I can't say the idea of another big hoard of FBI-seized crypto sounds like a positive step forward.

Agreed but I think this time FBI will not be able to seize. I mean even FBI cannot break crypto. Btw. crypto is the very definition of crypto currencies unlike Bitcoin where 99% of the computational effort is wasted and not used for crypto.

The only way I can see for the FBI to shut down the Nxt market place would be to buy 51% of the money supply and kill people's trust in Nxt by attacking it. I hope for Nxt's sake they don't do this.. that would be a sad day. Sad

For a decentralised form of currency, the cryptocurrency community does seem somewhat un-phased by how centralised it is by exchanges, gambling sites, underground black markets, etc..

Bitcoin was used on the silkroad, but it survived after the silkroad was closed. Nxt might survive but I doubt a silkroad running on it's marketplace will survive for long.

Why?

All the big governments worldwide will probably find a way to close it down by working together. The US government found a way to close the silkroad down even though the person running it thought it was impossible.

It is indeed a controversial issue.

Why do you not ask NXT-JALK-M9UZ-43K9-7D54P himself? Wink

lol

Some people see this as a bad thing.. I don't really care about it though. The government lost the war on drugs a long time ago, but they are in denial. Live and let live in my opinion.. that is what we have been moving towards for a while now in terms of GLBT rights, religion, abortion, and race. It is bound to happen eventually with drugs.. you can already see marijuana being slowly decriminalized (it is already legalized in some places.) Harder drugs may not be legalized in our lifetime, but I am sure that marijuana will be. The government needs to focus on substance abuse treatment rather than throwing people in jail.

Short of killing Nxt itself or going around and putting all the Nxt'ers in jail, there is not much they can do about it. They will likely just go after the vendors, like they do versus silk road and silk road 2.0
