Well it IS what it IS.
The funny thing is, the US government created ISIS. Well, at least thats what I keep hearing.
Anyway, I think that if paypal didn't have english subtitles and it defaulted to arabic, then would you say paypal is linked to ISIS?

I can draw your avatar!
It is probably a popular font to use, so ofcourse ISIS, as hip and trending as they are being a whole new nation and whatsnot use the font style that has the best appearance to their audience. Google, being more hip and trendy and very marketing orientated also uses the  most popular font of the moment. It is not a big deal.

I am not sure, if I should laugh or if I should bang my head on the desk.
OP is a racist and retarded. Oh wait, cancel the retarded since all racists are retarded anyways.
He is even more retarded since he thinks, he can't be racists against "middle-easterns" since he is "middle-eastern" himself. Fuck logic.
And what about the font? It is googles standard font for arabic.
Btw. I get english subtitles when I open the video. It has something to do, with your google-account/browser settings. So, no worries, not everybody gets this subtitles as default. So, the only ones, you have to worry about, are the self-hating "middle-easterns", like you.

which is very very similar

so you think its ISIS related. purely because of not using a formal font.

so if i find a government website that uses Ariel font instead of times new roman.. you will say the website is childish...and then i find a KKK website that uses calibri you will comment that it automatically makes people think the KKK is linked to governments because both websites dont use times new roman.....

so if i found a website that uses a british alphabet, then find another website using it.. you will also say that there is a pattern or link to the websites..

im afraid your grasping at straws and being very racist thinking that just because a video uses arabic writing that it must be a link to ISIS. i think you may have watched too much fox news propaganda and became very afraid of anyone who speaks, writes or looks arabic.

whats next, your going to make a plea to "bomb them bomb them bomb them" purely based on your bias

Such an embarrassing post. I hope OP disables it and moves it to the Junk section.

Actually, since BFL owns WeUseCoins...

Critic: BFL is not viable!
BFL: Is!
Critic: Is not, is not!
BFL: ISIS

LOL!!!!
HAHAHAHAHA.
I really didn't see that coming...
It brought tears to my eyes....

I will tell you guys this. I really like bitcoin, and use it to play poker, among other things. I'm often looked at like a criminal just for being associated with bitcoin. I'm really getting sick and tired of being treated like a criminal for liking bitcoin. If you think people's overall opinion of bitcoin is good then you are kidding yourself.

i think google gives different answers for everyone . ha ha this is what i got when i searched what is bitcoin
Bitcoin is a form of digital currency, created and held electronically. No one controls it.
Bitcoins aren't printed, like dollars or euros – they're produced by people, and increasingly businesses, running computers all around the world, using software that solves mathematical problems.
i didnt get any video linking bitcoin to ISIS .

"font".....
i think you mean alphabet..


No, i mean FONT!
Can you read Arabic or Farsi? I can! And I'm telling you, that is a distinct font that is very child-like and lacks any structure.





all in all bitcoin is international with no borders or limits. if you think that a videos subtitles means that bitcoin is ISIS based... then you are missing the point of bitcoin




I feel like I'm talking to a wall! I'm not saying middle east should not use bitcoin! What I'm saying is that you don't want the first impression of bitcoin for a new comer to be a black background, white ISIS fonts! I was simply pointing out that subconsciously people might link the two.

Here are some fonts. I can tell you which one is more classic, which one is more childish, which one is better for, like a cartoon, which one is used in religious texts etc etc. Trust me when i tell you it's a ugly childish font which is very very similar to the one used in the isis flags.

i think you mean alphabet..

its the arabic alphabet. and as for the style of the lettering, it is not the same font as the ISIS flag.

you might aswell say that all black people look the same becase you cannot see the subtle differences.
you might aswell say that the font calibri is the same as ariel
you might aswell say that a mcdonalds burger is the same as a steakhouse burger

all i see is a messed up video where someone hacked the site and changed the translations available.. probably to cause controversy and make something worth writing about.. im kinda guessing it's probably someone like you that done it to try to provoke boring conversations.

Wow dude! You have a collection of crosses and white hoods in your basement, don't you.

you guys are fucking retarded!
again.. you can NOT claim that the ISIS flag bring happiness and joy to people, nor should it!
answer me, why would the default CC for someone who lives in the US be arabic, and why would it be that font!?

None of you ass clowns have an answer for me, all you got is "RACIST!!"

It does the captions in Arabic because there is no English captions. If you click the gear next to the cc button and look at the options for caption languages, you will see that English is not on the list. Therefore, it defaults to the first language on the list which is Arabic since it is alphabetical. If you change your language preference at the bottom of the page to a language on that most, it will default to that language.

No English caption? You don't find that a bit strange? we don't have def people browsing the internet? English speaking def people should not be using bitcoin then?  They don't need CC? is that what you're telling me?

Oh, and btw, you completely ignored the childish, graffiti-looking font!

God you guys! Stop yelling racist at every fucking chance you get!
Astaghforellah!  (FYI.. that basally means FOR FUCK SAKES)

The fact that the OP thinks those fonts are the same leads me to think that they, contrary to what they stated, cannot read Arabic nor Farsi, and is acting like a big racist right now.

Mmmmkay buddy. Paste a picture of an arabic or a farsi sentence for me to translate.
Ga head..

I thought the CC (captions) of a Youtube video automatically set itself according to your browser language/ip location.

This is actually not google's doing, but the person who posted the video. You see, when you click the "cc" button for captions, it will default the caption to the first in the list of available captions which the uploader had to provide. The list is sorted alphabetically, so, arabic is first.

I don't know what your smoking, but this does not prove that google subconsciously links bitcoin to ISIS. Just because ISIS uses a publicly available font for their flag does not mean that everything written in that font is related to ISIS. And personally, I don't see how the fonts are the same, they just look similar because it's arabic.
