And suddenly we have many newbies here who shiting on bitcoin, over and over again. What we can do with them?

Make sure you back up your wallet regularly! Unlike a bank account, nobody can help you if you lose access to your BTC.

just skimmed through the thread and couldn't find any proof (or an explanation of what it is.). the article are also lacking citations/sources for the important parts. so, bottom line, the media are just being stupid again, am I right?
Pretty much. Nothing was shown/proved in the BBC article. I'm sure a laymen could easily be fooled but what is more concerning is Gavin Andresen seemingly buying this bullshit. Very alarming. I have since learnt that Gavin was paid for his participation. His site did not get hacked - but he received a little something for playing along. Gavin knows how to check whether a message was properly signed. He did not get fooled. He did not get hacked. He got paid. |

this is all drama.. best advice. use this dramatical and temporal price drop period to grab some coins.. because people wise up and the price rises back up |

It's possible he was hacked but how long do you think before someone asked Gavin? If it was a hack, the hacker would need to have colluded with Craig thereby incriminating him (Craig) when Gavin is asked "Were you hacked?". Not exactly a foolproof plan. |
If this post was useful, interesting or entertaining, then you've misunderstood.

Pure speculation, nothing more  There is no hard evidence that it is satoshi himself. BBC is becoming just as bad as TMZ on their ground breaking news hype machine ala hulk hogan's sex tape to get an ill fated washed has been 100 million more than what he should of  Proof from a source that all of this is just HYPE: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1457687.msg14730880#msg14730880 |

For 10 seconds I thought this was real and that we (us bitcoiners) would be very busy today and the following time... but after just looking a little into this article, I still don’t see the proof?? And isn’t it the second time this man is in the media claiming that he is Satoshi Nakamoto?? Jesus, this man just want to be famous or sell something, how stupid are people and how stupid are journalists??

Same here... when I got the news, I thought: "Uuups, that'll be a busy day." Then I read the name of Craig Wright, and relaxed. Just another bigblocker who gets credibility from his bigblock-friend Gavin. |

Gavin knows how to check whether a message was properly signed. He did not get fooled. He did not get hacked. He got paid. I hope not. after all he did he was still one of the biggest bitcoin contributor and some people still respect him because of that. if what you're saying is true then people will lost all their remaining respect to gavin and will most likely turn on him. |

I find it strange that Craig Wright opted to show his proof to ordinary journalists from the BBC, the Economist and GQ. Maybe he wanted to fool them into believing he is the real deal while giving them fake leads. It would have been better if there was a conference of Bitcoin developers where Craig publicly showed that his claims were real and he could successfully sign a message.

The BBC and other news outlets say yes but no evidence of it has been provided. |
