Chrome probably isn't the most secure platform for a software like this. It's a very interesting concept though, I like it  |

Bitcoin price is not fixed unlike LR, so most likely boost for webmoney, yandex money and so on The only man in this thread with the correct answer goes ignored... I doubt anyone ignored alex_fun for this. But 6 Billion is serious money, compared to the size of the Bitcoin economy, anyway. Some criminals who's funds have been taken by the feds might wonder if another centralized service that can be taken out the same way is such a good solution. If only 10% of that money went to Bitcoin, we should see a serious boost. But we don't. In fact we don't see evidence that any money at all is flowing into Bitcoin atm. And why should we? Moving money around with LR, Webmoney, WU or Bitcoin is not helping making it appear legitimate, just as carrying a bag of banknotes from one country to another is not helping a criminal in the least. To launder money, you need to have legitimate business and you add to the revenue they actually have. I think LR's turnover of illegitimate money was orders of magnitude smaller than the official numbers. Govt had other reasons for taking them down and they simply lie to us. This should give you a better opinion of what cybercriminals think about LR. http://krebsonsecurity.com/2013/05/underweb-payments-post-liberty-reserve/I suggest you read the article you link to yourself. The poll at the bottom says 13.83% think Bitcoin works best for them. If that translates into 13.83% of the 6 Billion of alleged criminal volume (around 1 Billion / year), that means we should see an additional $300K volume per day. Which would be perfectly visible. Apparently it doesn't translate. Which means that 6 Billion is grossly overexaggerated. Other than that, I have my issues with the article and the apparent lack of knowledge of the author. Saying that LR was "insanely redundant and secure" as opposed to Bitcoin is not very accurate, as you undoubtedly will agree. The author does know what he is talking about when it comes to cybercrime, even if he does get a few facts wrong. The majority of cybercriminals do not want to use Bitcoin because of volatility reasons. Feel free to try to prove me wrong. |

I cannot believe this has not had a significant upward effect on the Bitcoin price. The entire online payment systems network that isn't bitcoin or paypal-ish has been utterly destroyed with the shut down of Liberty Reserve.
Its not just Liberty Reserve. Its all the exchangers that went with it.
If I have money in one of the centralized e-currencies like Perfect Money. How am I going to get it out, exactly? There is no easy way. Aurumxchange is there, thats pretty much it. And it only exchanges, it doesn't allow redemption for a Bank Wire. I have to take multiple steps to get from something like Payza (paypal-ish) to Bitcoin. Egopay has gone derp and won't let anybody log in. Perfect Money won't allow US Residents to use it.
Online payments as of now are basically dead unless you are using an e-currency like Paypal with built-in consumer 'protection'. Other than Bitcoin, that is. How are people not making the switch? Is it because all the exchangers are dead? When the wires suddenly start clearing, will the Bitcoin price go on some crazy jump upwards? Or are people just freaked out of online payments entirely and are leaving?
previous LR users are looking for a better payment system. PM and WM are possible alternatives, except they may both share LR's fate one day. HD Money is another site that I recently learned about, some people say exchanges will accept it soon. looks like a scam to me. Bitcoin is a possible alternative, but many people don't like BTC due to the volatility. I don't see Bitcoin becoming a real alternative to LR any time soon. |

Do you believe there's a point where Bitcoin will follow the other commodities?
Not in the next few years. Gold is something you can hold in your hand, many people who are new to technology would be skeptical about Bitcoin as it is digital. |

You have "Ripple is a scam" and are trying to buy XRP's. How does that make any sense?  Also, the price is firm guys. Not really sure how I can make that any clearer. They're getting money from putting up the signature and they're making money from trading the XRPs, which shows they don't believe in anything aside from money.  |
