He's probably telling the banks "yeah you guys are right, bitcoin is full of white male libertarian bros."

NXT is fine where ever the price falls.
ALL COINS ARE fine where ever the price falls. Grin

To a point.

NXT is fine where ever the price falls.
I am trying to figure what to take from this, are you saying the price doesn't matter due to the tech or are you saying the coin isn't worth anything so it doesn't matter?

I'm just saying it isn't the end of the world if the price falls.  That part could recover (or be manipulated).  What concerns me more is the thinning volume.

But as is, without big expectations, NXT is fine.

Whether that wallet is really owned by ISIS or not does not change the possibility that BTC is being used by criminal entities right this minute.

It's the perfect tool to move funds anonymously if you know what you're doing.
13146  Other / Politics & Society / Re: is ISIS really using Bitcoin? on: November 20, 2015, 01:04:14 AM
ISIS might be using Bitcoin but probably aren't for the same reasons most of the rest of the world isn't. Too volatile too hard to exchange too open to hacker theft... Which, if they prove and show the address, would pretty much mean "open season" for those millions. If someone can hack them and steal those coins it would be welcomed by the rest of us!

Very true... I see Anonymous {The Hacker group} already declared WAR on ISIS and they targeted Twitter accounts, used for communication. You could just imagine if they got

hold of a Bitcoin addresses used for terrorism funding. They would create havoc and you would see ISIS soldiers running around with air pistols and knives.

Bitcoin is definitely not the safest and most secure method of payment, when you use it in the wrong way.  Roll Eyes ... I would actually prefer them not using it, but if they want to

use it, they should suffer the consequences when it gets hacked.  Roll Eyes   

I remember them doing the same thing vs the Mexican drug cartel but had to stop because their members were getting decapitated.

In recent Paris attack The Anti-terrorism group of ethical hackers, Ghost Security Group (GSG), said that ISIS regularly uses cryptocurrencies to fund its terrorist operations and they have have found a BTC address associated with them and found that they have worth 3 million bitcoin in there account!
That's really disgusting!

Of course he means paper money, as physical cash, coins and bills. If you know how to interpret things, you can already see where we are headed, and that's a world were there is no way to hide your money from a massive surveillance state. Bitcoin is our only hope at having an alternative economy that it's outside any goverment. The network is already robust enough to survive terrible attacks, nothing has worked against it thus far, not even trying to disrupt it from within, but we need to keep making it better, better obfuscation features as well.
I don't expect anything good from mega corporations like Apple and so on, so Bitcoin is our chance for an open source way out of that Orwellian nightmare.

Exactly.  Yet we still see greedy people on here in a hurry wishing it went "main stream" because they think the price will go over 1000 usd again.

People I've seen that are in denial about the whole issue are the ones who want BTC "to shoot up".

Edit:  Bad news people...  The latest 'shoot up' could be caused by that MMM pyramid scam guy or something else connected with terrorist funding.

13151  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Litecoin really really cheap right now? Or is it dying? on: November 17, 2015, 11:55:20 PM
It's far from dying.  But it's not going anywhere as is.  It is a safe haven coin if something goes wrong with BTC at best.
13152  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / And the Black Belt in Bitcoin News Plagiarism Goes To Cointelegraph -NewsBTC on: November 17, 2015, 10:41:28 PM
Quote
Cointelegraph’s plagiarism pro, claims that she “emailed” Ghost Security Group and surprisingly enough, she asked them one of the questions I asked them throughout my interview, and she got the same answer. Well, if she has really reached out for them, then why didn’t with come up with a unique question?

I tend to know someone personally who is a member of the Ghost Security Group, because I am planning on volunteering to work with them and he told me that the group prefers not to make any media appearance and that no one from Cointelegraph has interviewed any member of the group.

Cointelegraph’s Past History of Plagiarism:

It is not the first time that Cointelegraph plagiarizes one of NewsBTC’s articles, as last February they copied a research piece that we published that discussed quantitative easing and how it can affect cryptocurrencies.

