Drugs, gambling...get hookers in there, and you'll have a legit currency. ;)

No, seriously, once a currency gets to the point hookers accept it, it's indisputable that it's real.




We're close. Online cam performers are taking bitcoins for sessions/requests. There's at least one subreddit for this, though I can't recall the name, having stumbled across it with the /r/random page.

It wouldn't surprise me if bitcoins were already being exchanged for escort service or some kind of "hookup" business via side channels already.

If someone did make an "Uber of prostitution," and avoided being shut down/eaten by the law/established interests, they'd probably become rich.
