Cbeat, I have seen lives ruined by drugs. By and large it's alcohol that ruins lives and families. Silk road didn't sell alcohol.

The history of drugs and their impact on mankind is really quite simple: they're totally bad. Nothing good about them. -- NotLambchop

Is that big purple line the one that made me think taking my pants off in public was a good idea?

Silk road didn't sell alcohol.

Really? How come? Traditional dark markets sell alcoholic drinks since some governments put tremendous amount of special taxes on them and/or strictly forbid selling home made liquors (and/or even forbid/limit that process in any form).

Tossing a cupful of shredded steel wool over a computer's motherboard may have a similar effect.

If a computer could feel, it would thank you for doing so.

I mean seriously, folks complaining about a criminal drug dealer getting arrested. Maybe you never had a relative die from addiction.

I have seen "drugs" ruin the lives of several young guys and their families.  "Drugs" meaning, to be explicit, those "friends" who push people into drug addiction, and the drug dealers who then exploit their addiction and push them into crime to support it.

I am all for legalizing pot and decriminalizing drug use.  But still I hope that Shrem, Ulbricht, Benthall, and all otehr people in the drug traffic "industry" will spend a good part of their lives in jail.

But as you know, it does not solve anything (apart from apparently feeling short term good about it). Making it illegal by regulation, just makes it go underground: the new Ulbrichts and Benthalls are just waiting in line. Providing schooling, jobs, education has far better results, and keeps these guys out of business.

Maybe some regulators actually learned from this, and try to not make the same mistake with Bitcoin. /naive mode off

By the way, the absence of Adam starts to be worring. Maybe we get stuck with this halloween poll 4ever and eva

Yeah.. maybe the wife threw Adam's computer down the stairs, discontinued the internet connection, and banned Adam from participating in bitcoin communications?

Trolls don't like chemical drugs, they prefer trolling

I think it is time we start a speculation topic about the whereabouts of Adam. This is a serious push back on the current upswing.

Probably due to the profit/weight ratio - mdma/pills/coke etc, are easier to transport, and for more money.

Well, this thread seems to allow nearly any topic anyhow, so may as well speculate herein about the whereabouts of Adam.  To build on my theory, I suspect he could be either tied up or otherwise restrained, and that he continues to struggle to restore some internet access and struggles to retain control over all of his private keys (while maintaining some secrecy over the exact quantity and location of the coins that he holds.. muhahahaha).

Adam is busy making sr3. I miss his pictures. And yes, it's weird to have all these pro government, anti-(illegal) drug trolls in here.

I'm going to say he was a SR top10 vendors and is now on the run in South America

He wrote some about his personal affairs a while back.  I don't think we would help him by discussing them here.

Perhaps.

Who said anything about referring to reality regarding the whereabouts of Adam?

On the other hand, if we are speculating about the walls of bitcion, that is another story, we need to have some grounding in reality.  IMHBO
