DPR is a hero!

[genjix]

DPR is a visionary and trend setter. His frugal existence show his motives as an ideologue. You can't imprison an idea. Long live the Silk Road.

+ 1 million.     Lived in a apartment with roommates. It was never about the money. I will be donating to his legal fund.

Living with others might of been part of how he got caught as well.

I belive they are saying this in order to "spice" things up for the media and for people to look at him worser than he already is, also there is a rumour saying the guy getting whacked has 3 kids and a wife, but then yet, they say that to make the story more worser than it already is. I hope he gets out of jail, he has finsihed college twice and has extreme wits to proceed in a life other than this. Screw the FBI and I hope they dont mess up, they should be looking out after the cyber terroists and prevent possible future mass shootings.

He didnt ruin anyone life. People who own themselves should be able to decide what they put inside themselves. The people who put others in cages and take away their lives are the criminals.

They take fathers from their children and remove the financial support to them.

Saying that a substance is illegal is the government saying you dont own yourself we own you and we will decide what you can and can not do.

The draft is a great example of that..We own your life and will dispose of it as we see fit.

We already know anarcho-capitalists believe assassination is justified provided it doesn't violate their "non-aggression principle".

Assassination Politics by Jim Bell

A few months ago, I had a truly and quite literally "revolutionary" idea, and I jokingly called it "Assassination Politics": I speculated on the question of whether an organization could be set up to legally announce that it would be awarding a cash prize to somebody who correctly "predicted" the death of one of a list of violators of rights, usually either government employees, officeholders, or appointees. It could ask for anonymous contributions from the public, and individuals would be able send those contributions using digital cash.

I also speculated that using modern methods of public-key encryption and anonymous "digital cash," it would be possible to make such awards in such a way so that nobody knows who is getting awarded the money, only that the award is being given. Even the organization itself would have no information that could help the authorities find the person responsible for the prediction, let alone the one who caused the death.

It was not my intention to provide such a "tough nut to crack" by arguing the general case, claiming that a person who hires a hit man is not guilty of murder under libertarian principles. Obviously, the problem with the general case is that the victim may be totally innocent under libertarian principles, which would make the killing a crime, leading to the question of whether the person offering the money was himself guilty.

On the contrary; my speculation assumed that the "victim" is a government employee, presumably one who is not merely taking a paycheck of stolen tax dollars, but also is guilty of extra violations of rights beyond this.

I actually can't believe some of you guys are defending him.

Yes, Americas Favorite Drug Dealer, at least he aint mexican, and wears tatoos an hangs with his thug buddies who are in matter in fact , college graduates with a degree in chemical science.

You spelled "champion of murder" wrong. HTH.

To protect truly innocent people he made a threat.

Fuck you!

To protect his revenue stream, you mean. This is just another drug baron scumbag trying to protect his illegal business. May he rot in jail.

Learning who the statist are in this community.. People who are in it for the money dont live in an apartment with roommates. I have been to jail I wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy.

This is a bitcoin foundation member and thinks DPR should rot in prison. I guess we know what your motivation is and it aint freedom. I would venture to say you are the greedy one who is only thinking of themselves.

No friend of mine.

Id bet he had the most expensive parties with his friends and hired escorts in his shared apt

Living with other same minded ppl in the same place isnt really that bad when youre a millionaire I'd imagine

He only lived in an apartment because he wanted to stay below the radar and couldn't launder all his money.

[CorvusCorax]

Drug use leads people to ruin, and DPR facilitated that. Forgive me if I don't agree that his actions were "heroic".

Add to that the fact that his site did a lot to make Bitcoin out to the mainstream media, law enforcement and the general public as a tool for the criminal element and not as a legitimate currency, and I think it is better for Bitcoin that he's out of the way.

Yep, he should certainly rot in prison if he attempted to have someone murdered. He wasn't in it for the money? No doubt then you can point us to the charities he donated his profits from the site to?

Watching the PR job he pulled on the naive members of the drug-meets-bitcoin world was funny. Even funnier to watch some of you still buy into it. You are a PR flack's wet dream.

My motivation is to see bitcoin gain mainstream appeal, which requires the buy-in of a huge variety of existing institutions. Drug barons bragging in Forbes about their illegal business transacting solely in bitcoin does not help, at all.

That's ok. I don't hang out with extremists.

Hallmark of a statist is calling people who advocate for freedom extremist.

So bitcoin and tor will remove violence from the drug trade? Rubbish.

You are just inputting more harsh words to make it more worser than it seems

I don't think you even know what you mean when you say freedom.

Oh hey, look, this is the 2nd time the scumbag tried to have someone murdered.

Anyone painting him as a hero is just sick.

And he was the CEO of Good Wagon Books, a non-profit that picks up used books and other junk from your house and donates it to prison libraries and such.
