An old-fashioned, in-depth article on the rise and fall of Silk Road by Mike Powers, published by Granta Magazine is a must read for anyone with interest in Bitcoin. Powers also wrote a follow up piece on life after Silk Road for The Guardian. On another note, 30,000 Bitcoins seized by FBI as part of the Silk Road bust were auctioned and bought by Tim Draper, a partner with Draper Fisher Jurvetson, a venture capital partnership based in San Francisco Bay Area.
