600M invested by Bitcoin VCs isn't big money to you. It's probably more money than you have anyway. Postmodern skepticism is boring.

600 M invested by general VCs in Bitcoin? Or do you mean 600M invested by Bitcoin VCs - as in meaning VCs/funds operating on and investing with Bitcoin? Prob. fist doh.


But 600 M investment by general VCs is not really that much/significant, for an hype technology like Bitcoin is today.

100 pages of posts deleted, very strange.

guess some big poster got nuked.

(or u know and are in irony mod?)

It is funny because they are treating the page number like the price of Bitcoin. /Ralph

In that case I need a moderator on Bitfinex to delete those meaningless bid spam entries after I opened a very insightful short pos.t.ition.

Edit: Oh, I see. Somebody took care of that little cosmetical problem just now. Well, thank you, I guess.

My theory is that there's a warped character out there whose heart is set on either $1000 or $10,000 on the 10,000th page. If that is the case then we could be floating around for rather a long time.

had to have a lot of posts, prior.... how many posts per page? or is it variable to size of posts? could just divide your post count in the thread vs post per page limit

"Photo messaging site Snapchat has launched a new feature allowing people to send friends money from within its app.

The firm, which was the subject of a recent hack attack in which over 100,000 photos were leaked from the service when a third party client was compromised, has partnered with square for the service.

Once users have registered their debit card, they simply enter a $ sign and the amount into the messaging field - and the payment is sent."

20 posts per page, and length of post does NOT matter -  so you can only dump posts for so long before you run out... and only so many goofballs are willing to delete their posts for this silly cause... so after a while, the silly post dumpers will have no more posts to dump... Unless some innovative entrepreneur comes up with some fractional reserve method with the treatment of posts.

nearly 2000 posts cant be deleted manually (post by post), very, very unlikely
besides maybe some small manuall post dumpers, the real reason for this big loss of posts must be nuked (multiple) accounts of big time posting regs
(or small chance some people aka "post dumpers" found a way of automatization the deleting of own posts via an bot/script/macro or exploit/undocumented forum feature)


and btw, in case any one forgot, post dumping is serious businezzzzz

This thread is so full of junk that people have stopped reading recent posts:

Oh my dog, hundreds of very meaningful posts here have suddenly disappeared.

I assure you, that is not the case. They were all "The Bitcointalk Image Proxy Cannot Display This Image" or whatever guff it says.

Doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to figure that "The Bitcointalk Image Proxy Cannot Display This Image" posts have been blitzed  .

ah thank you solex, kinda still suxx, because the image proxying is and was always buggy, so maybe great meaningful picture posts are gone maybe eeh

Oh dear, a new centralized payment processing system! After it launches I give it 30 days MAX before it's hacked.

The image proxying has suffered since Theymos improved the security when bct was hacked.

Wedbush Securities Inc., the Los Angeles-based financial-services firm founded in 1955 by friends fresh out of college, took a stake in bitcoin venture Buttercoin and is using the platform to buy and sell the virtual currency.

The deal makes Wedbush, with offices from Manhattan to Honolulu, the first Wall Street firm to announce a stake in a bitcoin startup, Buttercoin Chief Executive Officer Cedric Dahl said. Buttercoin, with backers including Google Ventures and Y Combinator, helps businesses shift between cash and bitcoins to use the virtual currency or provide related services to clients.

“Wedbush will be bringing in their friends from Wall Street,” Dahl said in an interview. The Palo Alto, California-based startup plans to talk with potential investors in January about raising more than $25 million, he said, declining to specify the size of Wedbush’s holding.

so in one day Bitcoin has attracted the investement of mostly anyone that matters in the tech world to a 20 million seed round (blockstream)

and

we learn that Wedbush Security are buying Bitcoins and investing in Google-venture backed Bitcoin company (Buttercoin)
