The second point is true for large quantities, e.g. if they want to cash in on 100MUS$. But they can still pay hosting fees, or send the coins to their friends in western countries to seed propaganda (or worse) there. //edit: The important thing then is that the coins are not "tainted" as being terrorist donations. With the system described in the article that may be possible.
