it links to a hamas telegram channel with 185k people in it - https://t.me/qassambrigades/27035 - with a post there that translates to the above quote

it is clearly not a "Bitcoin is for Terrorists" piece since it claims that bitcoin is not useful for them

this reminds me of how putin pressured binance to go after navalny donors - https://www.reuters.com/technology/how-crypto-giant-binance-built-ties-russian-fsb-linked-agency-2022-04-22/ - just instead of putin it is Israel and the US

Exactly. Regardless of true motives or source, the headline (and story overall) is actually a powerful piece of ammo in the "only terrorists use it" conversation.

"No, terrorists actively say to NOT use it because it is not as private as other existing legacy payment systems."

"Terrorists let people know Bitcoin cannot resist the state"

Sounds like an anti-bitcoin smear to me.

Hamas is the state over there...

Government and terrorism are not mutually exclusive.

In fact, they have a long history together.
