The anonymity of Bitcoin has made it into a major business for North Korea to do Bitcoin mining.

Every buyer and user of Bitcoin is therefore helping to pay for North Korea's nuclear weapons

If you have Bitcoin, look at yourself and ask whether you are OK with giving North Korea nuclear weapons

The most important part is in bold. This 'Maybe' dissapeared in your title, because you are a Anti Bitcoin FUDster.
Btw. North Korea already has nuclear weapons (most likely not earned by Bitcoin mining), just like many other countries, like USA, China, Russia, France, Pakistan, India etc.

So, you don't have Bitcoins and you don't like them. What are you doing here in a Bitcoin forum anyway?

Bitcoin is not a bubble, it's the pin!

Them= All of the countries with WOMD = No. None of them should have them, but they do and Bitcoin is not going to change that.

Bitcoin is changing it for North Korea. They need to continue funding their program, and the anonymity of Bitcoin ensures they can do just that

I don't mind if NK would help to sustain the Bitcoin Network. Better than, like what they're actually doing: Using FIAT made from drugs they produce and sell worldwide.

Wow, so you are actually in favor of offering North Korea viable funding for more nuclear weapons.

I wonder what people in this forum from neighbouring countries are thinking about this, as they might well end of being hit by Kim Jung-Uns nuclear weapons

OK freightjoe. Noone here is taking your bs serious. Answer my question: what are you doing here at a Bitcoin forum, if you don't like Bitcoin?

The topic is hilarious. Do you believe that a pennies on the return on the mining equipment investment will make North Korea build nuclear weapon? Actually it is better to (even if it is a government) invest in a long term investement rather than a short term weaponry? Does it?

Or maybe an OP thinks that North Korea can not invest into anything and they have to be super poor in order for them to not have additional nuclear weapon.

Most of the North Korea weaponry is either a soviet junk, or it is proven to be the western weaponry. Stop selling or giving them weapons if you are worried about them.

Again US government started play with their fake face I think. When there is some countries aganist them they always utilize this stretegy and blame completely they are wrong.


Since they are the leader of world they are taking this as advantage doing this all the time.
More over you may find the more information in the political and society section not here.
Bitcoin can be utlize anything for that you cannot blame the issue on bitcoin. It is the issue of the user.

Do you deny, that NK is using FIAT to finance their NW?

Wow,

Serously the anonymity of bitcoin has made it possible for many people to do illegal transactions everywhere. So bad!

Regardin North Korea specifically, they would have find a way to fund their weapons anyway. Bitcoin users and miners are not responsible for the actions of other users. When you pay taxes in a country, you may disagree with your government funding wars abroad or selling weapon. But you do not have a choice. You cannot be hold responsible for such things!

No. First, yesterday you have given a more or less correct definition of communism. Is North Korea a stateless and moneyless society? Second, all mentions of communism were excluded from NK constitution in 2009.
