Terrorist is in the eye of the beholder. It's a term that has been used to. Bitcoin is in fact not anonymous. The entire ledger of every transaction ever made since its inception is publicly replicated online, it's probably the least anonymous system ever created and used.
anonymous is not the word as it does involve someone to have publicly linked their username or business to an address for it to be transparent. so anonymity is 'possible'.
but the word that should be used is trackable.
bank notes have a serial number and when you hand it to another person it is not instantly logged as 'changing hands'. it is only logged when it reaches a bank deposit, whereby it may have changed hundreds of hands inbetween.
but each changing of hands of bitcoin is tracked...

blaa blaa keep trotting this tired and untrue lie like a parrot. bitcoin can be very anonymous, and will only get more so as we make the tools more user friendly. this propaganda is spoonfed to people on a plate of bitcoin legitimisation and acceptance. you are being manipulated for some group's own ends.

Lol, Fox News is the most biased news channel there is. No one should watch Fox.
Is there any American news channel which is not biased? Faux News, MSNBC, CNN - all are the same. Add BBC of England to this bunch. Compare these channels to the German, Russian and other European channels and you'll see the difference.
Fox used to be the most obvious, then some of the others lowered their "standards".

LOL, these guys are going to have a heart attack when Zerocoin comes out!
All altcoins are shitcoins, Bitcoin will assimilate you.Can you name a single industry with only one company?
How about a single popular product with only one company offering consumers a chance to buy?
The world has 1000's of niches and there is room for a decent number of alt coins to thrive.
Exactly so.
My $.02.

I first read about Zerocoin a long time ago.
When is it supposed to finally be released?
LOL, these guys are going to have a heart attack when Zerocoin comes out!
Yeah, they may...which is when the ban hammer starts coming out which is less than good.
That was the next expected step that the government would take when the propaganda about it being a safe haven for money laundering, and illicit goods didn't really stick...

Thanks Dutchman for the resources.
The idea of an instantaneous, almost-anonymous and difficult-to-trace payment network is bound to get attention from any government that uses payment surveillance as a crime-fighting tool method of control.
FTFY, author's political bias removed. You are more than welcome!
From time to time as I find things of interest to the community, I will post them up!

These DoD call to actions are common. What it basically does is says that the DoD is willing to fund contractors that will give them information on the topic they are asking about.
Usually someone with an inside connection to the reviewing agency will put together a contract with all of the wording that the agency is looking for.
Then the key is to know what the agency wants the results to look like. Then you do some pseudo scientific research and analysis and come up with the answer they want. You put it together in some big briefing or product with the idea that you need more funding to move to the next phase (for bitcoin the next phase would be a program to monitor and help fight the terrorists using bitcoin) which brings in the big money.
The person who used to be in charge of the whole thing (some Colonel or General) eventually retires and gets hired by the same company that he funded for the big project and makes bank sitting on his ass getting more contracts using his inside connections. And the cycle continues.

Too much truth in this post.

I think it is a bit short sighted to have said they already laughed at us and attacked us. The attacking has not really yet begun, just the ridicule has.
When Bitcoin and Cryptos start affecting the banking system en mass, expect false flag attacks "funded" in bitcoin to suddenly surface. Expect paper wallets
to be planted and people set up to make it look like bitcoin was involved. The way intelligence agencies are going to attack bitcoin
and cryptos (and not governments per say) is going to shock people. And since these psychopaths own the failing news agencies, they will get
the word out (if anyone is still watching LOL).
The intelligence agencies are basically extensions of privately held wealth and they will try their hardest to corrupt and destroy
bitcoin as it relates to the freedoms they bring. They will try to co-opt it and restrict its use to stop "terrorism" (which yes, if you haven't noticed
is generally state sponsored - on itself.) But, before they do this, they will let it grow, then when the threat is apparent a terror
attack will be blamed (or rather set up) that used bitcoin. I just can't see these psychopaths letting a chance slip by.
If you think this sounds crazy, just look to recent history. We can have obviously falsified information being the reason for invading a country
like Iraq and killing 1,000,000 people and no one went to jail for it. On the bright side though, they didn't get Syria.
But we have a chance as we are not in this alone. Figure that one out...
Its about sharing

I wouldn't sweat too much about it. Fox News has pretty much lost 100% credibility in my mind. Remember their reaction to the original Mass Effect?
For those who don't like Foxnews, read this and weep:
...
...
Why should we weep?
Foxnews has a bad reputation, and they deserve it, correct?
To be fair and balanced:
Some of the Fox News people are better than the competition, imo.
I stopped at "US Government Terrorism Agency" and thought to myself....how true that is. Freedom of thought is on the verge of being declared terrorism.
