I just recently read this CNN article which discusses how cryptocurrency/bitcoin are being used to fund Hamas. Now I'm completely and utterly against war for the most part (unfortunately there are times where war is a necessary evil) but this does show how helpful /useful bitcoin/cryptocurrency can be. I know it's being used for a negative thing here, but that doesn't take away the fact that it's providing legitimate utility here.

Here's the article, I highly recommend reading it - https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/12/us/hamas-funding-crypto-invs

Yes, it's true, regardless of whether it's good or bad, they use crypto to finance a war, but the presence of crypto really does provide comfort in terms of security.

I've also read the news, why do so many parties want to block Hamas' bank accounts? Even though this is unfair, while they (Israel) are being helped by America, Hamas is not allowed to be helped by anyone. Where do the rules for war come from? Why doesn't the UN do anything as a function of protecting and making peace between those at war? So it's only natural that Hamas uses blockchain technology to receive aid because if you use a bank account you will automatically be found out and your account will be frozen.

This is still an allegation but the allegation is very possible, and as we all know it, Russia may pretend on the surface but whom the US supports is what they will against.

There are many allegations from different quarters that Gaza is raising funds through cryptocurrency and I will not doubt this much since cryptocurrency is porous, it's a very good opportunity for illicit flow as well, which has been my concern ever since and my need to always support more regulation in the crypto space.

No matter how they gather it for Gaza, it can't help much other than finding a lasting solution to the war. Hamas should have rethought their decision before waking a sleeping lion with violence.

Putin’s Russia has long become a terrorist state that supports terror and destabilization of peace throughout our planet. This is one of the few states that constantly creates the image of an external enemy for its citizens and thus mobilizes them to unite around the existing government, and thus this government stays afloat for a long time. Therefore, Russia cannot exist without wars with its neighbors.

The Hamas attack on Israel would hardly be so powerful if it were not supported by today's Russia, which needs to distract its people and the peoples of the world from military failures on the Ukrainian front, try to discredit Ukraine and deprive it of international assistance. But these attempts will still become obvious over time and boomerang on Russia itself. In this case, Israel will clearly not forgive Russia for providing assistance to Hamas.

Error. It was not Putin's Russia that became a terrorist country, it was the USSR that developed the concept of world terrorism, put it into practice, and Russia only inherited these "achievements". There is nothing surprising or unexpected in this news. Believe me - there is still a lot of interesting news about the scriptwriters of this massacre in Israel, and the word "Russia" will be more and more often. Already now there is evidence that there were weapons, specialists and "consultants" and I do not exclude that intelligence about the IDF was also betrayed to terrorists from the hands of Russian intelligence. Now I'm talking to acquaintances who are in Israel, they say a lot of very "interesting" finds are made and received from captured terrorists. But the Kremlin's bastard Netanyahu will probably try to hide or classify it. But hopefully the truth will be available

Russian Exchange Allegedly Transfers Millions in Crypto for Fundamentalists in Gaza

Islamic Jihad, a Palestinian extremist organization active in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, has received part of a $ 93 million payment through a Russian cryptocurrency exchange called Garantex, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported.

The company, originally registered in Estoniabut headquartered in Moscow,was sanctionedby the U.S. Treasury Department in April 2022 as part of measures to prevent Russian efforts to evade financial restrictions imposed over the invasion of Ukraine.

The crypto trading platform allegedly processed illicit transactions from the ransomware group Conti and darknet market Hydraas well. It was also used to launder money for Russia’s largest crypto pyramid scheme, Finiko,and raise funds for the Russian far-right paramilitary unit Rusich.source
