bitcoin.co.th trading suspended

[greyhawk]

The website is not owned by me, it is owned by Bitcoin Co. Ltd., of which I hold no ownership.  There are no untrue statements on the website.

Laffo,

let's put an end to this charade.

You are David Barnes of Boca Raton, Florida

A whois of Bitcoin.co.th lists one "Tachpicha ketmayoon Barnes",
an obvious pseudonym you have repeatedly used (and tried but failed
to hide behind whoisguard) on your various other failed websites such
as the fake soccer shirts store and the cheap plastic jewelry store,
all connected through their design by advancedstyle.com too.

bitcoin.in.th (a redirect to bitcoin.co.th) has an rname property of
"rname: dave.advancedstyle.com"

Explain again how you have no control over the site?

Tachpicha is a ladies name in Thailand the fact it has Barnes at the end of it's likely to be his wife rather than a pseudonym!

So he bought a wife and is using her name for legal purposes. Still a pseudonym.

I still think that there is a serious possibility that the official saying this really meant: "Buying and selling bitcoins without a money changer license is illegal and since you don't have one, you better stop doing it"

"Wishful thinking" is the term for your thoughts.

I still don't understand why is all that drama that one central bank said Bitcoin is illegal?

Is there some particular reason I am not allowed to think that and I am not allowed to write about it?

It is absolutely fine to write that. But be careful, don't write "Bitcoin is illegal in this country". Because that is what they did'n say.

Anti-bitcoin powers would use any chance to damage image of the system. I'm pretty sure that they gave the go-ahead even to respected media to wind unverified information. Easy for them because the scapegoat is there, ready and hard-nosily keeps his original posting.

The fact that one central bank announced that Bitcoin is illegal doesn't damage image of the system in any way. Quite on the contrary. This fact just confirms that Bitcoin is exactly the instrument that it was meant to be when created 5 years ago. It can successfully compete with central bank fiat money.

Becuase the central bank never said Bitcoin is illegal. Even if they did, it is their opinion, not the law.

The Thais I know do not care about Bitcoin. If Bitcoin in Thailand should be a topic some day, then the Thais will not accept a ban. But as long as Thai People do not care about Bitcoin, I would be careful as ฝรั่ง. No one will help you. Most buddhists do not care about money. Whether it is physical or virtual. Most ฝรั่ง only know the tourist centers. But normal Thais are very different. They will not even wash your underwear. Money means little to them. Bitcoin hardly leads to enlightenment from the perspective of a Thai.

This thread has clearly run it's course and now regressing to discussion of Buddhism, washing machines and my personal life.

I will reopen the thread if any new announcements are posted.  As previously mentioned if you need more information on the topic PM me.
