Well, my apologies if I assumed you were implying that, but I didn't have many other choices, did I?
I understood this as follow:
LR (criminals) ---> criminals go to bitcoins ---> price go up because of criminals
Now, if you didn't really mean the first two steps, we are left with this:
?? -----> ?? ----> price go up because of criminals.
Any new bump is coming from more criminals, looking for a new safe haven.

Pretending to not understand the allure of Bitcoin, isn't really helping move this conversation forward, because I know it's not true. You know very well why criminals would come to bitcoin. It's what bitcoin is built on. Criminals and illegal activity. You're trying to play the devils advocate as if somehow, Bitcoin is attractive to legitimate individuals, but it's only attractive as a commodity for those folks, like myself.
You know that...you simply thought your statement was cute and quickly found yourself in a jam trying to explain, the unexplainable. To prove your point, you have to argue against the very libertarian aspect of Bitcoin that you espouse. Please stop wasting my time and go back to the kiddie table with the other ideologues.
Take Ashley with you too. Since I've been on this forum she has never once said anything remotely intelligent, interesting or edifying.
