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.

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).
