The Silk Road bust was brilliant, shutting down a site full of criminal degenerates and using all the gathered intel to bust more criminals. Now with that there will be improvement to shut down each and every criminal enterprise related to bitcoin and keep it pure, unused by scumbags that belong in prison.
Says the Average Joe who likely has a medicine cabinet full of "Approved" drugs.
SR had an anit-child-porn policy. They had my support after that.
Nice try, but no meds in my cabinet, save for some ibuprofen, you can count that if you like, but whatever. Supporting heroin sales, murder for hire, doesnt make it worth supporting in anyway to me. Its a good thing DPR was busted, and the dealers are as well. Bitcoin doesn't need that trash, and with bitcoin rising after the SR bust, is clear evidence criminal enterprise has very little impact on bitcoin value.
criminal activity does have a significant impact, imo. just because SR went down doesn't mean that people would have stopped buying drugs or illegal services with BTC. speculators probably figured that someone else would take the crown from SR.
