This is like Microsoft trying to incriminate you for buying Donkey Kong for your Wii.

By definition, there's no such thing as an "illegal transaction" in terms of Bitcoins.

My apologies, it seems I haven't expressed myself well. I don't mean to imply that Bitcoin has a problem with illegal activity, merely that if one could argue the case then one could almost certainly apply the same argument to fiat and corruption.

I certainly have no ethical hang-ups with using Bitcoins and indeed feel better about trading with them than with Sterling.

Bitcoin having a problem with illegal activity is easily matched and bested by centrally controlled wealth systems having a problem with severe immoral activity. A merchant accepting fiat is as easily accused of supporting corruption as one accepting Bitcoin is accused of supporting crime.

That money laundering was the key criticism of Bitcoin is a huge success. If a merchant is concerned about supporting or appearing to support crime by accepting Bitcoin then I would urge them to think hard about what they are supporting by accepting fiat.

But when Donald Norman, co-founder of fellow digital currency provider Bitcoin was questioned...

who is he and when did he become friends with Satoshi?

so today was the day of the talk and huge reduction in value. Could it be that the speakers at the future of money talk may be among the speculators doing most of the trading?

Doesn't it suck when you're in all the way above $6 and it crashes to $5?

I'd say this is what The Manipulator wants, and it may very well help trigger a new rally. It just wants to buy more at a lower price.

Look who else is showing up at Sibos:

Antonio Benjamin, Global Chief Technology Officer, Citi
Uday Goyal, Founder, Anthemis Group SA
Shamir Karkal, CFO, Banksimple
Darrell MacMullin, Managing Director of PayPal Canada, PayPal
Venessa Miemis, Social Technologies Researcher, Emergent by Design
Donald Norman, Co-founder, Bitcoin Consultancy Ltd.
Heather Schlegel, CEO, Purple Tornado
Stan Stalnaker, Founding Director, Hub Culture / Ven Currency

We've got a bunch of companies trying to get the biggest cut of the pie and fees, and then Bitcoin, which doesn't want your money or fees at all (and for which anyone can be a speaker or expert), it just works.

Affordable Physical Bitcoins - Denarium.com

The download volume graph is a bit deceptive because one has to take into account the fact that there has not been a new Bitcoin client release for months. Before August there were old and new users downloading the client, during August and September it's mostly new users.

When the new 0.4 client with built-in encryption is released, I bet the download count jumps significantly and stays up for a while.

As for Google trends, that isn't looking good. But just like the transaction count and everything else, I see those indicators bottoming out very soon, just like the price (which possibly has already bottomed).
