Wiki, you know the Silk Road bust was front page on the FT?

The article itself went a little into concerns of its survival, talked about illegal activities, etc., etc., same cookie-cutter story as every major news source has been about bitcoin.

How much does it make you smile that this made front page news?

I like it for two reasons:

1) It spreads the word on bitcoin while...

2) also making it "seem" like the underground drug economy is gone.

In other words, with the SR gone, people now won't automatically associate bitcoins with drugs, however, we all know that there will still be online black markets available.

So essentially, this does bitcoin a favor by helping to keep the public perception to one of a more legitimate currency.
