This looks to me like one of those "fake news" that the mainstream media is spreading more and more often. If this had happened, how would they find out? ISIS already has (or had) so much money that it makes ridiculous that they would need to receive it from a woman in USA. And how would they then change the Bitcoin? On localbitcoins in Palmira? Or in the Iraqi desert? Come on...

I am curious about whether the woman's behavior is purely personal or organized.

I don't care what any of you hooligans say about the government, but ISIS is on another level of evil and misguidance.

Most anti government regimes that succeed are almost always WORSE than the government they overthrew.

hopefully this is just information that does not affect the sale value buy bitcoin, i was too bored if bitcoin is linked with crime. there are still many positive values for life. Let's try to create a bitcoin community that focuses on charity. the world is old, multiply the goodness of the ugliness.

But that is one thing that is causing the problem with cryptocurrency is that it can be sent to a whole lot of people or sellers with privacy and almost instantly and this is something that some governments and major countries worldwide are worrying about. Which is the unregulated use in which it can be put to heinous shemes and evil plans that can be a real trouble for them to fix and oversee

Well I think this is just part of the many "risks" that crypto currency has to offer. Since we are not yet regulated especially for most countries, there is a high risk that this can be used not just in funding terrorism but all sorts of evil deeds. Like drugs, money laundering or scam.
Lets just hope that this wont cause FUD in the market moving forward.

Bitcoin is maybe always used in illegal transactions and that is for sure.
When decentralization is made possible, more crime is too.
More or less we can't do so much about it.
The thing is, maybe that is the reason why government is aiming to  be in the system. Not just to control it I guess. Taxes are good as long we know where it is going.

The lady got busted because she use it in a wrong way.

How does one use Bitcoin in the wrong way? It's just her ignorance having resulted in her being busted. If you think something is anonymous, while in reality it isn't, you as person are stupid for not understanding the tool that you are using. People for once need to put aside their "Bitcoin is an anonymous" digital currency believe, which is something the mainstream media is also contributing to with their criminals are using Bitcoin because it offers them anonymity nonsense. It's straight BS. If you want to send crypto value from one person to another, use decentralized exchanges to buy a privacy centric coin, and then have that coin be sent to its destination....

I wonder how people get busted for using Bitcoin when it is supposed to have anonymity? Anyway, still good that a supporter was busted!

Bitcoin is not anonymous. It is pseudonymous.

All transactions are public and can be viewed in the blockchain explorer. Your bitcoin address is your pseudonym - but if someone is able to establish that you own that address, they can track everything you do.

I think the FBI testified to Congress a few years ago that bitcoin was easier to track than cash.

The lady got busted because she use it in a wrong way. For me Bitcoin is not illegal if you earn and use it in a good and legal way. Though even if she send real money to ISIS she will still get busted as well. ISIS are a dangerous sect, so government will surely monitor every transactions connecting to ISIS and surely get busted.

Government terrorism is important for the enslavement of the world
Now people can be strip searched before getting onto a plane because of the fake terrorist threat
Now people can not move money how they want because the CIA has created terrorism
Now people can be arrested without cause because of their fake terrorism threats

One of the reason is anonymity, why governments of some countries doesn't legalizes cryptocurrency.
Governments concerns are terrorist funding and money laundering with bitcoin due to the nature of its anonymity. We all know this!

After this incident governments got a proven reason for not to legalize cryptocurrency. I am not talking about all the countries, at least some of them or maybe all of them  Roll Eyes

Few days ago I've seen in McAfee's twitter profile that a Nigerian terrorist group tried to raise fund through ICO.  Angry

More restrictions are yet to come for crypto world from all over the world.

You can still be traced on the blockchain for transacting in Bitcoin despite your address offering you some form of anonimity. The transactions, both those that happened in the past and present, are recorded in the public ledger (blockchain) and shared for everyone to see. Once bitcoin transactions are linked to your IP, it is only a matter of time before you get busted by detectives.

Even more advanced form of covering one's track using a mixing service have been known to fail. If one is not involved in any shady deal, I do not see any reason why I should worry much.

It's really annoying to hear such news because this type of news is always trying to attack the reputation of Bitcoin indirectly. I know that these days Bitcoin is being used by terrorists and other organizations due to its privacy and nature, but unfortunately those who get trapped into such kind of stuff are illiterate and non-technical.

I feel bad for her because I think that her burst was planned to affect the reputation of Bitcoin, and she unfortunately became prey to that plan. I am really not sure about the exact story of that woman, but still what happened to her was horrible. And, it is somewhat an alarming news for those using Bitcoins for such activities. They should be stop all of their terrorism related activities, and should not use Bitcoin for any of their destructive intentions.

Bitcoin should be used for good activities only and those who think that Bitcoin is anonymous and untraceable are illiterates because they don't read enough and aren't into research at all. People should get proper knowledge about something before adding that thing into their lives.

I believe that the crypto community should support the fight against any terrorism, drug trafficking, slave trade and other crimes.  Criminals should not have a chance to hide using crypto currency.

two things:
either this is a government oriented attack against bitcoin by spreading some bullshit news about some random incident and making the bitcoin part of it bold.
or there was really such an idiot to do this with bitcoin and not with the real currency that has been used for years to fund terrorists: US dollar. which is not only easy to obtain but also easy to spend and also impossible to track.
whereas bitcoin is hard to obtain, extremely hard to spend and easy to track.

This is a message to everyone that never think too much of the anonymity and because of that thinks that you can do anything you want. For them to have busted her means she must have been under surveillance for a long time and they have been watching her every move to the point of her making a donation. Now that they have caught her, she only succeeded in giving btc a more bad name. And to everyone, planning same thing, you don't know who is watching.

I completely support your statement here. Because of these reasons bitcoin is getting a bad name in the global market. It is being widely used for money laundering and terrorism financing and that is what every governments want to curb down. These are strong points basis which a government can ban bitcoin and we have nothing to counter them. We are normal people who are trying to earn some bitcoins to live a decent life but these animals are making it harder for us.
