Well, when everyone knows that ponzi is ponzi, it is not really a ponzi since no one is lying to any one here.

If there ponzi people doesn't know it is ponzi, yeah we have a problem here. Some evidences would be nice, but we all know it is a problem.

Yesterday there were large sell of bitcoins on market. Even though it is hard to tell if it was one person selling or just some random panic, but whenever something like that happens once in awhile, I always think about those big bitcoin holders out there

You want to gather nicknames and ips of people that should get hacked ? I guess most of people who make a lot of money on it, and there are plenty of them, will probably stay low. Look on Satoshi. He is smart, probably already bought his own island and he's considering how many wifes he should have.

China has weird currency. It is control by government in a weird way, I'm not sure if it still like it was when i was reading article in Scientific American about it. In general they currency is controlled in such way prices stay same and we all know it is artificial as hell. Post-soviet countries had same problem with currency controlling so hard to pretend there are no inflation, even though there always is.

On other hand I hear all the time China move closer to free market, moving from Marx to Confucian  way of doing business. Maybe there were any changes but i still guess any other currency, especially one you can use all over the world and is not accepted as official currency, so smaller control from government, might be very nice for them.

I haven't heard about this hornet's nest post before, I guess mostly because I'm not that much into spy novels But it is nice to get this info from you. Now i understand why he is keeping low.

This thread is very interesting to read right now. I notice some people being rather pessimistic at start but I'm guessing you don't worry any more

I actually wonder for how many years it will be updated and how often

Well difficulty of bitcoin has an impact on price, but not other way around. Well maybe because number of miners changes accordingly to current coin price, but it is not super flexible since mines require certain investment that you can't monetize right away at point when you decide it is not worth it. S til some people stop mining, it becomes easier for other people, so in general people don't want to stop, hoping that others would.

Even at global panic, with large withdrawal, mining would become so easy people who actually keep they cool wins.

But you lose anything there or they just wont execute your order ? How much did you lose? Maybe some screenshots.

Self audit ? I guess BP had such one before they spoil ocean. I think people should watch themselves and stop placing all of money on exchanges, instead just money they want trade with. Not to mention cold wallets etc.

It is free market and being best exchange is profitable because people will trust them, trust them with they money and coins. Soon we shall have such giants while some fail exchanges would still appear and fall

It is rather hard to tell if it is real one. But if it is, just WOW.

I gues if he watched news recently he could get angry everyone is thinking he is some old dude with government paranoia hehe

Well he might get forgotten after awhile. I think if people really would want to know who he is, someone would already hack his accounts and trace his ip or something. For now it is nice to have some mythology and something to get excite about. It puts much more history into bitcoin community.

It was so obvious it was fake. Anonymous person using real name, some random old dude who had recently stroke. Newsweek that everyone forget still exists.

Maybe next time people will be smarter.

eh another faucet...

People really should try something new, like faucet that actually do something useful.

Not to mention there are a lot of scams out there. I can't tell anything about this one though. For me it is just another one, among hundreds.

Nice someone make list of it, but I'm afraid it is much better to just go mine instead of trying to get some "free" bitcoins

But again, good job on gathering all of them. It is definitely nice, large and probably camplete list of those kind of sites

He was drunk lest night, probably you sponsored his alcohol

Nice that you placed all of those screen shots, I'm afraid atomic trade won't have many more customers

Probably everyone acknowledge it was fake, swear to never buy Newsweek and move on.

When it comes to Satoshi background i don't even think he would need any financial background. Finances knowledge is probably not that necessary, not to mention if he is smart enough and for sure he is, he can just easy learn on his own without college or anything.

Great job on this one. Also i like you actually take feedback into account and fix some minor problems. More people should start to act like that. Definitely I'll use this one, probably even today .

I'm not accusing goxcoin since i have like totally no information about it.

I am afraid though, that there might be incoming scams that would prey on gox victims and would try to make even more money on it. Mt.gox will definitely be big traumatic event for bitcoin world but we need to get over it soon since world is slowly but surely developing and we need to keep moving too. Message to all of mt.gox clients - try more "traditional" way of dealing with this problem.

Message for future clients of any exchange - don't keep all money at one place, use cold wallets, move to exchange sites only coins you want to trade with.

Russia is doing similar thing as America. Even though officially world is no longer at cold war, somehow there are still different dictators being supported by different bigger countries. Egypt by USA, Syria by Russia, North Korea by China. Nuclear weapon saves us from any bigger war since everyone knows it would be our lest one. Current atomic weapons are much more powerful then those used on Japan

This future inflation rate is rather confusing since it is not exactly stable change rate. How can you determine future sudden change while the value and moment of change can't be predicted by trend or past changes in any way. Unless there is possibility for it.
