I've never yet had a drug dealer who took bitcoin.

That's because money still exist. The discussion is about a cashless society.

You know, you say that... But many of them do. Take a look at the "Silk Road" an onion site dedicated to this very concept. People buy and sell drugs using bitcoins.

Crazy world, eh?

I wasn't counting the Silk Road because the Silk Road as an entity crashed and burned last year and has yet to be replaced by a reputable website of similar purpose. I stand by my previous statement, which is to say that I have never met a single pot dealer in the flesh, who I bought from, who took bitcoins. Maybe someday. Not today.
