This story has already been posted. It can not be blamed on bitcoin, if you want to blame somebody blame the US gun culture. As for journalists blaming this on bitcoin it's ridiculous, US kids have been buying guns and shooting up schools & colleges for decades. With reference to the story in the OP the kid could have bought weapons with USD. Hilarious they try to paint bitcoin in this light. Let's compare all the shootings in the US & draw up a graph of how many of the shooters used bitcoin to buy their weapons & how many used fiat to buy their weapons People have been buying guns, drugs, prostitutes for centuries with fiat

This happened in the UK. It's hard to answer that question, but I also know what he means. This is a strange statement that perhaps only the older generation from the UK will understand now, but mass suicide killing was just never a very British crime. This was probably more due to gun restriction and of course, a much smaller population... but it definitely seems that it wasn't something even a nutter from our culture/country was ever likely to do. Has happened though, but he did a 'Rambo' was how we referred to it as. We just liked to think that even our criminals weren't that ridiculous and cowardly. Kill yourself, fine (this is not a suggestion, by the way) but don't kill other people because your going through teenage angst and the most popular girl in school won't sleep with you. The UK is now also saturated with US media and it definitely has a heavy influence on UK culture, rightly or wrongly.

" Lyburd, 19, is accused of spending months building up his haul, which also included dozens of expanding ‘dum dum’ bullets, CS gas and a collection of knives. " and " He is said to have used the digital currency Bitcoin to buy a 9mm Luger Calibre Glock gun on the ‘dark web’ "
So he bought other weapons with fiat or cards and a 9mm with Bitcoin? They just have to single out Bitcoin. ^wtf^ If people buy food with Bitcoin and it creates a fart, will Bitcoin be blamed for Air pollution too? The media just have a way with words to make something out of nothing.

Just another case of the media attempting to paint a red flag on Bitcoin because it threatens their livelihood.

Unless he was planning to shoot little Casascius coins via discus launcher and leave a trail of explosive paper wallets, I don't have time to read this bullshit.

Anybody can get a gun in the UK. Sure we have tight gun controls but there's been numerous incidents over the years of gun crime & people getting shot etc. A number of years ago we had riots in some of our major cities & teens were shooting at (& missing) a police helicopter. I think when the want is there people can get their hands on anything they want.

It's hard to find out, he's used deepweb, he's used TOR right.

Misleading title. How do you perform a Massacre with math or crypto?
Currencies that cannot purchase blackmarket/grey market items and services lack fungibility and are akin to coupons or gift certificates.

Theoretically speaking, it happened many times before with math (and it will happen many times again). Ever heard of Wall Street?
