Hayyat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) is promoting the use of bitcoin to its followers, calling it one of the most important inventions of the last decade.
The jihadist group extolled the virtues of the cryptocurrency in its weekly magazine released over the weekend.
The article lists a number of advantages of using bitcoin, arguing that it is “safe” because of the anonymity it provides and that there are no restrictions on its use.
It's worthwhile that other militant groups as well saw the benefits of cryptocurrency and called for their supporters to donate in virtual currency.
In response to the growing threat, the US Treasury enforced sanctions against cryptocurrency wallet addresses for the first time last year.
