Just saying, if we're to say that the primary economic value of bitcoins are illegal transactions...

Having coins != being part of an organization.

And a rapidly growing community means exactly jack shit to such a supposedly AMAZING financial instrument where there NO ECONOMY backing it up.

The Silk Road has thousands of members. Welcome to reality.

Silk Road members should all be thrown in jail and forgotten about along with you for wanting to profit off the gains of the Cartels.

Not to hijack this quality thread but...

I mined thousands of coins in 2010 and I should be thrown in jail because now there is demand for the coins?  Who cares where the demand is coming from, if I can exchange them for USD then that is my prerogative.  I don't see that as a reason to throw someone in jail just because criminals to US law want them.

If I have dollar bills, am I profiting off of cartels? Also I was talking about the existence of their business, not personal opinions about drug prohibition and enforcement.

Yes, BillX, and I'm not sure you want to go down the slippery slope of who should be held accountable for who else profiting from what... if you live in the US, UK or pretty much any industrialised nation and reap the rewards thereof, you might be shocked at what you have been profiting from.

Synaptic: Sorry bro but you are simply outclassed.  You are taking a few opinions, calling them facts, and getting in a pissing fight over others' opinions.  Very few people need your "education".

The real question is:  how much have you invested in Bitcoin that hasn't paid off that has made you so emotionally unstable?  Are you just angry because you missed out on the bonanza of value created for early adopters in 2009 and 2010?  Or did you buy a load of bitcoins at $30 a piece and are getting impatient?

Good luck my unfortunate OP.

I'm not outclassed at all.  There hasn't been a single refutation of my original thesis that bitcoin will continue to bleed value based on the all the circumstances I've listed.

But let me ask you directly Mike, please do tell,

What is incorrect in my original post?
Lol... thesis

Please start shrinking value of bitcoins, I'm ready to buy at $10 ea.  Put your bitcoins where your mouth is.

Thanks for another meaningless post!

And boy do I have some news for you friend:

RALLY!

Yes that's right everyone!  RALLY!

GO GO GO GO!

Did you ever caught me doing that?  I'm taking very neutral position in not speculating and not pumping shit either way. But I'm strong bull who doesn't need to try to convey my view upon everyone else - this is confidence. Market will go to least resistant and most acceptable value - everything else is SPECULATION.  BTW I perceive you as bull too only cross-dressed in bear skin
