It is not one person and if you think that then you are either highly selective of the facts or poorly informed.

Back to our Normaly scheduled broadcast.

What a weekend. Bitfinex bitcoin theft and what seemed like an opportune time to wash them pushing LTC/BTC up while bitcointalk.org was compromised.

I would not be surprised to see a similar event when bitstamp stolen btc was used in the ltc dump btc pump 3 months 4 weeks back.

Fun Event.

You are correct.

The OP agenda is far more dubious then the message.


Unfortunately those new to crypto currencies may not know that those altcoin's are pegged to the value of bitcoin.

Altcoin's pale in comparison to bitcoin and it's volume leaving them susceptible to market manipulation (pump and dump).

The bitcoin community and infrastructure rival ALL altcoin's combined.

I am not so sure. We seem to have a balanced market at this moment.

Lawsuits and effects on credit rating are hypothetical and may remain a non issue. However if their revenue is from mining proceeds and if the value of BTC/USD drops below profitable mining then...

If prices drop btc to usd on the open global market, then knc credit ratings will play asignificant part on the value of XBT shares.

Many have the sentiment that bitlicence will have a greater effect on prices than either of these two.

I think this is one of them...

Nah...

The fact is that they are being disingenuous in their reporting and have no intention of providing facts as long as they "sell papers".

However as far as ransom-ware attacks, bitmain and other service providers that rely on the internet to do business have been targeted by these types.

Like cash bitcoin comes with no charge backs. SO even if they are found and prosecuted they at least get to live off the proceeds of crime for a time.

P.S.

Considering how big the currency market is. This interruption is something big banks contend with easily.

Looking at Bitcoin's total trading volume today, one can quickly deduce that Bitcoin is not a substitute for how traditional currencies continue to enable criminal activity.

Your dignity for reading between the lines of what goes for news these days!


I found this rather humerus as well. The way they word it leaves the impression that the inventor as having swindled the bitcoin community of its wealth, however even as a stretch of the facts, there is no "Lie" in the statement.

I am sure Satoshi would have a bone to pick with the author.

Can someone simplify this sentence below?


"Bitcoin is bassed on the foresight to use the strongest foundation within our grasp to develop enduring relationship."
