Nice to hear Peter pointing out how galactically stupid a BTC ETF is.
My guess is these Winklevoss freaks are part of some inbred bloodline and have been so pampered their whole lives they have no idea just how stupid they really are.

For being so rich and famous, this is soooo stupid.

I'm afraid I've lost my faith in Bitcoin. Somebody save me..
Faith? Faith is dumb. If you base your investments on faith maybe you should be saving tulip bulbs. |

Man, reading this thread really makes me lose faith in humanity. Full of dumbasses.
You still have faith in humanity? Are you a shut-in with no interest in history? I just figured that maybe people who were into bitcoin would be smarter than this. Guess I was wrong. |

No one here can even say for sure that the guy is even a real person. Probably just more media BS.

A lot of people have woken up to the fact that the US government conducts routine psy-ops in the form of staged terror attacks:
9-11
Aurora theater shooting
Sandy Hook
Boston bombing
etc, etc...
A lot of people have also ID'd the crisis actors used to pull off these events like Adam Walton, Dana Disenso, David & francine Wheeler, Karen Dryer, etc, etc...
I've been aware of staged psy-ops since 2006 when I woke up to how 9-11 was pulled off and am getting tired of the BS. I would like to attempt to actually start confronting these perps and getting it on tape for the world to see.
I would need funding though, and I don't think there is enough people woke up to the fact yet to do that, but I'd be curious to know just how many on this site would be interested in paying for such an investigation.
Expected statist trolling will just be ignored.

I've been working on the assumption that the Foundation is going to respond. That is more or less the Foundation's reason for being. So although ignoring it would also be a sort of message, it doesn't take a foundation to do that. You and me can do that on our own as you wisely observed.
TBF could have simply answered with a list of questions aimed for making sure the burden of proof is on California bureaucrats for the accusation they maybe making, e.g.: - what evidence (if any) you rely on to prove California laws apply to TBF? - what evidence (if any) you rely on to prove that what you call ''Bitcoin'' is money? - what evidence (if any) you rely on to prove .... If you ask bureaucrats for facts and evidence they normally freak out and shut up. Cause they have no facts relating to the theorem they want to prove, not to mention evidences. I see someone is familiar with Marc Stevens and the No-State-Project. The Bitcoin Foundation does not engage in any of these regulated activities. Furthermore, even if it did engage in these activities, it does not have any business operations in California that would subject it to the Department of Financial Institution's ("DFI") jurisdiction.
-
The Bitcoin Foundation does not have business operations in California that would subject it to the DFI's jurisdiction. [...] The Bitcoin Foundation provides no direct money services to any California consumers.
-
The Bitcoin Foundation is not in the business of selling bitcoin to consumers and does not otherwise operate a bitcoin exchange.
-
Bitcoins are not written or signed notes or drafts, and therefore, are not payment instruments regulated by the California Money Transmitter Act.
-
There is no issuer of bitcoin that would be subject to licensure as a money transmitter under California law.
-
The fact that bitcoin does not fit within the definition of payment instruments or stored value does not mean it is automatically regulated by the money transmission prong.
-
The same rationale that applied to the sale of a peso should prevail under the California statute with regard to the sale of a bitcoin.
-
The Bitcoin Foundation requests that your office issue an opinion that [...] the sale of a bitcoin is not regulated under the California Money Transmitter Act.
Pretty rational response. |

I was going to quit posting in this thread but this is just too much glaring bullshit: What the hell man? How can you even say something like that? You have the whole thing backwards. Without regulation there is no way of making Marijuana unavailable to the masses. It was the government who made it a Schedule 1 drug (without proven medical benefits) contrary to expert opinion in the first place, remember? Or are you now saying that people can't even grow pot if the government doesn't help them out? I thought you were serious the whole time, now I suspect you might just be trolling... Might be? He's already been added to my "ignored" list, and I'm sure he'll be on more and more as long as he keeps posting. |

I thought fraud was part of the common law. They're certainly guilty of that.

No. Unlike the one in NH, you can find no videos of activism there. There are no events there. Mainly because, there just aren't that many people. It's not the most convenient place to live for most people. That's why somewhere more centralized, with closer access to a populated city makes more sense. Ouray, CO has close access to Montrose, where people could commute to work. Montrose is a relatively small city but it has a Target, Home Depot and an airport. |
