I did not think they would pay it. Instead of them focussing on the fact it was Bitcoin why not just say 17K in ransom, leaving off the Bitcoin.

Does not matter what it is, it is centralized and that is the key word. Anything centralized cannot compete with bitoin, IMO.

Terrorists use whatever they can. Bitcoin is new, how have they been operating for decades? Also, we should ban email too because of that Nigerian that sends me emails to transfer money for him, I think my grandma got the same email. Ban email! ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

Very nice. Yes, the party is coming to a close.

Slightly concerning the price won't rise as high as it should as a result of the halving due to all of this potential HF FUD.
I think you might be right. For some reason I am starting to feel the rise before halving will be lackluster. If Bitcoin avoids bad press it should be stable at least.

Just a ridiculous psyop. Not a good headline for Bitcoin at all. If you wanted to smear it, this would be a good way. The price seems not to be affected as it is over $400.

To think that you could get 1-2BTC on faucets is mind blowing. I wonder if some of the people still have faucet bitcoins or if they sold them. I would not have been able to hodl that long.

totally interesting story. see how great Bitcoin is...it even discourages killing haha.

I expect a gradual rise prior to halving, then a sharper rise right before, then a fall and correction. Who really knows though?

If it becomes the globes main currency then yes. The potential for 1mill a coin is there but it could be attacked by those that do not want to lose their power they have built on fiat. Will be fun to watch.

Several, some have only a little bit. I like that some wallets give you a new address everytime for new transactions. Just feels better to not have everything in one place.

Wonder how that GoFundMe campaign will work out. LOL

I was just thinking about this today...I say he will be positive for Bitcoin. If he truly is about going after the "establishment" then Bitcoin is the currency to make that happen. I cannot see him being bad for Bitcoin.

Litecoin price will see at least $15 this year. Mark my words.
I agree this is possible, especially if there is a lot of confidence in alt currencies in general. Also, if Bitcoin goes up, LTC should follow on its own scale.

It is not possible. Bitcoin is a decentralized situation and it is it not possible for a lawsuit. Who do you sue?

Anyone still asking about the button should be kicked from the signature. They obviously post in threads without reading them. Time to clean house of people that are abusing the forum.
That is true this is an old issue and always happen from time to time,happens to me three times already so I am not at all bothered by things anymore it will fix by itself,but if it still not working for a week then that will be time that we need to ask the support team about this issue.. Great test to see if people are spamming or really posting after reading through a thread. The number of people claiming they have no idea what is going on do not read prior responses.

I like this positive thinking towards the price. Who knows, you may be right that we could reach 600 prior to summer.

Does anyone care about this other than Venezuelans? I can see why Greece was a big deal in the minds of many here but even then it didn't really have much effect on bitcoin. I don't see why this would.
yes, I think of Greece and think 'Nothing to See Here People, move along'. Don't think it is Greece, not sure about this rise.

Good news that they are accepting it...what I would like to see is places accepting it and not turning into fiat, would rather have it flow to a btc wallet than a fiat bank.
