Bitcoin - one of the Terrorists Funding Sources

[ausbit]

I think there is a possibility but really hope its not,

because bitcoin main idea is to be make us easy to do transaction  globally, not to harm anybody

Bitcoins are not the terrorists funding sources, terrorist does not have brain to think too much on any digital or in cryptocurrency. They just know how to kill people who lives happily.

I think it's definitely possible, but that's one of the downsides to bitcoin, you can't have all positives.
if you want freedom of currency with something like bitcoin, that counts for everyone, good or bad

They had better do away with cash then too because terrorists use cash.  They would really use anything that would work.  It is not as if they are seeking out Bitcoin over others.

exactly, there is not a single monetary unit, you can't abuse in one way or another

I don't think there is a real relationship between bitcoin, and crypto currencies generally, and terrorism funding. The criminals and terrorists used fiat for their transactions between the bitcoin's creation and they still fiat and other currencies

[LinaMay]

It's kind of obvious to say terrorists can use Bitcoin, but so what? It doesn't matter. People use Canadian dollars to do terroristic things too.

I remember a report being published somewhere about the main currencies used by terrorists for money laundering. If I remember correctly, US dollar is TOP and Bitcoin is quite a distance away. Perhaps Bitcoin is not popular enough to be used for money laundering or they have many other ways

[Dacarte]

Yes that's why all the countries are announced as the high alert.

[EdenHazard]

With the recent attack in Paris, many questioned 'again' where the hell those terrorist got their funds. Hidden agenda or secret talks? Some people already know the hidden truth about it* and bitcoin already part of their sources.

Basically, because bitcoin transaction is as light as feather, it's really making hard to be accepted worldwide.

What can you say about this?

dont believe what media show about bitcoin,they not always true,and some people believe terrorist use another funds,maybe they have own funds,and some post on this forum also mentioning western union as terrorist funds.

[BTCBinary]

Bitcoin can even be one of the sources of funding for many terrorist groups, but I can assure you that the primary source of their funding is not Bitcoin. Fiat, Fiat is the main source of funding for terrorist groups, and that is more than proved.

[phreaky]

Ofcourse that is logic. If you use Bitcoin and pay with it, you cant control what he bought or sell. And that is really dangerous.
It is also very dangerous that it will be going more worth later so that is not good for them, but we will see what is going to happen.
