    I didn't read that comment as hate. The rise of Bit Coin is absolutely fueled by criminal activity. Bitcoins utility in facilitating illegal drug purchases is possibly its greatest asset. As long as people want to buy drugs on the internet and use Bitcoin to do it, the BC value will rise. Can you imagine if Bit Coin becomes the most popular way for people to buy prescription medications from other countries? It would be a necessary to people as Western Union is now.

      The rise of bitcoin is fueled by investment speculation. There are other coins much better suited for buying drugs online.

        What is the best crypto-currency for illegal activity today?
    • arisAlexis 9y ago
      There is an EU study online recent that says digital currency is not used much for illegal activity

  I used some bitcoin in place of a wire transfer last week. It worked well. Amazing what air can do these days!

    Given the fees now required to get anything through the network, was it actually worth it? A SEPA transfer is normally free these days (though not sure what the status of wire transfers in the US is).
