Child abuse imagery found within bitcoin's blockchain

German researchers have discovered unknown persons are using bitcoin’s blockchain to store and link to child abuse imagery, potentially putting the cryptocurrency in jeopardy.
The blockchain is the open-source, distributed ledger that records every bitcoin transaction, but can also store small bits of non-financial data. This data is typically notes about the trade of bitcoin, recording what it was for or other metadata. But it can also be used to store links and files.
Researchers from the RWTH Aachen University, Germany found that around 1,600 files were currently stored in bitcoin’s blockchain. Of the files least eight were of sexual content, including one thought to be an image of child abuse and two that contain 274 links to child abuse content, 142 of which link to dark web services.
“Our analysis shows that certain content, eg, illegal pornography, can render the mere possession of a blockchain illegal,” the researchers wrote. “Although court rulings do not yet exist, legislative texts from countries such as Germany, the UK, or the USA suggest that illegal content such as [child abuse imagery] can make the blockchain illegal to possess for all users.”
“This especially endangers the multi-billion dollar markets powering cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin.”

It’s the US government. They’re scared of the crypto currency.

Absolutely. They can't let us have anything.

It would make sense for the US or any other State ( China ) that wants to be the default currency to do this.

Probably the deep state putting them on there so they can shut it down.
They don't particularly like the plebes having something they cannot control

What makes you think they would be separate persons? Could easily be the same sick fricks that want to control and dominate the entire world. There's loads of people that think they can run your life, my life, everyone's lives, much better than we do ourselves. Those are exactly the types to not only place sabotage into BC, but for that sabotage, in the form of child porn, be from their own personal library.
