dunno whats worse bitcoin being linked to the iodine suppliments that arnt really needed. or bitcoin related to silkroad.

i kinda lost respect in alex jones since he started selling ice to eskimo's

Bitcoin is a CURRENCY. A good currency is one that is universally accepted. The more people willing to accept a currency the better.

You seem to think Bitcoin is something other than a currency. What do you think Bitcoin is?

He is already "linked" to the USD by accepting it via PayPal.

all i meant was, it is really a big news worthy event to mention that you can now buy alex jones's wonder drug that can ** prevent cancer **? to me Dell and overstock are more newsworthy.

I dont think the big news is that his store is accepting BTC, and I agree his product claims seem to be a little fantastical. But he has a large listener base and a big platform to introduce people to BTC.
