Not sure what to make of this.
I understand the point he was making (see coin desk article) but think that what he did or attempted to do does not justify it.
BTC has a mixed picture in the outside world. This only portrays it worse not to mention the effect that supporting terrorists can have!

What do you think?

I think he shouldn't be able to and it is good that it was blocked!  It is a fast track to getting a service shut down, funding terrorism!
I'm not a huge fan of the whole tipping idea as a whole, but this kind of thing just adds to the negative press around bitcoin.

Well, because the Jews love their currency (USD) and hate Muslims (but of course do business with them)

What has that got to do with anything? I'm not sure who you're calling Jewish or Muslim here and why always with the bringing of religion into things.

Yeah, I think "freedom" is good, but there has to be a limit. I don't agree with funding terrorism or dealing drugs, though many crypo-enthusiasts seem to think that people should have unlimited freedom to do whatever they want, which is unfortunate.

Dunno, it worked fine for me after awhile but there was definitely something wrong with the link at first Tongue lmao I spot things fast sometimes, oh and this kind of reactionary shutting down of accounts is precisely why people should stick with cryptocurrencies.

Even if it's a joke it was a stupid idea. He agreed to Changetip's T&Cs when he signed up.

Supporters of ISIS will get their funds to those fucks in anyway possible - cash, bitcoin, arms, food, hostages, credit, euros, yen, yuang...

This guy Bryce is a terrorist supporter, there's not room for sarcasm or irony in moves like that.

Im reading this for the third damn time and still cant understand what was really his motive to do such a thing ?
Its an as**ole move in a way, but he also pointed to a very important issue of misuse of the service itself, so did he do more good than bad
really depends on what his original intention was, and i cant grasp to what it may be. A joke? Pointing at service misuse? Trying to damage company?

cheers

watch that attempted $1 cost him thousands in legal fees when the US Govt decides to prosecute them on the grounds
of conspiracy aiding and abetting a terrorist organization.
