Nice strawman - that isn't what I said, you stupid shit.

People that buy up these sell offs will be the new wealthy elite.

Then we can arrest the British monarchy and send them to the guillotine.

I think Ripple is going to be used for decentralized exchange.

Yes, the banking elite is behind the boom/bust cycles.

That's why they have their media mouthpieces at the ready to bash bitcoin about the volatility.

Isn't this the same old MO of the bankers that they trotted out 2 years ago?? Oh wait, isn't this the same MO they used against gold over 100 years ago??? Are people still dumb enough to fall for it and does it even matter??

Look, I had to sign back on this forum just to address this. When I see Alex Jones predict the sell off the day before and the same gang of idiots on youtube suddenly bad-mouthing bitcoin again, its too obvious to pass up.

It's a pretty simple plan: the bankers buy up and then sell off large amounts of bitcoin (100+ years ago they did it with gold), then they use their media mouthpieces to claim that the volatility makes it a failure as a currency. Back at the beginning of the 20th century, they used this technique as an excuse to call for an "elastic" currency controlled by central bankers.

Are people still dumb enough to fall for that and does it matter?

Seems to me all this strategy does with bitcoin is make the price go up faster. Each time they do this it is going to bring in new interest and while some will panic sell, many will hold while they wait for the price to return to where they bought in.

But yeah, if you actually needed more proof that Alex Jones is cointel, now you have it.

Badbear...just dropped in to say you are one of the reasons I'm leaving this forum.

Your idea of "trolling" is saying things you personally don't like. That's a weak way to moderate a forum. You have the maturity of a little kid - "I'm taking my ball and going home! You're not my friend anymore!"

This forum has gone to shit. I'm outta here.

Can Theymos please point out what post by Goat was worthy of a permanent ban? I just red through his last posts and saw nothing deserving of that.

If I'd known that I never would have put any money into GLBSE.

Some of the things that people believe...are they really that brainwashed/stupid?

Some of you should actually READ the case studies that have been done with marijuana before making yourselves look like imbeciles whose entire knowledge about marijuana came from the "Just Say No" campaign.

Marijuana, when its effects were actually studied in a 10 year case study, has been shown to be GOOD for your lungs:

Oh yeah, and it cures cancer.

Instead of worrying about how to go after people like pirate, how about worrying about how stupid people are to fall for such a thing in the first place?

If you give your money to someone you never met, who won't even tell you how he is investing it, but claims unrealistic returns, than frankly, you deserve to lose your money.

You'd have to be either naive or just out to make a point to get in a bet with a piece of shit like Matthew. The guy is a meth head sleazeball who has yet to do anything meaningful in life.

I think its odd that so many people on here defend pirate.

Particularly Matthew Wright, who has always been quick to call everyone else a scammer who wasn't 100% transparent. He called bitscalper a scammer just for claiming 5% weekly returns based on arbitrage, but pirate claims 7% and he's willing to bet $100,000 that he's honest.

It seems to me that there are a lot of people here that are in on this with pirate. Matthew is definitely one of them. Hmmm...seems he was involved with another scammer just recently too.

I'm blown away by the gullibility of people here.

and yet they still haven't given him the scammer tag.  WTF !!!

+1 to the title of this thread   

I've always thought he's into meth.

+1

I never invested in pirate because I don't think anyone can promise a 7% weekly return, but that last statement is all I need to know he's a scumbag. Even if he pays back, which I doubt, why would anyone want to do business with someone who makes comments like that?
