If there was no bitcoin then they would just be using something else perhaps LTC?

This is the land of wolves now & you're not a wolf
Poor parents are always the ones that are so quick to blame everyone but themselves for their children's decisions and actions.   They love to point the finger at someone (in this case Bitcoin), and blame bitcoin for their inability to monitor their own kids.

If it wasn't bitcoin they would be buying these with cash anyway.   Probably the cash that they obtained from selling the pills out of these same parents medicine cabinets.

Of course.  They're saving their greenbacks for the hardcore drugs they buy on the street.  The cause is not the coin, it's a lack of guidance and support through good parenting. 
I agree to most of this, it doesn't matter if they do it with cash or with bitcoins as those are just currencies, but it's people's nature's and teaching that determine these.

kids are using US Dollars to buy fake IDs.  Should we ban US Dollars?

notice how they are never consistent with this thinking.

The thing is that you can find someone to sell you almost anythng online. Is it because of the anonymity bitcoin offers? I don't think so! Bitcoin's anonymity is partial, realy few people use the appropriate tools to be fully anonymous with it. There are several other payment processors that provide anonymous transactions and are used for fraud too. Why put the blame on bitcoin when there are registered companies that profide the same tools to fraudsters and also in a larger volume?

Few examples would be Perfect money and Payeer. Top e-currency payment processors used for controversial transactions and money laundering.

Wow kids are using bitcoin for fake IDs?!

Adults, grown men in suits use fiat to fund bank heists and fund wars that wreck nations and threaten the economy. When THEY are in prison, then I'll worry about a kid getting a fake ID.  Roll Eyes

Time is on our side, yes it is!
Children will be Children.
It could be worse.

Agreed and bad journalists will be... well you know.

News headline of century:

"Before bitcoins came about, kids were buying fake ID with cash". Very surprising, right??


Isn't it funny how such an obvious fact is overlooked by the media in this case.  They would love to act like all of a sudden kids stopped using the dollar and their buying all the fake id's, lol.

At least they are not ordering a contract killer to get rid of their math teacher.
I believe it would cost much more coins than just fake id  Grin Grin
By the way, i never read an article about contract killers using bitcoin..

Well silkroad comes to my mind Smiley

This is just the ordinary web. I don't think that anyone calls it the 'surface web'.  Cheesy
Indeed, you should stay away from the Deep Web and all related illegal activity there. 
Well, I call it the surface web. It's just the antonym to "deep", so that's my thought process.

The deep web isn't very cool anyways, I have no interest in anything there anyways. Anything that I am interested in that may be available there I can find legally and from a licensed company. Cheesy
Okay then, I'm just saying that it usually isn't called that way.  Wink
Actually the deep web is much better than this one, much more interesting but dangerous as well.  Cool

Hey, if CNN covers this, something tells me localbitcoins traffic will increase by 50%.  Someone note Alexa traffic rankings and mark my words!


Too lazy yourself to note the traffic rankings?

So what, my cousin bought fake IDs from China using a credit card, you just buy a "toy" and in the toy comes 2 fake IDs. He showed me the whole process and got them pretty quick. BTC isn't some thing that magically allows everyone to start doing illegal things. The illegal things were happening in cash/credit cards before BTC existed.

non-story.
