After being bounced from traditional online fundraising and payment
platforms, the “alt-right” and other racists are turning to bitcoin to
help fund their activities.
Bitcoins can be used to purchase all manner
of goods as well as to make donations to “alt-right” figures such as
Andrew Anglin. Bitcoin purchases, however, can be traced.
The Southern Poverty Law Center will
release a list of 200 accounts tied to white nationalists and racists in
the coming week.

I had no idea! This backstory is an interesting one, and it's amazing how greed is always in the mix with the subjugation of others! I started hearing the word "Bitcoin" a while ago, and it seemed to be a "get rich quick" scheme that would predictably bubble, leaving its believers with "bits of coins" of whatever dollars they originally invested. Now it seems that there's a whole lot more we're not being told. Good job as always in throwing some serious light down on things!
