If governments wanted to make crime fighting money, they'd have done so long ago. The friction that comes with building crime fighting features into our money would be so economically damaging that we forego it and fight crimes using the infrastructure used to account for and store our money.

I'm sure there are plenty of terrorist groups out there that have nothing to do with the US. IMO there is no such thing as peace as far as "Money" is concerned. Technically Bitcoin is "Money".

They don't need Bitcoin.

The USA quite happily accepts dollars for the weapons they sell to terrorists.

when you pay taxes in US dollars, you fund terrorism.  bitcoin is the currency of peace.

furthermore, how would your hypothetical work?  how could bitcoin fund terrorism in a way that fiat could not?  specifically.  bitcoin is not anonymous, and the exchanges follow pretty thorough KYC/AML.

I was thinking about how easily everything could get out of hand with bitcoin so easily being passed around. I mean if the wrong people know about it, they could quite easily use bitcoin to fund weapons and all sorts..what are your thoughts?
