silk coins
so silk road got shut down by the fbi the other day. good riddance. some people think this is going to be bad for bitcoin. and yeah the price dropped by percentages that would cause heart attacks, suicides, and homicides on wall street. but such swings are not all that unusual in the highly volatile digital currency. what's interesting is the fbi didn't try to shut down bitcoin. which would be kinda futile. take a look at the list of the top 100 supercomputers in the world. the bitcoin mining operation is bigger than all of them together. by a lot. like orders of magnitude. yeah. wrap your brain around that one. okay so now your gray matter is all warmed up and stretched and ready. this thought should slip right in like a glove on a (an alleged) murderer's hand. why would the fbi shut down bitcoin? every transaction ever made using bitcoins is a matter of public record. the fbi doesn't need a search warrant or permission or oversight or anything. it's like a wet dream currency for the g men. if you ask an fbi agent which would be harder to trace, a stack of cash, or a wallet of bitcoins. they gonna pick the crypto nuggets. guaranteed.
