Title: 2012-11-19 Brighton Argus - Getting drugs posted through your door Post by: scribe on November 19, 2012, 08:21:14 PM Awesome, Bitcoins just made the front page of my local rag. Apologies if this doesn't fit the Press section, most of the coverage is Silk Road rather than Bitcoins, but I was too excited to see it there...
Quote Special delivery: Getting drugs posted through your door Ben Leo 2012-11-19 http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/10056853.Special_delivery__Getting_drugs_posted_through_your_door/ ... Brighton clubber Sam, 24, not his real name, excitedly showed our reporter around the bizarre community of drug buyers and sellers who frequent the website. ...

My local rag also just did a story on the Silk Road.. but without mentioning Bitcoin.

Quote He said the drugs sold tended to be older drugs such as cannabis, which he was surprised to find was the most common product. "Bitcoin: Helping you buy what you always bought anyway."

« More and more people I know in Brighton are now coming onto Silk Road to order their stuff. It’s just so much easier and I know the quality of the stuff I order isn’t going to be compromised. » Awesome. It's funny that nerds and clubbers are the most likely kinds of bitcoin users. |
