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.

They probably are, because as we know Bitcoin is the fastest way to send money anywhere and anytime.
And Bitcoin is anonymous, so it's "little bit" safe for them to do a transaction.

Even it is true Bitcoin is not the bad thing here is just the people.

They make more money on Oil than BTC so yeah.

My view is that this doesn't change Bitcoin's reputation a bit even if it's true. Articles are probably lie, but it seems quite plausible they are using what is the ONLY money in the world right now.

a lot of discussion about this happen but in the end they say its just a lie or black propaganda
but still there are some possiblity that they also use it
but even in the bad way its still a good advertisement for bitcoin
because they cant just blame bitcoin because its just a currency
even they make a lot of black propaganda about bitcoin it will just keep going
cause there still a lot using it

Altough there is no firm proof of these news but then also because of bitcoins qualities it is easy to use for funding and that's why there are 100 percent chances of this news to be true.

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!

If they would, this would be pretty stupid:

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? Considering they are probably making purchases internationally, sending hundreds of thousands of dollars isn't easy with cash. Bitcoin is the easiest form of payment. Unfortunately, this will be tainting BTC's reputation worse than silk road if mainstream media gets a hold of the story and make it a big deal (as they do with everything).

Yes , they are also using cars and planes and fiat and things that other people use but that doesn't mean anything . Does it ? the problem is the media who are trying (for one reason or another) to show people that Bitcoin is only for Blackhat hackers , Criminals and terrorists .

You have right. Only Banksters and Governments are affraid of Bitcoin and they produce media campaigns against Bitcoin. When Bitcoin will be stronger the attacks will be stronger. We have to get used to it
This is a perfect way of governments getting what they want....to see bitcoin taken off line. Before this wasn't money used for the longest time. I don't think the issue should be how to prevent it. Did anyone hear if they were refuges?

So they are mining bitcoin or buying it with fiat?
Now lets go back to the mining thing: they use an ordinary computer or a miner hardware (such antminer...etc); so if they use the first one then i could say that this isn't profitable and they can't made a million btc. The second possiblity they need to buy thoses expensive miners with fiat!
Q: Nah maybe they bought btc? A: with fiat

Thoses genius hypocrites think they are talking to donkeys not humans with brains.

Bitcoin is a free and decentralized software that can be used by everyone so it wouldn't surprise me that they are really using Bitcoin. If this would make their dirty endeavors easier and more efficient then they might be using it.

They are also using Internet and Internet makes their endeavors easier. I wonder should we then ban Internet as well. Fiat as well, etc..

There is a lot of site on the Darkweb that permit you to fund islamic terrorism, so this don't surprise me a lot. Some of them might be fraudulent but I'm afraid that some might also be legit Undecided...

And who knows behind the name of "islamic terrorism" there is something else. Because you know it is darknet. Noone knows the real truth.
Bitcoin was bad because of this shitty news.

the real question is, is this beneficial for bitcoin? yes? then who care let them use it

no? then ok they are probably going to use this for something small not going to impact the bitcoin scene to much, and btw this was not a recent news, it was said early this year already...

now we are at the stage of repeating the same fud, very nice...
