Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[hmmmstrange]

The origins of CCMF have finally been revealed.

[Richy_T]

Do you all really think this is him?

Nothing makes me think it isn't. It really isn't of much importance other than for the "human angle" though.

[kkaspar]

So.. when will the breakout happen? Volume is low and there is very little interest to buy, meaning that there will be breakout in the coming hours, just like yesterday.

[FierceRadish]

The vultures are descending. You need to understand how journalists think. I was on my college newspaper, so I have a little experience.

This article http://www.businessinsider.com/dorian-satoshi-letter-and-train-2014-3

is going to be used as a rationalization that Dorian Nakamoto is a public figure, and therefor not subject to the legal protections provided to private citizens.

They are going to hound this man. He needs to lawyer up in a hurry.

I simply cannot believe that the man who wrote this:

"Commerce on the Internet has come to rely almost exclusively on financial institutions serving as trusted third parties to process electronic payments. While the system works well enough for most transactions, it still suffers from the inherent weaknesses of the trust based model."

Also wrote this:

"the parking fee + gasoline costs $10 now to get there from my home and i would go there more often with my mother for shoppings."

Look at the precision which satoshi used when writing his posts.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3;sa=showPosts

Punctuation and grammar is sophisticated and exact.

Then look at the letter on this page
http://www.businessinsider.com/dorian-satoshi-letter-and-train-2014-3#ixzz2vCSq2huK

No way, these are by the same person.

Agreed. And I was previously pretty convinced that they'd got the right guy. Newsweek done made a howler.

The press are grasping at straws again for advertising dollars. Watch out.

+1 Totally agree. There is no way.

The letter in that link really doesn't sound very, erm, satoshiesque...

This is one reason why it was nice SN stayed unknown. We begin to focus on the person instead of his invention.

When we look into people's lives we find humans, character flaws and all. We find out that Thomas Jefferson owned slaves. Henry Ford was an anti-semite. Martin Luther King was apparently a plagiarist and philanderer.

This x1000! The only way I can imagine this to be written by the same Satoshi is if he had just had a severe head injury..

[ShroomsKit_Disgrace]

Your head will explode, your mind will blow, when we discover that the actual Satoshi, the person behind this mask, is the beloved, the popular Mark Karpeles.


WORD.

Ya, I tend to agree. Looking at the two writings side by side it definitely makes it look like two completely different people.

Journalism is a cutthroat business and they only need the slimmest of pretexts to do awful things to people.

Satoshi is all over the mainstream news. 

Choo, choo

Well, yes. But none of them turned out to secretly write like a child in their spare time.

Something doesn't add up. Of course, the letter comes from notorious journalism vomit bath BusinessInsider, so it may have no relation to the story whatsoever.

Yes, I get that. But I'm pretty much saying that they've got the wrong guy. And the fallout, for him, will indeed be pretty awful for a while.

how do you know that was Satoshi who wrote that, I can make a better picture than the one above and sign it with his name, also everything on that story fits perfectly to that man, I am almost convinced that is him...

and by the way, he used his real name, nice move last thing expected....

...
Yeah it went down to $102.  Get it right guys !
...

Actually, on the 21st February on MtGox (death spiral), it went down to 92$. Speaking of getting it right... 

These ups and downs have to be more descriptive in the media to be accurate (I am NOT holding my breath) - b/c it is really misleading to suggest bitcoin went down to $92 in any meaningful way, when it only went down to $92 on one exchange in which many people did NOT have access to such $92 prices b/c money was NOT easily moved in or out.  

And at the same time, overall BTC did get into the lower $400s at some point after the shutting down of GOX, yet when GOX was at $92, overall BTC was in the upper $500's I believe.   And, as far as the $102, that was a flash crash on BTC-e.  If a person had set their buy orders, low, then those people could have benefited from the $102 flash crash; however, the flash crash took place so quickly that it would have been difficult to place a buy order, while the flash crash was happening.  I was on BTC e website at the time, and I saw that prices go from $610-ish to lower $500s, I was NOT looking at my screen when it went lower than that, and I had NO idea until later.
