>So even die hard libertarians who value personal freedom such as anonymity a great deal have to acknowledge that the real life consequences of exchanges like Liberty Reserve are a net negative to society.
I'm not sure I agree at all with this statement. Replace "liberty reserve" with Bitcoin and I certainly don't agree that it's a net negative to society.
Unless by "society" you mean the current status quo, in which case I'd agree but this changes the tone of your message significantly.

I think Bitcoin's extremely cool, and I think it will take off and increase in value, but it's not yet obvious if it will be a net positive or negative for the population as a whole.
