wrong, pireate. bitcoin has taken off because its not regulated.
It hasn't taken off yet. What can you buy for BTC? I can count the things if I take off my pants and my shoes. Either you are a hideous mutant freak of nature or have never heard of Bitmit, where hundreds of things are on sale for BTC. And BTW, fuck coercive government interference in the economy (ie regulation). Use Helicopter Ben's Fiat Funbucks if you like central planning. Bitmit? A nice start but that counts like Amazon Auctions counts as a place where you can spend dollars. Taking off implies anyone really gives a shit about it or a significant number of people rely upon it for income, beyond trading it back and forth with Funbucks. An ecosystem worth a few million dollars has not "taken off". That time is yet to come. Amazon Auctions had nothing to do with Bitmit and is merely a red herring. Initially, you claimed to be able to count the things you can buy for BTC if you take off your pants and shoes. When I pointed out that Bitmit alone (not to mention Memory Dealers and all the rest listed at https://www.spendbitcoins.com/places/) proves you are wrong, you ran away from your previous claim to a different position. Nice job at moving the goalposts. That's a good way to destroy your credibility. Also, the market cap of BTC is about 100 million. That's not "a few million" as you disdainfully claimed. 100 is quite a lot of millions, but you can't bring yourself to be anything but purposefully obtuse and sarcastically negative. Another good way to lose credibility. I agree that BTC has not taken off. It's at the stage where the internet was in the early 90s, before email and the web. But that grain of truth doesn't help make your lies and fallacies any more persuasive. Good luck with your dream of bitcoin being regulated by anything other than the invisible hand of the free market. You're going to need it, you silly pony.

Reece, instead of continuing to be boorish and spouting more tedious, unamusing rhetoric, can you explain why you think regulation would help propel bitcoin into the mainstream? Even better, why not take us back on topic via the high road of explaining how regulation would prevent our favorite sources of drama/rage/titillation/lulz, such as goxed/bitcoinica/pirate from becoming issues? Do you want Instawallet, MtGox, BTC-E, Silk Road, or even TOR, shut down because they are unregulated? I've put out my position, stating that the invisible hand of the free market shall provide all necessary guidance. Why not respond to the crux of the matter, instead of dancing around rambling pompously about all the things you don't believe I understand? You seem unwilling or unable to do that. My guess being the latter. Again, good luck with your centrally planned and carefully regulated fantasy version of bitcoin. You'll need plenty. Such a silly little pony!

WHAR IS BITCOINS? WHAR?
This is what all you suckers sound like. If you send bitcoins to the address in my sig I will guarantee a 3000% return paid in happy thoughts in your general direction. Did you feel that? The first one is free.

Because the mainstream will only feel confident in using bitcoin if it's regulated. Most people are not willing to invest when they have no protection whatsoever in case they get ripped off. Bitcoin a.t.m. is scammers paradise, i hope you realize THAT much.

Bitcoin a.t.m. is scammers paradise, i hope you realize THAT much. SEC is one of the largest regulatory bodies in the world and Madoff ran a scheme for over a decade that makes Pirates stunt look like an idiotic highschool prank. You can't regulate stupid. How would one regulate Bitcoin? Honestly. Not that I am for more regulation (which merely raises the cost of business for legitimate businesses) but how exactly would you do it?

There are no updates. TADA back on topic. Well there is one update since yesterday: The amount owed by Pirate to his creditors has increased by another 5,000 BTC! If Pirates claim of 500K BTC is accurate that would mean he now owes ~540,000 BTC (minus the value of 11 unconfirmed "small accounts"). Also his interest only obligation is now ~$56,700 per day or $39.38 per minute. That means he needs to pay $56,7000 a day every day not to pay off the "investors", but to avoid the amount he owes from increasing. Yes his debt in in BTC but I am using USD because maybe that makes it more "real". So say today he paid back $25,000. The amount he owed would still be increasing. Even if you still believe he had a legit business which could afford $57,600 a day in interest, he shut it down a week ago. He nows owes about a half million USD more than when he shut it down.
