http://www.businessinsider.com/the-feds-just-seized-another-bitcoin-site-2013-6 the onramp to BTCbitcoin is getting more difficult every day with each shutdown but are they down for good? Mega upload is back and wm-center claims they will be back Quote we currently can not serve US-based customers and US citizens. We will resume our services on US market as soon as will finish the process of obtaining required licenses, we expect this will happen in the fall of 2013, and we'll post update here as soon as everything will be ready. http://usa.wm-center.ru/ Title: Re: Which Bitcoin exchange will the feds shut down next?

Post by: stash on June 06, 2013, 03:25:30 PM I dont get how the government can shut down a domain :/ Feds own domain registrars (.com,.net,.org etc) Title: Re: Which Bitcoin exchange will the feds shut down next? Post by: foxhole on June 06, 2013, 03:28:22 PM hopefully btc-e.com
Title: Re: Which Bitcoin exchange will the feds shut down next? Post by: foxhole on June 06, 2013, 03:29:28 PM Actually, I bet they cant shut down btw-e.com because they are located in russia.

Post by: dbuthay on June 06, 2013, 03:46:53 PM I imagine the next to come is MTGOX. But MTGOX could easily still serve users on a .co.jp domain, right ? Title: Re: Which Bitcoin exchange will the feds shut down next? Post by: Eva Braun on June 06, 2013, 03:59:08 PM I imagine the next to come is MTGOX. But MTGOX could easily still serve users on a .co.jp domain, right ? Probably, I just want MTGOX to die. They almost killed Bitcoin completly with not letting people trade.

THE PEOPLE WILL SHUTDOWN ITS GOVERNMENT Title: Re: Which Bitcoin exchange will the feds shut down next? Post by: worldinacoin on June 06, 2013, 04:04:40 PM But Mtgox is by far the largest Bitcoin exchange, if anything happen to them, all of us trading Bitcoin will be in deep shit.

Not necessarily, I imagine people would just begin using other exchanges. Title: Re: Which Bitcoin exchange will the feds shut down next? Post by: Eva Braun on June 06, 2013, 04:09:11 PM when gov shutsdown its people... THE PEOPLE WILL SHUTDOWN ITS GOVERNMENT I cant agree enough :) Title: Re: Which Bitcoin exchange will the feds shut down next? Post by: Alexander The Great on June 06, 2013, 04:29:40 PM Woot for MTGOX shutting down!!!
Title: Re: Which Bitcoin exchange will the feds shut down next? Post by: atariguy on June 06, 2013, 04:34:19 PM when gov shutsdown its people... THE PEOPLE WILL SHUTDOWN ITS GOVERNMENT Ideally, yes. But in today's world you'll just be killed as a terrorist. Title: Re: Which Bitcoin exchange will the feds shut down next?

ITS TOO MANY TO FAIL! Title: Re: Which Bitcoin exchange will the feds shut down next? Post by: rumbitla on June 06, 2013, 04:50:24 PM Actually, I bet they cant shut down btw-e.com because they are located in russia. The evil country can seize the domains mtgox.com and btc-e.com because the evil country holds the rights over .com addresses, but they can easily switch to btc-e.ru or mtgox.co.jp which would not fall under the authority of the evil country.Title: Re: Which Bitcoin exchange will the feds shut down next? Post by: counter on June 06, 2013, 05:15:04 PM I would assume GOX because they seem to already be in their sights based on past actions.
Title: Re: Which Bitcoin exchange will the feds shut down next? Post by: crazynoggin on June 06, 2013, 06:40:55 PM The Japanese government would have to shutdown Mt. GOX since they are located in Japan. As for BTC-E.com, I doubt the Russian government would shut it down.
Title: Re: Which Bitcoin exchange will the feds shut down next? Post by: quetzacoatl on June 06, 2013, 07:01:40 PM The Land of the Free government is trying to shut down Bitcoin exchanges like mad, they don't want free, uncontrollable currencies to compete with theirs.
Title: Re: Which Bitcoin exchange will the feds shut down next? Post by: HeroC on June 06, 2013, 07:05:09 PM I imagine the next to come is MTGOX. Almost right! They made all accounts need to be verified. Edit: Yay! 200th post! Title: Re: Which Bitcoin exchange will the feds shut down next? Post by: KSV on June 06, 2013, 07:08:32 PM mt.gox . . . seems to be the prized egg.

Title: Re: Which Bitcoin exchange will the feds shut down next? Post by: Raoul Duke on June 06, 2013, 07:20:51 PM Hey, they aren't shutting down the exchanges... They are shutting down their own population while trying to shift the blame to the exchanges...
The US of A should just block the whole country from using the internet instead of trying to own it. The rest of the world doesn't deserve a shitty internet just because some overweight americunts can't gamble or use foreign currency. Fuck'em! Oh... Forget about it... Then their citizens would see what they're all about ;) |
