The only reason bit coins are going up is because of SILKROAD PERIOD! Tens of thousands of dollars are bought everyday throughout the world everyday. If the speculators dropped out the price would continue to rise forever because all the druggies want to do is convert fiat to btc get their drugs and be done. But seeing there are a bunch of big time speculators manipulating the price, they will just keep taking all the drug money that continuously pours in to market. Up and down up and down. There is no chart or analysis STOP!

And what are the drug dealers gonna do with the coins, if this is the only thing? Cashing in for dollars. Thus the prices wouldn't increase that much.
No, there is more demand than just some shady underground business.

Even if that was the SOLE use for Bitcoin's actual value (outside of speculation), that alone would be able to drive the price up well higher than its been already.

That's what I thought. In 2011, a statement like "The entire Bitcoin economy rests on Silk Road" would be about 98% true. OP, either get with the times, or get back in the DeLorean: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.profilesinhistory.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2012%2F10%2Fbacktothefuture-delorean.jpg&t=665&c=km8-pTp4GQrUwQ)

This is obviously stupid, buuut... There is some truth to this. Since every trader wants a margin, it's likely that each leg of a round trip of the silk road money is actually raising the price per coins, slightly. The more something is useful, the more it's worth, the more interested society becomes, the more money people will pay for coins..
So it's the biggest exxageration I'll see today, but it's partially true, IMO

Wrong. Silkroad is a TINY fraction. Most druggies can't even turn on a computer let alone get a btc wallet and start up tor.

You are either stupid or high on silk road drugs. Where are your statistics that prove that silk road sales make up the majority of the bitcoin economy? O W8 U DONT HAEV ANY Back in the delorean, dude.
