I have a hard time believing this. Why would Satoshi, who seems to have good intentions, create Bitcoin and immediately start a drug/illegal operation with it? I think some criminals just took advantage of its security, that is all.

The intentions/interests of Bitcoin and Silkroad are highly aligned, it's no accident Bitcoin has become the de facto currency of Darknet Markets. Silkroad is not illegal everywhere, and its intentions can be argued as good, I don't think the original Bitcoin community had any hate for silkroad at all, actually I'm pretty sure 90% of old timers liked silkroad, a lot. I mean BitInstant's Charlie Shrem even went to jail for helping silkroad launder money.

It almost as if Satoshi created Bitcoin specifically for Darknet Markets. I mean Darknet transactions are almost 100% done in crypto-currency nowadays.

Also, do you not find it strange that both Satoshi and DPR use TOR to hide their identity 100% of the time? This is not something done by anyone else in the Bitcoin development space. Not Hal Finney, not Gavin Andressen, none! No other developer in Bitcoin space are afraid to show their own identity, in fact most are proud to get their name out there. Only Satoshi hid his identity and use TOR 100% of the time. If he was DPR, then that perfectly explains why he had to do that.
