Santa Clause is coming to town.

Largest US Bitcoin Exchange Ordered To Disclose Three Years Of User Data To IRS
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-12-01/largest-us-bitcoin-exchange-ordered-disclose-three-years-user-data-irs

Quote
We concluded our report by wishing "Good luck to Coinbase fighting the IRS: if America's tax collector is intent on getting the identities of the biggest traders are in America's largest bitcoin exchange, it will certainly succeed (especially if they happen to be conservatives)."

Alas, our best wishes were not enough, and yesterday a federal court in the Northern District of California ordered Coinbase to disclose what the IRS has demanded: all American user transactions from 2013 to 2015.

The executed DOJ order:
https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/914226/download

Quote
Despite the order, Coinbase has vowed to continue the fight: "We look forward to opposing the DOJ's request in court after Coinbase is served with a subpoena," a spokesman for the San Francisco-based company said in an email to Reuters.

Coinbase remains concerned with its U.S. customers' privacy rights in the face of the government's request, he added, although he is likely far less concerned than any people who used Coinbase from 2013 to 2015, and who may soon be getting a visit from the taxman, even if they have done nothing illegal. As for the myth that trading bitcoin by ordinary Americans provides some additional layer of privacy, that is about to be thoroughly debunked.

Now the question is what head of the hydra will take over to protect the privacy?

Unfortunately, it won't matter.

The bitcoin subreddits definitely have a tendency to praise and ONLY praise bitcoin. Rarely do I ever see a thread or post that puts bitcoin in a negative light. Only posts about the value of bitcoin going up or the adoption of bitcoin by various business/government agencies across the world are upvoted. Very one-sided discussion if you ask me.

 Cheesy

Sounds like bitcointalk.org!

They hate negative posts around these parts.

Unless it's guided negative posts that is.

Then it is free game.

i don't see where a blockchain is applicable in this case. there won't be any miners. looks like just another database which has been available for a long ass amount of time already.
Yup ;] without CHINA its just another database. Using fancy words like blockchain won't change that.
Cloud services all over again when its only putting ur own data to someone's else computers. Fancy words...

Fixed

So I talk about a factual day (Bitcoin Pizza Day) and the thread gets scrubbed almost instantly and the op can call everyone a sheep and it stays?

Welcome to the Bitcoin state.

Follow the status quo.

No wonder you guys are divided.

If you want to read this "spam" as some have called it go here:

http://lunaticoutpost.com/thread-713227.html

Find out what they were doing as they carried the carrot in front of your nose.

The thing about spam is it has a long shelf life.

Especially the truth kind.

Enjoy with some cheese and bread and please send me some bad rep if you despise it.

From what i understand is they have like 75% of control of the  BTC mining. The reason is the cheap technology they have like mother boards and other components. Not to mention the cheap energy they have. Its very hard in the USA where i live to compete with them due to how expensive energy and computers are here.
You're absolutely correct and that's the point why China is the controller of bitcoin. But I don't know is hard for people to accept this cos you can't run away from the truth.

The Chinese are only controlling the mining of the bitcoin. But the miners can also be built by westerners.

But they aren't because that is what the left in the US has been doing for years.

Outsource to China.

They don't want to listen.

Now that the Yuan is getting weaker it will get worse.

Step 1 make Bitcoin and get rich.

Step 2 go to the most populous nation and let them make you more rich....

How is step 2 working out?

What is step 3?

India?

Maybe it is hand it over to the government so they can continue to tax us to death.

Bitcoin is fine but the people running it have no idea what they are doing.

But don't mention this to to many people.

They will get mad.

Bitcoin is pro bank and pro pizza.

http://lunaticoutpost.com/thread-713227.html

You learned something new to shill about, because you are repeating the same old "Pizza" statement over and over again. The LN thing has

not even be decided yet, and everyone wants to bash it to pieces. FFS, SegWit has not even received consensus yet. This is getting silly and

boring at the same time.  Roll Eyes

You learned something new to rail against.

This place is reminding more and more of the Paycoin debacle.

They had a cozy little forum where the participants so wholly believed that their ideas were right and just.

It just kept going on and on until it fizzled out to nothing.

No one wanted to listen to the nay sayers.

No one wanted to hear anything negative about their beloved idea.

Your comments fall upon deaf ears.

If Bitcoin = no choice then that is a future I do not want to be part of.

Doesn't mean I have to walk away from the forum because you don't like it.

That would be more like a dictatorship.

So as you put it I will continue to "shill" and you can continue to rail against my shilling.

Bitcoin isn't broken it is the people involved in it.

You can keep trying to mask the issues and greed with "consensus" but all those will not go away.

It will continue to happen until liquidators liquidate.

It wasn't meant to go light speed and somehow it managed to get pushed that fast anyways.

Bitcoin might have a rough time with Trump around.

Already the Dollar is soaring and the Yuan is crashing.

If this continues then it does not bode well for Bitcoin because most demand is coming from China.


92  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price increase attributed to rising Chinese demand for cryptocurrency on: November 30, 2016, 02:34:01 PM
As the Yuan falls in value against all other currencies of the world I just don't see how many more Chinese can even afford Bitcoin.
93  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would happen if BTC was Banned? on: November 30, 2016, 02:25:02 PM
It's not if but when.

You may need to change your thread title.
94  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think are the biggest disadvantages of Bitcoin? on: November 30, 2016, 02:24:10 PM
The pizza to BTC ratio has dramatically changed.
