Topic: Will bitcoin be used to support terrorists? - page 8. (Read 140883 times)
Terrorist are also closely watching new technologies that could help them in their activities and Bitcoin was ideal because of the anonimity and it was hard to determine the source of funding. I think bitcoin is not the reason behind, something like this, the real culprit would be the person itself he can surely done anything with his bitcoin.
Sadly ya I do agree people could use Bitcoins for shady purposes, but that's very small amount of people not all do. These are kind of people get the Bitcoin community the bad name.The news that they get is usually from some dude who didn't even research what Bitcoin was about and just decided to banter on the subject in a negative matter.
On March 8th, Cheollima Civil Defense(CCD) released a video on its website claiming:” Han Sol, the son of Kim Jong Nam, and two other family members were met quickly and relocated to safety. “ And they receive bitcoin for financial support. http://news.8btc.com/bitcoin-plays-a-role-in-humanitarian-assistance This is something nice to do. But what if bitcoin be used to support some bad organizations, even terrorists? Is this already happening? What i am worrying is if bitcoin be widely used for bad things, negative news would be all over and bitcoin price will drop. It will lead to tougher regulation. Do u think world leaders are willing to kill btc to make sure they can fight terrirists?
Your idea about the willingness of these world leaders to kill btc to make sure they can fight terrorists really sucks!
If they really wanted to fight these terrorism, they will probably start this in targeting those financiers which supports these terrorists.
With regards to your idea if bitcoin can use in negative way, it is surely possible and is happening even before in darkweb. Actually, not only Bitcoin can use in negative way but every currency also. It really dependent on the person who controls it.
and stop arguing about negative news will result to price drop, it really sucks!
I think bitcoin might be the best way to buy by something in black market because its untraceable and very safe to transact how much more in terrorist where always do illegal jobs all of there lives... The terrorist would be very happy on having a bitcoin but if the bitcoin price is unpredictable then theres still possibility that they will not use bitcoin.
As Bill Gate has said, Bitcoin is the precursor to the work of selling drugs and raising criminals. Correctly, criminals are essentially providing each other with Bitcoin and altcoin, because crypto market accounts are anonymous, and they can be freely exchanged without any government control. So we can say Bitcoin a lot of support for criminals.
Of course, the crypto currency will be used by criminals to commit crimes. Nobody denies this. They always use advanced technology for this. Well, what of it? Any money is used by criminals, but still nobody tried to prohibit because of this money.
Yeah, criptocurrency will be widely used for criminals. However, US dollar is also widely used for this pupropse. So I don't see any problem from this side - any currency could be used for criminals
Bitcoin can be used by anyone and for anything. I'm afraid that's the sad part. It's really unpredictable what Bitcoin can be used for. Let karma deal with the rest.

Though most of us already knew the answer to this question let me just share my thoughts on this...
Actually, There's no stopping if evil doers use bitcoin to support terrorists, same as how we are using bitcoin for our personal gains, since bitcoin is decentralized, which is open to anyone and very difficult to be traced which would be convenient for them to make transactions, so it is not impossible. One good thing about that is if more of them use bitcoin it would contribute to the increase of its value. However if there's a widespread news that bitcoin were widely used for illegal transactions, of course, it would negatively affect not only bitcoin but all of us, and I am not sure as to what would be the actions that the government would take in order to stop them (terrorists) from using bitcoin that might greatly affect as all.

Even if the thing is good bad person will used it in bad. There are many positive characteristic of bitcoin but if the user use it in bad, we cannot blame bitcoin. A good example is bank. Bank is good but becomes bad when used by criminals and corrupt politician. If's that the case, will the government stop the bank? Same in bitcoin if it used in bad the person should be punished not the bitcoin itself because it is made to help. 
Of course, the crypto currency will be used by criminals to commit crimes. Nobody denies this. They always use advanced technology for this. Well, what of it? Any money is used by criminals, but still nobody tried to prohibit because of this money.
this will not make bad bitcoin popularity, apart from that everyone's freedom to use the bitcoin is the same and you can not refuse it because bitcoin users are from all over the world. that's what the negative effect of bitcoin is. but you do not see with one eye impact the positive too much.
Bieng terrorist in country is a bad influence to the civilians it may cause a protest to the goverment. The goverment will find a way to stop the bitcoin because it is the reason why some terrorist have a strong believe and supported by some people by using bitcoin it can affect for the others has a good intention in bitcoin.
I really think,that such big price of bitcoin because of terrorists who use it for their bad business!
Crypto-currency and, in fact, bitcoin do not participate in the maintenance of terrorists. People are involved in this, and for them it does not matter how to support terrorists.
Bitcoin are used as a stored value and peer to peer payment. Anyone can use Bitcoin, not to say lawyers or terrorists.
Of course Bitcoin can be used for all sorts of criminal activities. Being decentralized makes it even more attractive for people planning criminal activities. But that's no reason to blame on Bitcoin. If criminals or terrorists use US dollars, no one blames the dollar for that. You don't ask: will the euro or the dollar be used to support terrorists.
I dont think what terrorist accept bitcoins for their work, only hardcore only usd.
Using btc for making money for terrorist its can be, but you can sell ice cream also for supporting terrorists
Exactly nothing is having any connecting to the terrorism as it is the main and internal problem of people and the government but bitcoin does not have any connection with then, as it can be use by a lot of people for good and bad, bitcoin is a currency that people use for good of the society as it has improved the economical state of the country and it is providing jobs for those who are not having any job at this moment so in short I want to say bitcoin can be use by everyone is it is an independent currency and it made our life so good it does not have any concern with terrarium. Using btc for making money for terrorist its can be, but you can sell ice cream also for supporting terrorists
If this has already happened or will happen I can not know. How much I understand how bitcoin works I think is the easiest way to fund terrorism.

Money are used to support terrorism anyway, so Crypto or Bitcoin wouldn't have anything new to add into this.
Crypto is decentralized for both bad people and good people. It's the way things work.
I never hear of that news, if you have read the news so that is really happening. It seems the NK is using the bitcoin in its early stage. But even the world leaders knew that they are being used by terrorist, they have no capability to stop it, that is why most country who ban bitcoin fail; Because people could just move to other country or use VPN, you are then once again ready to be in to the crypto world.
