Title: Bitcoin the bad guy? Post by: Mikestang on March 19, 2015, 05:18:50 PM So the new James Bond movie has a villian who mines bitcoin...

Are they really made bitcoin mining villain antagonist of Bond? I find it hard to believe in. Well if that is true bitcoin will have its mass media publicity. No harm done. And as they say there is no such thing as bad publicity. I am waiting for this movie, to see what it is about, so I hope they don't screw it up.

Would have been funnier. Title: Re: Bitcoin the bad guy? Post by: Bit_Happy on March 19, 2015, 06:28:43 PM Are they really made bitcoin mining villain antagonist of Bond?

Is it anyone from this forum? Title: Re: Bitcoin the bad guy? Post by: FuckIdolPlus on March 19, 2015, 08:14:59 PM It is a screencap from the movie SkyFall and no it is nothing related to BitCoins.
Title: Re: Bitcoin the bad guy? Post by: Mikestang on March 19, 2015, 10:15:37 PM Well, that's what I get for not watching movies I guess...

Title: Re: Bitcoin the bad guy? Post by: Snipe85 on March 19, 2015, 10:43:42 PM It has to be extremely hot in there. If he wanted to torture James he could chain him to the floor and come back in 12 hours. Our agent would be dry like jerky by then :D
In the movie he's probably breaking encryptions or passwords and needs a lot of computing power. A true villain wouldn't mine Bitcoin, where's the evil in that? Title: Re: Bitcoin the bad guy? Post by: countryfree on March 19, 2015, 11:24:51 PM BTC's the villain? I guess some people are just watching too many movies.

Post by: BayAreaCoins on March 20, 2015, 02:09:50 AM Would be pretty neat but a bad image for BTC again associating it with criminals. Bitcoin is mostly criminals atm. I'm sure Bitcoin won't be mad at me for being honest :P Title: Re: Bitcoin the bad guy?

I'm sure Bitcoin won't be mad at me for being honest :P I heard opinion that Bitcoin is evil, because criminals use it. What twisted logic in that? All knives and guns are evil too? Just because with it you can kill someone? Title: Re: Bitcoin the bad guy? Post by: BTC-Bank on March 20, 2015, 03:45:00 AM Too bad if that was real it was going to be a big advertise on the whole world which mean big boom for the Bitcoin..I know already that they are movies and series but if big ones start advertise it, it will be really good news for us and the system of Bitcoin.
Kind Regards, BTC-Bank. Title: Re: Bitcoin the bad guy? Post by: mercistheman on March 20, 2015, 04:09:22 AM Damn, was hoping we could conceal Satoshi Bond's ID a little longer :-\
Title: Re: Bitcoin the bad guy? Post by: Kprawn on March 20, 2015, 06:23:35 AM I also saw that on Reddit and I said... "Shite....Bitcoin ..the bad guy again" and then I remembered seeing that scene in Skyfall {previous bond movie}
That was in no way related to Bitcoin, but some poor Photoshop attempt to make it look like a Bitcoin mining farm. >:( We have been in movies before... ;D It was discussed here ----> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=925656.0 Title: Re: Bitcoin the bad guy? Post by: OpenOcean on March 20, 2015, 07:27:33 AM It's just another way for uninformed writers to try and come off as smart. It's so annoying. What a bunch of fools.
