Folks, please allow me to give you some nice advice about how the legal system works in the US. Bitcoin is a very unique wild new 'thing' with very interesting unusual properties and attributes. These unusual properties and attributes can enable certain activity which is ILLEGAL!! Now, since it will take more than 10 years to put into place effective legislation which operates to control bad activity which may be brought about by clever folks who embrace these unusual properties and attributes, the cops need to put some pressure on those who chose to do this stuff. But the cops don't have good specific laws yet. However, just because these laws don't yet exist, doesn't mean the cops will let people run wild. Nope. Instead they will use the old laws, and with those laws they will put the hammer down early and often. Not only that, they will put the hammer down hard. In this way, they will encourage others to use Bitcoin gently and politely until the effective laws can be devised. 1) Ross 2) Charlie 3) http://qntra.net/2015/05/deep-web-marketplace-go-betweener-faces-20-years-jail/4) you are next Folks, just because it seems like Bitcoin will enable you to do crazy illegal shit without getting caught - you are going to get caught. And when you do, the penalty is going to be VERY severe. Don't freaking do illegal shit with Bitcoin!!! The government doesn't hate Bitcoin. They aren't trying to wreck it. They just won't tolerate ANY bullshit from squirmy little nerds who think Silk Road is just clever software. Silk Road was a massive drug peddling operation. Your soft characterization of it won't operate to soften the jail time you are about to get. Here's the good news: There are 1000s of cool LEGAL things to do with Bitcoin. Go build a few of those.

Own and use bitcoin it is not illegal or at least here in my country, I think also in the unitede states of America. Everyone has the right to issue his 'own' money.
However you can buy illegal stuff also with all the FIAT currencies, so your point is invalid.

Even though BTC is different at some points than the cash we are using in the restaurant - for instance -, the human nature is the same and people do illegal activity with or without BTC for various purposes and because of a big variety of reasons. I appreciate the effort you put into writing this thread but I think it will not be an effective attempt to break down illegal activity.

Nice speech.
You do however realize that cash (fiat) is worse than Bitcoin right? Bitcoin transactions are registered in a public ledger. Cash aren't shown anywhere. ...
(cash) It's worst for the various government but good for the criminal . In this case bitcoin is 100 times better than cash because all the transaction (as you said) it is permanently registered. However I think that with bitcoin you can do some good things and *if you want* also some bad things, it is not a problem of BTC but a problem of who use btc.

Sure. Why not? If it's good advice. He basically said "don't do illegal shit." That's pretty good advice.

The law changes so much that what is legal today can be illegal tomorrow. That said we all know that Bitcoin is anonymous only to a certain degree because if you're buying something in the internet you still have to provide your address to receive it and that's where you're vulnerable so I see no point in his preaching. Exactly. Legality does not equal legitimacy. Law fanboys lack reasoning skills to see that governments do not make laws solely based on moral grounds. First of all, they make laws to preserve their own power. The natural human state is freedom, not legality. ya.ya.yo!
