I find it interesting that the story about craig wright being satoshi has resurfaced again. Not only in this thread, but I saw a few more topics on the forum today. I am not a veteran in the crypto space like most of you are, so I do not know if this has happened many times before. But I have noticed that certain news stories(if you can call them news) get recycled every once in a while. Which has an impact on newer people in crypto. Perhaps creating uncertainty or doubt?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumping_the_shark http://uk.businessinsider.com/bill-gates-on-cryptocurrency-2018-2?r=US&IR=T Billionaire philanthropist and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said no technology has "caused deaths in a fairly direct way" to the extent that cryptocurrencies have. He said that the ease with which people can anonymously buy drugs is a major problem, and suggested that cryptocurrencies are used to launder money and fund terrorist organizations. Gates also added that "the speculative wave" around initial coin offerings and cryptocurrencies is "super risky."

 P.S.: BitFINES. The bitfinex owners don't need to sell it to pass the buck, they can just say it got hacked again and pass its debts onto its customers again.

Law enforcement will actually have to do its job again rather than just choking off the money supply and/or convicting violent criminals of money laundering instead of their actual crimes.

Officially retired.
Fuck yeah.
If I didn't have to drive my cat to the vet in an hour for antibiotic shots, I'd be slamming back beers.
feelsfuckingamazingman.
Ok, meow, let's see what we can do about getting this fucking train above $11k, k ? I'll start shoveling the coal...
Official congrats then!  And the best wishes and prompt recovery for your cat. I think my "little tiger" is the only thing for which I would allow myself to part with some BTC if I needed to. Oh, and for retiring some day in the future. No hurry.

Congrats man..serious. I have been "retired" for a few years now. Love every minute..those who are bored with it lack imagination. The train is building stream..think a PM departure is planned but you never know with the badger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vJg-SxDb70

Now he denies the quote is legit, but he sure acted like it, failing to endow DOS and the first Windows versions with proper memory addressing. Bill Gates is also the same guy who thought the Internet, anarchic network of networks as it used to be, would be a passing fad and everyone would just use the Microsoft Network.

Everyone is getting bent out of shape. It was probably just an off the cuff comment without any real thought.

I remain agnostic until it moves definitely on the other side of the trendline.  in case it doesn't, my bids are ready.
