Crazy shit: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fi9lPxN1.png&t=665&c=UhQkYbw2LtVErQ) This makes me think they were investigating SR rather casually. If I was a narc I could find DPR in 20 minutes if he made such flagrant errors.

We don't need murderers paying for "clean" or "un-clean" hits in BTC. What a piece of shit. As many stated here, the fact he was caught is a good thing.

Has anybody posted "THIS IS A GOOD THING" yet?
I've read that already somewhere around, one claimed that he didn't wanted btc associated with SR, to be honest I feel the same way. How do you feel about cash being associated with buying weed? Or cocaine? Maybe you should tell those folks you don't like your dollars being associated... bottom line is currency will be used to purchase items. I am sorry but this post is way off the mark and poor attempt at explaining your position. It is out of context. One does not think anyone who has cash is automatically a criminal, but those who are uneducated think if you have a bitcoin you are a criminal. Why is this? If you search bitcoin you will found tons of media coverage on the criminal use of bitcoin, and find very little info on legitimate ways to benefit from the currency, unless you dig deeper. So on the surface this is the general perception of bitcoin, but this is not the perception of cash in most cases. So although they have many similarities as far as a currency goes, the public perception of these 2 currencies are not the same. So yes I would like that perception to change and if it doesn't the bitcoin your holding will never be worth much more than it is now.

There is nothing inherently wrong with what SR was doing - what's wrong is the overstepping of jurisdiction by the US, crushing personal freedoms and enforcing lifestyle mandates as well as long term incarceration for voluntary behaviors. If no one was buying anything, what's the point of a medium of transfer? Let people buy what they want, so long as they aren't bothering you. SR wasn't just a boon to BTC, it was a boon to the world, circumventing tyrannical oppression of lifestyle mandate... Hell, our tax -dollars- buy bombs and murders all day, far more than have ever even been considered to purchase with coin, I don't see enough people complaining to those ordering the hits.. Are you seriously supporting SR? Your opinion might change if your kids were hooked on drugs. Society has rules to keep the strong from preying on the weak. Yes, it's a very flawed system but a necessary one. Would you really want to live in a world where it's ok to buy a contract to murder someone because they upset you. I wouldn't.

Well, I personally don't have anything against drugs, while I would never engage any activity that could get me in jail: not only because of self-protection, also because I would never do that to my kids and family. That said, I have a lot against cold blooded murders who hire hitmans and pay upon receival of a picture of a corpse. That's disgusting. Honestly: if that's true, may he rot in jail forever.

Probably a good time to sell, speculation-wise...
Or to buy ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Let's see how good our forecasting skills are. Short term it's a definite sell. The number of people who haven't heard this story yet is high, and the number whom it will make very nervous is also high ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Public perception can change and uneducated or educated people tend to follow like sheep. So if the perception was positive, you can bet your ass things would change.

That we can wait and see if bitcoin has legs and can withstand SR failing overnight? +1 I believe the downfall of SR removes a common critic of bitcoin that it facilitates "illicit" trade. By showing that bitcoin is not the ideal tool for tax evasion or drug dealing but simply a tool for people to transact on their own terms, this event is a positive milestone. Bitcoin is growing up and there is always a sense of loss in the process but it's the price to pay for it to become really big..
