It's really hard to believe that someone of the foundation earns $160k a year without knowing for the community what his/her actual role is.
In my opinion the foundation should justify the salary of each member.
They've already have ran out of money, there was little to no transparency on the foundation proceedings... What kind of impediments did you encounter when you tried to find out about the 'foundation proceedings'? |

She's one sick puppy. But you have to watch. alot of what she says makes sense but shes takes it to the next level for entertainment purposes. her videos are all pretty fucking intense, always fun to watch. They're intense because she's a poet and writes much of her work as semi-poetry and perform them as poetry. She means every word though. I saw her in an Alex Jones video and some video about the Bilderberg conference, and it's... I can't take it seriously. Funny thing is she's an anarchist, but she seems pretty determined to boss people around. I take it you've been poppin the irony supp's lately? |

She's one sick puppy. But you have to watch. entertaining for sure ... nuttier than a snickers bar , yup ... you betcha ... i watched a few of her videos until it became unpalatable / clear she is nutter butters ... recommend watching a few though for entertainment value ... like watching a dog crapping on a baby ... or 2 girls 1 cup ... Re-watched that video and I take it all back. Its pretty good. Rails a bit too much on the BF, but what else are we going to do. Too many brainless idiots involved in bitcoin to let it exist in an 'organic' self-managing manner. It needs smart people to guide it, and Im afraid smart people cost money. |

There are those who claim Bitcoin was created by the NSA as the ultimate honeypot. The reasoning goes something like this: 1. Bitcoin attracts the criminal element <==prima facie, empirically substantiated, currently held axiomatic. 2. Those attracted to Bitcoin are criminals <==somewhat of a logical leap, but again, shown to be true in 99% of the cases. Remaining 1% are weirdos who like losing money, so who cares. 4. Bitcoin is instrumental in fighting crime by impoverishing those who hold it. <==not life-affirming, handicapping the criminal contingent. 5. What's more, criminals pay for their own demise (arrest->confiscate BTC->sell BTC (to criminals, who else)->rinse->repeat). <==PROFIT! Bitcoin is best crime-fighting tool ever, Q.E.D.  No joke. A year ago, at the NY hearings, the FBI testified that they were not worried about bitcoin, so I read. To this day, I have not read of anyone from US law enforcement calling for it to be banned. Not even after the ransomware attacks against government offices. Objectively, catching Ross Ulbricht must have been much easier than catching a traditional drug dealer, since much of the investigation could have been done remotely, by agents sitting at their desks, with hot coffee and donuts at hand... Meh, anyone with half a brain will learn from his mistakes. There was a lot of traditional policing ( or entrapment, if you prefer), directing of the case, and ultimately just plain surprising him, Kojak stylee, in a library. Oh, and another thing, if you are looking for a career and are an ardent note taker and record keeper, try accountancy. Drug dealing may not be the business for you.. |

Am I the only one who thinks that 242 isn't quite the doom we were promised?
but its a buy. Wait for the rise over next 48 hours and sell. Easy 2% If you are sitting waiting for $300+*, then your cash would be far better employed elsewhere. * or $3,000 or $36,000 depending on your bullish notions |

That's different though. He was a felon trying to buy a firearm. It's easy to buy guns in the U.S. if you're not an ex-con. This country has no shortage of guns for sale. There are many times more guns in this country than there are people. Couldn't he just find a dirty pawn shop operator and pay 3x what the guns worth or buy one off the street in the ghetto like every other felon? The penalty isn't any worse and there's less chance of getting caught. What an imbecile. lol
Another lost soul who believed that complex technology could overcome basic stupidity. |

FYI:
I've been a mod onto multiple forums for quite a long time (I'm online since 1995).
I take it the 'online since 1995' reference is to form the impression that he might know what he's talking about, I smell a rat.... I tend to give people a couple of chances in order to prevent their "bad" posts prevail over the "good" ones.
Bingo!! Hubris on a grand scale!! This guy is going to censor the internet in the name of what he considers 'good' Both of you, as well as mmitech are on this list not because you're bears (others here are too) but because I found more than 3 of your comments insultive to other users. I find this intolerable IRL, also as on an online (public) forum.
Oh, where to start with this one? "I have set the threshold, and you crossed it. " I wonder where he has posted this threshold. It must be secret... So much for being open and decentralised. And where do we find his defintion of "insultive(sic)' This sounds a bit subjective. Like you could wind up behind bars for saying the wrong thing. Anyway, I thought this was a private forum, no? Dont you have to register, accept terms, and then log in to view?  I have no authority here
And I get the impression he has no authority anywhere else in his life, either. this list is made just to keep this thread clean while I try to maintain the information flow.
And what information flow would that be? The "lets not point out the obvious flaws in our to the moon strategy for bitcoin' information flow? The 'we need to get as many new people into bitcoin as possible' information flow? The "Theres at least one more price bubble left in bitcoin" information flow? If you behave then I will remove you from it. I don't have anything against you, I can't tolerate insults to others.
Hope he doesnt bother. Greece was once seen as the foundation of democracy. But this guy is a clear example of how had things have gotten for them. Whatever happened to the idea of " I hate what you say, but I will fight for your right to say it" mentality? All this anti-establishment bullshit about bitcoiners, but scratch the surface and most of these idiots are more conservative than your local tea party comittee. Just not nearly as smart. |

