| Oh hell no. You make a payment to some web developer who you thought was a refugee/asylum seeker, but couldn't verify their status. Let's say things go great. Then let's say that person ends up getting denied for asylum seeker status, because they worked for the Taliban - let's say that part is even wrong, they never did that, or they did it under duress - let's say all that matters is that they showed up in this database. Now you've just given a cryptocurrency payment to someone who was denied asylum seeker status, and because of an (incorrect) database entry, it looks like you've funded a terrorist organization. No, thank you. You'd have to be extremely naive to believe somebody, then pay them in cryptocurrency because you believed their sob story about being an asylum seeker. You're likely actually funding somebody who might be in danger - because they were captured and forced to do work for some regime you don't agree with. "I'm in North Korea and I need you to pay in bitcoin!" - That money isn't going to them, it's going to the North Korean state. "Help me, I'm a computer science student of Kabul University!" - Congratulations, your btc payments funded the Taliban. They ARE a CS student of Kabul University, but they've been captured and are forced to work for the Taliban. Nobody should even THINK about doing this. |
