Perhaps they should consider running a decentralized Silk Road with taxpayer money in order to keep bullets from flying around in the streets.

Yes because while Silk Road was open for business, all drug crime on our streets stopped didn't it.

Anything that government is doing isn't really helping or wasn't intended to help anyone at all. The drug war and war on terrorism is pretty much pointless. But this comes down to the same subject, and we keep going in circles.

because those bitcoin were used for illegal stuff too and also the amount of money was too high, i don't see other reasons

thanks god they didn't close bitcoin generally. in russia they wanna do it and drugs are the main reason

isn't russia already out of bitcoin, i heard it got banned there

anyway they can't "close" bitcoin, bitcoin is decentralized...this is one of the beauty about bitcoin...ineluctable

Yes they have. It's been banned more or less. What did they achieve with this ban? Pretty much nothing. No amount of drugs was left unsold due to Bitcoin not being available in Russia.
