Eventually, you do need to complete the transaction in the real, right? These aren't virtual drugs. The FBI can pose as drug dealers, collect your bitcoins, and send agents to your door instead of drugs if you're in the US.
Bitcoins may be a better candidate for selling virtual goods like stolen credit card numbers, security exploits, and secrets. But even then the money/goods from cashing out bitcoins have to go somewhere. If some dude goes from broke to millionaire with a single large deposit and he's going to be on the fed's radar for life.
Wouldn't a libertarian dream be more along the lines of being able to buy drugs without needing tor & bitcoin to avoid legal restriction?
Really? It's a Libertarian's dream to have a site where you can buy drugs with a virtual currency? Please, troll, take your childish political insults to digg or reddit.
Libertarian dream? What? How about druggie dream?
Every Libertarian I know is in favor of decriminalizing most drugs but not a single one is a drug user himself.
Bye, bye Bitcoin!
If you want anything destroyed, get it involved in the American drug war. For further reading, please see Mexico.
like there's not a hundred sites where you can do that with US dollars...
Isn't calling this the Libertarian dream a bit of a strawman fallacy? The title is needlessly provocative and potentially insulting. It's an interesting enough topic/piece with out the political slander mixed in.
