Silk Road Like Website Ran Away With Customers Money

A decentralized network can not and will not protect you when you engage with centralized systems. An escrow or online account wallet is a centralized system, use at your own risk.

Btc has become too associated with scams and allows criminal activity to take place online. These stories are very bad for btc

It's because of the way bitcoin works and all the government shills is the reason why we focus on the bad parts of bitcoin.  There are lots of other things about bitcoin that is good. Such as decentralisation and low transaction fees.

This is simply not true.  We already have big companies accepting bitcoin.  It is great for people who don't have credit or are living abroad.  No need to keep thousands of dollars in your home country's bank account to pay your credit card anymore.

I'm not sure if you're agreeing to my statement and disagreeing to the one I quoted. I fail to see why it is "simply not true". Look at the reasons LaudaM has provided.

You are right. But Evolution customers were just lazy. Because this site have state of the art anti acam system. "That system, would require at least two out of three parties in a transaction -the buyer, the seller, and Evolution's administrators -to sign off on a deal. But due to its complexity, buyers rarely used the feature". So it is really stupidity that is the root of all evil here.

Where are you getting that quote from? Isn't it possible that they somehow manipulated the 2 of 3 escrow as well? Though if the system was indeed so complicated you can't blame people for forgoing it, though I think a decentralized system that doesn't involve the market admins is the way to go.
