On March 8th, Cheollima Civil Defense(CCD) released a video on its website claiming:” Han Sol, the son of Kim Jong Nam, and two other family members were met quickly and relocated to safety. “ And they receive bitcoin for financial support. http://news.8btc.com/bitcoin-plays-a-role-in-humanitarian-assistance This is something nice to do. But what if bitcoin be used to support some bad organizations, even terrorists? Is this already happening?  What i am worrying is if bitcoin be widely used for bad things, negative news would be all over and bitcoin price will drop. It will lead to tougher regulation. Do u think world leaders are willing to kill btc to make sure they can fight terrirists?

I don't think bitcoin would be the problem here, even a weapon just by exisiting is not a crime but those who should wield it should take responsiblity. It certainly is become handy using btc in these terrorist and underground based transactions but I think the government should focus on the people responsible itself because sooner or later they will know that terrorist will always find a way to use valuable resources for their schemes.
