Yup. May be they tried to shorten the title and ended up with a completely wrong one.
It's not just the title - he is referred to as "Bitcoin CEO" in the body as well. |

Ha ha... Didn't realize it was in a comedy show.  In case the context of my original comment isn't clear - Bitcoin is not a company and does not have a CEO or a COO. By referring to Karpeles as the "Bitcoin CEO", the writer of the linked article has proven he is completely clueless about what Bitcoin is (and what Mtgox and Karpeles are). The only thing to do with such a bad article is mock it, which I did (by alluding to a humorous mention of a Bitcoin COO). |

Is this the guy who appeared on Conan O'brien? No wait, that was the Bitcoin COO.

The OP's point is that the exchange rate went down since the announcement.

We have the same troll problem on another popular forum that I have the burden of running a small part of. Trolls are not to be taken too seriously. Just ignore and move on.
Yeah I know, I'm not new to the interwebz I just don't remember this forum being this bad. Love the lotto tie breaker (presumably works better in person!)
Probably, but difficult to arrange. I suggested a virtually-trustless hash-based cryptographic coin toss... But the candidates just asked me to toss a physical coin at the convenience of my home. |

Thanks everyone for reminding me why I don't spend much time on this forum anymore. "nonprofit"
Nonprofit, yes. It's registered in Israel as an "Amuta" (עמותה רשומה). Oh well, hey now, if it's registered as derp derp that means they are definitely a "non profit" Legal registration status does not in itself indicate the core values, I'll give you that. But if you had any idea who are the people involved, and how the IBA has been handled so far financially and otherwise... You'd feel really embarrassed about your asinine insinuations. |

There was no post about the Israeli Bitcoin Association (henceforth IBA) so far, simply because by the time it was established, the Israeli Bitcoin scene was so big that global concerns such as this forum were not my main focus. But I think a post for it should exist, and I will try to update it with important events... Starting with the one in the next reply.

The Israeli Bitcoin Association is a nonprofit organization, founded in July 2013 and legally registered in March 2014. Its goal is to maximize the benefit that Israel's population gains from the Bitcoin technology. Its homepage (in Hebrew) is at http://iba.bitcoin.org.il/. |
