No?

Suprised I've not been called a troll yet though (or placed on ignore) for dare questioning the almighty DRK!

I simply do not understand why monitoring the DRK/BTC price makes any sense. To me it's the same as monitor the USD equivalents. They are all based around that at the end of the day

This makes no sense to me at all.

Surely the DRK/BTC price will keep the same ratio as the BTC/USD price in relation to the DRK/USD price.

Meaning you wouldn't get BTC/USD and DRK/USD dropping and DRK/BTC rising. They are all in sync with one another.

Otherwise you'd be able to a ton of cash trading the differences, which I'm assuming isn't possible.

So essentially monitoring the DRK/BTC price is the same as monitoring the USD ratio equivalent

Obviously I'm missing something here.

If BTC goes down (compared to the $) and DRK goes down (compared to the $), then the DRK/BTC rate will remain the same. It would never go up significantly (or down significantly), because that would fuck up the dollar comparison and people could make a ton of money buying and selling at will.

So really the whole BTC/DRK comparison is pretty meaningless. What really matters in today's World is BTC/USD and DRK/USD. Both of which are falling dramatically

And has very little (if any) relevance to most.

If BTC becomes $100 per coin and DRK still "holds" against it, are you telling me that's a good thing? What about $10 or $1?

All crypto currency is down heavily. I wasn't complaining specifically about DRK, everyone is getting hit.

What's slightly annoying is the sheer amount of dillusion seen on these forums when it comes to DRK. People think it's untouchable and it's obviously not.

I'm a holder of BTC and I'm a holder of DRK. Both right now are extremely shitty investments, regardless of what anyone on here will try to tell you

DRK still holds? What are you talking about?

DRK is down 15% in the last 24 hours. It's now worth less than $1.50 per coin. And what's worse it's daily trading volume is just $60,000.

So the entire currency can lose 15% with just 60 grand of trading.

Awesome.

I guess the notion of an open marketplace is lost on you?

Now you're taking an absolute extreme opposing view to try and make your point.

No where did I state alcohol or tobacco should be illegal and people should be forced into treatment. Hell, my issue here isn't even about making drugs legal, or forcing addicts to seek treatment.

It's about the scumbags of the World being given the ability to prosper by selling dangerous shit as they please. No real age checks. No quantity restrictions. Nothing.

If you can't see how serious questions of morality are raised by that then I think you need to take a long look in the mirror.

That's the last I'll say on the topic

I'm not blaming Darkcoin. I'm saying if you're anything of a decent human being you don't think a site selling Class A drugs to anyone and everyone is "good news". And certainly not good news because the value of your fucking cryptocurrency increases.

What's so hard to understand about that?

Honestly if you add someone to your ignore list for them merely sharing their opinion you're a pussy hurt bitch and need to grow a set

That kinda proves my point... Alcohol is legal. I can easily go out and buy however much I want for not much money at all. So yeah of course more people die of it. It's the same with cigarettes.

If you introduced all the sick and twisted drugs into the general populace and made it as easy as buying alcohol I think society in a lot of countries would go to absolute shit.

Education at a young age and proper treatment for those already addicted is the answer in my view.

Giving the scumbags of the World a method to sell their garbage anonymously online to the vulnerable (for profit) is not

Thankfully they're not and probably never will be.

There is enough misery and suffering in the World. We don't need crystal meth to be legal thank you.

I do think those who are already addicted should be treated like they have a medical condition though and not forced to break the law to get their fix

And there's a reason why alcohol is illegal to drink unless you're over 18 in most countries.

And no I'm talking about heavy duty shit that you get addicted to from the first time you take it.

Google krokodil, look at some of the images and then get back to me with your "alcohol" arguement

And we have regulations and rules in place as a society to prevent such tools ending up in the hands of people who don't know how to use or control them properly.

Okay some rules go too far and some wrongfully infringe on our rights, but you can't seriously be suggesting we should be selling Class A drugs to anyone who wants them, regardless of age or standing.

I mean that's essentially what these sites provide. A fucking savvy 13 year old can now order cocaine to their parent's house and his/her parents would probably be none the wiser.

Oh but hey... It's all in the name of freedom so it's okay!

No of course not. The people allowing and encouraging such actions are. And the greedy ass holes only concerned with the $ value of Darkcoin who think it's good news

It is absolutely NOTHING like that.

I never said don't use Darkcoin. I said people shouldn't be happy or say it's "good news" because a website selling Class A drugs can now do so anonymously.

What the heck does that have to do with kitchen knives?

Oh hey guys some 16 year old can now anonymously order heroin to fuel his addiction and end up overdosing and killing himself! And Darkcoin rose $0.50 because of it! Great news!

Fucking idiots

I don't hate Bitcoin or Darkcoin or any other cryptocurrency. I think they are incredible tools that have unfortunately (so far) mostly been misused by people for greed in one form or another.

I was simply stating I find it shallow to say it's good news that drug dealers will start using your currency. To me that's fucking bad news. I don't want those scumbags using it. I want people who value freedom of speech and privacy adopting it. That's why I believe in Darkcoin and I why I invested into it

The cryptocurrency community is full of fucking hypocrites.

They will moan all day about how the $ is fake and not real money, but then scream in joy like little children when their crypto increases in dollar value.

They will act all high and mighty pretending they stand for justice and what's right in the World, but then bend over for the chance to support and provide a service to some of the lowest forms of life on the planet (drug dealers). And no I'm not talking about pot, I'm talking about the heavy duty shit that literally ruins the lives of millions.

Congrats guys. You're so fucking cool!

Honestly this kind of post makes me sick. Just goes to show how many shallow fuckers there are in the Darkcoin community if you and others think it's "great news" that Darkcoin will be the drug dealers currency of choice.

What would be "great news" is if normal (noncriminal) people started taking privacy and freedom of speech (luxuries that were taken for granted) more seriously. That would be great news.

No instead we have a bunch of greedy dillusional nerds happy because drug addicts are getting their fix and they just so happen to make a bit of kickback from it in the form of an increasing Darkcoin $ value.

Screw you
