Check out this infographic that was linked in a NEWS.COM.AU article posted today. Some of it is right but the rest of it.... hmmm.

Game for the day - How many mistakes/inaccuracies/hyperbola can you count on this one image? Some are obvious, others are harder to spot.

this suggest a correlation between the value of bitcoin and silkroad.
I think it s a wrong assumption because:
when silk roads closed we get down 30% but only for a day. Then the 20x rally begins and we get arround 10% a day for a month or something.

For 2011 the X3 in value was due to a big media coverage probably not silkroad.

not saying it is not linked but certainly not as this graphic suggest.
my 2 cents

The cost of mediation increases transaction costs, limiting the
minimum practical transaction size and cutting off the possibility for small casual transactions

The entire thing is aspirational bs.

Silk Road, for the record, was mostly a joke. It never acquired any significant economic power, either in USD or BTC, and generally didn't count for much in any practical sense.

The most glaring one I saw was the year they said Bitcoin was first traded - 2006 ffs!!

Some people have no idea.

Oh that graphic is way off.

* Silk Road probably did $300-$400 Billion of revenue per year.
* Hit men can easily be found on the Dark Webs, usually for about $15-$30 depending if you have a coupon or not.
* They didn't mention child slave labor. I routinely hire 11 year old boys from Canada to mow my lawn.
