342  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Where are all the Bitcoin millionaires? on: January 30, 2014, 04:53:11 AM
I thought by now I would see a few Bitcoin millionaires living large on youtube, but I'm seeing a lack of videos. Where are they?

A lot of people kicked the can down the road, picking up a few hundred bitcoins in the process...mining wasn't something a lot of people stuck with for long periods back then...remember, when Bitcoin was a year and a half old, mining was easy with a CPU and bitcoins were essentially worthless.  I've met a few guys in that general scenario and they're busy with their already busy lives...just a few hundred kilo bucks richer--not enough to last a lifetime of living large!

... and for even notifying clients that they have filed a report with FinCEN as required by law.


I don't think the subject of a SAR is allowed to know that they are...(insert horrible pseudo-reference) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspicious_activity_report#Confidentiality

At any rate, the allegation uses email quotes from Charlie liberally. Hard to see how that is unlikely to be true. It's not just failure to work hard enough to discover rule violations, it was failure to do the job of a compliance officer.

It may not seem fair that different rules apply to people buying eggs low and selling high than to people doing the same thing with money, but the rules are different. For this use case, bitcoins are more like dollars than a commodity like eggs.

347  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Nominate Satoshi as a saint on: January 18, 2014, 05:16:33 PM
I think you also need to prove him Catholic...but I'll spot you the $100k miracle Smiley
348  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If Satoshi was not an unknown person, would Bitcoin have turned out different? on: January 18, 2014, 05:10:07 PM
Fewer would want to participate if they felt they were just working to make him rich. As it stands now, he has not touched but a tiny fraction (if that) of his coins, so it's unclear if he ever intends to become known and/or spend his coins.
349  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Nominate Satoshi as a saint on: January 18, 2014, 05:00:45 PM
In the Catholic Church you mean?

I'm not catholic but I think the bare minimum requirements include: being dead, causing or being subject to a miracle in life, miracle ascribed to the proposed saint posthumously in response to supplication...

You could start a church yourself though...I hear it's easier than starting a 501c3...
350  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Name something you've actually BOUGHT with bitcoin on: January 16, 2014, 03:29:30 AM
A drobo mini, 2 1 TB 2.5 inch HDD, a nikon d7100 battery&charger, and hopefully some knives from someone I've just convinced to use Bluehost, woo commerce & Wordpress, and Bitpay.

Oh, and a 240gb msata drive and target, overstock, and amazon gift cards.

Check out gyft.com and overstock.com; both accept bitcoins as payment.

353  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Strategy of Chinese investors to increase bitcoins price on: January 09, 2014, 02:55:12 AM
A chinese company purchases a site hosted on a free website builder hosting?
And plans to buy all the BTC?

Can I laugh?


Edit:
Website registered on the 1st , your account on the 2nd , you only talk about this website in your posts..

I smell a f*   scam =)))

Strong work...smells like urine in asparagus season...

From letstalkbitcoin.com/contest:

The Present Case – Pilot #6 for LTB Contest – send .1 mBTC (0.0001BTC) to 1ABbhPAKbHnCKPzRthrr5YNeATdj3HeA3Y

Very insightful and worth listening to. Real legal case history that's easy to understand...its a very well researched podcast and he covers this issue and more in depth!
356  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin.net ownership changed - Satoshi is alive on: January 05, 2014, 09:48:39 AM
I received the domains from an anonymous person who claimed to have worked with Satoshi in the early days. He claimed that Satoshi split up his assets before leaving in order to prevent too much centralisation: The SourceForge project to Gavin, bitcoin.org to Sirius, and the two other domains to this anonymous person.
Sounds legit

Absolutely legit. And I admire that he didn't choose to put it all in The Bitcoin Foundation's hand.


Welcome to Bitcoin. The foundation is a little over a year old.
