Topic: is ISIS really using Bitcoin? - page 3. (Read 5154 times)
I don't think so. Bitcoin is not anonymous enough. Don't forget that gouvernment can always see what's going on with all transaction.
i don't think bitcoin is used by ISIS because there was no real evidence shown with any artical that said isis using bitcoin to terrorize peple
IS might use bitcoin, but that is a very small proportion of the total spending of IS. Their main income is from oil smuggling into Turkey and donations from Sunny Muslins.
isis probably use petrol-dollar, narco/army-traffic dollar and other fiat currencies to buy army and make propaganda.
Maybe it is, maybe it is not. Whoever are using Bitcoin that's their personal business. Should we consider stop using water because so many people were drowned in it?
Maybe this would answer your question:

There's a note in there saying that they're not affiliated with the group though. I kind of doubt it. A little.

What if the answer is yes, would you stop using Bitcoin?
There is no point to discuss about this in here, because whatever happens we will definitely would continue to use Bitcoin.

No one ever said that ISIS was using Bitcoin to terrorise people, isn't that kind of weird, Bitcoin isn't made for illegal purposes. It is what people do with Bitcoin that is sometimes illegal. I don't like the fact that Bitcoin gets blamed for all this kind of illegal stuff. Everything bad that happens, people find a way to bring Bitcoin into it.
They haven't show us yet any solid proof about this
But then, i think there's nothing wrong with BTC used as illegal stuff
You know, way back before Bitcoin exist this kind of group of terrorist already using Gold,Fiat, any sort of currency for their transactions
Bitcoin is not the culprit in here, anything can be illegal if it was used in the wrong way
The only thing i worried about this is that people would be scared of using bitcoin and thus not making bitcoin mainstream

Exactly. We need some solid evidence before we can believe this accusation or theory.
1 problem with currency in general is that it can be used for illegal uses, but every time something illegal happens to Bitcoin, people seem to make it a bigger deal than it should actually be.
Yeah....it is kind of bad that this happens because it means Bitcoin is 1 step further from becoming mainstream.

I think ISIS use also a bitcoin, because they like anonymous , prefer in gamble,
I hate how all this stuff demolishes Bitcoin's reputation. Bitcoin is a great cryptocurrency and it deserves better. But Bitcoin also tends itself to hacking so I am not too surprised to see this. You also didn't provide us with trustworthy sites. Other sites can just post what they want.
Don't believe everything you read on the internet.

The use of bitcoin is depending on people that used it, whether for a bad thing or a good thing. Yeah,we'll know that bitcoin is very suitable for illegal stuff, but I still standing on bitcoin side
that doesn't even matter. the truth is that they are using USD and US arms and US bombs... In the end it all goes back to the USD...
I dont know,and i dont find any true article about this
.but i dont care and i think this ia not affect to us,bitcoin user

Even if they are using bitcoins as payment or funding. There's nothing you can really do about it, just like how they are able to use the dollar and who knows whatever what currencies they can get their hands on to.
Banks move funds and launder cash for terrorists since 2012.

I think it's nonsense to blacken bitcoins name and image.
don't see why not since it is used for alot of blackhat activities without any traces.
