German Government Tracks Bitcoin Transactions To Prevent Terrorism Financing
Germany wants to take cryptocurrency under government control. On January 2, the Christian Social Union (CSU) presented a document which offers several solutions to combat terrorism. According to Die Welt, one such solution includes taking transactions of virtual currencies such as Bitcoin under control. Such a measure is aimed at preventing terrorism financing,  a problem that stands sharp especially after the Munich terror alert.

"However, users of existing cryptocurrencies need not be afraid the government would make them less anonymous. They can create new currency for their purpose but they can’t thrust their changes upon existing ones. "

So we are safe.
