“In May 2013, through an interagency taskforce led by ICE in Baltimore, Maryland, three U.S. bank accounts associated with what was then the world’s largest bitcoin exchanger, Japan-based Mt.Gox, which was moving approximately $60 million per month into a number of Internet-based hidden black markets operating on the Tor network, including Silk Road, were seized for violations of 18 U.S.C. § 1960, operating a money service business in the United States without a license. The bulk of the funds were associated with the illicit purchase of drugs, firearms, and child pornography.”
A good friend of mine has a theory of how we use "negative entropy" sources to help us more easily get things done. An example of a "negative entropy" source are words that create a strong emotional response, like those shown in bold above. His theory is that we will use these words (neg-entropy) to dump entropy into until we've extracted all of the useful work from the source. At this point, these words actually begin to have the opposite effect on the public as they once did. I think we are at that point already. Whenever I hear "terrorist," "drugs," "money laundering," or "child porn" my instant emotional response is against the person who is trying to use these words to advance their agenda. it's not a theory it's a fact. Just watch what is going on with "porn filter" in UK. They already blocked a several torrent sites and even some normal education sites under the porn filter rule. |

I am so fucking pissed at this bitch right now. She could as well ask for banning all fiat money because dealers on the streets use it... Some people are insanely idiots.  Dude, she just lost her son, of course she will be irrational. Don't blame her for having emotions, blame the idiots that overreact to this shit, i.e. politicians and the media. |

That's my response too, but only because i took the effort to see through the propaganda and manipulation. I don't think the general public is at that point yet. |

An adult, capable of making his own decisions without any influence from anyone else decided to use an anonymous website to buy his cocaine with bitcoin instead of driving to his local crack alley to buy some. I'm sure this was the first time he had ever decided to use? I'm sure he had never done anything like this before? It's only because of bitcoin he turned to doing drugs right? |

I'm sure this was the first time he had ever decided to use? I'm sure he had never done anything like this before? It's only because of bitcoin he turned to doing drugs right? Are you saying I'm saying it's because of bitcoin, or she is saying it's because of bitcoin? I never said anything like that. I, as a completely rational, outside observer, can easily see bitcoin is not at all to blame. You, as a completely rational, outside observer, can also. She, however, is incapable of being rational due to the loss of her son, and needs something to focus on other than maddening grief. Bitcoin became that focus. It's irrational, but it doesn't make her an idiot. It makes her human. Cut her some slack, and blame the people who deserve it: politicians kowtowing to the irrational rantings of a grieving woman to get votes, and the media for exploiting said irrational woman to get ratings/fulfill an agenda. As for him being 21, totally irrelevant to my argument. Your kids don't matter less to you, nor does it hurt less to lose them, simply because they're adults. To blame this woman is to lose focus on what is really important: politicians and the media sucking balls. |
