Ashley, I've been watchin you, and like you, please don't be too cruel.  =)    And to the OP, please try not to talk about the drugs and money laundering.  Obviously, even if the activities did add value to bitcoins...  conversations and debates about contentious issues could be a big turn off to the newcomers to bitcoin, who might be on the fence about this whole BitCoin thing.  Sheeple only spend about 20 minutes researching a new topic, and I'd hope that their 20 minutes isn't spent reading a thread that tries to say the bulk of bitcoin value is an illegal activity.  =)   

Don't feed the bears, man.  OR the alligators.  OR the 'war on drugs'.   =)
