Additionally Silk Road has been the one example of "bad things with Bitcoin" so as a news message this is good news for those that own Bitcoin, and Bitcoins image of legitimacy. This is the fact I am celibrating. The actual arrest and takedown are sad results of society and the fact that the owner wasn't hardcore paranoid enough, and I see no reason to celebrate that.
There are many alternative tor hidden drug-free markets portals that work well and use bitcoins/litecoins, Silk Road Market was just the biggest one. Regarding "Bitcoin image" vs. Silk Road, BTC is falling down significantly because of Silk Road market shutdown. From this point of view as a bitcoin owner, I am just loosing a lot of money :( (and this is the second time why I am loosing my money because of FBI/CIA actions, the first time it was because of megaupload.com shutdown, of course I had paid my megaupload lifetime subscription). -- _______________________________________________________________ [wilder@trip.sk] [http://trip.sk/wilder/] [talker: ttt.sk 5678]
