Just one adjustment here. This is not "where this trend is going". This
not a trend at all. It's entirely analogous to the "hear mention of

This is hard fucking right-now reality, at least in the US. The pot has
been boiling for a long time now.

Silk road, Shrem, Localbitcoins-- all caught for doing things aside from just using bitcoin, yet all ignorantly championed by bitcoiners as "pioneers".
