That amount should be able to buy a small nation in the future.

A man had a bomb strapped to his neck and was forced to rob the bank where he either worked or was a customer. The teller transfered bitcoin to a device, which was later recovered by police and said to hold over $400,000 worth of bitcoin. What I found interesting about that is apparently the banks are using bitcoin. I'm not sure if that makes me :) or :( At least it wasn't fractional reserve bitcoin...lol Title: Re: [2013-12-17] Bitcoin in TV series ALMOST HUMAN Post by: bitfreak! on January 07, 2014, 09:29:06 AM It was probably 4999 Satoshis - is is set in 2048! ;D I think they actually meant dollars. In the latest episode they find another "bitcoin stick" and they talk about the value of the bitcoins in terms of dollars. It's possible they included another scene about bitcoin in the latest episode in order to clear that up.Title: Re: [2013-12-17] Bitcoin in TV series ALMOST HUMAN Post by: kjlimo on January 07, 2014, 03:02:57 PM I really need to start watching this show, haha

Calling a device "bit coin", denominating it in dollars, and since when is TOR fast enough to handle live streaming? It took way too long just to load simple HTML, in my experience. Is everyone running a TOR exit node on terabyte ethernet in the future? It's like they're just slapping buzzwords onto shit. |
