This post was scarily accurate.
Small wonder. That post was from Atlas. If anyone here knows about backing out of bets via technicalities, it's Atlas. |

Cool. Let me know when they announce that he has 0 stake and gains nothing from the sale & promotion of their magazine.
^This. If he is still profiting, I'm not buying. +1. I did take a look at their advertising page though http://bitcoinmagazine.net/advertise-with-us/Why no advertising rates online? Many papers show their rates online - there is no reason the rates should change from day to day. Newspapers and magazines with a broad general appeal do, yes. Specialist journals like Bitcoin Magazine are a completely different beast of publication though. Most of them do not publically show their ad rates. |

The idea doesn't go far enough. How about firebombing places that don't accept Bitcoin?
"What do you mean: I can't pay my steak with BTC? Have a firebomb."
"This subway ticket machine doesn't accept BTC? Have a firebomb."
"Hello policeofficer, I am here to pay my outstanding parking ticket with these fine BTCs. You what? You don't? Have a firebomb."

The orange and blue lines are high and low margin predictions of the bitcoin value over time based on the high and low trends, the green line represents the median prediction which is basically an average of the high and low margin predictions.
Please don't play the Bitcoin Exchange market. You'll hurt yourself. The orange line are current buy orders, the blue line current sell orders, the green line is the price with the x coordinate showing price of the transaction and the y coordinate showing time (invisibly) with current time being right at the bottom of the axis. |

Before you read this: Please don't judge me... I'm just sharing me story because people asked...
Wow... okay, i wasn't sure if i was ever going to tell anyone about this, but it's late and i'm sleep deprived so i guess i'll just write it now and regret it in the morning...
First of all, just for some backround: My mom died when i was born, (she was actually really really hot, but this isn't about her. i guess that's messed up to say, but oh well) i actually grew up with my dad's family, because my dad has all sorts of emotional issues and he left me before i was born. So you can see, my childhood was really kind of messed up.
Anyways, growing up i felt like there was always a lot of distance between me and my sister. When i was about 17 or 18 i first noticed my sister was a hottie.
i don't want to go into too many details about it, but basically what happened is that i accidentally found a video she made of herself. i knew she didn't make it for me, but i thought she was so beautiful that i watched it twice. (i probably would have watched it a hell of a lot more, except that like right around the time i found the video, all this crazy stuff went on and i had to leave home. (My dad's family who i was staying with got in bad trouble with the law. i never talk about it).
Sooo... i was totally lusting after my sister at that point. She was also having bad trouble with the law. She was actually in custody when i left home.
My friend and i went to go pick her up. When i saw her that day, after seeing the video, i have to be honest, i just wanted to have sex with her so badly. Looking back on it now, its pretty messed up, but i think she had feelings for me too. She actually kissed me right after we came to get her... and it wasn't a sisterly kiss, i mean, it wasn't ridiculously sexual or anything, but it definitely wasn't sisterly.
After we left, we all went to my sister's friends, On the trip there, my friend sort of implied that he wanted to get with my sister, and i got a little jealous. He's a good looking guy, and even though she was my sister, i felt like he was competition. Not much else happened between us for a while except some maybe sexy hugging.
Pretty much everyone in my life at that point was wanted by the government, so we all moved around a lot. I'm not saying that i'm proud of it or anything, but it was kind of an awesome time.
My friend and my sister never hooked up i don't think, but i thought there was some serious sexual tension going on between them. It was around that time that i got really badly hurt in an accident. i was fucked up. i alsmost died. But when i was in recovery my sister came to see me, and out of the clear blue sky she started giving me this awesome, slow, passionate kiss on the lips.
Sadly (although, i guess it was for the best) nothing ever came of it. We spent some time apart... and i started to get really religious, so i tried not to think of her that way. It was actually going well for a long time, like i was completely over her. But i have to say, about a year or so after all that stuff happened, we were out sailing (not like a date or
anything romantic like that), and she was wearing the sexiest bikini i've ever seen and it brought back all the old feelings. *sigh*
A little while later she actually wound up with my friend from before. i can't say i was suprised.
But even after she was hitting it up with my friend, there was one time we were at a party... my friend was inside, and my sister and i were outside alone. It was a really intimate moment. i think something might have happened, except i killed the mood when i told her that Darth Vader was our father and that i had to go face him...

Until people learn to restrain their own greed for three seconds and be able to spot an obvious scammer from the get-go, we'll see another replay of this tragicomedy very soon.
We need a betting thread on who is the next BTC "company" to go tits up stat. I vote DiabloMiner. |

People have hedged with Bitcoin Savings and Trust securities along with Matthew's bet.
So being stupid twice calls for being stupid a third time by calling in the State to protect people from themselves?
I prefer lynch mobs and private justice, but if you don't have any effective means of retribution BTC is not going to fly and will remain an insane asylum of jokes, scammers and trolls. We need this yesterday. A system of retribution is pointless if people refuse to learn basic economics. In essence we would need a system of schools to educate people on correct behaviour, coupled with institutions to enforce said behaviour and a system to dole out reglemented punishment in case of failure to adhere to said behaviour. Also an institution to administrate all that. We could finance it by taking a percentage out of every transaction.  |

I come from eastern Europe. I consider everyone a dishonest and dangerous person, until proven otherwise. If it wasn't for this mindset, I probably wouldn't be alive to write this post.
It's ok if you're proud of being naive. But bear in mind that Bitcoin (and the Internet in general) more resembles eastern Europe than the USA (or whatever liberal, over-protective country you come from).
This. Exactly this. If more people realized this, there would be a lot less victims about. |

Nah, I asked because multi-page spanning tables tend to get whacked outta shape when converted to PDF which would make your "identical copy" requirement a hell of a mess to accomplish.

There's also the indexing bots of search engines grabbing these.

Are there tables in there? Are they multi-page spanning?

Bitcoin Magazine, take note. Give LoupGaroux a regular column to vent in, call it "Speaking my Bit" and sales will go up through the roof.

7. PPTs were "insured" via "Insurance" that was financed through Pirate as well as PPTs. You know, for risk mitigation.

Can the OP change the title. It just looks lame like people are waiting to get paid. Is anyone still holding out hope that account # 24 will be paid in the next few days?
Lemme go setup a 10000 BTC bet about this real quick. |
