for those who can't speak or read german: one of the most reputated news agency reported about "the bitcoin crash" online and how the bitcoin may be prohibited in the near future and loses all its value over night, as some people from a trade association predict it, without saying how it could be actually done.

congrats to you! i hope my money reaches mtgox before they start buying all the BTC up :D

i believe you're mistaken.

but keep in mind that mostly what they're paid to do is sell newspapers and magazines - not to report or analyze the truth.

the germans have been interesting lately.  they appear to be floating most of the political anti_Bitcoin trial balloons - except for Schumer: who is really anti-Silk Road, but too dumb to know the difference.

See the similarity? Schumer = German or Jewish German. Germans like to have everything in order, and guaranteed by the state.

lolz yeah as a german i must admit there is some truth in these prejudices... the typical german mentality has some good and bad sides that's true.

me, i'm a bit different (of course  8)) and i don't fit into this society that well, which also has some good and bad sides  ;D

Lol, you missed it. Over the weekend a lot of people panicked and sold their coins dirt cheap.
It was fairly crazy, and profitable for the cool tempered.

My friend just sent me a Max Keiser segment on Bitcoin. I was excited to see a balanced discussion on the matter.

Wasn't German news that a while ago fabricated a story about real children being raped inside Second Life or somthing along those lines?

Yep they are more on that track, while in the US they are more on the terrorism track. I think that's a general trend in the western hemisphere.

But hey, who cares about mainstream media these days? Get the facts yourself!
