It shows the unfortunate state of the /r/bitcoin community though, it's the
second most upvoted post this week about fear of a colour or name.

No one has posted their own decentralised market showing where they've made
improvements and called it whatever they want.

What else are we going to call a product that can most likely be used for
"illicit purposes"? "Silk Road" sounds like a nice name for a website
pre-2011, reminding people of the cultural trade route.

Even if DarkMarket was called "Lovely Butterfly Road" it would probably
eventually be tainted bad by the media.
