Drugs.
I feel like I'm making the same comment on any of these articles, so I'll just post this one word from now on.
You can't buy drugs without bitcoin. A significant portion of all bitcoin transactions in the world are going to Russian drug marketplace Hydra. This forces bitcoin on many, many people who are not technology or finance enthusiasts, but just want to make a transaction.
- wmeredith 5y ago> You can't buy drugs without bitcoin This is patently false. It also doesn't even make sense to say. Bitcoin is not anonymous, I'm not sure how this misunderstanding stays alive considering that it's the exact opposite of that. All transactions and wallet ID's are stored in the blockchain forever.
- elorant 5y agoMost drug transactions are made offline. People who regularly buy drugs have a trusted source with whom they transact for years.
- golergka 5y agoWell, I guess it differs by country. I haven't heard of anyone meeting someone in person to buy drugs for about 5 years now. It something that doesn't happen around here anymore.
- RIMR 5y agoBuddy, I buy drugs all the time, and never have I ever needed a bitcoin.
