We can take a look about Bitcoin & Terrorism at the other pov, not only real terrorism, - there is other, fast growing terrorism - underground markets, like tor network(silkroad), where btc is main currency and you can buy almost everything. I think BTC is good but also it really not help goverments to fight against drugs/contrabanda
Why does any government need to fight against what people choose to put in their own bodies? To make drug barons rich? To justify massive incarceration?
The value of the total amount of Bitcoin in present circulation has probably already been given by the US, in nice straightforward dollars through Saudi Arabia and nice straight guns, just to support the Al-Qaeda factions in Syria.
Silk road (a tiny market website that has to hide A LOT better than a standard dollar based drug-dealer) has a strict policy against guns. Snotty countries like USA, France, UK, Sweden* sell tons of guns, in FIAT, to unstable regions of the world, many of them hand held items that are scarily easy to use in trivial mass death terror attacks...
Go spread FUD to a dumber, more ignorant, audience.

*These annoy me because of their unjustifiable snottiness but for fairness this is the present top10 for weapon exports (note that it's in absolute terms, not per capita):
USA
Russia
Germany
France
China
Turkey
UK
Italy
Israel
Sweden
Ukraine
Just google it if in doubt.
What is sad is that we make weapon because other countries buy it.
They buy it because they need to protect themselves.
They need to protect because we sell weapons to their neighbours.
Where is it going ?
