Topic: Bitcoin and terrorists - page 2. (Read 1500 times)
Anyone who isn't at least a bit concerned about Bitcoin funding terrorism is fooling themselves. I like Bitcoin, but I like being alive even more.
It just means us semi anons will need to be more vigilant to protect the community we still have taint after all
HSBC have already been caught red handed money laundering for terrorists and drug dealers so it's not going to make much difference regardless of how much they scream about it.
Not any time soon.
Terrorists seem to like to move money using Western Union. Why have we not outlawed Western Union as it is clearly dangerous? I understand that we are going to outlaw pressure cookers soon.
Western Union requires ID. The biggest threat to TPTB from BTC is anonymity. Eventually governments will start saying all anonymous currencies are terrorist tools and must be banned. While they can't ban the currencies outright, they can make transfer from fiat almost impossible.
>implying that isn't already being done with fiat
No implications intended. Just a prediction.

We should all expect a "terror attack" with the villains supposedly funded by BTC. The feds and media would have a field day with that.
Wait for it...
