Don't misunderstand. He soaked his hands in sin for religious reasons. It wasn't political. Why does everybody always assume it was political?

^I'm more of a snakes and ladders man, myself. Incidentally, I heard there was some actual news about rekcahxfb. He seems (lol?) to have sent a thousand coins to a girl (lol). Those coins were from 2013, so probably an old scammer masquerading as a new one.
And so it goes.

BathSaltsDealer is not NotLambChop and can be confirmed as a govt. agent ... thanks for outing yourself scumbag.
People have been trolling here since the price was $230. The people saying bitcoin is useless or claiming that there's doom lurking around every corner for bitcoin are just people that have whatever broken life that leads to dedicated trolling. I bought my first bitcoin fraction at $280 in 2015 and I though it was expensive. Now I know better than to distrust bitcoin's inherent deflationary nature (and how well it retains value compared to the USD due to that attribute). So, with this simple rule of thumb, I avoid being a bagholder. "No buying bitcoin for 16 months after bitcoin increases value above 80 times in the span of one calendar year. No buying for 3 months after the price doubles in the span of two months". Plus, there's the undeniable fact that if started January 1st 2013, setting a time (monthly or yearly) to buy a set amount of bitcoin (an amount you're comfortable losing), it would have resulted in profit. Running the numbers, I get an 900%, 16%, 46% and 10% increase on initial investment if a yearly purchase strategy was deployed (every Jan 1st staring 2013, 2014, 2016 & 2016 respectively). That is, using the current price of $560 to value those bitcoin. Trolls are as obsessed with the ATH as the bulls, and they say that since we're under it, bitcoin must be a failure. But I just checked, and the price was over $900 a total of 13 days (not in a row). So I'm sitting here thinking that if the price remains above $900 for 13 days in a row, we can consider the market completely recovered from MtGox and any other temporary setback its seen. BUT, I am considering buying bitcoin this weekend, so be ready to have bitcoin go to $530 a few minutes after I buy.

BUT, I am considering buying bitcoin this weekend, so be ready to have bitcoin go to $530 a few minutes after I buy. They have been trolling here longer than 2 years, that's for sure. But the bear trolls were coincidentally correct for much of 2014 in their prediction that BTC prices were going down, and to the extent that they were shorting in such direction. Then, yeah, more than half of 2015 became a bit mixed because it became much more difficult to push prices below $220, except for short bursts. $220 kind of became the new floor for that period.. but we cannot really judge floors exactly until after the fact, and events such as Bitfinex are quite traumatic for bitcoin prices - and there could even be worse exchange failures than that, as we have seen and could again see, possibly. Yes, interesting for you to point out that little fact about BTC prices being above $900 for only 13 days in total... hahahahaha.. that is interesting, and surely, it seems that we are going to return to prices above $900 at some point, but a question remains whether that point is coming in the next 12 to 24 months or will it take longer to get above such prices? Gosh, I don't know, but I do believe that the chances are pretty decent that we are continuing to experiences upwards price pressures, and there may be some folks that are still worried about what is going on with Bitfinex, exactly.

Regarding the article that I just posted above (and repeated below), let me elaborate a little bit. There may be some ongoing concerns in the bitcoin market about the fate of Bitfinex. It appears that they have not even resumed margin trading, yet. Or maybe I just cannot see margin trading because of being a US customer? Also, I had thought that Bitfinex should implement some kind of fee free incentives, such as zero fee trading for a period of time, but what do I know? http://www.coindesk.com/bitfinex-bitcoin-recovers-volume-perception-battle-rages/Market is still trying to figure out the value of the BFX coins, too? And, surely Bitfinex will have to inspire some confidence in order to keep up the value of those BFX coins... and I think that they got a lot of their value and their extra revenue from margin trading, but who knows what got them into trouble, exactly (besides the official story involving bitgo).. As an aside, Bitgo seems to have brought some attention to themselves too when the started to delete some of their insurance pages... I mean, many of us were blaming Bitfinex, but then Bitgo got some potential guilt too, when they start to white wash pages from their public information. Edit: Since I feel like I am on a roll, let me add another link here, too, related to discussion of the effect of the Bitfinex situation on the current bitcoin market. Below is a new reddit thread that is asserting evidence of an inside job and asserting shenanigans by Bitfinex. http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4y9bcu/bitfinex_embezzlement_101_cook_the_books_make/I don't have any kind of problem with feeling skepticism of Bitfinex's official story, yet I do NOT find the claim that they admit that two of their managers are amongst the top BFX coin holders as convincing that there is any inside job going on. Maybe managers should not be trading because of potential conflicts of interest in their using their knowledge to trade, but that is not the exact claim at the moment. I do find that Bitfinex admitting that a couple of their managers are amongst high level BFX coin holders merely means that Bitfinex managers were involved in BTC trading on their platform and they had lost some money due to the hack.. and I suppose Bitfinex wants to use that kind of information to mean that Bitfinex did not engage in an inside job because some of their managers lost some of their money, too. Fair enough, no?

What about dark pools?
Dark pools is scam. There is no reason to buy BTC and don't want price to go up after your purchase, unless you're a BTC enemy. Unless you want to purchase more next week and hope to get the most for your money. Flawed logic, for you'll not buy now but wait next week and get the most for your money. If you know what the price will be next week... ...never mind.

They have the exact same thing as STEEM coming out that uses Bitcoin.
And you don't have to wait 2 years to get paid (when STEEM no longer exists).
Satoshi said that putting every data set into the blockchain doesn't scale. Why would anyone use bitcoin to store the data of a social network? It hurts scaling, cost, decentralization etc. http://www.yours.network and Lightning will demonstrate micropayments that don't overload the blockchain. Yes, but where is the data stored? On the cloud? I haven't looked at the specs yet. It still needs LN for it to work so there is some time before the release.

All I know about it is from this post by rekcahxfb_authentic. A thousand Bitcoins were sent to this address, but it's already full of messages begging for free coins. The thousand Bitcoins haven't been moved out of it, so the recipient might be hodling for now. https://blockchain.info/address/1NYT1f6Mbty6iZiHPQtM5fDSmSKk6e2HKN

A very early good morning Bitcoinland.
Still no appreciable change... $579 on BitcoinAverage. Waiting, waiting... ______

Thanx for the crooked SR agent story link. Fascinating reading.
There's no limit to human greed and sleaziness. Giving someone a badge seems to increase it.

Remember people, Mt.Gox was manipulated and this is why price skyrocketed. They BTC that was bought was bought with NO FIAT, so it was all artificial.
If you remove this bubble from graph, you can see clearly where BTC is heading. It's clear uptrend. Price wants to go up and it will go up.

Nah, it's more like rocket which then falls down but then there is better rocket which goes up even more =) (what I want to say, there will be no rocket, it will be slow uptrend, unless another great manipulation happens)
