It’s good news that they were caught, but I hate seeing news like this that has something to do with Bitcoin. Maybe some people will not understand it, but this is a very bad news for Bitcoin. If there continues to be news like this, the government might be prompted to start declaring Bitcoin illegal and you know what that means for cryptocurrency market.
Bitcoin is a good technology, but some people are hell-bent on destroying everything by misusing it for the wrong purposes. I’m always happy when these evil people are caught by the government and punished for their crimes, but at the same time I am sad that they are using Bitcoin for all these crimes.
I'm with the stance that it doesn't have anything to do with Bitcoin. It just so happens that the terrorist group used Bitcoin like any other currency. Its like saying that terrorism is everything to do with guns, when its not. There's perfectly valid reasons to own a gun, although I tend to side against guns in the majority of circumstances coming from the UK, and seeing the issues that they cause, but I acknowledge the right for those in America to own a gun, but just because terrorists use guns, doesn't mean its to do with guns, and the same for Bitcoin. There's probably a better comparison out there to be made, but I don't see why Bitcoin is pinpointed here, when the real news headline is that terrorism still exists in 2020.
