I'll rephrase my argument: given the vast demand for some people to do illicit transactions on the internet, an online currency (or more than one) will emerge to fill that need. So, given that, I think Bitcoin (or something like it) does realistically have a floor value, given its current front-runner stance. That may change, of course, if people choose a different currency, but that currency will be similar to Bitcoin in most, if not all, fundamental ways.
