Title: Banker Interested in Bitcoin, Wants to talk with Satoshi Post by: BrightAnarchist on September 30, 2010, 02:04:21 AM For those that remember, I got my Bitcoin article published this month @ elliottwave.com
In any event, it has had the effect of drawing some new users to btc. I also got this email recently in response to it: "I found the info on Bitcoin rather interesting! Can you please give me the contact info for Satoshi Nakamoto of Bitcoin? Thanks! Stephen Lange Ranzini President & CEO University Bank* Ann Arbor, MI USA" 2 things: 1) What is Satoshi's email? I should put the two in contact. 2) Also, who is the Bitcoin blogger? I would like to get my article re-posted there to help it circulate the net. Title: Re: Banker Interested in Bitcoin, Wants to talk with Satoshi Post by: Anonymous on September 30, 2010, 02:52:52 AM Do you think bankers understand a decentralised currency ?
It would be nice if at least one bank offered credit cards you could fill up with bitcoins. :) Title: Re: Banker Interested in Bitcoin, Wants to talk with Satoshi Post by: kiba on September 30, 2010, 02:54:49 AM Do you think bankers understand a decentralised currency ? It would be nice if at least one bank offered credit cards you could fill up with bitcoins. :) I thought bankers are superconservative folks that would never go near something like bitcoins. Of course, I was wrong.

My search skillz do not turn up anything on this forum or google. Title: Re: Banker Interested in Bitcoin, Wants to talk with Satoshi Post by: TTBit on September 30, 2010, 04:18:17 AM It's not publicly available. That's why I want to repost it on Bitcoin Blogger... just need to figure out how to contact the owner since there's no contact info on the page. jimbobway profile:http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=325 Title: Re: Banker Interested in Bitcoin, Wants to talk with Satoshi Post by: jimbobway on September 30, 2010, 04:51:26 AM I am bitcoinblogger.com. Just send me a PM. Thx.
Title: Re: Banker Interested in Bitcoin, Wants to talk with Satoshi Post by: grondilu on September 30, 2010, 04:56:59 AM Why does he want to talk to Satoshi ??
Didn't he understand that this is a decentralized system, and that no one rules it ? What an arrogant attitude to think that, because he is a banker, he should talk directly to the initiator of the project !

Didn't he understand that this is a decentralized system, and that no one rules it ? What an arrogant attitude to think that, because he is a banker, he should talk directly to the initiator of the project ! Good point, but I can understand why a banker would want to talk to the creator of a project. I could think of a few good reasons...

Of course, I was wrong. The same superconservative folks that dumped tons of money into subprime mortgages? ;) Title: Re: Banker Interested in Bitcoin, Wants to talk with Satoshi Post by: chaord on September 30, 2010, 06:45:01 AM he's probably going to ask Satoshi, "So, can you rig this with a nice backdoor for us?" or "Bitcoins at $0.06/coin are more than we're willing to pay. How about we fund you to start a new network with a block reward of 51 coins every 9.5 minutes?" lol....either that or maybe he'll go rogue and want to help us ;)

What could go wrong? ;) Title: Re: Banker Interested in Bitcoin, Wants to talk with Satoshi Post by: grondilu on September 30, 2010, 08:13:08 AM Groovy, so I sent Satoshi's email address to the banker ... hopefully Satoshi will enlighten us if anything develops. I'm pretty darned curious as to what the heck a banker would want with Bitcoin ... Unless he wants to buy Satoshi's bitcoins, I'd say he just didn't understand how bitcoins works and wanted some explanations.

Title: Re: Banker Interested in Bitcoin, Wants to talk with Satoshi Post by: Timo Y on September 30, 2010, 09:19:13 AM We should give him the benefit of the doubt. We shouldn't assume his intentions are malicious just because he is a banker.
While traditional banks may see their business model threatened by Bitcoin, there are other, innovative forms of banking that could benefit from a decentralised currency. Sucessful p2p banks do already exist. Here is one example: http://uk.zopa.com Title: Re: Banker Interested in Bitcoin, Wants to talk with Satoshi Post by: eurekafag on September 30, 2010, 09:29:01 AM Sorry, but I wouldn't trust that p2p bank you mentioned. Its name «zopa» sounds almost like russian word «zhopa» which is a swear word for «ass». And menu with all those «about zopa» and «my zopa» makes me totally rofl.
Title: Re: Banker Interested in Bitcoin, Wants to talk with Satoshi Post by: Aqualung on September 30, 2010, 09:53:12 AM Sucessful zopa )))))) something like "lucky ass")))

Here is one example: http://uk.zopa.com Its no a bank, its just a p2p lender !
