Kids Are Using Bitcoin to Buy Fake IDs Online

[Fugofugo]

haha sometimes kids could be very creative, but actually the problem not in the coin

[BillieGin]

Back on my day, you just had to go to the bad part of town to get one. This seems safer.

Another scare tactic to keep the general public from using bitcoin.. truth is, more crime has been done with the American dollar then all other currency's combined

[Balls]

This is just scare tactics pure and simple. People will see the truth eventually.

OMG THE KIDS ARE BUYING FAKE IDS AND DRUGS SHOCK HORROR!

People fear what they don't understand and they don't seem to realise that though, and just believe bitcoin is being used to buy bad stuff without even thinking about all the bad stuff that is bought with regular cash every day.

[openyourmind]

well, okay. what's the difference, what do they spend them for? the main thing that they are involved in bitcoin community

[makebitcoin]

They could of just as easily bought on with cash. I don't see why they should of wrote an article about this.

Smart kids

[TheDoors]

Not the worst thing they can buy with money. The problem is not in bitcoin, but in their relations with parents and breeding. When I was a kid I didn’t have even a thought of buying beer, in their age id’s are the last thing to think about.

The media will try anything to put Bitcoin in a negative view. It's not like the kids don't buy fake IDs everyday using fiat. 

[cryptoanarchist]

The problem is that there aren't enough people selling quality fake IDs.

It's awesome. I love these kinds of articles.

The kinds of people who read The Atlantic will buy fewer Bitcoins. This is great news for me because, in general, I prefer that those people have as little economic power in the future as possible.

On the other hands, a bunch of kids who didn't already know just learned that Bitcoins are immediately useful to them.

Bitcoin is winning the hearts and minds of the next generation, while undermining the older generations who've spent their whole lives running up debts and starting wars all over the world.

[vipgelsi]

What a stupid idea.

[acs267]

So, in the news report they said people were offering discounts for buying fake ID's with Bitcoin?

Jeez, that's smart. Telling people that at first, you could buy it without Bitcoin. Which is certainly obvious. People have been doing it for years, yet, they wrote that to target XBT/BTC? When the article even states you could obviously buy it with fiat?

[romneymoney]

When I was in HS I had an legal age drunk friend who would buy anytime for a little tip.

A more concerning thing for me is the Military getting involved in video games to desensitize children to killing.
And throw on that offering college to 18 year old kids after a few years of becoming hired killers. (often times).
They should think of raising the minimum age of going in the military to 21, like alcohol. 

We have bigger worries than fake ID's...

IAS

You know, a few years back, the IDF (Israeli Defence Force) would find its potential fighter pilots in video game arcades.

They'd keep on the lookout for the top scorers and then offer them positions in the air force.

That doesn't shock me. "Victory" at all costs, just wonder for who, or is that what?

[Fatpony]

At least they are not ordering a contract killer to get rid of their math teacher.

This problem will be solved when there is no longer an infinite amount of fiat money being printed and shipped directly to military industrial complex war profiteers.

Please see Bitcoin vs. Political Power

P.S.
Did you know President Eisenhower warned America about the dangers of the military industrial complex?

Clearly inflating money at will is a form of slavery, just too bad people en mass don't understand banking. Bitcoin/Crypto is our chance...

Very familiar with Eisenhower's statement. My favorite is Kennedy's speech on Secret Societies (They) killed him a few weeks later.

That is another problem indeed. I've been looking around a bit, they are average quality at best. It's not like you can't really find a person who knows a person that can make these. There are a lot of them going around these days.

[fancyboy]

I believe it would cost much more coins than just fake id 
By the way, i never read an article about contract killers using bitcoin..
