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.

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?

    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."

Oh the horror! 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.

Bill is short.

Don't be like Bill.

Where is that dinosaur graph again..appropriate contextual material at this point.

[bitserve]

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.

[d_eddie]

Closer flirting with 11k.
Bob's shovel must be a large one.
Keep at it!

Shorts slowly losing their confidence.  Short v long in lower panel.

Bill Gates is the same guy who said "64 kB should be enough for anyone". 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.

Globally known name and billionaire. No, fuck it, bad excuses like that are for little people.

[conspirosphere.tk]

I remain agnostic until it moves definitely on the other side of the trendline.



in case it doesn't, my bids are ready.

[Gab0]

The trendline resistance is around 10.9k?

I almost didn't want to respond to this but... well...  No.

First, he never said that. Second, it was not 64k, but 640 Ki. Lastly, have you ever looked at the architecture of an 8088? It weren't no 6800. 1 MiB was the limit before resorting to silly paging techniques like those required on an 8051 or somesuch. Some area needed to be set aside for drivers, HW, and OS. High memory was chosen for that - less than half. Sure, in retrospect we probably would have done it different. But I'm guessing ol' Bill never dreamed that the crude CP/M boot loader and disk reader that he bought would form the foundation for the bulk of computing for decades to come.

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.

Well, yeah. There is that. Though when he finally figured it out, he jumped in with religious fervor.

[RoomBot]

We need parity with the WO number of pages, and we need it NOW

Is the Scronty guy supposedly Craig Wright ?  Because he has an ego the size of a house and it’s full of irrelevant drama masquerading as character development.

It should not be Craig Wright but it appears to be that guy

Or is it now Dave, Craig and Phil...?

It sounds like three members of a really bad rock band.  As I started reading I thought Scronty was Craig, but then....

Has this turned it up to 11?

POCKET PROTECTORS UNTIE!  UNITE!

 Congratulations Mr. Lawblaw!  Enjoy the freedom 

Meanwhile, the train needs more coal.  This might help with the shovelling -

Also Bill was wrong about spam and Apple/IOS.  So Bill needs to do some homework on cryptocurrencies.

 In conclusion
Most of these addresses actually have only one thing in common, which is a big clue to why they're in the list: they at some point held significant amounts of bitcoin in them.

This isn't some grand conspiracy of having stolen a million bitcoins, it's some guy browsing a "blockchain rich list", picking out a couple of addresses at random and saying "I own those" for whatever reasons, while offering no evidence except for some clumsy document backdating. These claims would never have gotten past an actual specialist.

While the lawsuit is a nonsensical fight over unrelated funds that never belonged to either party, it offers the rest of us a valuable reminder of how you'll easily get taken advantage of if you don't follow the #1 rule of Bitcoin:
Don't trust. Verify.
Put simply, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Fortunately, thanks to Bitcoin, that's now as easy as a single cryptographic signature.

Funny how Wright has never provided one?
