Mark my words, before too long banks will be offering to hold your bitcoin for you (securely of course) and transferring between fiat to btc, and back, with little to no fee as incentive.

Rofl maybe they should learn about ssl certs first before they try to offer a bitcoin wallet.

Fail. Dutch Rabobank rejects own crypto wallet
“Rabobit is a pilot and no part of our services. The position of our Ethical Commission with regards to cryptocurrency trading remains valid”.

-Everybody is corrupt and nobody knows anything. That lot probably just want to fill a database with email addresses of the vulnerable.

The @wizsecurity Craig Wright/Kleiman blog post has been altered in the last 4 hours. Roger Ver's name has been removed from the list of address owners, now simply reads "MtGox user"

@WhalePanda 23 hours ago
Replying to @DanDarkPill @wizsecurity
But it's a known RV address, it was the one he send coins from to Bitfinex to pump BCash in November.

In addition, check out the background of the WizSec team.
Most are now employed by Roger Ver.
Emil Oldenburg former WizSec partner is now CTO of http[]://Bitcoin.com
Daniel Kelman was a co-founder of WizSec.
He is currently general counsel for [Bitcoin .com]

-so a fraud inside a lawsuit in a scam or something like that

Giancarlo really is a secret bitcoiner. Infiltrates the SEC. Blows it up. Much to the consternation of the old guard.

“This is actually mind-boggling that they are allowing investing in this at all,” said Angela Walch, an associate professor who specializes in digital money and financial stability at St. Mary’s University School of Law. “It could absolutely skew their regulatory decisions.”

The CFTC should be trying to regulate digital tokens, not allowing its workers to speculate on them, added Painter, a professor at University of Minnesota Law School. “This just looks terrible.”
I did not expect regulators to take this path to regulating themselves into the ground.

I guess what it really means is that the staff there have studied the space and are clamouring to invest in proper coin because they understand it's a good idea.

    Billionaire philanthropist and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said no technology has "caused deaths in a fairly direct way" to the extent that cryptocurrencies have.
    He said that the ease with which people can anonymously buy drugs is a major problem, and suggested that cryptocurrencies are used to launder money and fund terrorist organizations.
    Gates also added that "the speculative wave" around initial coin offerings and cryptocurrencies is "super risky."


Bill Gates is the same guy who said "64 kB should be enough for anyone". Now he denies the quote is legit, but he sure acted like it, failing to endow DOS and the first Windows versions with proper memory addressing.

Bill Gates is also the same guy who thought the Internet, anarchic network of networks as it used to be, would be a passing fad and everyone would just use the Microsoft Network.

Bill Gates is the same guy who can't quote you the price of common groceries found in the store, because he's up in the Ivory Tower along with the rest of the billionaires.

 In conclusion
Most of these addresses actually have only one thing in common, which is a big clue to why they're in the list: they at some point held significant amounts of bitcoin in them.

This isn't some grand conspiracy of having stolen a million bitcoins, it's some guy browsing a "blockchain rich list", picking out a couple of addresses at random and saying "I own those" for whatever reasons, while offering no evidence except for some clumsy document backdating. These claims would never have gotten past an actual specialist.

While the lawsuit is a nonsensical fight over unrelated funds that never belonged to either party, it offers the rest of us a valuable reminder of how you'll easily get taken advantage of if you don't follow the #1 rule of Bitcoin:
Don't trust. Verify.
Put simply, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Fortunately, thanks to Bitcoin, that's now as easy as a single cryptographic signature.

Funny how Wright has never provided one?

I find it interesting that the story about craig wright being satoshi has resurfaced again.
Not only in this thread, but I saw a few more topics on the forum today. I am not a veteran in the crypto space like most of you are, so I do not know if this has happened many times before. But I have noticed that certain news stories(if you can call them news) get recycled every once in a while. Which has an impact on newer people in crypto. Perhaps creating uncertainty or doubt?

Well don't just stand there.  Post some walls. 
No. My reading of the thread reveals there's no point believing in them. It's all too easily manipulated, so it means very little to discuss them.
Also I feel like Darwin this morning.

But I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything.
So i bow out gracelessly, flicking v's at all y'all

Ugh. The deeper you dig, the more your hands are covered in poo.   There’s a lesson here somewhere.

Use a shovel? Wear gloves? Blame JJG? Hodl?

I am getting angry, guys (and gal).

It's not going to be looking pretty in this thread if these JJG ease of references continue.  Tongue


I'm sure you'd feel great and the thread would look much prettier if you weren't so miserly with your merits.

Miserly, spiezerly.   Tongue   





What's so funny is that theymos thought you had a clue about what makes a good post. There is no evidence for that.

Perhaps it was a pity merit-source allocation. You are a special one, sorta thing.

SEC blesses Circle/Polo and will not 'pursue any enforcement action for prior activity'

expect alts/fiat trading pairs to compete with fiat/btc
