As an 18 year old, Pierce was making $250,000 a year and held 1% of the company's shares, a board member describing him as "the guy who could tell us what Gen Yers were likely to think".

You came in to the game just in time to watch btc skyrocket and actually profit. All of us bitching about these assholes are only doing it because we're bitter and lost coin to them. Title: Re: The official Bitcoin Wall of Shame (pics of said in OP as each is introduced) Post by: RodeoX on October 11, 2014, 05:14:19 PM As a newbie to the scene I mustsay this is all very encouraging.... :-\ The problem is greed. Once people discovered that bitcoin really is money it attracted the usual suspects. Tech savvy thieves and con men love BTC because it is convenient and without penalty. The police are years behind the technology and without a solution to the trans-national nature of most criminals who denominate in bitcoin. These bad people exist wherever there is wealth to be stolen. Nobody likes this. The speculators love it because they can play games that have long ago been banned in most markets. Bitcoin users rarely favor regulation, but not everybody understands the repercussions of that. You must do your own homework with bitcoin and completely understand the economic activity you are engaged in. Speculating in a wild market is very risky. People often try, fail, then complain about bitcoin because it didn't meet their expectations of being something more than money. I find that using it as an online payment method is where you find it's utility and strengths. It's fast and final, I do not risk my identity or provide access to my money, and it costs me only pennies to send money anywhere on the planet. If your interest in bitcoin is to get rich then you should know that it is unlikely unless you have some great business idea and the resources to get it funded. If you just want a secure, fast and inexpensive way to send money then you will love bitcoin.
