as a non hacker investor in BTC, i am tired of hearing laughing and joking about how drug dealers and gangs will most definitely use BTC to move money around the world to facilitate their illegal activities. Hive 45 had 2 jokers laughing and joking about using BTC for assasinations. i'm sorry, civilized ppl just don't talk like that. if this becomes the case, BTC may be doomed in the long run to function as a new currency to replace the USD which is what i presume most of the ppl on this forum want. i know i sure do and now i have an invested interest in making this so. i would like to use this thread to develop ideas about how this activity might be prevented. i don't want to hear comments about how it is inevitable, can't stop it, its gonna happen no matter what type comments that are often accompanied by a veneer of glee. this is serious business and i have BTC to protect; so i'd like to hear productive ideas about how this can be accomplished. if everyone believes its impossible then fine, i get an empty thread.
Whoa, I know it was a while back but I thought I should say something. I am one of the jokers off Hive 45, when we started talking about it we wanted to explore all the possible futures of bitcoin not to promote any illigal activity. Bitcoin is a fantastic system and I know it is going to go places, but we still need to acknowledge and discuss all possible outcomes of this going mainstream. Even if it does lead to such things as assassination networks.
I am actually kind of glad that even in my very small way I helped get the discussion about this out there. This thread had been a gold mine. Some of the ideas that have been brought up have blown my mind.
The Assassination Politics essay is definitely raising a few hairs on the back of my neck though...
