Why do you consider people who frequent the Silk Road to be scumbags?
- Nursie 14y agoI don't really, but I do find it amusing that the BTC fanatics try to push for mainstream acceptance, when what's actually happening is (predictably) it mostly gets used by the underground.
- duiker101 14y agoBecause usually it's people that do shady things, not bad things maybe, just things that people don't want you to see, no matter if it's just trading pot or else, or even if you have the best intentions. If you do need/want to hide something, people will assume you are doing something bad, and therefore you are a scumbag. Personally I don't care but this is how the world usually works.
- finnw 14y agoThat's why advocates of bitcoin (and tor) encourage everyone to use them for mundane things.
- 1337biz 14y agoIf you do need/want to hide something, people will assume you are doing something bad, and therefore you are a scumbag. This is sad. I don't buy into this "You don't need privacy if you have nothing to hide" argument. In my opinion OP was just trolling by wrapping up of a bunch of unrelated "things" in the statement.
- hamoid 14y agoEverybody wants to hide their passwords. Does that mean everybody is a scumbag?
