On the 4th of March in Pakhuis de Zwijger we'll tackle one of the digital currency revolution's "dark sides," the notorious anonymous marketplace known as Silk Road, where both legal and illegal goods and services were exchanged for bitcoins.

Other controversial or banned marketplaces such as prediction markets (http://www.bitcoinwednesday.com/news/prediction-markets-and-the-blockchain/) are also on the agenda. Read Prediction Markets and the Blockchain (http://www.bitcoinwednesday.com/news/prediction-markets-and-the-blockchain/).
