Title: [2016-03-15] Underage Student Accepts Bitcoin for Hard Drugs
Post by: virtuose247 on March 15, 2016, 02:07:32 PM
Bitcoin has often been associated with illegal activities on the Internet, ranging from drug dealing to assassination and just about everything in between. However, none of this is to blame on Bitcoin or its technology, as Internet criminals accept the form of payment they think offers anonymity, which Bitcoin does not.
