Wow that was great.

I purchased at $508 and was hoping to get some at below $500 but Coinbase only went as low as $505 while I was tracking it.   

did you get yours at bitstamp?  I saw that they had better buy rates every time there was a rate change.

 

Come on guys, you know the USG don't roll like that, if they shut your site down they put the their whole seal on it, and if they take you into custody they want the perp walk. 

The BIG news from the feds was the subpoena -- the absolute beginning of the beginning.  They are as surprised as everybody else, remember all of the actions that Mt Gox took PUBLICLY was proper, they just stunk, the subpoena is the legal crow-bar to pry open the door to see what smells so bad.  If it turns out Mark is just a bad cook (accounting and programming problems as Roger claims) then no criminal case, just a civil matter; but if if it turns out that he was cooking the books, then you have an entirely different story. 

here's the thing, the biggest players are all young, so they can totally reinvent themselves and become MAJOR players once a gain in the cryptocurrency industry, even some of the older guys that got embroiled in the silk road thing, they too can experience a new beginning because of the nascent and volatile nature of the cryptocurrency economy.

At this very moment it is very possible for them to start with $0, take advantage of many giveaway offers do some trading and start making a decent living in less then 3 months.  and be a millionaire again in less than a year.  Their knowledge is there and the market is there too.  

But you know how things are, they got the million easy, they want the billion easier ...

they never forgot, because as soon as they loss their money they dialed 911 ...


They, like many others, talk a good tough boy game but when the satoshi hits the fan they don't want the market to handle it, they wall Sam, knowing full well that Sam almost never gets you what you want, Sam only looks out for Sam.  

Cartel style self-regulation is the answer.  

how does he give them away?



also do you have any investment tools that I could used to help manage a portfolio of different products? 

and those who give money to the people who steal people's money should not complain when their money is also stolen

Because it was overshadowed by MTGox, had that been a totally isolated incident it would have been a different story.

Even now in this post Mt Gox environment the shock is just starting to be realized.  


Bitcoin is fragile, and unstable, the magnificent growth makes it even more clumsy as it develops.

Yep people get scared easily today

The funny thing is the people the most "scared" are the ones who don't own a single satoshi.

and they will continue to not own one if btc don't get their satoshi together

the growth and development of btc and all other CC is dependent on global acceptance

if the currency is legitimate, if the system of support is strong, then the media's coverage is not an issue, HOWEVER, if the currency can be easily inflated with media hype, it stands to reason that it can be easily deflated with negative media hype. 

Without all of the positive media hype btc would only be worth about $400.  NOTE that $400 amount would reflect an extremely massive growth rate over the 5 years.

It's more like saying the Euro will collapse because Spain and France no longer want to use it.

It will not only effect the Spanish and the French, it will also affect everyone in the European union, and everyone that uses euros.

The people who don't use Euros will quickly think the currency is doomed because they probably didn't value it much in the first place.

The news is often inaccurate, but if they have the time (which they often don't) to get educated on a matter, are following an ongoing story, have the chance to collaborate with other reporters, and/or see other stories that's when they get things right.  Otherwise they just take what they could get, use some critical thinking, creative writing, then serve it in an extremely articulate way.

It may be true that tech pros may know little about finance, but the finance pros know little about tech AND know little about Bitcoin and CC in general.

Cryptocurrency is a nascent industry with tremendous potential, bitcoin is showing only a 'bit' of what it can do as well as what the all of the other coins can do.

Since I'm new here, your presumption is probably accurate, however I'm doubtful my general assessment would change. 

All cryptocurrencies should ramp up with lots of hype, that's the way you bring attention to your CC then over time the strength of the coin should overpower the fading hype. In this way the CC stabilizes wherever it is. Notwithstanding, you still should not trust any cc, exchange, or software to protect your valuables.   

Domain Name For Sale #19 ---> www.CRYPTOCURRENCYUNIVERSITY.COM

I will consider all offers, including but not limited to trade, a partnership arrangement with the domain being my equity contribution. or good old (or new) fashion currency
 
I have no minimum or maximum, I like doing the type of deals that result in two happy principals --  WIN-WIN  deals




Yes, I have other domains available for sale and am willing to bundle.

