Well.. what if the weapon would have been paid in Euro ?
This still wouldn't be a reason to Ban Euro as a currency..
Same about oil... governments selling weapons for oil.. still.. Oil is not illegal yet

No way, i think all "armories" in the deep web are a scam.
I agree . All the things in darkweb about scam. There is no proof.
It is not easy to find the link between the buyers and sellers of guns with bitcoin. So all this type of news are only spreaded to bring the bitcoin price down and to force government to banned bitcoin like cryptocurrencies.

Apparently the assault rifles were bought from the dark web.
A suspected seller is held by the german authorities.
Any thought regarding the place of Bitcoin in this story ?

the guy arrested was converting starter pistols... not automatic guns
secondly he was supposedly selling automatics to people in paris..... yet the paris terrorists lived in brussels, not paris.
thirdly the police raided his house for other reasons and only 'believe' there might be a link, because AFTER raiding his house they found emails on his phone..
... um darknet markets do not trade via email!!
The yahoo article in the OP doesn't even mention Bitcoin.
In any case, if there is an example of Bitcoin being used by terrorists, the authorities should be happy. Bitcoin is much easier to trace than cash.

I think it's more likely that they bought them from the CIA with dollars.
they are probably buying their weapons at a blackmarket, so i doubt they are using bitcoin, but any form of low fiat or even their own currency exchanged for the local currency, will work
Yes, bought with BTC. Because you can buy illegal stuff with BTC only.

No discussion. That weapons, if bought there, are bought for sure with bitcoin. Is the only money there (as I know). And this have reaction even in the market of the weapons there. But is funny the reason. Not for the security of the humanity but for the security of the sellers. Anyhow all connected with the events of Paris.

If they were bought from Germany isnt the real question how did they get the guns from Germany to Paris, thats the real issue.
I think it's more likely that they bought them from the CIA with dollars.
Once you realise that ISIS, IS, ISL, alkieda or what ever the fuck they are calling it this week, was set up, funded, armed and let loose by western intelligence services, it puts things into perspective.
you cant blame bitcoin at all. When people rob banks for dollars bills no one said we gotta get rid of these dollar bills....

Not bitcoins fault,blame the murderous bastards who designed the planned to kill innocence people to prove something stupid in general.
I do not see how this is big deal when fiat and many other currency used to buy illegal items to. And yet, bitcoin is shine in bad light?
It make no sense, why bitcoin so vilified for this

So what? What about all the weapons that they are using in Syria? Or the Russian rockets that shot down a plan abovo Hungary?
Those were bought with fiat..

On the dark web they sell a lot of things that are forbidden in most country's. Of course they use the dark web on ebay would be stupid if you selling weapons. Supply and demand will always be there.
This can not be proven because all sources can not be found via them using the darkweb or darknet or what ever you would like to call it.
All in all guns and muntions can be bought from any source and even given away to their enemies to fight a war that they don't want to directly fight in. Like what happened in Iran Russia conflict.

I read other stories about it that say the police are playing down suspicions the arrested arms dealer sold the weapons used in the attack. It's the newspapers that are speculating. It's too early to say whether the story is true or not, it's all speculation. Until the police make a statement we won't know the truth.
This belongs in politics and society subforum I geuss, so move the topic please 
While it is politics and society it is also a bitcoin related case. It is hard to judge in this case. My view on this is matter is simple: bitcoin is a money, and every kind ofmoney can be used to purchase weapons and tools for terrorists. It is like blaming weapon factory for this crime because they are producing these guns - it is flawed logic.Jump to:
