If he indeed were such an evil mastermind he'd have found a fall guy to blame.
So it would be perfect if Gonzague Gay-Bouchery pulled the heist then. |

I don't want to lose 1 hour searching for some information in which I know someone of you here did already mention 20 pages ago...
any take on this, anyone can tell me more or give me a link ?
Isn't this like the fifth time you've posted something to the effect of "i just woke up and don't want to waste my time reading this thread or bothering to Google the info so could someone else waste his time feeding me a recap?" |

750,000 customer bitcoins stolen & 120,000 company bitcoins stolen.
Whew, that's good news. I was afraid it was a million coins stolen.  |

YOU guys have been posting in this forum... for 5 years? or even 2-3 years.. would be quite a bit...
Well, this forum hasn't been around 5 years, but a few of us have been here a very long time. 3, 4, 5 years, whatever it is, same debates over and over. Seems like 10 years. Knuckleheads who can't seem to do their own research or bother to read the forums claiming Bitcoin is dead or dying soon yet it goes on, outliving its own obituaries, currently worth a mere 575 times USD. |

Cult behavior among the surrounding community is actually driving away a lot of potential investors. People need to come down to earth a little more, or else bitcoin will look more and more like a joke.
5 years of this same bullshit. You're wrong now on all accounts, and I will speculate you'll be wrong for another 5 years. |

I think its so quiet because we are literally at a major crossroads in bitcoin...
I'm not sure Bitcoin can be said to have reached a figurative crossroads until Ralph Macchio has bought in. http://youtu.be/NPB2qbxuiLM |

Wow... volume nearly non-existent

I have been using offline wallets (originally just a plain wallet.dat created with air gapped hardware) ever since.
Like this?  |

You don't see the future implications? I don't support any fork that is not of vital necessity to the protocol. Altering the money supply to bail out people who should have better gauged their counter party risk? No fucking way. If the majority supports this, bitcoin is dead in the water. And I'm out -- in a flash.

Those who choose the wrong fork will most likely end up with nothing but a harsh lesson about why Bitcoin exists in the first place. I don't think anyone is stupid enough to try and bail out Gox with a protocol change though.
I don't see this as much of a legitimate "forking of Bitcoin" as I do a creation of another alt coin which someone has the intent of pumping until explosion. Either way, always fun in Bitcoinland. |

...a Frenchman who has a Frenchman roommate...
We get it already, you want to gay bash him. Certainly there are enough actual crimes he's committed for you to pursue him down those avenues. |

Just a quick reminder for whatīs about to come in the media in the next days.
Bitcoin is a trademark held by MtGox!
If MtGox getīs broke - Bitcoin getīs
If MtGox did get hacked - Bitcoin did
......
What?  One of the reasons people trusted Gox. Some lawyer trademark poacher tried to grab the trademark but Gox took it to hold for "safe keeping." |

Thanks. Takaways: +430% accounts in 2013 1 million verified customers (submitted docs, etc) demand was growing faster than their infrastructure definitely planning on implementing Litecoin and possibly other cryptos in the future partnership w/Mastercard in Canada (test market) for prepaid Bitcoin debit card planned relaunch of improved website planned auction site edit: they were definitely solvent w/projected $925,000 in trading fees & $200,000 in net income for March 2014 - Jared still owns 12% |

Anyway, you think Guinness is a beer...your opinions are highly fallacious.  Agreed! |

Is this how we are going to engage BTC's critics?
We've done much more than point and laugh. He's not up for learning. At some point there isn't much more that can be done but get a good laugh and move on while he stands there braying. |
|
|

And I agree with some others here that if you have no bitcoin then why would your opinion even matter?
Jorge is just this decade's housewife testifying before the U.S. congress that playing a Led Zeppelin album backward produces Satanic lyrics. He's a dinosaur braying at meteors. He is scared and doesn't understand, so he lashes out blindly. |

some of the best thinking yet I can say 90% that this is what happened... Agree 100%... You agree completely that someone else is highly confident in a 3rd person's speculation? |

I just find it hard to understand why you're so resistant to experiencing this absolute basic first lesson.
Is it as obvious to everyone as it is to me? He is beginning to question his conclusion Bitcoin is a ponzi. He already softened his stance by admitting he now feels "pyramid" may be more appropriate than "ponzi". A part of him is concerned he could soften further, and using the currency may suck him in. He's in an intellectual battle with himself. He's fighting valiantly. It's natural. We train ourselves "if it's too good to be true it usually is" yet here is Bitcoin which is just about too good to be true and yet it is true. It is revolutionary. It is a ground shaking paradigm shift. It will change the world. |
