Wish we could somehow do away with needing to have an interface with fiat. We have a long way to go before we can totally pay for everything with cryptocurrencies, rather than have to convert to fiat. Atomic swaps will definitely be a step in the right direction, although we still will not be able to atomic swap with fiat.

If bitcoins are being used to fund ISIS I might as well just sell it all and give all of the money to the US government.

You can also move cash in a bag.

Thinking of ISIS, this just in:

Before becoming a significant leader in ISIS, Abu Omar al-Shishani had been in the Georgian military and was trained by the US.