Possession isn't necessary for ownership. 

Just because you transfer custody of your coins to someone doesn't make the new holders of the coin the new owners, just like when you take your kids to school it doesn't make the teacher the parent.

You entrust your fiat / cryptocurrency to exchanges for the specific purpose they set forth in their agreement -- essentially to safeguard until you have removed it from their system.

I didn't see WDC on either site, nevertheless I like the cyptorush site where are they based?   I like the fact that they used dodge as one of their pivot or base coins, what are some other interesting things about them?

don't trust any cryptocurrency,
don't trust any CC exchange,
and
don't trust your computer software to keep out the hackers

do what you can with what you have,  the greater the risk the greater the POTENTIAL reward,
wherever there is great risk there is great loss


 

We need to understand the whole picture -- I agree Roger, kindly share the WHOLE picture.

You said you did the video purely as a favor to Mt Gox, kindly tell us who at Mt Gox asked you to do the video?  Who wrote the words that you read in that video?  What was your relationship with Mt Gox, and it's CEO at the time of the first video? 

You specifically said: "I made a video stating that their fiat withdrawal problems were not being caused by a lack of liquidity. I made no claims regarding their solvency."  You do realize that, "liquidity' and "solvency" are symbiotic, and that any statement by you about Mt Gox at that sensitive time would be construed as an endorsement?   Why would you endorse Mt Gox at that troubled time in their development? 

In this video you said: "This issue was caused by poor programming skills and a total lack of book keeping on the part of Mtgox", is it true that Mt Gox allowed you to see their books, some of their financial records?  What did you know about their programming and bookkeeping and when did you know it?   Was it before you invested the "... life changing amount of bitcoins stuck in Mtgox" or just before making this new video.

BTW: did you sign the petition to remove MT Gox CEO from the btc foundation.  In what ways if any did you support the protesters at Mt Gox?  When did you stop trading at Mt Gox?   

With answers to those questions we could get a glimpse of that picture you are talking about.

Thanks for your question, I:
1) only have 30 of them
2) prefer to do them individually
3) would provide a max discount of 25%

I think you answered your own question by the end of your sentence.

The only reason to buy is if it makes sense, given all of the reasonable deals out there there is not common deal that makes sense.

That said, I would buy Mt Gox  for $1 if were able to lay out my purchase arrangement for the cryptocurrency world to accept, if the CC community accepted it I would take the deal.  In that deal, not one of the customers would lose any of the coin or fiat that were properly deposited to their account.  That type of win-win deal could work but is not normal by any sense.  But I know how to make it work.

I would buy it if I were able to lay out all of the terms to the site member/customers, so that they know exactly what is happening every reconstruction, rebranding, and repositioning step of the way.  I would not buy it unless I had the actual cooperation of the membership.   Rest assured, everything would go up: service quality, security, rates, value, and appreciation.

Take special note, the price would be no higher than $1, but no one would lose a dime from insolvency or foul play. 

1) those guys distanced themselves from Mt Gox long ago when they no longer factored MT Gox's rates into their calculations for their published rates,
2) why do you need anyone of them to tell you that MG is bad when the evidence and your own brain told you that?
3) this forum told everyone long ago, before those guys made their disconnections to leave MG alone,
and
4) this wasn't the first time MG jammed the btc community, the prior matter was only months ago.


Believe it or not folks this forum collectively knows more than any individual, or any whole company, in the cryptocurrency industry about Bitcoin.  The problem is that we are conditioned to believe the media, corporate big wigs, and govt so we continue to defer to them, but where do you suppose they get their information from?  It doesn't have to originate here but this is where the truth, lies, suggestion, rumors, observations, etc ... get repeated, understood, tested, refined, and repeated a few more times

This forum is the epicenter of both cryptocurrency genius and cryptocurrency crap; but it only takes a bit of critical thinking to cut though the crap to get to the genius that flows in most threads.

When someone wants to start a coin, where do they go; when a manufacturer wants to sell their mining equipment they come here to find reviewers, testers, and a place to advertise. That's why when you protest anything in mass, or accept anything in mass, it is heard all over the cryptocurrency universe.
