What a plank. Title: Re: FBI seized an extra 144000 Post by: pbody on January 18, 2014, 06:43:46 PM people were speculating on what would happen to the price on the 30k now there is an extra 144k. seems they are smart enough not to dump it all. This could "legitimize the currency" as mentioned. The best bet would be to make purchases and then convert to fiat. Buy 10 14m dollar mansions in bitcoin than auction those off.

I'm sad to say that I forgot to post this in the bad news thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=412280.0) when we all found out about it at the end of October 2013. Help me inform current and potential bitcoin users of the dismal state of bitcoin in 2014 and beyond by posting this in the bad news thread, so that people can quickly see all of the worst news about bitcoin. Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your help. Isn't 144,000 mentioned in the bible somewhere? Must have been a reference to bitcoin and the apocalypse. Bible is the ultimate source of knowledge. Plz add to your thread, proudhon. Title: Re: FBI seized an extra 144000 Post by: Tzupy on January 18, 2014, 08:45:52 PM So much FUD... This was known for over 2 months, and those 144k coins are not going on auction anytime soon.
But the 30k coins that belonged to SR customers and were forfeited are going to be auctioned. I checked the US Marshals site today (auctions section), and there was no mention of bitcoins being auctioned. I'll keep checking daily. If someone has another idea about how the 30k coins are going to be auctioned, please share.

Proudhon is a comedy genius, it has been confirmed by sources. This. The "confirmed chinese and russian language sources" (as if there isn't a multi-billion market cap to incentivize any translations whatsoever) is a dead giveaway and is one of his most frequent point. I mean, imagine if we really did live in a world where major economic news affecting a multi-billion dollar market STAYED in only 2 languages and was never translated. Lol! The wording of his posts is also pretty clear. But I bet the real bears love him! |
