2013-11-15 Metro (UK) - Teen dies on Skype after buying drugs on Silk Road

[Morbid]

i think what OP meant to pass on to us is that despite negative media coverage that bitcoin had previously, its not there anymore. if media was against the currency they would definitely use this opportunity to slag bitcoin off by emptying a poo bucket all over the name - they chose not to.

what? Silk Road is mentioned in the title of the article.. you know, it's tying this kid's death to the silk road. and silk road uses bitcoin.. it's negative press for BTC.

ok its press. but it could be written in much more obvious way than this. average parent wont have clue that silkroad and bitcoin are somehow connected.

A half gram really shouldn't have killed him, I've met people that have done a gram throughout a night.

But lets be honest, what a way to go out?  Talk about a super candyflip, .5 of molly and 3 tabs of acid, you're practically already dead (ego wise).  Have fun in heaven dawg, see you soon.

it probably depends on how much tolerance the user has. the people who have done half a gram per night.. how much were they doing it before?

I thought he said it was his first time but maybe that guy did methylone instead of mdma.  Which seems even more dangerous honestly.

Have they confirmed it wasn't a bath salt RC?

(bitcoin is not mentioned)

At least bitcoin isn't directly demonized in this article as it is in so many others about underground tor markets.
