Really though, whomever cracked mtgox back when, already has much information about all the richest bitcoin holders as they will ever need. I assume they are all being stealthily attacked as we speak.
No they don't. After the hack, the reason Mtgox needed our financial information for verification was because the hacker did not have access to this data. |

It's also interesting how they didn't introduce themselves to the Bitcoin community at all, either on IRC, the forums, or wherever.

So you seriously think US Dollar would be accepted as a currency in 2033? Highly unlikely, as a museum exhibit - maybe. So the question about "cost" in 2033 is moot. It will be exactly 1 bitcoin per bitcoin.
Are most people on this board this delusional? Well, the U.S. will certainly be part of the European Union by then, so we'd have the Euro. |

What's stopping someone from running off with your rig while your sleeping?
Gravity, elevation, not knowing it's a computer. Grappling hooks, rope, thermal imaging camera's?  I think that kind of a person could also open your screen door. |

What about hummidty condensing on your cards?
It looks like it's inside of a container, much like the rooms of your house, which remain unaffected to the condensation. |

They quality of their site is not inline with the force of the claims.
This website seems sus.
I was engaged in an edit war to remove it from the Bitcoin article as well. It just seems really fishy. Also the owner was appealing to another editor to stop me from removing the link or nominating the GSB article for deletion, which was kind of funny. Hi Gurt, Thanks for your help with the page I made for Global Standard Bank. There is another user trying to have the page deleted before it has a chance to grow with the addion of other user contrib. I think its a type of vandalism, as the same user entered into an editing war with me when i tried to include a link to the main Bitcoin page. Can you help?Bitcoineer (talk) 05:25, 10 July 2011 (UTC) |

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Global_Standard_Bank&oldid=438378523Global Standard Bank, the first global web based Bitcoin bank ( www.globalstandardbank.com) is poised to make banking with this new cryptocurrency easy and accessible. The 2009 introduction of Bitcoin (BTC) into the global currency market began an era of exciting possibilities reminiscent of the gold rush of the last century. Not unlike the Gold Rush, where fortunes were made and lost - Bitcoin's popularity has created a hazardous and confusing environment for many investors and speculators alike. The unregulated landscape is fertile ground for unscrupulous traders and fly-by-night operations that appear and vanish - often with their client's money. Also, being a digital currency stored on computers, owners of Bitcoin without protective infrastructure are subject to hacking and theft of their savings. Global Standard Bank, founded on the principals of trust, integrity, and commitment stands ready to provide a safe and secure venue for investors in Bitcoin to navigate this exciting opportunity. An opportunity of which many speculate will be the opportunity of this century. Through innovative and reliable solutions, Global Standard Bank provides a means to wealth creation and management that is simple to use, while sophisticated enough to meet the demands of a new global world. Global Standard Bank, is an internet business that uses Bitcoin the new cryptocurrency as its base currency. It was started in 2010 and publicly launched on July, 5 2011. Its representatives claim it to be the first bank for Bitcoin, and aim to bring Bitcoin to a mainstream audience[1]
Though its name contains the word "Bank", the company is not technically a bank. It promotes itself as a high security operation to protect against loss of Bitcoins from theft or hacking and state a "guarantee" of up to 5,000 Bitcoins per account against loss. However, Bitcoin is only a virtual currency, and Global Standard Bank is not a member of the Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation, the government body that insures regular bank deposits.[2] It is also not on the list of federally-regulated banks of the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions[3].
I've been trying to get the article deleted off of Wikipedia for the last day, and they aren't really a 'bank'. It'll be interesting to see if their site goes anywhere though.

I was trying to explain what day trading was to a 10 year old girl. When I suggested she could do it, she said it looked boring. That got me thinking. It could be made 'game like'.
Bitcoin and Minecraft need to converge somehow. |

Ever since June the price has been going down, down, and down....
Really not sure how all of you think it will be worth $30 or more by the end of the year
Have you by any chance looked at the prices throughout the past year? |

So lardycake, what are your next predictions? You were only 50% off the current value, and we all know that $10 or $11 is the close cousin of $15... it's all the same really. I'm just wondering where you think this is all going.

I didn't realize Bitcoin the software was bound to Bitcoin the word?  I say let him and if he actually manages to get some rights and tries to enforce them, we just switch to a different word We should call them 'Pascazis'. Makes perfect sense, he is the founder after all.  |
