The yahoo article in the OP doesn't even mention Bitcoin.
In any case, if there is an example of Bitcoin being used by terrorists, the authorities should be happy. Bitcoin is much easier to trace than cash.

the guy arrested was converting starter pistols... not automatic guns secondly he was supposedly selling automatics to people in paris..... yet the paris terrorists lived in brussels, not paris. thirdly the police raided his house for other reasons and only 'believe' there might be a link, because AFTER raiding his house they found emails on his phone.. ... um darknet markets do not trade via email!!

It is not easy to find the link between the buyers and sellers of guns with bitcoin. So all this type of news are only spreaded to bring the bitcoin price down and to force government to banned bitcoin like cryptocurrencies.

No way, i think all "armories" in the deep web are a scam.
I agree . All the things in darkweb about scam. There is no proof.

there is no proof they bought those AKs using bitcoin I bet they bought it using fiat If they bought it using bitcoin we would see a really huge transactions few days before the attacks and we would notice it in blockchain right away

There are, so far, in every block the "huge transactions"! open the block chain.info homepage… see with your eyes. in what sense "we would be notice"?

You can't exaggerate a news just because it's related to Bitcoin! Bitcoin is the victim, someone use it for crime (just like fiat money).

just because some people decided to buy guns from the dark web doesnt necessarily mean they were bought using bitcoin. bitcoin is actually not that anonymous and if they find one address they find all of them. Bitcoin doesnt deserve a bad name because of what happened. it wasnt bitcoins fault

I'm pretty sure all this "news" about bitcoin being used in the attacks are mostly unsubstantiated.
Has anyone actually seen any hard evidence linking the usage of bitcoin in large scale terrorism? Although, on the flip side, I guess they probably wouldn't publish too much of the evidence to the public when active investigations are ongoing.
Still, I think most of this is just people imagining it being used.

there are always huge transactions made throughout the day. these weapons could be bought months before the actual attack. what you say doesn't make sense at all. these weapons could be bought with anything. gold, silver, traded for a car or something else with value. bitcoin receive the blame again. let them prove it first.

Yes, bought with BTC. Because you can buy illegal stuff with BTC only.
the seller accused in this situation did in fact only accept bitcoin

Every time the Dark Web is mentioned, people immediately accept that Bitcoin was associated with it, they would not have used stolen credit cards or hacked PayPal accounts...
No No No.... it has to be Bitcoin. So if these guys, went there and they did odd jobs for cash and they used that cash to buy knifes and they stabbed people to death... would
they have made accusations against cash or the store where it was bought? Guess not... It's just that Bitcoin is special.

No gun illegal gun merchant would accept stolen credit cards or hacked Paypal accounts. And they've already arrested the illegal gun merchant. And terrorists would most likely not use a regular gun shot. Because, you know, they're terrorists.

Yes, exactly. I wonder if we ban BTC completely there will be no more illegal weapons, drugs, and black markets and terrorism will be gone. Oh, wait. It won't be gone, because evil doers will always find a way! That is why it is completely wrong to blame: BTC, FIAT or other currencies for it. Lets talk for a moment: how terrorists are financed exactly? Money and BTC are magically appearing in their wallets? No. Someone is giving them money. And without fixing that problem first, there won't be end of a terror, ever.
