Interestingly enough, radical Muslims already accept bitcoin. Just last night I found a .onion page set up that supposedly belongs to a group that helps American Muslims. The associated address had received ~5 BTC. (Ref: https://blockchain.info/address/13Pcmh4dKJE8Aqrhq4ZZwmM1sbKFcMQEEV)

.onion link or didn't happen.
I hope he is bullshitting. Would hate to see big headlines relating ISIS with BTC ffs..

But it would drive more traffic to it. All news is news at the end of the day.

ISIS is planning to mint its own currency in gold, silver and copper, the group said Thursday.
Its aim is to stay away from the "tyrant's financial system," ISIS said in a statement. It said it would issue another statement to explain the new currency's exchange rate, and where it can be found.

Sounds like they are printing their own kind of FIAT. More scamcoin. I think this is a great opportunity to show them Bitcoin and get some users from the Middle East. The anonymity and low fees are sure to be a turn on. How can we spread the word and help Bitcoin go TO THE MOON!?

OP doesn't seem to understand what fiat money is. The CNN article said they planning to mint gold, silver and copper coins, what would be a commodity currency or at least a commodity based representative currency but not a govt blahblah backet fiat money.
I don't want to mention his moral and ethics as that doesn't exist. He isn't even good for a speculator as BTC value would freefall as soon as ISIS would accept it. Shortly, he must be a retard or a troll.

To ISIS bitcoin was created by infidels, they'd never use it...unless of course they were planning to lose the war for the end of the world (which is what they're fighting for.)

To the people that are so dilusional about everything, i doubt they care who created bitcoin, unless they would somehow bind it with US.
I dont care if they use bitcoin or not, but i hope they fail in their goals and be trialed for everything insane they did.

The coin would collapse in seconds since everyone hates ISIS and it would get destroyed by speculation hackers etc.

This sounds little awkward, they would never be able to get it anywhere and if they use bitcoin , it's good since police will be able to keep eye on them as obviously they won't be doing just some low transactions

I agree with you. It would most likely not be used by anyone else than them

ISIS don't need to be convinced to use Bitcoin, they need to get nuked.

Yeah lets ruin the reputation of Bitcoin even more by making some scum bags aware of it and use it to become untraceable and fun killing everyone who doesn't support them.

Holy shit the mentality of some people. Are you really that desperate for Bitcoin to gain attention?

There are 7 billion people in the world, potentially 1 million who live with or are part of this IS shit. Why do you so desperately want their support. How many people will support their currency?

Physical cash is freely flowing in to the ISIS held towns such as Mosul and Raqqa through the porous Turkish border. As long as that route exitsts, they won't even consider BTC.

Lol... you can't beat the media propaganda created by the bankers and their cronies. Get used to it. A majority of the people believe that Bitcoin is used only for the purchase of CP and hard drugs.  Huh

I expect the US and the rest of the West would dearly love to have ISIS adopt Bitcoin - it would make tracking their purchases incredibly easy.

I thought the ISIS was already using bitcoin. Whats the point of creating their own coin, it won't be added by any exchange.

I think you underestimate their commitment to their ideals. Yes, they are psychopaths because they believe in extermination. But they're not schizo, they have an awfully extreme interpretation of their religion. They absolutely would reject something based on who created it or what it symbolized.

To your point, they use cash (likely US dollars), so perhaps currency is just the means to their end.
