Is Craig Wright the multimillionaire genius behind bitcoin: the digital currency now worth over £8bn and threatening to do for banks what Uber did to cab offices? Or does he just really want people to believe he is?

Earlier this year, we were granted an interview with Wright. GQ's Senior Commissioning Editor Stuart McGurk met him, taking along Dr Nicolas Courtois, a lecturer in cryptology at University College London and an expert in bitcoin, as GQ's expert witness.

As you'll hear from the extraordinary audio excerpt below, the encounter - which took place in an office on Tottenham Court Road, central London - grew ever more heated and profane, as Wright grew ever more furious at the questioning that was aimed to verify his claim.

"You've got this one thing," he said at one point. "If you don't like it, fuck off!"

to this day I do not know where the place paypal to bitcoin exchange at low cost, but someone once told me a website using paypal to buy bitcoin. and the web it is VirWox.

The list of bitcoin thefts is far too long. Over the past, almost, eight years, we can roughly estimate $1 billion or more have been stolen. Each time, there is devastation for the individuals involved and the wider community as bitcoin’s security is brought to the forefront. This is followed by a backlash from the wider media and public who have been keen to disparage bitcoin ever since the first major hack in 2011 when many dismissed it as insecure. But, is there a solution or are we forever to live with these far too frequent theft stories?

For bitcoin to function and have any value it needs to be traded and moved from a to b. That means it needs hot wallets. So-called hot because they are available to anyone with skill. In bitcoin’s case, the talent pool is the entire world. Sooner or later, therefore, the wallet will be stolen.

that's good idea, but im not sure you can get 'huge salary' in first time of your job.
then you can't focus at your job and thinking about btcoin and learning bitcoin again

that's only my opinion

but im not sure you will interesting to buy at $1 maybe you will waiting price down to $0.5 
if bitcoin price down to $1 im sure whales will ready to buying at $2, and people can't buy under it

im not philanthropist im just care about surrounding environment, im share my knowledge about bitcoin, sometimes i get PM (in facebook) from people who interesting to know about bitcoin, then i introduce about blockchain, traidng, mining, fauceting, and anything about it.

for me money is like my knowledge, we must not waste it, better donate to people who need it
and don't forget bitcoin is money too

Be afraid: login details for 200 million Yahoo accounts offered for sale on the dark web
If you’ve got a Yahoo, Inc. account you may want to reset your password with news that a hacker is currently offering login data for 200 million Yahoo accounts on the dark web.

The hacker selling the logins goes by the name of Peace_of_Mind (Peace) and is the same hacker behind the release of verified data dumps from both MySpace and LinkedIn.

According to Motherboard the Yahoo account details are being offered for sale on dark web marketplace The Real Deal for a price of 3 bitcoin, which at the time of writing is worth $1,650; Peace told the site that he has been privately trading the data for some time but only now decided to sell it openly.

Yahoo has neither confirmed or denied the allegation, saying only in a standard response that they are “aware of the claim” and that they were “committed to protecting the security of our users’ information and [they] take any such claim very seriously.”

“Our security team is working to determine the facts. Yahoo works hard to keep our users safe, and we always encourage our users to create strong passwords, or give up passwords altogether by using Yahoo Account Key, and use different passwords for different platforms.”

after read this news, i withdraw my bitcoin from all exchanger, my prediction bitfinex will end up like MTgox, then people will panic to sell his bitcoin.
another source news :
http://bravenewcoin.com/news/bitfinex-hacked-halts-trading-deposits-and-withdrawals/
this statement from bitfinex
Bitfinex claims to be doing everything it can to resolve this latest breach. “The theft is being reported to—and we are co-operating with—law enforcement,” the company states.

the price will be rise and fail, it's nor mal of "decentralzation market" , i think better we still use bitcoin as sidejob, but if you want to make bitcoin is your main job, better to make permanent salary per month maybe like 0.5 permonth if bitcoin price rise your salary rising if bitcoin price fail your salary fail too, or you can make permanent salary in fiat, maybe $500/month is enough for life so if bitcoin price fail you must work harder than usual.

I'm not the type of person who will easily spend money mainly for fun, I'll just use my money for charitable activities and things are more important.

Thomson Reuters has joined a consortium of the world’s biggest financial institutions that is working on how to use blockchain technology in global financial markets, the company said on Tuesday.

Blockchain technology powers the digital currency bitcoin, enabling data sharing across a network of individual computers. It has gained worldwide popularity due to its perceived usefulness in recording and keeping track of assets across practically all industries.

Thomson Reuters will be the first major data and technology provider to join R3, the consortium of more than 55 banks and other financial institutions. New York-based fintech firm R3 formed the consortium last year.

Did Bitcoin is revolutionize the concept of money, because for people who understand the world of trading that could be used to revolutionize the concept of the financial us.

Hong Kong-based digital currency exchange Bitfinex said late on Tuesday it has suspended trading on its exchange after it discovered a security breach, according to a company statement on its website.

Bitfinex is one of the largest exchanges for trading digital currencies bitcoin, ether, and litecoin. It has offices in Europe and the United States and is known in the digital currency community for having a platform that has deep liquidity in the US dollar/bitcoin currency pair.

More than what I thought because bitcoin will be entered into a foreign currency exchange / could we call now be used in general. in that's time bitcoin price will be stable.

i spend my bitcoin only for top up number phone, or maybe for pay electric fee, the small merchand in bitcoin is the main problem to people who want to spend his bitcoin, if the bitcoin debit card fee is cheap, im sure people will use the bitcoin debit card for daily usage.

The better to save money in bank because our money in the bank secured, real estate and gold is a very attractive investment because of the resale price of the two products will not be too detrimental to us when we are in need of funds.

The maker of ad-blocking browser Brave has raised $4.5m to expand its effort to let users voluntarily send bitcoin micropayments to their favorite websites in exchange for an ad-free experience.

When Brave Software first unveiled a version of the browser earlier this year, members of the media signed what has been called a cease-and-desist letter addressed to Brave. Signed by some of the biggest publishers in the world, the letter described what they perceived as the browser’s "blatantly illegal" blocking of their ad revenue.

Since then, the company’s founder has been engaging with those media outlets one-on-one in an effort to explain that Brave isn’t meant just to prevent Internet users from having their data mined, but to give media organizations a way to recover revenue from those who are already blocking ads.

In conversation with CoinDesk, Brave Software founder and CEO Brendan Eich said he intends to use the money to double the company's employees from 10 to 20 people and continue to help bridge the gap between content creators and users.
