Title: The whole wave of Bitcoin lies on the fact that marijuana is illegal
Post by: jongameson on December 19, 2013, 03:38:25 PM
probably 90% of the bitcoin related purchases are marijuana related
the other 9.95% are opiates, pain pills, psychedelics, etc..

then 0.05% business selling computer parts and shit to nerds so they can *prove* they are not for drug use

Where are you getting these percentages from? Have you just made them up? You haven’t even factored in people who are holding their coins as an investment. There are also lots of businesses that are non-computer parts and selling shit to nerds etc and these are growing everyday.

Not true. Please look into it. Also I highly doubt that 90 % of BTC drug sales are marijuana because
a) cannabis you can get anywhere easily (almost)
b) cannabis is harder to disguise and hide and you need more of it by weight that most other drugs

Other drugs are also often a lot more profitable and they are interesting to buy online because many people just don't find good quality LSD, cocaine etc. where they live, if they find it at all.

Also you can see how much trading went on at Silk Road, it wasn't all that much compared to other things. Bitcoin didn't crash when the Silk Road was seized, remember? It barely had an effect.

No, you come with this statistc if you are passionate SR user and cannot imagine what else the Bitcoin could be usefull for.
I have different problem, I would say no more than 1% Bitcoin trade is SR based because I have no idea how the SR works or how could be SR usefull to many people

Holy shit, what a topic.....

It's the most stupid topic I've ever read.

Lots of people (newspapers) are talking about pyramid schemes and drug money when referring to bitcoin that's just ridiculous.

Maybe some part of the bitcoin is used in illegal drugs, but so is USD's and EURO's and whatever other currency you favor.

I would far more paranoid using bitcoin...

I've been tempted to go to this site:

http://zeltasgarden.com/

But then I slap myself, and say no dude you can just walk down the street.

Bitcoin is not anonymous, the dealers from the famous silk road should be worried.

I see the OP like to pull random "facts" out of thin air. Where are the statistics to back this claim?

Here's what you couldve also said: "The whole wave of dollars lies on the fact that cocaine is illegal"

Whatever that means anyway...

IBM's new patent will ensure your bitcoin aren't "tainted" by nefarious illegal activity.

The same can't be said for the cocaine coated US dollars..lol

marijuana is illegal ???

I dunno in what retarded part of the world you are living, but in most civilized countries, marijuana is perfectly legal.

And I can assure you, Bitcoin is pretty popular here in the Netherlands.

It's illegal in most countries in the world. And it's not even legal in Holland, just tolerated / not enforced.
