Ha, isn't alcohol illegal for under 21s, AKA most college students? I'd be stunned if there isn't a way to buy drugs on campus too.

- leorocky 13y agoYes it's probably a tiny minority who buy it through off campus drug dealers and friends. Such as there are drug dealing trends, they will happen across MA, New England and the general area and will happen regardless of bitcoin experiments at MIT. I'm rolling my eyes at this notion of a single purpose black market, hidden in the depths of the halls of MIT, the ire of faculty and administrators alike. It's such a silly idea. Might make a great young adult novel plot though.

- atmosx 13y agoSo MIT alumni selling drugs, will accept illegal transactions which are displayed on a virtual leather board where everyone has access and can never be erased? I would expect MIT students to be smarter than that. Not to mention that most students will prefer to pay in USD than BTC. ps. Bitcoin as a form of payment, has a really questionable success. If a virtual currency is going to be accepted by the public, will have to be state-backed in some way. So bitcoin as a currency, might be (extremely) interesting, but I'm sure 100% it will never be able to replace FIAT in it's current form.
