Out of interest, is it dangerous to publicly state that you buy drugs with BTC (with or without personally identifying information attached)?

As in, is it likely that someone would/could be targeted by law enforcement because of that, and could a comment like that be used in court?

Meh. If they wanted to they could fine me ten bajillion dollars for having a pirated version of Zootopia on my harddrive.

I guess my words could bite me in the ass but I am fairly confident as a non-dealer I'm not exactly a target. Probably on a radar for when the Fed runs out of Big Fish, but for now probably fine.

Forever is what you need to worry about since you’ve posted this on the internet, not for now.

Who wants to live forever, if love must die?

But given the now rather excessive cost and/or slowness involved in bitcoin transactions these days, it seems inevitable that it’ll be ousted by some other crypto currency in the illegal markets.

Yeah but your a small minority compared to the people using it as a means to speculate and trade. For the vast majority of buyers its pruelly investment into something they will never use beyond trading it back into cash.

Well that vast majority has no idea the wonderful drugs they are missing out on! ;P
