Title: Why all the fear about buying BTC?
Post by: simplemechanic on June 09, 2013, 04:59 pm
BTC is a legitimate currency. You can use it to buy legal things or even as an investment. Even if LE can show that you bought BTC, they have to show that you used that BTC to purchase something illegal with it - which would be quite the task. Obviously if you're putting in thousands upon thousands of dollars into BTC, you'll have a harder time explaining yourself. But if you legitimately exchange $500 into BTC, transfer it to a diferent, and then say that you "forgot the password to the external wallet" is there any way that LE can do anything about it? Anonymous methods are great and all, but are non-anonymous methods all that worse for some reason?
