Silk Road Takedown, Dread Pirate Roberts and BitMessage
The hosts revisit the Silk Road takedown, noting that the alleged founder, Ross Ulbricht, denies being the "Dread Pirate Roberts." They discuss the fishy details in the legal affidavits and the rising price of Bitcoin. Adam Curry recommends using BitMessage for secure communication, though he admits to occasionally forgetting to check his own messages.
