Their main funding source is USD as weapons and oil are traded in USD.

but no one talk about that, maybe because there is enough bad light on it? or because people want new stuff everytime, to spit on...

it seems that many cannot live without throwing shit at something every day

I think ISIS really use bitcoin as one of their funding sources, but i'm sure most founding sources comes from oil.
I hope they lost their wallet or hacked by someone, so we don't see news about criminal cases which use bitcoin.

Bitcoin is just minor part of their fundings, but media went crazy about it.

This!!

It just doesn't make any sense they use bitcoin. It's just an other currency. Don't get it why the news keep putting bitcoin into the bad news. A lot of good foundations use it too but that isn't in the news.

I read some presses about ISIL and Bitcoin recently. And I am thinking that those could be correct - funding via Bitcoin network. Bitcoin may be transparent on the internet (blockchain) but if one decide to use a mixer, it is hard to track. There is also no central authority which make it even easier to transfer money across countries. I really hope that there is a way to crack down terrorists funding process. Sadly there is no way in which Bitcoin is designed for. This is making more people to "hate" Bitcoin. This is not helping Bitcoin at all.

So far there is no solid proof isis used bitcoin as their funding sources.

They are only guessing about it but on today morning i heard that they have used one messaging app which encrypt their messages. This may point towards bitcoin too as bitcoin is also encrypted coin.

I think so that is their imagination what source was the funding for them bitcoin easy to use and move around the world just in one click that is why they mentioned it can be one of these.

Honestly, there is no way for for the mainstream public to use bitcoin without bitcoin going into the hands of individuals who will use it for nefarious purposes. Similar to how just as fiat currency as the dollar is used to fund illegal operations and activities, you can't hold a mindset that someone won't use Bitcoin in a negative connotation to fund political/social change.

I figured, thanks for the link. After the author of the article was called out, he tweeted " Islamic State members/supporters have solicited #Bitcoin donations and made transactions. I stand by my story."

I bet they "have solicited #Bitcoin donations and made transactions"......but that is slightly different from "thousands of dollars worth of bitcoin has been sent to accounts purportedly affiliated with "Islamic State, with the one of the accounts registering its first transaction in 2012. However, following a chain of transactions from the concerned account leads to another with more than $3 million (2.65 million euros) in bitcoin" which is implying something more drastic. I wish there was a way he could share his proof Roll Eyes

With the recent attack in Paris, many questioned 'again' where the hell those terrorist got their funds. Hidden agenda or secret talks? Some people already know the hidden truth about it* and bitcoin already part of their sources.

Basically, because bitcoin transaction is as light as feather, it's really making hard to be accepted worldwide.

What can you say about this?

Are they very sure of this report?
oh well, if it is. i think using btc as source of their funds is just common.
as it is the easiest way to use. no more questions about it.
they also mention gold. so ii think btc dont really put a bad thing in here.
i think it actually comercialize it...

A report says that it was not only bitcoins, rhey recieved funds in form of other crypto currencies also.
And at a time one of their bitcoin address was holding around 3 million $ in bitcoins.

source? I'm not denying they have received cryptocurrency, but I find this hard to believe

The other 3 makes sense as they are something that can stolen and/or controlled and generate money. Bitcoin as a funding source? Whoever gave them the bitcoin is the funding source. Unless they are mining or made some smart investments.

Are there miners in the part of Syria controlled by IS? Nobody noticed, but BTC isn't a source of funding. It's a currency, and it doesn't grow on trees. IS has oil which it can sell on the black market to generate an income, but if IS has a way to make an income from BTC, I don't know what it is. I'd like to know so I can do it, too.

it's about transferring funds not about as "income". Bitcoin facilitates this thing.

More than 90% from Bitcoin's market is from ponzies(HYIPs) and black market(you can add funding terrorism). Bitcoin will have bad days shortly.

There is only a small percent of people who are speculators(let's call them, honest people).

The BTC media is keep screaming about adoption and other shits. Pure lies, just to attract more stupid hipsters investors. There is no adoption. Why would someone without mental health problems use Bitcoin when he/she has credit cards/debit cards with ZERO fees and instant transactions?

The debates about fork shit, Coinbase shit and other BTC shits will become good jokes. BTC exchangers will be closed one by one and BTC will collapse. You will see banks who will close exchanges accounts because of this news too.
