Information behind BTC Global?

[bobdude17]

These are the most professional looking Bitcoin sites I have seen yet, but I have heard no one talking of this company.

Anyone have some info? Funding?

[bobdude17]

And apparently they have a trading exchange that can handle 300k transaction per second?

Seems to be a lot of new exchanges preparing to pop up. I'm excited to see what comes of it.

[LeChatNoir]

Seems they will accept deposits in FIAT currencies also, very very good!

[Akka]

That's also by BTC Global:

Yes, seems promising.

The more I see of this "company" the more I smell a scam of some sort. It is linked to http://btcxperts.com/ and some guy called Steven Morell, when I go that page it flashes up an expert in my town which it didn't before so is obviously some sort of IP lookup. I need to do some research but would advise against sending any money or private info before doing extensive research.

[greyhawk]

Yeah, real trustworthy.

The US adress doesn't exist.

The German adress sounds nice what with all the promenade and stuff, but it's actually a horrible ghetto part of Berlin.

And the Uruguayan adr..... hahahaha, it's Uruguay. But no, for reals, the place look like Galactus chewed up a lot of apartment buildings, then got the hiccups and spat them all out in a jumble of concrete and bricks.

Vladimir know something about it? So it is not a scam?

Epicness incoming i guess 

[Piper67]

I thought it was an exchange that would focus on South America. If you're going to set up that kind of an exchange, Uruguay is definitely the place to do it.

there will be more information soon...

After browsing Vladimir's résumé he does seem to have a penchant for picking dubious/unlucky (depending who's word you take) business partners, so therefore I shall hold onto my misgivings about BTC Global until proven otherwise.

[repentance]

Any association with Bitcoin Global, which was the "entity" behind GLBSE.

Reasonable comment indeed.

In my defense it really was only one episode and a few messed up projects with the same "team". Indeed with the benefit of hindsight I was hugely naive allowing myself to be drawn into that clusterfuck. Can only blame myself for that and I was punished hugely for that by lost income, cost of stolen assets, and cost of lost opportunity incurred by me in that episode. This only makes me much more careful now. I learned my lessons. No more babysitting engagements for me...

If you are being more careful and doing "No more babysitting engagements" perhaps you would care to explain your continued affilliations/ shared directorships with Matthew N Wright and Mihai Alisie who you have publicly distanced yourself from & Zhou Tong who you never appear to have publicly acknowledged as a business partner?

Nice choice of name, would stay away if only because the nightmares the name is still giving me from being ripped off by MF Global. MF Global taking all my fiat, BTC Global taking all my Bitcoins, dont think so...

[Chakraball]

Some of your information is out of date.
There is no continued affiliation with Mr Matthew Wright, Mr Zhou Tong, Mihai Valeriu Alisie.

Perhaps you should examine what being a director or a shareholder of a limited company means. Or more specifically what it could mean. For example, it appears you are not making a distinction between being a Director of a Limited company and being a biz partner. This does not in fact mean a continuing affiliation or not necessarily does mean it. If you look hard enough, you could find some entities that are directors or shareholders of hundreds, even thousands of Limited Companies. I am not sure what conclusions you will make about them based on this.

I use a pay-to-view search engine but here are links to free one with links to companieshouse.gov.uk.

I will leave it to other forum users to decide for themselves about your involvement with the aforementioned people.

Personally I will stay well clear of BTC Global

Is this what you were talking about?


Their site just went live, looks fuckin great.

[bobdude17]

Only the paranoid survive. If only you could bury your bitcoins underground to stay safe from hackers, keyloggers, and rotten luck.

Opening your BTCoinSafe account:

Creates a laser-engraved crystal wallet.
Secures the crystal wallet in an indestructible medium.
Deposits your wallet in the deepest reaches of a retrofitted high-security prison.

That's pretty cool...

Interesting that Bartlett is in that postcode so I guess it's Steve Morell/Sven Tilburg or is it Russell doing a bit of moonlighting from the office?

Oh, did they delete the street adress by now? Yeah, I can imagine everyone looking up your hut in the desert would be kinda creepy.

Maybe that's what the so called high security safe is. The shack in the desert.
