US Military to food USD as possible terrorist threat
I could not say it in any better words.
Anything that can not be controlled by the US Government, or should I word it better by saying "can not be controlled by THE BIG BANKS/ WALLSTREET" is considered a terrorist and a threat. Case and point!!!

The military doesn't do any thinking...they do what they are told. Who tells them what to do you may ask? Follow the mostly worthless paper-trail. Orders are handed down by government, government is owned by private central bankers...nuff said
The government actually has influence over the central bankers.
Central banks should be independent but congress/the president could easily put influence on them.

And, by the way, preventing money laundering is one of the easiest and most effective ways of reducing terrorism.
Only if you use intellectually dishonest definitions of "terrorism".The terrorist organization which has harmed more innocent people than any other currently-existing organization in the world is the US DoD.
I would not agree with your statement, however the DoD does use a large amount of money every year. They get their funding from the US government.
A terrorist organization needs to be able to fund themselves
OK since I can already tell we probably won't find common ground, let's just use drug traffickers as a stand-in in the example.
Well, ok, but the difference between the CIA and the military is really splitting hairs. And, by the way, preventing money laundering is one of the easiest and most effective ways of reducing terrorism.

If you are a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
I have somehow never heard that before...pretty funny.
Why Does the US Military Think Bitcoin Is a Terrorist Threat?
I'm not convinced they actually do consider BTC a legit Terrorist threat.
Almost anything that radically enhances personal freedom is eventually the target of propaganda. (i.e. The Internet, local militias, etc)
It's sure true though!
I don't think they really think that, they are just using the propaganda because all the negative PR they produced by claiming BTC was a safe haven for money laundering and buying drugs, was not that successful in squashing BTC.
They probably feel it is a slight threat because of how quickly and seamlessly you can move funds around the world to fund literally anything in an instant.

Ya think? No way. Say it ain't so Joe!

Yes, the No Such Agency laid all the groundwork out for the very foundation of Bitcoin over the last two decades. Go ahead. Do your due diligence. It's all there. Plenty to fest your bright, wide open eyes over.

And who exactly leads that Outfit? Yep, the Military. Officially or not their the likely ones. Get over it.

You guys and dolls haven't yet figured out that all of this is only about government control, have you?

It's possible that it could be used by terrorists to transfer value around. But honestly at this point I highly doubt it, and I would expect most groups to have some sort of network between countries where they can exchange money. I know there is a massive non-terror related network for transferring money throughout the muslim world already.
You're thinking of something called a hawala network, and those are (probably) way more closely monitored by US intel than BTC currently is. I definitely understand why people are upset the US military is monitoring BTC, but at least it's really nothing more than par for the course. It doesn't seem like they have anything against BTC in particular, just kind of the idea of something unmonitored that can be used to launder money. And, by the way, preventing money laundering is one of the easiest and most effective ways of reducing terrorism. Just saying.

It doesn't. It's not.
Pure FUD.
Bitcoin is Freedom.

Some people will inevitably use Bitcoins for naughty things but it is much the same with cash.
I man it is so much worse with cash if you ask me. I've come to understand that cash is much more superior way to launder money and bitcoin and I don't know any local criminals and drug dealers that accept cash. In my opinion cash is what the terrorists prefer over Bitcoins anyway.
Why doesn't OP call Ryan Fisher and ask him
