Title: 99%ers and bitcoin --- somewhat breaking news Post by: the founder on November 01, 2011, 02:06:43 PM ok I got some feedback, there are going to put SOME (not all, not even close to all, but some) of that 1/2 million they collected as an insurance policy if the banks decide to wikileaks them... I got this from a valid source.
We're talking a few percentage points.... nothing more for now. Title: Re: 99%ers and bitcoin --- somewhat breaking news Post by: Gabi on November 01, 2011, 02:32:41 PM A wise choice.
Not too much so they don't risk too much due to bitcoin volatility But still enough in case banks decide to freeze their accounts Title: Re: 99%ers and bitcoin --- somewhat breaking news Post by: the founder on November 01, 2011, 02:33:43 PM A wise choice. Not too much so they don't risk too much due to bitcoin volatility But still enough in case banks decide to freeze their accounts that was exactly why... it was viewed almost as if BTC was like buying a bunch of silver or something like that... prices go up and down but at least the banks can't steal it from them.

Where have I seen this before?
Raising half a million is quite a feat, especially considering that any organizers are disparate, and the most official group is likely the one that got the best twitter name with a linked bank account set up first.

I got this from a valid source. We're talking a few percentage points.... nothing more for now. What's the source of your information? Even at 3% of 500k, that's 15k - which at current market (as I write this) would buy up to 3.60, from current 3.10. That's a 14% jump. Now my math may be in error, but when someone claims 'Hey I have inside information that the market may jump 14% today due to 15k being pumped in', OWS or not, it's silly to make or believe those claims w/o more proof.

Not proof, but showing it's not easy to dismiss either, here's an 18k buy three days ago: Title: Re: 99%ers and bitcoin --- somewhat breaking news Post by: johnj on November 01, 2011, 05:43:31 PM ok I got some feedback, there are going to put SOME (not all, not even close to all, but some) of that 1/2 million they collected as an insurance policy if the banks decide to wikileaks them...

And that it'd be one lump order. Though plausible, I still prefer more proof. Were you (flexcoin) at the assemblies where they decide this stuff?

Were you (flexcoin) at the assemblies where they decide this stuff? +1, I want proof too. Title: Re: 99%ers and bitcoin --- somewhat breaking news Post by: the founder on November 01, 2011, 09:46:17 PM I was not in the assemblies... and it was from a friend that was there... so my knowledge is technically second hand and also delayed a few days because I was told "we discussed this in the assembly last week" ... my guess is that spike in the price was exactly what it was if I were to guess based on what I understood was happening.
again I might be wrong... I am not trying to spread crap... just what I believe is accurate based on who told me.
