šDeFi fanatics, gather 'round!š Let's talk crypto and terrorism (yikes!). WSJ claims Hamas raised $41M in crypto, but ex-CIA analyst Yaya Fanusie says it's not that simple. š
šPublic blockchains make terrorist financing traceable, so it's a double-edged sword. Hamas even suspended its BTC donation campaign due to the risk of being caught! šµļøāāļø
š°Fanusie also questions if the funds raised were used in attacks or even reached terrorists. Law enforcement might've seized them! š
šPrivacy coins & mixing services? Not as effective as you'd think. Monero lacks liquidity, and the US sanctioned Tornado Cash. šŖļø
