[Coinbuddy]

In recent Paris attack The Anti-terrorism group of ethical hackers, Ghost Security Group (GSG), said that ISIS regularly uses cryptocurrencies to fund its terrorist operations and they have have found a BTC address associated with them and found that they have worth 3 million bitcoin in there account!
That's really disgusting!

They haven't show us yet any solid proof about this
But then, i think there's nothing wrong with BTC used as illegal stuff
You know, way back before Bitcoin exist this kind of group of terrorist already using Gold,Fiat, any sort of currency for their transactions
Bitcoin is not the culprit in here, anything can be illegal if it was used in the wrong way
The only thing i worried about this is that people would be scared of using bitcoin and thus not making bitcoin mainstream

Also giving bad repo to Bitcoin and discouraging other people.
If they have any proof they should take an action against that Bitcoin account!

They have many more millions in dollars... of course tho Bitcoin is going to be used by the bad guys too, but guess what the internet gets used by the bad guys too. Innovation will always be used for good or bad just like everything else.

Even if it's true information, i don't think it will affect Bitcoin, because fiat is used as well by terrorists before the creation of this cryptocurrency and this don't affect fiat, people can using the money (fiat or cryptocurrencies) for legal or illegal purposes

[error08]

Maybe yes maybe no. as we know it today bitcoin is very often used illegally, and therefore could ISIS use bitcoin to buy weapons or other equipment

[unamis76]

If someone says that these guys use Bitcoin, I believe in them... Just like it's a fantastic tool for regular people, it's also a fantastic tool for terrorist groups, unfortunately. But I'd definitely like to see those addresses and proof to who they belong.

[NewInCryptoCurrency]

Maybe they use Bitcoin but I hope not.

Well people say they use because with bitcoin you can buy illegal stuff that is why.

[maokoto]

It is very likely that they are using it. They prize to be able to move around any country by infiltration of yihadist among normal citizens, so How come they would not use a kind of money you can transfer from a country to another with almost no fees, without banks intermediation and with no question asked? The logical thing to think is they are using it.

There is a lot of site on the Darkweb that permit you to fund islamic terrorism, so this don't surprise me a lot. Some of them might be fraudulent but I'm afraid that some might also be legit ...

[Bitcoinpro]

Ignore this sht they r trading n making money of exchanges isnt that the reason for most of these stories

[commandrix]

Does anybody know these guys' private keys? I imagine we could put some hurt on them if we exerted ourselves a little bit.

[Bifta]

Even if this is true, thats change nothing. For many years they used fiat currencies and nobody make problems. If they want they can pay in pokemon tokens..

[Amph]

the real question is, is this beneficial for bitcoin? yes? then who care let them use it

no? then ok they are probably going to use this for something small not going to impact the bitcoin scene to much, and btw this was not a recent news, it was said early this year already...

now we are at the stage of repeating the same fud, very nice...

And who knows behind the name of "islamic terrorism" there is something else. Because you know it is darknet. Noone knows the real truth.
Bitcoin was bad because of this shitty news.

Hello!!

Oil is main source or isis and al-qaida fundation. In here Finland theres program about it.
Bitcoin funding terrorism, that is bullshit.

[OmegaStarScream]

Yes , they are also using cars and planes and fiat and things that other people use but that doesn't mean anything . Does it ? the problem is the media who are trying (for one reason or another) to show people that Bitcoin is only for Blackhat hackers , Criminals and terrorists .

You have right. Only Banksters and Governments are affraid of Bitcoin and they produce media campaigns against Bitcoin. When Bitcoin will be stronger the attacks will be stronger. We have to get used to it

[Mickeyb]

Bitcoin is a free and decentralized software that can be used by everyone so it wouldn't surprise me that they are really using Bitcoin. If this would make their dirty endeavors easier and more efficient then they might be using it.

They are also using Internet and Internet makes their endeavors easier. I wonder should we then ban Internet as well. Fiat as well, etc..

[bob123]

I guess we'll never know 100% sure if they transfer money via Bitcoin or not..
