many fails in that research

EG
Quote
had sales of $1.2 billion, generating $80 million in commissions

so silk road was charging 15% commission?? really.. i have never been on silkroad but just looking at the 15% commission that these "researchers" propose DPR received seems a little .. wrong

secondly bitcoins. unless lost due to hardware failures or hoarded and never spent. will circle through many peoples hands. its not like a bank note that gets burned and a fresh serial numbered note appears as a replacement. once the coin is mined and in the system, its in the system forever. so of course coins from the earlier days will appear going through silk road. what they dont tell you is that it probably passed through 100+ different people before reaching a drug addict that needed silk roads services.

I DO NOT TRADE OR ACT AS ESCROW ON THIS FORUM EVER.
Please do your own research & respect what is written here as both opinion & information gleaned from experience. many people replying with insults but no on-topic content substance, automatically are 'facepalmed' and yawned at

inflated numbers i bet. they probably multiplied the total number of bitcoins ulbricht had, and multiplied it by the then present value of bitcoins and got that $80 million number.

they are saying that 100 bitcoins = $100 USD is the same as 1 bitcoin = $100 USD.
