NPR writes "Silk Road: Not Your Father's Amazon.com"

"Silk Road buyers and sellers use TOR, a system that allows its users to use the Internet anonymously, to log on to the site and only conduct transactions in the digital currency bitcoin, which is also untraceable."

Can't say that nobody saw that coming. I've been reading these articles, and of course they sound utterly ridiculous to us. But when I showed the article to someone at work, they were like, "What are you involved with?" Because to anyone who doesn't understand, this makes it seem like Bitcoins are solely used to buy drugs.