Dude you know just as well as any of us that this place died ages ago.  Between the trolls, sock puppets and Theymos' questionable decisions the only reasons to come here are to watch the car crash and to stay in touch with the people that used to keep this thread worth visiting more regularly.  Dude, You need to keep fighting. Remember, THEY are trying to buy all the coins. YOU must not let them. |

Do you think were stupid?
OK - anyone want to take this one? Its a poser alright. |

Where are you getting this info that leocoin has tripled in value? What exchange? This coin looks DOA with no volume at all. I can't even find a price. I see a bid for 30 cents a coin on one exchange assumeing its not a scam site. But the bid/ask spread is huge.
Youv'e answered your own question there..... The bid/ask spread is huge.  |

Gavin why don't you go back to leddit and take your ugly man-looking wife with you.
We're not "misogynists" because we question some dumb whore making 160,000 dollars a year doing absolutely nothing.
The Bitcoin Foundation is a joke, always was a joke, and Satoshi Nakomoto's "prodigy" wants to calls us "misogynists" because we rightfully question some dumb fucking whore making $160,000 a year doing nothing.
Give it up Gavin, nobody respects the Bitcoin Foundation anymore, there's countless other devs working on Bitcoin now, and soon nobody will respect you because you're a white-knight beta who was always in it for the money.
The mere fact that you even defend the Bitcoin Foundation casts doubt on your integrity.
Bitcoin doesn't need or want you anymore, why don't you go to reddit where they will circlejerk you for being Satoshi's "prodigy"'
Give it up Gavin. You were once respected by Satoshi and the community. Now you're just scorned and given upvotes by retards on reddit
Thanks for that incisive and devastating critique. I was thinking that the bitcoin world might have been running low on truly intelligent and charismatic leaders who could take it forward through the current challenges, assuage the fears of the public that bitcoin was just a motley collection of internet trolls out to scam all they could and to illuminate a path to guide it to a glorious future. You are that person. Only you could call a board member a "dumb whore" based on ... What exactly? Oh, she is a woman. |

Anyone with a brain knows this dumb broad Lindsay Holland did nothing for that salary, other than maybe sexual favors.
Does any intelligent person still think this a reasonable discussion? No? Good. |

Can you guys exactly tell me what is GBTC, and how it's working?
http://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/GBTC/quoteGBTC is going to be the world's first publicly traded Bitcoin fund. Barry Silbert launched this thing in 2013 and they found a sneaky backdoor to putting a "Bitcoin fund" on a public exchange by publicly selling shares that have been held for 12+ months on an "Over the counter" market (not a top-tier one such as NYSE or NASDAQ). It is not officially an ETF (which is what the Winkle Twins are going for on NASDAQ), but it functions in much in the same way (with pretty hefty fees might I add). Effectively, each GBTC share is worth 0.1 Bitcoins, and it is set to start trading sometime this week, or so we are led to believe by Barry Silbert's Twitter account. http://pando.com/2015/03/02/barry-silberts-bit-wins-the-race-to-become-the-first-publicly-traded-bitcoin-investment-vehicle/Ya know, the goofed out harry potter picture kinda explained it better.  |

Seen lots of this from you lately. Guess you decided to short and now you're underwater? Nope, I buy low, sell higher. 1-2% tops. Last few weeks in the 240 - 250 range, so now that we have moved up, I'm waiting for it to settle or move back down. My above comment relates to non-news being trumpeted as the New Dawn tm |

Smart criminals, avoiding chargebacks this way. It seems bitcoin has many use cases, thanks to bitcoin it didn't get bloody. Too bad that the same people that need to protect us are incapable of protecting some files. Indeed: and the most recent untainted files were 18 months old. |

The big question is why they are doing it. IMO, they are doing it for their own benefit.
And if anyone questions that assertion, you simply respond - "Civil Asset Forfeiture", a $2.7bn bussiness (Assets forfeited are used by the agencies that collect it, split amicably with the feds) Edit: @Bagatell great minds, eh? |
