Not worth reading. It's a paragraph of FUD followed by a page of fluff.

If its true, then it poses a big problem, this is something that should not be able to happen with bitcoin.

So much FUD...

Gold 3.0

What happened to Gold 2.0?  Skipping versions, I guess...

And if they find one, they lock on to you, because statistically, if you were in Liberty Reserve or using a lot of anonymous money, you were probably doing something wrong.

Well, according to a (voluntary) survey of Bitcoin users, statistically you are more likely to have given to a charity with bitcoin than to have bought narcotics.  If "doing something wrong" now includes giving to charities, the world is screwed...  Undecided

I'm going to assume that is sarcasm there...

Important quote to note:

Quote
Calls to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Silicon Valley Regional Computer Forensics Laboratory (SVRCFL) seeking confirmation of the Bitcoin wallet searches went unreturned by press time.

= FUD
Our family was terrorized by Homeland Security.  Read all about it here:  http://www.jmwagner.com/ and http://www.burtw.com/  Any donations to help us recover from the $300,000 in legal fees and forced donations to the Federal Asset Forfeiture slush fund are greatly appreciated!

Lol, he actually said the NEXT Gold 3.0 -  so I guess he means Gold 4.0.

I wonder what happened to the current Gold 3.0.
