I'm sure ISIS uses Bitcoin. Some people even the fund the organization by providing them with Bitcoin and other altcoins. Like every technology, Blockchain will be used for bad causes and also good causes.

ISIS uses American dollars, that's for sure. Does this mean that you need to prohibit dollars?
I think OP was legitimately asking a question and wasn't saying that BTC should be banned if it is.

We all know that Bitcoin is also popular to criminals because they can use it without exposing their identity. It will be more convenient to them to use Bitcoin so that they can hide their identity. Do you think that terrorist groups like ISIS use it for their transactions?
They are technologically very advanced as compared to other such groups especially in the field of IT. They might be using it, but I think its not as beneficial to them as we consider it to be. And if they are using it, it doesn't make any difference.

There's a possibility they are using bitcoin because bitcoin is convenient and easy to use even for dirty transactions. It's convenient for them because they can send a big amount of money even without being noticed by the authorities.

I think they are using it I have heard a story that anonymous are hacking their bitcoin in the deepweb ,
I don't think if that's true or what but I strongly believe that they are already using it because as long as they could use it as a payment for their transaction they would use it.

We all know that the bitcoin is popoular...we cant sure the reason behind this is legalisation and regulations of the bitcoin making the bitcoin more open and this retarding the people to use bitcoin for illegal porpuse..

There's a big possibility that criminals are also using bitcoins. Their identity cannot be known when using bitcoin. I think this should also be considered by the developers of bitcoin- how to trace suspicious persons. At the end of everything, we should be one with the government in not tolerating terrorists or criminals.

I don't think ISIS has bitcoin as their source of funds. Probably they have a financial backer but bitcoin is unimaginable.

It has been well documented that in fact they raided Syria of old Christian artefacts and then were flogging them on the dark web for bitcoin. I think that they will probably have a sizeable BTC wallet !!

Do you know in which dark market the antiques were put on sale? This is the first time I am hearing about it. If this is true, then I am sure that it was an isolated incident. Because the usual route for ISIS to sell the antiques was through smugglers in Turkey and the payment was usually made in either Turkish Lira, United States Dollar or Syrian Pound.

if the IS ever uses bitcoin, it becomes a platform for their arrest and destruction. Much as bitcoin is decentralised, certain protocols can be tapped into to discover why certain transactions were made and from where.

Of course they do - what they do is a business - they know exactly what they are doing, don't you believe otherwise.

Maybe. They do anything to secure fundings for their senseless terror actions.

Who knows?  As pointed out bitcoin is no longer truly anonymous so that would pose a disadvantage but for transferring money quickly without many of the problems with normal methods it would still be an advantage.

No, I don't think so. They have nothing to do with bitcoin. They are not high-tech terrorist.
