Title: U.S. Drones Looking for Bitcoin Headquarters - Real or Fake?
Post by: robattfield on January 01, 2014, 03:00:26 AM
Hey everyone,

Pardon my ignorance, but I can't tell whether this article/press release is a fake or not. If it is true, I find it really disturbing for the future of cryptocurrencies. The link to the article is http://www.coinion.com/2013/12/31/u-s-drones-looking-bitcoin-headquarters/ (http://www.coinion.com/2013/12/31/u-s-drones-looking-bitcoin-headquarters/).

If this is true, I'd expect to see it on the news - oh who am I kidding, the corporate owned media, the globalist elite, and the 1% will do whatever they can to preserve their fiat currency.

I thought so - just wanted to make sure before I say anything else about it :).

Just had a read of the first two... I feel really embarrassed now lol, it's funny that the Chinese believed Kim Jong Un was the sexiest man  ;D.

A NZ equivalent of this site is http://www.thecivilian.co.nz/ - mainly focuses on NZ-related stuff, but mentioned once that North Korea threatened to nuke our largest city (Auckland).

The mining hardware company Butterfly Labs was raided as well, but no functional hardware was found.
