    That's all the excuse the authorities need to start considering banning bitcoin. I just hope they ban vans and coffee shops at the same time as they are all obviously linked to organised crime.

    Yeah attack Bitcoin, take it down, it's not like alternatives will arise which may be are anonymous.

    At least with Bitcoin they can track addresses through the blockchain, if there is enough evidence that an address is involved in crime they have something to work from.
