The military arm of the Palestinian militant group said that it will halt bitcoin donations for "the safety of the donors...especially in light of the intensification of the prosecution and the doubling of the hostile effort against anyone who tries to support the resistance through this currency."
Discussion
Its only safe if you know how....
Do you donate to Hamas?
I'm not sure it's a bad thing that they don't understand bitcoin privacy
Hamas: "There we said it. Now create another wallet and send the Addy to the homies."
This story is not newsworthy and patently red-flag suspect.
- Only source-link in OP is a coindesk article
- Hamas wouldn’t broadcast something like this unless the amount of BTC received was a pittance
- why would Hamas say ‘stop supporting us’ when they could say ‘support us more privately’
- if Hamas had large donors in responsibly private channels they would never publish this
- references in OP article are questionable
- et al
This is a proper gander “Bitcoin is for Terrists” piece, and I’ll bet 1k satoshis on it.
So we’ve failed. Good to know, will keep this in mind when other devs try to trade off privacy for other things…
Bitcoin is a failure bc Hamas got booted off binance?
🤡
☝️ #monero fixes this
Thanks for bringing this, Odell.
They should accept ecash, totally private
Makes a lot of sense unfortunately. While you can achieve very good privacy on Bitcoin, you can also get very bad privacy if you make common mistakes.
Things like Monero are popular in darkmarks because the minimum level of privacy most people achieve is better than the minimum level of privacy on Bitcoin.
Seems Hamas understands #Bitcoin better than official western regulating organisations.
You might be retarded if you think binance off ramp = Bitcoin
Not your keys not your crypto
b,b,b,b,BULLSHIT.
The announcement is awfully considerate of them. You don’t see that anymore from terrorist groups these days. Pretty refreshing, honestly.
