Topic: Bitcoin - way to finance terrorism ? (Read 1807 times)

I`m very sorry, but it looks like a stupidity

Suppose that btc will the new gold soon

Maybe but it is not the reason to ban bitcoin.

If ISIS use USD, are you going to ban USD?

Anything in the world, money, faith, bitcoin... can be used for good or bad.
I think that US government should punish terrorists, not bitcoin network.
Any way, there is no central bank or government behind bitcoin, everything is decentralized, so US government can't do much to stop btc!

no doubt this time the means of payment has been very diverse.
Anything that is valuable can be a transaction tool, bitcoin as a transaction tool used by terrorists? Why not?
let alone the advantages of transacting with bitcoin, which is very difficult to detect.
it becomes more value to transact let alone terrorists, those hidden organizations.

Fiat, the way to finance slavery. ISIS understands this. But the slaves of the banks don't.

Terrorists can receive dollars, euros, gold, drugs or even Bitcoin, but it's not a question of the currency.
The same thing is with messengers - open all conversations for intelligence agencies because they can be used by terrorists. Really? Can they use emails or calls? Of course, they can and this is the question of the total control, not about security.

The CIA does not need help financing its terrorism
Al qaeda and Isis created by the satanists in the usa govt, the CIA being their fingers

Bitcoin is a way to prevent the most common financing method of terrorism: monetary supply fraud.

Even if ban all money -  finance terrorism will be through the goods

Cash is also a way to fund terrorism
I don't hear of anyone advocating the banning of cash

Bitcoin is money, so naturally it can fund anything.  I wouldn't be interested in bitcoin if there was some way it couldn't.

BTC is not really anonymous

Sounds like FUD/BS. BTW ISIS issued (or planned issuing) gold and silver coins. Should we ban gold and silver to foil their evil plans ? Probably you can find far more ISIS supporters who donating all kinds of fiat money (incl. USD) to them than supporters who using BTC.

But once Bitcoin is underground, how will anyone know if the government still isn't pulling the strings?

Bitcoin could just go fully underground then and become even less regulated.

ISIS using Bitcoin? Yes, the American government is using Bitcoin! ISIS and the US government are the same entity.

First, it used to be drugs... Now it is terrorism.
You will have to come up with something better to oust Bitcoin. 

its much easier to finance terrorism with fiat than bitcoin.you have to find someone to sell bitcoins

This just in: 99.9999999999999999% of all crime so far was not funded using Bitcoin.

Logic twists so easily.

If one country funded terrorism. It was America. There is no Bitcoin needed, governments in Arabic countries get funded by America, and years later dethroned if they are a risk to our oil economy. Bin Laden etc. We're all funded. Not a conspiracy just basic history and facts.

It's not the funding that's causing terrorism it's the brainwashing done by so called religious groups. The medium they use to transfer funds is not to be blamed.

The us govt murdered 3000 people on September 11th and this was before bitcoin. Terrorism will be around as long as Satan and his people have this earth under their control. They created the 911 crisis then they answered their crisis with attacking Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Iraqi oil going to the only real govt on the planet the United Nations the true boss of the USA. You know the united nations who has us all under a federal reserve system controlled by lucifer worshiping homosexuals in the EU? The united nations who charters cruise ships in the Mediterranean with children sex slaves on board??

Ahh dont forget Afghanistan where the Heroin production was increased 400% and the control of this heroin is attributed to the skull and bones secret society at yale university which George Bush and his father are both part of. Yes bush had US soldiers and aircraft carriers ready to invade Afghanistan before 911 happened and within days they were right in there paying the CIA created taliban with gold bars

It is sad to me how many people are happy to live deceived. I guess this is why so many people end up in hell. Whats next poor govt. you are going to teach the children more evolution, that nothing exploded and then rained on the rocks for millions of years and created amoebas which became monkeys and then humans??

Bitcoin has nothing to do with terrorism. But if the govt wants to do some attacking on bitcoin they can have their CIA workers create the crisis then they have the solution to fill the void.The terrorists are the ones who receive the taxes...put me on a watch list because I am not one of your sheep, yes my GOD is stronger than yours you poor fools in the 50 pentagram conspiracy USA....

Anyone using bitcoin is good for the currency. Even terrorist. It would be really nice irony if the ones who would propagate btc would be those nice sexually frustrated guys.

OP wat did they use to fund 911

I don't know, if you get some well used dollar bills, they might be absorbent enough to take up a good bit of a solution of the "usual suspect"  nitrate compounds. Then you can dry them out, pack a briefcase full of them and get blown up on the way to the target of choice when someone trips over it on the bus.

It's just money, any money can be used terrorism.

FED do QE
QE make money
money paid terrorist
america aid terrorist
end

fail

goto bitcoin

The Business Insider article doesn't at all claim that exchanges will be shutdown, it only calls out that Bitcoin's anonymity enables criminals to move funds without detection. I don't think exchanges would go away in the US, however the US Gov could required US based exchanges to require accounts and information collected about anyone who uses the exchange, which would allow the Gov to get some information about users.

You can finance terrorism with gold too.

Maybe they will shutdown anything gold related and seize all the gold in the world too. 

any kind of monetary value could fund anything let alone terrorism.... diamonds could fund terrorism too ..but you don't see them outlawing those so i dont think its gonna matter , bitcoin will be bitcoin and will persevere through this sotrm

It won't belong when the survival of Bitcoin will depend on the altering of the vary nature of Bitcoin to conform to the WEST'S terrorist agenda.

ISIS hasn't had any trouble getting funds so far. They buy guns, they sell oil, they raise tax and they even talk about minting their own currency. They don't need BTC at all.

FUD attempt 4/10

Broke down as

Choice of boogieman 2/2

Directly affects your children imminently 0/2

affects unborn children 0/2

affects pets 0/2

Involves country of residence of people that are easy to make flip out 1/1

Source is major multinational news source read eagerly by grannies over their cornflakes, 1/1  (sarcastically)

Its every thing is clear from above article. What you need more about that?
One thing i want to ask that why its only bitcoin why not other altcoins. No one can find the and detect the physical location of the sender and receiver.

Very soon, many exchangers will be raided and closed (most of them from USA)

The attacks from France will bring the subject from below in discussion again :
