"Just in time for today's Senate hearings on Bitcoin. How convenient." I think that about sums it up... Title: Re: 2013-11-18 Zero Hedge: Bitcoin-Based Bounty For Bernanke's Assassination Post by: Singlebyte on November 18, 2013, 05:48:39 PM Just messed up. We need to expose the idiot doing this. Just hurting the crypto community and is plain wrong.

Just hurting the crypto community and is plain wrong. That should be law enforcements job, not ours. But be my guest...

Just hurting the crypto community and is plain wrong. My first reaction is false flag. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_flag It is a really bad headline which undermines Bitcoin even if fake. It gives ammunition to Senators, isn't there going to be a hearing pretty soon? Title: Re: 2013-11-18 Zero Hedge: Bitcoin-Based Bounty For Bernanke's Assassination Post by: Raoul Duke on November 18, 2013, 05:58:38 PM Just messed up. We need to expose the idiot doing this. Just hurting the crypto community and is plain wrong. My first reaction is false flag. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_flag There are very very very few people who have 75,000 BTC. I can't imagine any of them would like to piss away $45M and harm Bitcoin. Then again it is a really bad headline which undermines Bitcoin even if fake. It gives ammunition to Senators, isn't there going to be a hearing pretty soon? 125 BTC, US$75,000. That's the bounty, not 75,000 BTC. Title: Re: 2013-11-18 Zero Hedge: Bitcoin-Based Bounty For Bernanke's Assassination Post by: BalkanBoy on November 18, 2013, 06:10:38 PM Not only is this fake, I'm betting it's probably created by people who do not want BitCoin to succeed.... Use your imagination.
Title: Re: 2013-11-18 Zero Hedge: Bitcoin-Based Bounty For Bernanke's Assassination Post by: DeathAndTaxes on November 18, 2013, 06:14:22 PM 125 BTC, US$75,000. That's the bounty, not 75,000 BTC. Correct. DOH. Seeing the link link ("75000 BTC") caused me to go into the article with a predisposed opinion. Human brain is funny sometimes. I still think it is a false flag but at $75,000 the odds that it is some legit moron increases. Title: Re: 2013-11-18 Zero Hedge: Bitcoin-Based Bounty For Bernanke's Assassination Post by: TTBit on November 18, 2013, 06:21:25 PM Of course it is a false flag. Nobody is going to get $75,000 worth of benefit from his death when there is a laundry list of bernanke wannabees lined up behind him. It's so preposterous that it should help bitcoin. Title: Re: 2013-11-18 Zero Hedge: Bitcoin-Based Bounty For Bernanke's Assassination Post by: LiteCoinGuy on November 18, 2013, 08:20:49 PM Of course it is a false flag. Nobody is going to get $75,000 worth of benefit from his death when there is a laundry list of bernanke wannabees lined up behind him. It's so preposterous that it should help bitcoin. just $75,000 :D ? stupid. Title: Re: 2013-11-18 Zero Hedge: Bitcoin-Based Bounty For Bernanke's Assassination Post by: Carlton Banks on November 18, 2013, 08:43:31 PM Of course it is a false flag.

Title: Re: 2013-11-18 Zero Hedge: Bitcoin-Based Bounty For Bernanke's Assassination Post by: blablahblah on November 20, 2013, 12:35:51 AM RT version throws this curve ball, which I didn't notice in the Forbes version:
Quote Sanjuro’s FAQ shows that he is aware of the imminent prospect of arrest. “All the money will be confiscated by the state, and I will probably be killed or spend a considerable portion of my life in jail. Provided the system is a success, of course. Which I am hoping for.” The world has known a lot of martyrs. "False flag" or not, this kind of divisive shit could get serious. Doesn't matter who's behind it. :o Title: Re: 2013-11-18 Zero Hedge: Bitcoin-Based Bounty For Bernanke's Assassination Post by: 420 on November 21, 2013, 03:15:39 AM here we go wikipedia here we go. just accept bitcoin then its fo' sho!
