> Now that everyone sees they can be confiscated just like real currency, though, the price is half what it was

The price briefly for a few days hit almost twice the current price seven months ago. Since then, it has also been worth almost half the current price.

Right now, BTC is trading at its 25 day moving average.

Though about a year ago the price was at $11, and prior to that it was stable at $4 for quite some time.

Yes, indeed. It's seen some spectacular moves, but it's not a very solid narrative that the SilkRoad shutdown has harmed BTC substantially.

The fact it is averaging $130 up from $11 is an indicator of it's wild success. Adding it's stability in the face of SR being shut down which is also pretty amazing.

All these people who keep trying to say BTC is a failure keep getting proven wrong.
