| As the cryptocurrency loses favour, it looks like some companies may be rewriting history to explain away their names. We’ve all been there: sometimes you start a company, run it successfully for a few years, and then realise you hitched your horse to a slowly dying technology and there’s nothing you can do about it. So spare a thought for the companies scrabbling to jump off the bitcoin ship before it sinks. The currency’s value has been static for months (except for a brief boom and bust in early November when it was caught up in a Chinese ponzi scheme), but perhaps more damningly still, the hype has all but disappeared. |

Bitcoin Terrorists Linked To Paris Attacks
Next we'll hear of cryptoids blowing up their ASICs in their mom's basement when surrounded.
Be afraid of the cryptoids.
Oy vey! Blowing up ASICs? These bit-coiners sure start young! From their mom's basements, you say? Like this young gentleman here?
Amin admitted in a statement of fact as part of the plea agreement to using the twitter handle @Amreekiwitness to "provide advice and encouragement to ISIL and its supporters," according to a Department of Justice press release.
Additionally, Amin taught followers how to use bitcoin to covertly send funds to the terror group.

USD Used More often than BTC To Launder Money, Claims Researcher
Bitcoin scientist contends that Bit-coin, the budding currency of the underworld which accounts for as much as 0.0000000001% IRL financial transactions, is only responsible for 40% of criminal-to-criminal payments.
From our burgeoning 'Let's get sushi... and not pay!' department.
Ghost Security Group confirmed to NewsBTC that ISIS is “extensively using bit-coin for funding their operations” and that the group has “managed to uncover several bit coin addresses used by them.” Furthermore, bitcoin is “their prime form of currency.” No evidence was given, as the hackers “cannot go into more detail at the moment on current investigations.”
Thanks, Ghost Security Group guys. Never forgive. Never forget!In other news,

bitcoin is “their prime form of currency'' ?
This is beyond retarted, weapons cost a lot of money and the price is still around $330 per coin. IF ISIS is buying coins for weapons why i dont see moon?
fcking noobs, they dont even got a decent brain to think!
Because ISIS uses bit-coin the way it has been designed to be used -- as money, not as a store of wealth.
ISIS is not hoarding BTC -- criminals aren't stupid -- but rather uses it to move huge sums of money, cheaply and nearly instantaneously, anywhere in the world. And then sells it to bitcoiners (like you) for real money (like USD).
terror by money its in all not just btc or euro or dollar it happens when power comes to terror

This thread is pure horseschit, it has it all; trolls, fudsters and idiots.
btw the Bullish version outweight this one by far.

No. Negative news will always get more clicks than positive news. Fear is the strongest motivator. And it can be addictive.
The ironic things about these threads is that "news" doesn't really move price. Negative news has no impact in a bull market while positive news seems to move the market. And vice versa. Sentiment of speculators is tied to technicals, while supply demand fundamentals create long term price. Everything else is just noise.
If anything negative news is just a reminder that bitcoin is a disruptive technology that will be hated and disputed by many individuals, institutions and governments.
Whether bitcoin succeeds as a technology will be determined over the next 5-50 years, not today. No matter what the headlines are.

 | Berlin - The Group of Seven industrial nations plan to tighten the regulation of digital currencies such as bitcoin, which they suspect Islamic State is using to move funds secretly, the German magazine Der Spiegel reported on Wednesday. Stung by last week's Paris attacks, which Islamic State has claimed, the G7 finance ministers discussed the regulation of the so-called “fintechs” or financial technology firms on Monday at a private meeting during a Group of 20 summit in Turkey, the magazine said. The German Finance Ministry declined to comment, saying that G7 ministerial meetings were confidential [but if you did nothing wrong, you got nothing to worry about -ed]. |
Breaking: Anonymous Fraudster Not Eligible For Nobel Prize
From our How is this even news? department
First Ross doesn't get the Nobel Peace Prize but life in poison instead, and now this...
From our How is this even news? department
 | Since UCLA Professor of Finance Bhagwan Chowdhry suggested nominating supposed Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto for the 2016 Nobel Laureate in Economic Sciences, a lot of questions have come up. Namely, whether the Nobel Committee could award the prize to someone who might not even exist. It looks like the answer is no. In a terse statement, the organization's press officer, Hans Reuterskiöld, explained that the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Science in Memory of Alfred Nobel is never awarded anonymously nor posthumously. Also, claim sources close to the story, 'Dr. Bhagwan Chowdhry will not be invited to make any more crazy nominations.' |

Holy shit, not to say that this was unexpected for me and I really don't see why other people in the community find this unlikely. But god dammit this is literally the worst news that could come out about bitcoin at this moment.
It isn't even the first time ISIS is linked to bitcoin, terrorists have started realizing how suitable bitcoin is for their activities... And the sad thing is that this would be extremely hard to solve, perhaps even impossible under the current standards.

We will probably see $500 in 2016 (due to halving), but the important thing is it will drop down to $250 and will stay there the rest of the year. If you haven't learned anything about bitcoins, it is that it LOSES value CONTINUOUSLY.

Bitcoin Price Drops to $315 As Experts Talk About Ponzi Schemes
It hasn’t been long since bitcoin enthusiasts were happy to see the price reaching its peak of $500 in such international exchanges as OKCoin, BTCC, BitFinex and Bitstamp. However the success turned out to be unstable [lol -ed].
Bitcoin price began to drop to $315 this morning which means practically a 30% decline.

Be A Part Of New Zealand's Bitcoin Dragnet
New Zealand Police is investigating a threatening email from Bitcoin enthusiasts claiming to be the terrorist hackers Syrian Electronic Army (SEA). The bit-coin criminals warn that unless the recipient pays $1,500 in bitcoin, the files in their computer will be lost, someone in their family will be killed and their house will be destroyed by fire.
"I would suggest it's probably some form of a scam," said the Auckland Police District Command Centre' Senior Sergeant Scott Rees, "just like pretty much everything about bit-coin." Nonetheless, New Zealand's Jackbooted Thugs are advising New Zealanders to be on the lookout for bitcoin crooks, and even set up a special email address, [email protected], where you could anonymously snitch on your bitcoin buddies.

ProtonMail, a bitcoin-accepting encrypted email service, coughed up $6000 in bit-coins to stop Bit-coin extortionists' DDoS attack, but DDoS carries on anyway, lol.
Quote from: http://www.zdnet.com/article/protonmail-coughs-up-6000-to-stop-ddos-attack-ddos-carries-on-anyway/
In an attempt to stop the DDoS onslaught and due to "pressure by third parties," ProtonMail "grudgingly" agreed to pay the cyberattacker's $6000 ransom to "spare the other companies impacted by the attack." Nevertheless, the attack continued even after the Bitcoin-based ransom was handed over.