Here is NewsBTC’s original article back then:

http://newsbtc.com/2015/02/25/quantitative-easing-bitcoin/

Here is the copied article by George Samman on Cointelegraph:

http://cointelegraph.com/news/113576/why-the-european-central-bank-is-paving-the-way-for-cryptocurrencies-op-ed

Last March, I talked to Allen, their editor-in-chief back then, and he added a link to my article back then after apologizing. However, Cointelegraph didn’t even bother to reply to my email regarding the recent plagiarism incident which reflects CT’s new policy; “We will plagiarize and we won’t give a damn about anyone!”.

Plagiarism is a plaque that is infesting the blogosphere and to me, plagiarizing an article is just like “pocket-picking”; a crime that has to be stopped by all means.

Newsbtc holds its rights to file a complaint against Cointelegraph to Google News and other search engine services.

13153  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin - one of the Terrorists Funding Sources on: November 17, 2015, 10:39:14 PM
i think they bitcoin funds are very limited, because bitcoin is very limited to the market right now, not talking about the current amount of coins, but about the real amount that can be bought and it is available at the market

to have more they need to match what the holders want, which is a much bigger price than what we have today on the market, this mean that without a new bubble they can't fund very well what they have in plan to do

otherwise it's mean that they are using it for small criminals activity

There was a recent rise to 500...
13154  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin - one of the Terrorists Funding Sources on: November 17, 2015, 03:04:13 PM
That is pretty stupid to be said... Every type of currency can be used to finance terrorism. You can even finance terrorism with meat and milk as many supporters for terrorist groups in Latin america have done. And actually, if we could make a research we would find that terrorism is mostly financed by plain ond cash!

Yes!  And they can use Bitcoin to move value over the internet as what they have done.
13155  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin - one of the Terrorists Funding Sources on: November 17, 2015, 03:01:54 PM
I hope that was not true,i little afraid Cheesy
Afraid of what exactly? Are you afraid of every knife because it is potentially killing tool?
And even if 'terrorists' have bitcoin stash so what? Let's ban dollars, euro and gold because terrorists use them for buying weapons and financing their operations too!

Yes.  I mean, I personally don't condone the terrorists' actions but there's nothing wring in using as a tool for moving funds.
13156  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin - one of the Terrorists Funding Sources on: November 17, 2015, 02:59:59 PM
Why are most of you in denial that BTC/crypto is one, if not, the most useful tool for terrorists, money launderers, and black market participants for moving funds?

It's there to leverage the power from the imperialists back to the people...  Sadly in this case, terrorists.  This is what Amir Taaki was saying when he created Dark Wallet.  He doesn't deny that the purpose of Dark Wallet + BTC was that it could be used for illegal means.  I think he even encourages it.
There is always a good and bad side. In this case terrorist take  an advantage on bitcoin and abused it.

Abuse?  It's what exactly Bitcoin is for.
13157  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin - one of the Terrorists Funding Sources on: November 17, 2015, 02:59:11 PM
Bitcoin is not the source of funding, it is one of the means of funding..

There are people that fund them and they use bitcoin. It is not bitcoin that funds them.

Yup.  Exactly.  People should see it more in this context.

13159  Economy / Speculation / Re: What moves bitcoin price? on: November 17, 2015, 01:08:26 PM
For stock exchanges, situations like what happened in Paris with the terrorism attack,means changes in the prices of the stocks, but due to bitcoin is kind of different, for you, what do you have to be in mind when you speculate about the price? I mean, what type of news or kind of doings, you have to keep in your mind to get winner in the bitcoin transactions?

Trading is the same, whether it's stocks, commodities, currencies.. etc.  There's buyers and sellers, pumpers and dumpers, bulls and bears, etc, etc...  The rest is mostly market noise.

You of all people should know this.
13160  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin - one of the Terrorists Funding Sources on: November 17, 2015, 01:04:18 PM
unless there was a public key found along side them fake and unburnt passports.. the media is only guessing.



But I doubt these guys are.

"Hacktivists claim ISIS terrorists linked to Paris attacks had bitcoin funding":  http://www.networkworld.com/article/3005308/security/hacktivists-claim-isis-terrorists-linked-to-paris-attacks-had-bitcoin-funding.html

From the article:  "Ghost Security Group confirmed to NewsBTC that ISIS is "extensively using bitcoin for funding their operations" and that the group has "managed to uncover several bitcoin addresses used by them." Furthermore, bitcoin is "their prime form of cryptocurrency."
