Topic: is ISIS really using Bitcoin? - page 5. (Read 5154 times)
Yes there i a probability they using it. In fact they are using all types of currencies depending on their location. does that mean that the currencies are bad? of course no it is just a channel of exchanging value that can be used by every one. The media should just be creative enough and come up with other better stories if they want it to sell. Bitcoin is going to do wonders in our generation and it is here to stay no matter what the critics say. My answer is yes
ISIS might be using Bitcoin but probably aren't for the same reasons most of the rest of the world isn't. Too volatile too hard to exchange too open to hacker theft... Which, if they prove and show the address, would pretty much mean "open season" for those millions. If someone can hack them and steal those coins it would be welcomed by the rest of us!
Very true... I see Anonymous {The Hacker group} already declared WAR on ISIS and they targeted Twitter accounts, used for communication. You could just imagine if they got
hold of a Bitcoin addresses used for terrorism funding. They would create havoc and you would see ISIS soldiers running around with air pistols and knives.
Bitcoin is definitely not the safest and most secure method of payment, when you use it in the wrong way.
... I would actually prefer them not using it, but if they want to use it, they should suffer the consequences when it gets hacked.
I remember them doing the same thing vs the Mexican drug cartel but had to stop because their members were getting decapitated.
In recent Paris attack The Anti-terrorism group of ethical hackers, Ghost Security Group (GSG), said that ISIS regularly uses cryptocurrencies to fund its terrorist operations and they have have found a BTC address associated with them and found that they have worth 3 million bitcoin in there account!
That's really disgusting!

It's not disgusting. It is what it is.
if at all true, then it has to be one of these addresses:

so any bitcoin analysts care to investigate?
hehe, this is a good idea. I'd say at the time of posting (2015-09-20) the Bitcoin price was around $231: http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/bitstampUSD#rg90zczsg2015-09-19zeg2015-09-21ztgSza1gEMAzm1g10za2gEMAzm2g25zvhttp://ondn.net:800/

This makes BTC 12987
Top100 balances from 2015-09-20 anybody?
I dont think so. But if so nothing will happend with bitcoin.
ISIS are using dollars and oil, what's the issue? It's the same stuff all over the world.
Isis is a terorrist organism. Proof? They attacked paris.
Isis used bitcoin as fund resources. Proof? Nothing.

They are using it as a currency, like other terrorist groups use the dollar etc.

Even if theyre not using btc for some of their transaction, it is inevitable for bitcoin not being use
in illegal transactions because of its anonymity.

I think this would be a terrible thing for Bitcoin if it is true. They say all press is good press but I don't think it is actually good when ISIS is associated with it.
I hope not. But if so I don't think they earn so much with BTC.
Oil is the main think for them.
Oil is the main think for them.
Well yeah. The CIA has to give money to ISIS somehow.
But no, I would imagine those reports are pretty exaggerated. I've never been to Syria or Iraq, but I'm assuming it's a little difficult to cash bitcoin out there.
They might be using bitcoin but since bitcoin is anonymous, you can't really track them down
Unless of course you're part of Anonymous, yes they did indeed already declared war with ISIS
So they might be able to hack ISIS and rek their funds

As it's cleared that fiat currencies cannot be used by terrorists for their demonic materials.
They need an international currency. Digital currencies are the oy remaining option. But, bitcoins are not the only digital currency. Litecoins and many such other currencies do exist. So simply pointing finger towards bitcoins is not right. Other currencies may be used here. So, answer is - not sure.

Hey you know what dude? Take care ISIS is also using dollars xD
BTC is a currency, a currency is used to exchange goods and services. Why wouldn't it be used by ISIS?
Especially because it's a universal currency so...
Just hope it won't harm bitcoin.

Logically thinking, it's very clear they use crypto's to fund illegal activities. They're criminals. Why would they use easily traceable fiat currencies?
Because the banks are the ones who finance this conflict. The banks are not using bitcoin so the IS has to use USD as the banks do.
i cant find the articles on internet,everything used by isis is not our busines,we just bitcoiner,no matter if isis using bitcoin or not. and they are have right to use bitcoin. but we dont care about it,lets just make isis not use bitcoin,and burn they 
I can not imagine if isis using bitcoin.
but I think fair if they use bitcoin. because it is a digital currency. They also possible to using the US dollar and other currencies

I can't even imagine ISIS being real.

I don't see how this would shed bad light on bitcoin
They're probably using US dollar too and whoever knows what other currency they are using
Yes they might be using bitcoin for illigal activity but they are doing the same with the dollar
Plus, I haven't seen any solid proof of this.
