Silk Road Forums

I say raise the bond and let vendors in.

We had piles of scammers before, buyers could manage their risk using feedback.

Vendors bring customers. Good vendors will thrive in the competition.

@DrWalterB... hello hun, hope you're good!

@Alfred..I'm very happy for you, look forward to hearing about your lovely time. 

@theman....hi    hope you're well also and ;life is being good to you!

Good evening to everyone else 

SR's weakness has always been its currency - no matter how well the site designers can insulate themselves from LE, if LE can shut down the life blood of the market (liquidity) then it's game over. It's just a hunch, but....what if the Feds are sitting on a huge pile of BTC - far larger than what they're currently letting on - that was seized in the initial SR shutdown, thus massively restricting BTC supply? This would explain why the BTC rate fell so modestly after its primary platform of exchange was taken out. Normally, you'd expect BTC value to have collapsed in such a circumstance, but it didn't. And of course all the post SR sites popped up, BTC quickly became relevant again....and now we see this huge spike.

I think the feds are behind this boom. They're artificially restricting supply, and are going to dump their BTC holdings (which I am speculating are much, much greater than what we think) that they seized in the SR takedown at a moment of their choosing, causing the BTC value to collapse. They're hoping this will destroy confidence in the currency once and for all - not an unreasonable assumption, either. One day 1BTC = $1300, the next 1BTC = $13. Whether this will work out in the longer term, who knows. But I can't think of a better reason why we're suddenly seeing this preposterous appreciation in the value of the currency. This is a bubble, folks. And our adversaries may well be the ones inflating it. In which case, they're also in possession of a large pin which they'll deploy when the time's right.

People talking about 1BTC being worth $5000 next month and $100000 next year, PULL YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASSES. Irrational exuberance. You sound like rubes. What's more, I think there's a very good chance you're being played by the feds. And if you have skin in the game, you're going to lose bigtime. Go do some research into bubbles; start with the Dutch Tulip Mania.

I had an ex gf get jealous cause a friend and me were eating a little more paper than the girls, and she stupidly took a 10 strip trying to keep up with the guys. We thought it was acid but we found out later it was DOB and i kinda suspected it wasnt acid cause it tasted really strong and made me puke up foamy stuff when i ate it once, but people would always just say "its just kinda dirty, etc". Anyway, we didnt really realize how fucked up she was till we found the half a sheet she took and hid, which was now just a few hits cut up all wierd, we figured she took around 10 based on what we all took, not sure what the dose per square was though. After that she shit herself and puked all over, (this was in a suite we had rented) the shitting herself and puking happened a few times throughout the night. As soon as we smellled the shit and seen the puke roll down her sweater, my friends started freaking out and they all left just me and her at the suite, my friend just said "sorry dude i dont know what to do" and he called my dad. My dad picked us up, not sure how i got her in the truck, she was all over the place blabbering and all shitty, uhh horrible memories. Anyway once we got home I started looking up on erowid what to do when someone eats too much acid, and it assured me she would come down and be fine, (this was with us assuming it was lsd, which it turned out it wasnt) I got off the computer and went downstairs thinking she was coming down a little, this was 12 hours in, as I approached my bedroom, i noticed she was no longer in bed, had stripped down, shit on my room floor and ran butt naked to the laundry room, where she stood staring at a wire coming outta the wall a long fuckin time, was doing this wierd hand motion like she was communicating with the wire or something. Later that day, nearly 24 hours after her dose, she was starting to talk again and look me in the eye, i got some downers from a friend, she ate em and started feeling better. We found out later that it was DOB, someone had been making a ton of white paper of it, like litterally huge sheets and spraying them down with dob. So ya coulda been alot worse, back then anything on paper that made ya trip was acid in my area, people in my area didnt know shit about rcs, if it was on paper and made ya trip, ppl would call it acid. If I woulda known it wasnt lsd though, I would have definitely called 911, and i would advise you to do the same, cause she prolly got lucky, and it gets worse before better, that shit lasts fucking forever, I will never touch it again in my life with a hundred foot poll. It was like lsd on steroids and meth, and the length, my god, the fucking length of the trip. Still makes me squirm thinking about that day, probation called me in for a ua and I had to take it still tripping on the stuff the next day, luckily she was just starting to come out of it when i got called in, and by come out of it, I mean "she was tripping normally finally". Back then we vowed to never touch lsd again, but after we found out it was dob, things started to make sense and we had good lsd experiences after, cause Ive seen people eat alot of acid, but nothing ever went that horribly wrong, what a "shitty" day, She had no recollection whatsoever of the experience, she said the last thing she remembered was drinking and talking about dosing and getting a suite. A few months later 10,000 days came out by Tool, could definitely relate to the lyrics in their song "Rosetta Stoned" about a psychedelic experience, "God damn, shit the bed...typical"  (The next day I had to go back and get her camera from the hotel,  the staff was irrate, charged a huge damage fee before giving the camera back. wow, the look on there face) This was prolly one of the worst, if not worst memory of my life, and Ive had some pretty bad ones, like I said if I could do it over again would have called 911 immediately after the shitting or finding out how much she ate, and if you ate a large amount of DOB, do the same, its a very unfun and dangerous ride....

There's an amazing new literary concept called Paragraphs, it breaks up a wall of text and makes it so much easier for the reader! 

Take a look at the statement from moderator device...

MESSAGE FROM MOD , DEVICE

 I have no idea man. The fucking admin has disappeared. All people thinking us fucking mods in on it and we had no idea. We have no access to anything at all. All we can do is ban users and delete forum posts. We also lost everything. Invested so fucking much. No job, no security, now in fucking huge debt all because of "honest" promise of pay. I stil have some kind of hope, but it's running out fast. I really really fucking hope this is just life problems for the admin team, but I have no idea. Thanks man for your support. This is a total fucking disaster though by the looks of it.

I'm so fucking sorry for everything I've said in the past. I got scammed just like every other fucking person. Scared for my fucking life now people trying to fucking dox us because they think we're in on it. Fucked up man fucked up.

What is Israel?
