Bitcoin will not succeed to the masses if the first thing someone hears is gambling or drugs. The Silk Road seizure was the best thing that ever happened to Bitcoin - it hurt the image temporarily, but in the long term Bitcoin without illegal narcotics is good for the success of Bitcoin. However, there are many gambling sites that are still in existence. For Bitcoin to succeed, we must get rid of these sites.

I have no problem with people spending their money to do illegal things if they choose to. It is true though that it's not good for bitcoin if the main thing people think about is drugs or gambling. I don't view it as a problem of drugs or gambling, people always use money for those type of things... the real problem I see is more businesses need to start accepting bitcoin and the user experience to use bitcoin needs to be simpler for the average person.

The problem with cheering the closing down of things you yourself do not believe in is that eventually they may very well choose to close down something you believe in. Majority rule is a slippery slope ie:
Two wolves and a sheep voting on whats for dinner.
Consider that Silk Road is like a hydra - cut off one head and ten will spring up to replace it. The human spirit is indomitable in the long run.
At this point bitcoin is indeed much like the Internet: full of drugs, porn, gambling. By the same reasoning then, the Internet should be forcefully shut down :-)

Bitcoin is labeled as shares, one complete share worth at least USD 70.00 (Now, at USD 120.00 at least)
Currently people trust no one can add the supply easily, also transparent and safe for illegal activities such as drugs. So the people just buy, sell , constructing a new complete share , run legal business as normal basis or even running Lady Killer(Casino name).
I think the bitcoin now solves the monitoring problem as the law enforcement now adapts the environment , they figured how to find the bad via the blockchain they made based on the source code of the bitcoin.org.

But this is no problem. Silk Road was different because at one point it was the only place where you could spend your coins (well, you could also get some alpaca socks too). Now tens or hundreds of clones may come to replace it, but bitcoin has grown too and there's plenty of places to spend your money. None of these new black markets will ever be the only place where you can buy something with bitcoin. So it doesn't matter that SR is replaced. The press won't make a fuss about it. |

The closing of SR is a good thing. Hopefully people will start seeing Bitcoin in a different light in the near future, rather than currency to buy drugs.
It's a good thing that a safe private market place for consenting adults was closed down by jack booted thugs? You need to see things beyond the prism of "is it good for Bitcoin's PR image?" |

Gambling is legal in a lot of countries, and in USA it's legal in a few states already like Las Vegas and New Jersey with others following suit.
The thing is, the govt issues big licensing fees to those that are licensed, whereas that is not likely happening with the bitcoin operated gambling sites so of course the govt opposes bitcoin gambling they are not getting a slice of the pie.
