Article in Digital Gold Currency Magazine - December 2011 Edition (page 30) Also perhaps of interest to some bitcoiners - A small article 'Open Transactions "Smart Contracts"' page 23 followed by an article from Fellow Traveller 'How authorities can control things by failure to enforce things' which mentions bitcoin and silk road.

I'm sad that the audience didn't point out the absurdity of some of their ideas and claims. their ideas are total bullshit! sorry for posting here but the video really gets me mad.

New York University Stern School of Business NYU Stern Economics Keeping Currency Valuable 2011-12-29 http://nyusterneconomics.wordpress.com/2011/12/29/keeping-currency-valuable/#more-220... We’ve seen cases of this happening during hyperinflations, but counterfeiting has the same effect. An interesting place to see this, and many other monetary phenomena, play out is in the bitcoin market. ... People fled the bitcoin — as they would any unstable currency — and prices never recovered.

mcafee threat predictions 2012 (PDF) www.mcafee.com/us/resources/reports/rp-threat-predictions-2012.pdf(Quoted The whole thing) Virtual Currency Virtual currency, sometimes called cybercurrency, has become a popular way for people to exchange money online. Though not necessarily backed by tangible assets or even tangible commodities, services such as Bitcoin allow users to make transactions through a decentralized, peer-to-peer network— essentially electronic cash that allows direct, online payments. A user needs only client software and an online wallet service to receive the “coins,” which are stored in the wallet and can be transferred to others as payment for goods or services. For users to send or receive these coins, they simply need a wallet address. Can you see both the problem and the opportunity? Trojan malware easily fits into this architecture. The wallets are not encrypted and the transactions are public. This makes an attractive target for cybercriminals. Several events of note took place in 2011 regarding virtual currencies: • The Mt. Gox Bitcoin Exchange database was targeted by attackers who stole thousands of Bitcoins • Spam promoting fake Bitcoin mining tools was distributed. These tools actually contained malware designed to send the victims’ wallet files to a remote location. It also allowed other miners to use the infected computer for further Bitcoin mining. • Bitcoin miner botnets were found in the wild. Using large numbers of infected machines, these botnets could speed up Bitcoin mining and processing and could also launch DDoS attacks. Source, Thanks to : No Agenda podcast 2:31:22 (-11:51) For ~10 second Dvorak is clueless about the state of Bitcoin and think "the money is gone" What happened to all the money ! http://nashownotes.com/2011/12/na36920111229

28th Chaos Communication Congress so now we have ppl giving lectures to other not to mess with bitcoin because they could have legal problems. This guy appears to be on payroll of a multinational consulting firm or something, dunno, perfect image of a troll that has a task to formulate the "right" questions. This is only my opinion.

'Tyler Durden' at zerohedge apparently didn't get the news that Bitcoin is alive and kicking. He's not a fan anyway. Edit: It's clear Tyler Durden is just an alias - but apparently it's a pseudonym for several writers (thanks to Isosceles for pointing out that in this case it's Brandon Smith at alt-market: http://www.alt-market.com/articles/438-the-economic-solutions-of-vampires . Don't know how I missed that.) The zerohedge site appears to be quite influential: alexa rank 1,820 rank in US 830. Guest Post: The Economic Solutions Of Vampires 'Tyler Durden' 2011-12-23 http://www.zerohedge.com/news/guest-post-economic-solutions-vampiresThe suggestion that we can solve our current financial despair with the formation of a whole new currency, or a global currency, is like suggesting to a slave that he would be much more free with a shinier set of chains. Any solution that purports to undo the crisis by doing more of the same was probably devised by an economic vampire. This includes digital currencies like the failed “Bitcoin”, which swagger about in the classy looking threads of technology and diversity while flashing us impromptu peace signs. Digital currencies are a Star Trek theme park distraction, and just like any paper fiat currency, they make promises they cannot keep. Any trade system that depends upon good faith in ones and zeros traveling across a network of machines that can be hacked or rendered useless by collapse is doomed. We have already tasted the danger of digital through the debauchery of credit cards. Why tempt fate even further?

If you read the header, that ZeroHedge post was a guest post from Brandon Smith at alt-market.com.

That talk was maybe the worst of the entire conference and he had no idea what he was talking about. ... which is why I'm against the whole 'free' movement of making everything free, because we need to employ those people aren't entrepeneurs and innovators to create some kind of sustainability. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=8oeMsfm5D5s#t=533sThe issue is not price, but freedom. I elaborate more on this here. His talk had nothing to do with bitcoin and was totally valueless.

He did manage to throw in the word bitcoin a few times , probably cause it said somewhere on his computer "say bitcoin at least 3 times" ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) But it was somewhat interesting in parts.He mentioned money as debt and if you really want to learn about that look for "Money as debt" series on Youtube. This Lecture and to some extent David Birchs lecture are not exactly about bitcoin but about Economy,Business,Psycology of the consumers etc... all which have an effect on the future of bitcoin.

"We are just fools. We insanely believe that we can replace one politician with another and something will really change. The ONLY possible way to achieve change is to change the very system of how government functions. Until we are prepared to do that, suck it up for your future belongs to the madness and corruption of politicians." Martin Armstrong

Changing dynamics of financial crime in the digital era 2012-01-02 Jeroen de Bel http://www.innopay.com/content/changing-dynamics-financial-crime-digital-era"In America concerns have been raised in the last year over Bitcoin, a decentralized, peer-to-peer network that can be used for making anonymous payments. US Senator Schumer called Bitcoin ‘a system for online money laundering and drug financing’."
