I just noticed that there are 5 votes in Dark Web Shopping. What is this anyway? Are this activity are present in those deep websites? Is this illegal? Is bitcoin really accepted by those shops?

Do not use your bitcoins in Dark Web. Do not feed the illegal network with bitcoins. This activity damage it. Is this use of bitcoin that make that most of the important people that make decisions in our countries define bitcoin as dirty currency.

Look up "Silk Road". It's illegal if what you're buying is illegal. Some of the shops (like Silk Road) only take Bitcoin.

Out of curiosity Ive made a little search for it and it's close now but still transactions there are still continue maybe in other way. I just wondered what items or things that those 5 voters are purchasing there with their bitcoins.

Definitely will not use it for those purposes. Besides I don't know how to access those deep websites even Google tell me how to do. It's just that I don't want to try even my curiosity always asking me to have a look at that world lol.

Mostly illegal stuffs; illegal porn, illegal drugs, illegal fire arms, warez and carded & carding related stuffs. I've been there on some black markets out of curiosity and all you can see were illegal shits but of course I never attempted to purchase any of them cuz of only two possibilities; you'll either be scammed or be jailed Grin They do all accept bitcoin as a payment cuz of its "anonymous" nature.

P.S. It's not advisable to go in any dark web sites without any safety measures. Browse there at your own risk

If you look at the trial info for "Ross Ulbricht" you will find lists of what was available for purchase. The items sold were no different than what you would find at a Friday night party at any university in the US. 30 years ago at a party, when I was in college, there was an ROTC guy selling primer cord and C4. You used to be able to buy anything at school. The deep web is probably where young university entrepreneurs buy their product. lol

I remember asking the kid why anyone would buy C4. He told me some guys like to go out in the woods and blow up trees for fun. I guess that's why they like to join the military. It gives them a legal outlet to blow shit up and kill things.

Yeah I encountered that name while ago while searching for "Silk Road". Coindesk has many articles and news about him.

What a story. Im really much curios now about the activities in deep web. Right now Im reading some of the news about it. What a world. Can't imagine there is something like that in the other part of the web.

When I originally got into Bitcoin it was purely for speculation and as an investment. I enjoyed being able to trade it on exchanges without the strict rules and regulations that other exchanges have. Then I began to make purchases with it when the price settled down and I saw how amazingly simple and easy to use Bitcoin is. Every day that goes by I continue to see additional use cases created for Bitcoin. What an exciting time to be alive.

Bitcoin got its first big break because of people using it on the darknet and if it wasn't for people still using it on the darknet it probably wouldn't be worth as much as it is now and without it we would be much worse off. We cant be held responsible for what people use it on or what the ignorant think of it either nor should we care. If its going to be seen as a viable currency then people are going to use it for everything good or bad and whether you like it or not.

I have the idea about activities in deepweb but not it involve bitcoin. All I know in deepweb is that you can't access it freely because underground transactions are there like drugs trading, weapon trading and even hiring a gunman Shocked .

I 'use' BTCitcoin to get paid for the drawings I make, it is fun to get requests and get rewarded with some coins, got some pretty nice requests and responses, like "draw me with bear and steak"   Grin

Currently saving for a GTX 750ti OC edition and gonna buy it at Newegg sometime in November to add up in my arsenal of gaming. Since it is a year of profit (for me), I think I should reward myself by buying another card for my rig. Cheesy

I save bitcoin for my future. I strongly believe that investing in biotcoin would make me a millionaire in one or two years. Because bitcoin has showed some unimaginable past records of highest growth over time. So, I use bitcoin for saving purpose like many other people doing here.

Believing in Bitcoin is good. But I would think long term and not just for a time period of 2 years or so. You won't get rich in that short time.In 10-15 years you can be right with your prediction.So take your time!

What an optimistic you are. I like your fighting spirit. Smiley But you know optimistic alone is not enough to have your future thoughts come true.

Anyways if you don't use bitcoin regularly like spending them when needed and they just in your wallet then good for you since your coins are just saved and waiting for possible price kick.

Do you use Bitcoin at least once a month? What do you actually use it for? Why? Is it better, cheaper, faster, more convenient than alternatives? Is it the only option?

Using btc for shopping, actually i save btc then once the price gets high i exchange it woth usd and make profit =more money for shopping.
I would like to buy directly with bitcoin but I don't know a trustable site that offers this option for payment and can send goods internationally. If you know one share it please.

Same insights regarding to the future of bitcoin Smiley I am also looking forward that bitcoin will make me a millionaire (or maybe a billionaire Grin ) in the near future but not that early, maybe 5-10 years from now Cheesy You're probably holding lots of BTC right now so you can see yourself being a millionaire in one or two years time Cheesy Bitcoin is our future Roll Eyes

Currently the biggest usage for my bitcoins is Savings. I've been religiously saving small amounts of bitcoins recently in semi cold-storage just to build a small stash Smiley
Secondarily I use bitcoins for digital goods, accounts and games.

Exactly. People who hoarded gold since 80's and 90's really made bank. Bitcoin has potential but it is really long term.
