Hi all , just noticed that bitcoins are now up to roughly £92 . how does this effect silk rd ? Do we as customers have to wait on vendors adjusting their prices individually or is there some kind of mechanism that does it automaticaly . A few weeks ago they were £77 , thats quite a difference for buyers . Do the vendors have "oil company syndrome" where prices never come down but only go up ?

Some vendors tie their prices to the market value in USD which means that the site changes the price automatically and others do it manually so it just depends who you're buying from.
90% of vendors do adjust based on BTC value though. Otherwise people wouldn't buy from them, they'd buy from the cheaper alternative.

Well then it seems mmj vendors haven't noticed how much a btc is worth today... the prices are simply outrageous !
