Even if this was true, does it matter? At the end of the day, value is value. I know there's a lot of fatigue on HN about bitcoin stories from the initial spam when it first broke into the mainstream (well, the tech mainstream at least) but it really is a game changer IMO.
By the way, I have never owned any bitcoin. I just find it fascinating.
- jiggy2011 14y agoIt might matter. If the main incentive to buy bitcoin is to buy drugs and there is suddenly a crackdown from law enforcement you can expect the value to tank pretty fast.
- drewblaisdell 14y agoActually, I think law enforcement backing off of drugs (decriminalization, etc) would hurt bitcoin more than the opposite.
- jiggy2011 14y agoSure, but which is more likely to happen?
