Two researchers from German universities has allegedly uncovered data in the Bitcoin Blockchain which contains child abuse content.
In a paper published, authors claim sexual images and links to child pornography is attached to Bitcoin transactions. Bitcoin transactions can contain additional data. Only 1600 files is currently in storge on the Blockchain, and sexual content makes up 0,5%..or as they say, at least 8 files! Lol.
Yet, in some countries this could be enough to make us all child abusers...
This have to be the most pathetic, desperate and disgraceful attack on Bitcoin ever.
"Jaja..wir founden kinder abuse, nein nein. Der Blockchain muss be gecancelled!"
lol. Yes
BAHHAHAHAHA! Oh man, I was expecting some great replies to this article, but wow I did not expect this. Bravo sir. Bravo.
Holy shit, something something pot and black kettle... The establishment are the greatest child abusers in history, they get up to all kinds of clandestine goings ons as well as destroying everyone's wealth when they can't get their greasy mitts on them in physical form. They are trying to project all their misdeeds onto the enemy, in this case their enemy is Bitcoin, of course it isn't going to work and as such the proof is that they keep desperately trying to make new attacks.
There would be no need for such attacks if Bitcoin was not such a threat.
I notice there is some positive sentiment coming out of governments and regulators now but with the condition that anonymity be controlled; they don't want free people to be able to transact wealth anonymously. I wonder if they are so keen to have their nefarious spending habits on the blockchain eh?
Agreed.
The only thing that concerns me is the stupid masses. If they associate Bitcoin with pedophilia..
"You heard about Bitcoin? It's a transaction system for pedoes online. You don't own any of that do you?"
Things don't have to be facts for it to get glued to peoples consciousness
Yeah that's true and will work for many things, many people and organisations have been taken down simply by crafting a story and pushing it. I would hope that Bitcoin has enough intellect for people to come out and prove just how stupid this is. In fact it would be interesting to be able to trace the alleged Bitcoin right back to epstein or savile or the clintons.
Ban laptops because illegal content can be played on them. The authorities should be thankful as blockchain transactions are there to stay so in theory it should be much easier now to track where the money went to or where it came from!
I can not understand why they try to destroy the cryptocurrencies
Because poop is coming out..
I just heard of this when reading a few comments within the chat-box on tradingview.com.
Link below to the article that was shared on that end:
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/mar/20/child-abuse-imagery-bitcoin-blockchain-illegal-content
So they will make Blockchain technology illegal then? Because using blockchain technology = child pornography? This is pretty bearish..
I hope not and there are certainly more intelligent ways of dealing with this situation than to simply blanket all blockchain users as pedophiles, because there happens to be a few kB of links to child porn within the hundreds of GB of blockchian data (potentially only one or two "bad actors" out of millions of users).
The sensible approach would be to find the links and take them (the websites that are linked within the blockchain) down. That said, no one in the world has ever thought of the ruling class as sensible... and for good reason.
In other words, fingers crossed...
It's a pity that this sort of thing happens, but it won't stop Bitcoin. We as a community should oppose it, but continue to support blockchain technology. Basically the same as the internet: there is bad stuff on it, sure - but that doesn't mean we should shut it down!
I guess this is an attempt to malign Blockchain.
LOL guess they are running out of FUD material. Let's see how bizarre they can go!
All Bitcoiners are nazis! Because Nazis worked on similar technology!
All this negativity with bitcoin is bound to give it more notice. Bad or good will be the judge of people. Common sense should be that even though bitcoin can do harm it is the end user's choice to determine. Do not think many people will fall for the fact that bitcoin only does harm to kids. Besides those college students who did the studies probably have nothing better to do so decides to put down bitcoin as best as they can. Waste of a brain in my opinion. lol.

Great post!
Thanks for tasting the eden!
This must be a joke.
a read The article there was no firm proof at all. if you read it and do not know anything about bitcone or the BlockChain, it warns u to think there are 5 per users on it.
