Re: bitcoins

silk road would have been fantastic - but now the government are all over it;
seems way to risky - unless of course you are outwith those legal boundaries

Re: bitcoins

If anyone can post me a direct link to this website that I can buy high quality drugs online and not have to deal with some two faced back stabing bastard please do.
