just saw this on twitter I hope they obtained the appropriate rights to use that image. It's one of Casascius's I think? Sad thing is this is from the free to use Pictures of the http://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-for-press page. So (even if very very little) we helped them in preparing this event.

ok that was fast. just wait for the shitstorm. phase one: negative media coverage That's so weird. "Bitcoin" isn't mentioned anywhere in the entire body. It's either obviously talking about bitcoin and almost purposely trying not to mention it, or it's not talking about bitcoin and there is a PedoCoin from 4chan we're not aware of yet.

Innuendo is more difficult to refute than direct accusations.

I'm a little wary of them connecting this to exploited children. That is a classic pretext these days, second only to fear mongering about terrorism.

Well, it's expected. Look at the speakers. They are not policemen. They are not politicians. They are the guys working for those who pull the strings, the core enemies of Bitcoin: the FED and its proxies. Let them try to link Bitcoin with pedophiles. Like USD is not the official currency in the black market. In any case, we are ready and waiting. Bitcoin is fearless.

Over all I'm positively surprised: What are the threats and opportunities associated with this new payment Didn't expect to even see this word on their agenda. there is some pro bitcoin lobbying going on already. when they took down LR they had a press conference and towards the end of that press conference they said they are not aiming at btc and they see the opportunities. some of those guys hopefully hold some coins...

Unfortunately also classless and full of get rich quick schemers. We really need a mass adoption quick to level the playing field. It's harder to call bitcoin a "scam that only pot head nerds use" when political figures, movie stars and major businesses are using it too.

perhaps i'm a bit too naive here but watching silicon valley already being involved into the game i'd suggest that they're going some way between to pretend everything's under control while at the same time not harming these business opportunities too much. that could at least be an explanation that btc isn't mentioned directly in every article. edit: or am i wrong about silicon valley being that important?

Things are happening behind closed doors.
as usual... Yep and behind those closed doors real opinions don't matter The issue is complex. The global payments market continues to evolve. Technology is changing the very nature of money and has prompted the creation of a new Internet-based financial system. Alternative payment methods and digital currencies are being widely used today. Most of those who use this new financial system are not criminals. However, this new system is unregulated and has become a preferred venue for the sale of illicit drugs, weapons, and for those who are involved in commercial child sexual exploitation. This virtual economy includes anonymous payment systems, digital currencies, and bulletproof hosting service providers which enable users with the ability to upload, store, and distribute content with little risk. (Just focusing on the negatives equates to fear mongering) It can promote terrorism (So can HBC lol) It can trade porn and drugs (So can money) Think of the children (Think of all the third world problems it could solve) Think of the dark net (Silk road is less than 0.1% of trade now I believe) We must monitor it (Sure just like the CIA watches whatever we do without permission) Fear begets Fear unfortunately a bad PR campaign can stall something that should be obvious Bitcoin has a lot more good than bad But throwing the children card that's just low On another note This could be a battle between generations as well (Old System vs New Systems)

That's it for me. I'm done. I just flushed all my dollar bills down the toilet because I found out that murder for hire, prostitution and drugs are purchased with dollars more than any other currency. I won't be a part of the dollar system any more! This insight doesn't matter. The media will make the connection "bitcoin" <-> "cp" just as they made the connection "anarchy" <-> "chaos" for example in peoples heads. Doesn't work by using rational thinking.

what's a Bit-Coin?
It's the Dr. Evil version of Bitcoin, just like the ''La-Ser''.

just saw this on twitter .... - Ernie Allen, International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children
... Hmm. What is he doing in a World Bank forum?, and look at what this site thinks of him... http://bringvarvarahome.org/ernie_allen.php+1 is it because of the story with pedo-links in the blockchain? i would understand if DEA or something similar sent a guy because of SR. but i don't get that connection. it really just screams smear campaign to me. (this guy simply doesn't fit into that list with all the other financial people) or he's just arranging the aftershowparty Did we ever learn details of the "pedo-links in the blockchain" story? Did some kid plant them for lulz?... or was it these guys setting up their "catch"? The story always seemed odd to me - I couldn't see why any "real" pedo-types would bother fiddling with the blockchain. I still can't.

hmm. Would it be possible to defend Bitcoin by actually inventing PedoCoin and somehow diverting all the smear? "no no, that's 'PedoCoin', not 'Bitcoin'. Those journalists got that wrong".

Ok, I'll give you what you want to hear, because I think it's at least partly true: The main area where cryptographic transactions shine (because there is no other solution anywhere near as useful) is online black markets for illegal goods and services. However please consider: when talking sr, bitcoin is only used for "transmission" and users complain about volatility (they'd rather just have fiat balance on sr). But bitcoin is also a money and a damn good one, too. That's the other true part: Bitcoin is being used as a store of wealth. tldr: it's SPENT on drugs, it's STORED for preservation of wealth. Which of these two makes use of more coins?
