I find it funny that everyone I have spoken to that has recently been interested in and found out about bitcoin has no real idea as to why bitcoin was really started.
Most people believe it to be just a fad, that it was created so that there could be a currency system independent of the current markets, crazy stuff like that.
When in reality bitcoins, while not exclusively created for, are primarily used for purchasing illegal drugs online(silk road), though they have also been used to purchase firearms but this is not common, to give those purchasers anonimity and what better way than to create a anonymous currency free from manipulation of governments and the imf.
