Bitcoin News
There has been much talk in the media recently about the arrest of Ross Ulbricht, the alleged operator of the infamous Silk Road marketplace. The initial reaction in the Bitcoin community was one of shock, and the price of Bitcoin dropped accordingly.
However, as the dust settled it became apparent that Bitcoin is now strong enough to survive this shock and other future ones to come.

Bitcoin may still be high-risk, but a customer base of legitimate start-ups and fewer drug lords probably bodes well.”
