Bitcoin is not untraceable.
An adversary capable enough to eavesdrop on dissidents' communication making them need Tor should be capable of tracing the publicly available bitcoin transaction logs back from the payment to the proxy owner to the originating non-anonymous financial transaction used to purchase the bitcoins.
