The actual headline is "Anonymous hacks ISIS site, replaces it with Viagra ad". The article is not about Bitcoin and only mentions it in passing:

“The French people are stronger than you and will come out of this atrocity even stronger,” said Anonymous. And starting with Viagra, this is one prophecy that’s sure to come true.
How can they be stronger if they have Viagra instead of weapons to defend themselves? Did you see what happened when crowd gathered to pray and put flowers in the place of tragedy and someone fired firecracker?“The French people are stronger than you and will come out of this atrocity even stronger,” said Anonymous. And starting with Viagra, this is one prophecy that’s sure to come true.
Total panic of the crowd, people ran through these candles and flowers like a cattle. I am afraid that switching banners on ISIS sites are not gonna help anyone in this case.

Anything to stop the senseless killings in this world. I hate politics and people killing in the name of religion ... How can you tell someone to start believing in what they believe, if
you cut off their heads and you kill them in a concert when they having fun. It is a whole other story, when I go to your country and I am a soldier intent on killing you. When you
go to another country and you kill innocent people, you need to be held responsible. That apply to ALL parties on both sides. It is a shame, that things are getting this bad and a
good thing that someone is standing up for Bitcoin, when it's being blamed for terrorism funding.

Anonymous hacks ISIS site, replaces it with Bitcoin Pharmacy ad [http://www.coinrx.is]

Anonymous is making good on its promise of a digital battle against ISIS and has struck a blow, ridiculing the terror group with an unlikely but potent weapon — mockery. On Thursday, the Ghost Sec, a hacking group related to Anonymous, gained control of a website supporting the Islamic State and replaced it with a Viagra advertisement. “Please gaze upon this lovely ad so we can upgrade our infrastructure to give you ISIS content you all so desperately crave,” reads the hacked version of the site, noting that there is simply “Too Much ISIS” in the world.
Before the site was completely removed, it was actually possible to purchase the sexual performance enhancing drug using bitcoins. Viagra, Ghost Sec suggested, would help “Enhance your calm,” as “Too many people are into this ISIS-stuff.”
This is not the first move Anonymous has made against ISIS. Since posting a video following the tragedy in Paris, which promised to “unite humanity” and warned ISIS to “expect us,” the hackers have conducted a series of spam attacks against similar terrorist sites, and even managed to remove some of ISIS’ Twitter accounts.
“Anonymous from all over the world will hunt you down,” said a group spokesperson in the video, and continued, “You should know that we will find you and we will not let you go. We will launch the biggest operation ever against you.”

With increased efforts from groups like Anonymous and government officials alike to shut down ISIS’ online presence, where they spread much of their propaganda and recruit many of their members, some terrorists are attempting to take their digital footprints to the dark Web. This part of the Internet is more difficult to access, and generally requires users to employ specific tools that allow for anonymity, making it more difficult to track activity. But even so, with redoubled efforts from an internationally united cybercommunity, it may prove difficult for ISIS to hide online.
