question about the FBI bitcoins from Silkroad

[mskryxz]

I know they have the bitcoins.

My question is, does the FBI/Govt have access to move them around or are they still locked out since it is encrypted?

I always hear mixed stories on the forums or on reddit that yes it has moved around or no they don't have access.

So what is it?

what was wrong with Silk Road?  why did they have to shut it down?


don't we as a country need *some* kind of a system for drug distribution?

or did they just do it to spike the price of bitcoin

We already have one. And that works fine for many people. Not so fine for others. I'm not sure though if necessarily bitcoins are traceable.

It wasn't to spike the price of bitcoins though. It's just the same reason they bust criminals in real life. It's not about profit, but stopping people doing things which are illegal.

You have to abide the law as well.

You're right, you are, still doesn't mean you have the right to break the law that can cause others disparity. Just because you are a citizen doesn't make you above everyone else

Well, your arguing about weed. I'm not. A case can be made for marijuana sure, but we're talking about other things silk road was doing

Depends on your state laws, weed is slowly becoming more accepted and that's fine by me.

But if you were a responsible adult, you wouldn't need to smoke weed to find satisfaction in life.

lol, that's why man invented beer j/k

Anyways. Silk Road got shut down because they were trafficking hitmen, forgery papers, illegal customs goods, every drug known to man, firearms, and a whole shit ton of other incredibly illegal shit.

gaming gives me headaches.  anything with 3D..  and candy crush sucks.  i prefer TV and mining 

Candy crush ain't gaming, it's a time waster. Skyrim, CS:GO, CS 1.6, BF4 and so on is.

[Kungfucheez]

all that stuff will eventually work itself out.  and morals will *ALWAYS* win

lol now that's just funny 

But anyways, no one says you can't enjoy herb, just buy it the old fashioned way like most people do. Plus the legality of it is slowly becoming diminished as more states Decriminalize it so you shouldn't worry in the first place if you want to smoke bud
