Well terrorists, drug dealing and other bad activities are performed using fiat currencies for centuries. So we cant say paper currency is bad. Like wise dark web is just one usage of crypto, there are many positive uses of crypto also. So we cant rule BTC as bad just because it has one bad use.
We should think that way. It's not because crypto being used for some illegal things means that it's already a tool for this kind of stuff. There's also other venues to actively use crypto currency. Don't conclude but accept the fact that since crypto is also being considered as currency then everyone who understand it will use it as a means of payment transactions.

Don't think about it because it's definitely widespread.
Terrorists need to be careful not to find out who they are and as a result of using crypto they can avoid government regulation of the legal transaction where your name and ID (KYC) are needed.
So I'm sure they are already using it to evade the authorities and to outrun their transactions. Examples of this are the purchase of Drugs, Weapons and much more.

I think that they use dollars much more often than cryptocurrencies.
I heard information from several pieces, that there are some terrorists who use crypto. for example, to buy illegal weapons in the dark web because there use crypto as a currency for transactions. and terrorism that uses crypto is one of the abuse of crypto in my opinion November 29, 2019, 10:30:54 AM
I believe yes because it's the best mode of payment for them which they could use easier and anonymously. We all know that criminals are hiding their identities so it will work well for them to use it. We're actually hearing news about it and we can say that it's one of crypto's anonymity disadvantage.
That's for sure, using crypto makes them more easier to transact illegal transactions so they will really use this, actually if you want to speak with people here in our country and ask them if they know what crypto means, they will tell you that this is what darkweb widely used, they don't know Bitcoin in a good way, what they know scammers widely using this online.

Considering that there are still many terrorist groups or insurgents groups around the world right now fighting with weapons that probably cost a lot. Do you guys think that they use cryptocurrencies in order to fund their armies or do they stick with trading with cash or trading valuable resources that they have?
I would not be surprised if they do trade with cryptocurrency considering that cryptocurrencies are really hard to trace compared to the conventional means of trading such as cash or valuable resources. Unless their funders don’t really accept cryptocurrency and they stick with the older methods of payment.
By the way, just to make it clear. I am not in any way planning to make a terrorist group or insurgency, I am just asking out of curiosity as I can see that those terrorist groups or insurgencies in the news must get their funding from somewhere and I was wondering what means do they use to trade for their equipment.

With its nature, which is anonymity, they have been reported that they do use Cryptocurrency to fund their terroristic acts and it was supported by documents, this is the reason why the government is strictly enforcing KYC, to exchanges, so they will know and tract if it is illegal on the funds being transacted, terrorist will always fund a way to move their funds, whether in fiat or Cryptocurrency, and so far with the implementation of KYC, these are all minimized.

If you have taken a look into what is sold on the dark markets you would be amazed with what is sold there, from all sorts of illegal stuff, from drugs to guns and even mercenaries, and with all of these things sold using bitcoin and other cryptos that are hard to track their destination and their source, there is no doubt that some terrorists and mafia are using it, as it provides the perfect shade for them, and this one of the controversies that is debated about the anonymity of the crypto.I would not be surprised if they do trade with cryptocurrency considering that cryptocurrencies are really hard to trace compared to the conventional means of trading such as cash or valuable resources.

i think organizations like this were not really updated on what is new when it comes to payment methods . they arent really considered as a criminal right ? so i dont think that they will care to much about thier privacy .
on our local region there are also terorist here but they dont harm people and they walk around freely , they can transact whatever they want . they only became cruel when it comes to war or if they are fighting with thier real enemy .

They don't hide their transactions really as they can freely talk to anyone unless they are in war which they will not be able to do any transactions. I don't think their using crypto for the war. As before they start the war they already prepared for it. In my country as terrorist lives in remote area Internet were poor so probably no bitcoin transactions happened.

it was reported that in 2018 there were still criminal groups or perhaps terrorists who were detected using crypto for financial resources. maybe this will make crypto feel misused. so maybe there must be certain actions to prevent crypto from being misused for criminal purposes
it's a bad impact from the abuse of crypto, and I don't think there's anything that can stop people from doing bad things. those who carry out transactions with bad intentions and there are people who provide goods for crime and pay with crypto. so it's hard to reduce abuse because it's back to the nature of the people who use it November 29, 2019, 04:16:22 AM
Politicians, terrorist and other illegal groups that has illegal doings uses cryptocurrency as mode of payment because we are anonymous here it is easy to transfer money and it is easy to divert those funds to cash out in different local cash out provider. Maybe this is one of many issue that should be resolve before adopting crypto.

In my country, I almost heard that a mafia group used bitcoin to sell drugs. And earlier, one of the most dangerous sects was buying animals through a site with bitcoin.
Generally, those people who don't want to be tracked are using bitcoin to buy illegal stuff. Sometimes if you're buying something personally, not digitally, then it's a risk for you because it will leave you pieces of evidence that will lead you to danger.
There are many groups that use this method, not only mafia. It's kinda weird to buy animals online? what kind of animals is that? endangered or reptiles?

Bitcoin was used in deep web as a currency in buying illegal things like drugs and guns, also if you are going to think about it,I would not be surprised if they do trade with cryptocurrency considering that cryptocurrencies are really hard to trace compared to the conventional means of trading such as cash or valuable resources.

it really does make sense since the bitcoin has anonymous transaction there is no way that the government could track your identity if you have a transaction in bitcoin and also where ever you are in the world you could use think bitcoin and easily make a transaction using it. I think this is a thing that the terrorist is taking advantage of, having this technology making it easy for them just like a terrorist group could do.

Why not, these terrorist use cryptocurrencies which are secured and private to make all their transactions which includes the purchase of unlawful weapons. They mostly use privacy coins and i think this is due to nature of such coins as compared to bitcoin. i doubt they know that they can also use mixers to hide bitcoin transactions as well.

In my own personal opinion, terrorist or other illegal groups also used cryptocurrency and bitcoin as a transaction when they are buying drugs, weapons, and so on. I also heard that terrorist and other illegal groups mostly make transactions on the dark web, so that they can buy and sell things anonymously, that is why other governments in other countries thinks that bitcoin is illegal.
