How long is left before all the IPO money that was earmarked to pay developers has been spent, ot has it already gone? Will all the highest paid developers stop developing full time after their wages cease? They need money to live, and have limited spare time to code for nothing.
Dont know if he specifically meant wages, but theres this..... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=428589.msg12842408#msg12842408 |

So, the guy who people think is Satoshi (Nick S), is speaking with the guy who is claiming to be Satoshi? Interesting!   |

no proofs, just stupid journalism.
You have to admit, he surely fits the profile better than Dorian Nakamoto, if half of what they are saying is true.  He seems to be very intelligent, private and very much into Bitcoin. He has some Libertarian background and he wanted to create his own Bitcoin Bank. I think the Australian government will take this very seriously now, and he will be investigated from all angles. I will not trade places with him for the next couple of months. The media are going to have a field day with this now. ^hmf^ Yep, but looks like for other reasons.... http://www.coindesk.com/police-raid-home-of-alleged-bitcoin-creator-craig-wright/ |

We believe that the altcoin market is stuck in a fatal loop;
I don't recall ever seeing any evidential support for this claim, did I miss something? Cheers Graham The conversation what role alts actually play, has so far only been along the lines of "it can do things that Bitcoin cant" or "its a test-bed for Bitcoin" etc. To some degree those claims are valid, but how many alts does it really need to carry out those so-called benefits and alternative ways of doing things with the blockchain? Surely not 500+ can all be for the benefit of exploring different uses of blockchain tech. That just cant be true. So somewhere, a large part of creating yet another shit-coin, is for either self-enrichment, or, just because you can, or, a deluded self belief that you have 'the one', or vanity etc. In all these cases, its not only wasting resource, its plain to see its also self-destructive, ultimately. |

It all comes down to transparency. If you ask for income proof, mining address, photos, names and those are not provided, you simply pass on the offer. Do not feed the scammers.
For loans, yes. But for assets/equities, you also need to be able to judge integrity and competency. |

that is very true, there are risks of losing cash or Btc through scammers but that does not mean that we cannot invest. negative people have been there since history began, they are the reason that the security systems are put in place. or we need to do is be careful while dealing with people. the only rule that can always keep you safe is that " never trust anyone but yourself". there are good people out there
You clearly aren't here since some years. Practically every bitcoiner was the way you are now. Until he learned better. When 95% of all investments, and that is no joke, turn out to be a scam, being hacked or run by inept businessmans then you need to be sceptic. Even the most promising and legit and official projects turned scam. NeoBee for example. Cyprus bitcoin bank. Very legit... until the owner scammed everyone. Believe me, there is practically no early adopter who did not lose the majority, all or at least a huge part of his coins to scams. And they surely weren't dreamers. Spreading risk did not help either. Bitcoin area is simply very very dangerous. If you take this lightly then you will have to learn it the hard way. And that is a costly way. So so true. And you would think that such a high profile, very public, real bricks and mortar operation, like NeoBee, imploding like it did, would be all you'd need to know about the risks of this space.....but no.....the scams and gross incompetence still prevails. Good luck finding the 5%, people. |

Maybe some day reliable brokers will accept deposits in bitcoins, so you could in some sense invest in for example the stock market using bitcoins.
https://1broker.com/I said reliable, like Interactive Brokers. And there you can just buy CFD... Fair enough. Try IG Index .... http://www.ig.com/uk/bitcoin-btc |

Bitcointalk securities reputation is so bad no self respecting company would even bother.
99% of the blame for that falls on the people who invested in things like Goat's fictional rice patty field or usagi's endless ponzi funds. It got to the point where issuers weren't even listing where their revenue was going to come from. They just claimed a return and people piled in. I do wish there were more good options so that sites tracking these securities would pop up, more investment was directed at worthy targets, and maybe even analysts popping up to cover them. Right now, you are right, there is very little investment happening here due to the endless scam attempts and lack of BTC by it's remaining users. It is a shame, because I think that this type of micro-security and Bitcoin is a perfect match with all sorts of potential to build some really great stuff. Oh well... To my knowledge the last real exchange for Bitcoin fundraising is not havelock but bnktothefuture that said the capital requirements to fundraise their tend to be greater than the tiny IPO's and share offers available on bitcoin exchanges, that and the shares are not traded on open exchange. Basically alt-coin trading is the new securities. Has anyone actually used bnktothefuture? Is it possible to make any money on these startup companies? How does that work? I haven't used it myself but I brought it up crazyivan so I'll add some more details. The reason I'm aware of the site is because of some successful launches like Bitpesa (Even though they had issues lately the challenges of micro finance and banking ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1263524.msg13072489#msg13072489) and RT Max Keiser has been running tranches on it and paying daily dividends which is why people are buying into it. For those who are curious Keiser is from the Keiser Report on Russia Today, its been making returns as its in the third tranche and I should have clarified most companies are large scale investment that said there are minor ones like Bitcoin Capital as well. Links below for those who are curious. https://bnktothefuture.com/pitches/2081/_bitcoin-capital-crypto-fund-managed-by-max-keiser-simon-dixon.htmlhttps://bnktothefuture.com/pitches/2120/_bitcoin-capital-tranche-2-crypto-fund-managed-by-max-keiser-simon-dixon.htmlhttps://bnktothefuture.com/pitches/2543/_bitcoin-capital-3-bitcoin-fund-managed-by-simon-dixon-and-max-keiser-that-pays-daily-dividends-in-bitcoin.htmlAt the least in these type of assets their is a lot more promise than some other listings I've seen as always their is risk of course but it's true startup investment. Thank you for this. I ve also been looking into them but I was unable to find any success stories from small startup investors. If this is good, there must be someone who has invested and can share their experience. Yes, its not easy finding that info (ROI, Divs, P&L, etc.) But I noticed Shapeshift was a funded company. I would have thought, this would be the best metric and demonstration of what a 'successful' investment looks like, within this context. https://bnktothefuture.com/pitches/2090/_shapeshift-io-now-every-bitcoin-merchant-accepts-alternative-crypto-currencies.html |
