Title: Is BitTrade Exchange Australia a Bitcoin Foundation SCAM ?
Post by: Bitcoinpro on January 05, 2014, 09:11:44 AM
why are they trying to claim some partnership with the foundation? we all know whats happened to other Foundation Members

and I will allege this is a  Bitcoin Foundation Front Company, I highly doubt they paid for a Silver Membership

below is taken from the  ""https://www.btradeaustralia.com/about/"" website

The Bitcoin Foundation is the worlds leading global organization determined to keep Bitcoin rooted in its core principles: non-political economy, openness and independence. With its aim to advance standards and security, the foundation remains strong advocates of the liberating power of decentralized money. The Bitcoin Foundation’s goal is to act as both an organising body for Bitcoin and simultaneously be inclusive of the general Bitcoin community.

Their rates are much worse than Coinjar so I never bothered looking into them.

*edit* I still pull my btc off coinjar pretty quickly.

why are they leaving inputs.io on their page, the time frame is just too long be to acceptable for a well known Scammer

why is the Bitcoin Foundation trying to foster fake business relationships with companies/individuals that rip off consumers
