It looks like we're heading into a full scale currency war now.
The feds cannot win, but they're going to hurt a lot of people on their way down.

Well, Bitcoin isn't an investment, it's a cryptocurrency.
I constantly see you pointing out to morons people in here the obvious. Does your forehead hurt yet from banging it against the wall?

This creates an awesome buying opportunity.

Dumb and full of logical fallacy. No surprise.

That's not manipulation. Manipulation is when one group has a different set of rules than another group.
+1 Bitcoin can't be "manipulated". A lot of folks on here are pretty clueless about how the market works.

The whole story is probably made up.

LOL @ how Peter just tosses logic out the window when bitcoin is the topic.
He really doesn't have a choice. He needs to sell gold.

I warned about these guys when they very first came out.

Even better would be a bitcoin shark tank where all the sharks are early bitcoin adopters.
Have Ver, Keiser, Voorhees, and maybe even a Winklevoss invest REAL money - bitcoin - into young bitcoin startups.

The best thing about crypto is that fools are parted with their money much faster.

... has anybody said "She was asking for it" yet?
Can't we let this thread die already?
Shush, this is a great thread where terrible people out themselves. Definitely getting to see who the awkward geeks are that still worship women because they feel inadequate due to growing up with an overbearing mother.

Be patient, OP. Finally - somebody who has held his account since May 2011... and that's all you have to say? Pretty much. The price has gone up hundreds of dollars in just 3 months. If any security on the stock market went from $150 to $850 in 3 months, people would be going nuts. In Bitcoinworld, people feel its not happening fast enough. As far as being here from 2011 - I got super stoked watching the price go up to $30, and watched and read countless stories and vids about how bitcoin was going to zero in the months that followed. It spent the remainder of the year and much of 2012 languishing in single digit prices before finally cracking $10 again- and that was huge news at the time. So yeah, just be patient. Buying crypto at todays prices will make you look like a genius in a year or two - count on it. Just be patient. That's great to hear, coming from somebody who has been in this game for that long, and obviously successfully. I have a question though: Back then, was the cycle of business expansion/rise of BTC price seemingly out of sync as well? It seems like they are not happening simultaneously at all, and I'm wondering why. There wasn't a whole lot of big news as far as merchants go in 2011, other than the Silk Road. I predicted back in Oct that the price would hit $1000 late January so the quick rise I felt was a little too soon when compared to the difficulty increase imo. I think the biggest problem is that people trust the news cycle too much. If you ignore it, you'll find it easier to buy on bad news and sell on good news by just following the numbers.

The problem is: He was the chief compliance officer and he went out of his way to tell shady people how to fly under the radar..
Well, there is always going to be a profit motive there with cryptocurrencies. Kinda like SR offers amazing opportunities to Postal Inspectors.

No, actually, that's not what it's like to be a woman at a bitcoin meeting. That is what it is like to be her, a person looking to start an Internet career through the good ol' victim + guilt + white knight combo. Everyone will run to her rescue and the community will now prove that this is not the case...Honestly, it's probably a great move for her.
I definitely don't agree with the behavior at the meeting, but how about being a little more proactive? Say, starting your own meetup empowering career oriented women (or empowering both sexes equally) instead of running to the Internet and spreading statements that just aren't true. I attend the SF Bitcoin Social Meetup all the time and women are encouraged to present and speak (and they do). I haven't seen any such behavior there so I am very curious as to where this all happened and why she took the approach that she did.
^this. The author should meet me if she really wants to be demeaned. I'd love to explain to her what a low life she is.

Yeah, they mentioned it some Karl Urban show, 'Almost Human', a while back too. I don't think anyone was watching though.

What's so ridiculous is that you're all arguing over just another made-up news story. Shrem isn't in jail - of course. He's just another actor in the Masonic Theater.
The news was crafted just for you, right in time for their regulations hearing.

Let's remember that Charlie Shrem admitted ON THIS FORUM that he was a member of the Rothschild family. That, and the fact he was able to move large sums around and clear regulatory hurdles before anyone else means he's connected.
This whole event is just theater; psychological warfare. Are you buying it?
Care to show this post? I doubt there is one... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=67452.msg782294#msg782294
