GOX OG Post by: mk4 on July 23, 2019, 05:23:06 PM Your profile's age is barely anything. It's just a cool statistic and it just shows that you've been here since the earlier days, and that's pretty much it.
Anyway, I hope your loss from MtGox didn't stop your enthusiasm(assuming you are) with bitcoin. That's one hell of a painful lesson though. EDIT: By the way, I checked your history and saw this :P: Topic: If bitcoin had the market value of Facebook... Each coin currently would be worth around $10,075.00 give or take, that is if my numbers are right. Some food for thought... Title: Re: Not really a newb guys. So gullible.

Zuckerberg would do well to give up on that useless Libra thing already... At least OP made an account, i only lurked, but didn't pay enough attention... I think there is a small chance MtGox people get paid after all these years, would explain the recent offerings... Title: Re: Not really a newb guys. So gullible. Im an OG, lost millions in MT.

Remember folks; (bitcoin) code, doesn't care about anyone or anything. Satoshi Nakamoto probably doesn't really give a damn either. Welcome back (to purgatory) then! :D Title: Re: Not really a newb guys. So gullible. Im an OG, lost millions in MT. GOX OG Post by: Kakmakr on July 24, 2019, 06:27:00 AM Also checked your post history and you revealed that you managed some "controversial sites" in the past and that brought you to Bitcoin. I am curious to know what kind of sites those were and how you got into Bitcoin back then. I am guessing it was porn or online gambling sites... right? <You do not have to reveal the actual sites, just what kind of sites it was.>
You are saying you lost millions on Mt Gox, but you did not actually spend millions to buy those coins back then. The question is, if Mt Gox was not "hacked" ::) ... would you still have had those coins or would you have used it, before it went to $18 000+ :-\ B.t.w the thread you are pointing to is not accessible anymore? Title: Re: Not really a newb guys. So gullible. Im an OG, lost millions in MT. GOX OG Post by: Broly46 on July 27, 2019, 08:08:21 AM I like your analogy FB value to that of BTC. It was $130b in 2014, now it is worth more than that, I think FB would’ve be a trillion company, then you should revise your valuation for BTC too. Since you are one who get through the MT Gox debacle, I’d like to ask you a few questions, I got to know bitcoin during earlier 2011 too, but I had no idea how to even buy some of them, and PayPal are not a thing for me too at the moment, and also forget about dwolla or liberty reserve which I wouldn’t have access until recently, I think the only way to buy bitcoin was MT Gox before 2014, there is about two P2P services and all the other P2P trading are either infested with typical eBay scams that most users do not get any successful trades, and also they may get their btc but at a marked up price too, either way they get charge back from PayPal deal too. I don’t know who didn’t loss a fortune to trying to buy BTC, and I think Mt Gox aren’t any better than P2P or OTC, as I see so many people loss money on it. Even in today, I still can’t find a legit way to obtain BTC just as easy as buying goods, some may recommend coinbase was good, I wonder why people would stick with Mt Gox than coinbase.

Newbies can't, but some "old" newbies can. I think at-least if you had an avatar when the "new" restrictions came, then you would still have it. Title: Re: Not really a newb guys. So gullible.

Some site that’s not accessible by anyone, I had came across those site that accept btc from the early days, and you’d hope you didn’t know bitcoin to avoid plenty of troubles, because some of them ended up in jail or dead by now. Of course I don’t want to believe it, no one will believe the news circulate on the internet anyway, especially from the questionable sites, but why today so many people believe anything come by internet which is beyond my knowledge. |
