Will Its Involvement On ISIS Lead Bitcoin To Its Eventual Ban? http://bit.ly/1C0HIkH

Well, if matters go worse, maybe banning it is just harshest way to go. We live in a free country and banning bitcoin is not so 'democratic'

Maybe there will be stronger drives for bitcoin regulation.

Eventual ban? Not as I see it.

bitcoin has been related to use in crimes since its beginning but I don't see it is banned

Well, the reason why those were not banned because the government use them too. But does the government use Bitcoin?  ::)

Can you see it being regulated then?

You were so the know-it-all in high school.

You can ban Bitcoin, the question is can you enforce the ban, and that is where the answer is "no" seemingly. But you can go after users, so that works.

ISIS also accepts gold, so that would have to be banned too under OP's question's logic.

They also use the Internet and cell phones...

They also use.....

CASH!!!

I'm curious what would happen if bitcoin was used for counterterrorism. I mean, anyone who's read about this stuff knows there are a lot of people in western countries who openly preach jihad. Hell, in Britain and France they collect welfare checks, and everyone knows who they are and no one does shit about it. I read after those French attacks that the police knew about the attackers but there are too many jihadis in France to watch all of them.

What if there was something like that bitcoin bounty hunter site but targetting jihadis in the west. The press always goes apeshit calling people against jihad "racists" and trying to shut them up, so it's important for antijihadists to be anonymous. Well, plus there's the possibility of getting your fucking head cut off or burned alive.

Actually it's clear nothing can be done about today's jihad problem until the powers that be stop making people lie about "Islam being all about peace" and shit. Maybe the best thing would be to have a bitcoin bounty hunter program to go after the journalists who protect jihadis and lie about what they believe. You know, the kind of people who believe in diversity so much that they think it was beautiful sign of diversity in 630 when Mohammed invaded Mecca and destroyed all the other diverse religions because it brought about, um, unity.

Journalists are afraid to report the truth. They're even afraid to show those drawings. Maybe someone could use bitcoin and Tor and other tools to make them afraid to lie, to make them afraid not to show the drawings.

Eh, it's just a dream. Obviously isn't going to happen. The truth is that the people we currently call "terrorists" are going to win the future, because they're the only one's who want to. If they don't adopt bitcoin, then bitcoin doesn't have a bright future.

Well apparently in TOR there are some people trying to find a drone attack in North Korea or some crazy shit like that and they accept bitcoin. This is a form of counterterrorism (NK dictatorship is terrorism).

already is being regulated depends on country

It probably would be really good news for bitcoin if it was used to whack some of those top NK nuts. I can't imagine how much the price would fall.  ;D

The most used currency for drugs and terrorism is still (and will continue to be) the US dollar.

ISIS needs a  lot of alpaca socks !!

Indeed. It was in some sort of kickstarter page. I cant find it. I think its posted in the politics or offtopics here.

I don't think that the ISIS is serious about Bitcoin. Right now, they are using a number of alternative methods, which are less complex and involve less risk. For example, they are transferring money from Western nations to Syria and Iraq using Turkey as an intermediary. 

^This is very true. One of the alternatives is Monero. Terrorist are big into Monero right now.
Anyone who would deny this, is in fact, a terrorist themselves.  :)

I've heard that too. In fact, I heard ISIS gave that Jordanian hostage a choice: Use Monero or be burned alive.

He made the right choice.

Therefore the government are terrorists too.

(We live in a free country)  ;D :D :) ;D

Made me chuckle we live in a country where people believe they are free, there is a big difference.

How can bitcoins be banned dosent sound possible

Yeah.. "Legal" terrorist it seems.

Bitcoin makes an attractive medium to a terrorist...and there is no way it can be stopped.

The governments are always the worse terrorists and there's no bigger one than the United States gov, though UK and Israel are close behind.

Yes it can. Police will start selling weapons themselves to catch the people buying them. You always have to give an address where you want the stuff being bought so.

They do not need to ban the coin.

They should look for the terrorist and destroy them.

I heard a rumor that these terrorist scumbag lowlifes might be remnants of a dispersed "community" from the second iraq war.

mixed in with thos Aqweeda bastards AlQu'eda. those people must have nothing to do, plus they're evil.

Go eat a Goat!! terrorrist fuckheads!  or a bowl of ghost meat!!?                        ?  stay away from family friendly bitcoin(tm)...and stay away from my family and friends ???  and monkeycoin

These degenerates dont know how to do anything beyond shooting their shit tier ak 47's into everyone that isnt them.

A Ban is simply not possible. Its a global currency. Even if they are able to enforce restrictions, they will never be able to ban bitcoin totally.
The government might make it illegal in some countries, but that would nbever help eradicating it completely.

Well, i remember a post in a similar thread making a rough estimate on bitcoin's use percentage in terrorism compared to fiat. And, bitcoin only accounts for 1% of terrorist funding. Guess what's the other 99%? Yes, fiat. The way i see it, they might as well ban all currency and be done with terrorism which is stupid. Even if governments were to manage to find a reason to ban bitcoin, they wouldn't succeed. Bitcoin was built to be just that, decentralized.

Maybe the government is in this too. Trust no one.

banning bitcoins will stop terrorism ? there was not terrorism 6 years before ? terrorists use more things aswell ban them aswell 1st of all facebook

Is this the total amount that has been discovered? I think there are other transactions not being linked to it yet, but it will continue, no matter what currency are used.

5 Bitcoins sounds pathetic, but it's something people will try to use, to discredit Bitcoin.

As Ive said, Bitcoin is terrorist money.

So what , we are not going to blame Bitcoin , aren't we ?
Terrorists use drugs , weapons , gold , cash and a lot more . But none of them is banned . No one is going to ban Bitcoin (China maybe due to the nice scams that we hear always that worth millions of dollar) . Goverments can't agree on one thing ;) no worries

You cannot deny that ISIS and bitcoin topic is very interesting. 

That's the one of the reasons why Bitcoin won't die, Demand determines supply.

LOL!  ;D ;D ;D

The government use cash too!
