Pretend like someone gave you 1 million dollars and told you to buy bitcoins with it in less than a months time. How would you go about doing this? Would you buy them all in one big market order in hopes to spark a panic? Would you accumulate the coins slowly throughout the month? Would you use a bot? Would you set up bid walls? Would you even use mtgox? If not, who would you contact to purchase coins from without using the exchange and what price would you offer to buy them at?
Is that you Mitt?
lol i knew this was coming.
No, my whole reason for asking this is because that whole extortion hoax got me thinking about what I would do in this hypothetical situation.
Keep in mind it could also be someone who wants the tax returns to be released.
Or maybe Romney would pay the "release" address just to call the hackers bluff to patch things up politically.
Also, this would make the Democrats look stupid because people would assume that it was the Democratic party that paid the release address only to fall for a hoax.
It could be a good move for Romney to pay the release address if the secret service determined it is indeed a hoax.
