“We are working in the payments team to figure out how to incorporate bitcoin into our plans" - that was exactly, word for word what Google Senior VP of Ads and Commerce Sridhar Ramaswamy said to me. Since then Forbes, Coindesk, Vice, The Daily Dot, etc etc have all authenticated and verified the emails in various ways. Read what you will into that.
Yeah, Electric Mucus is a fucking moron.

Updated: Google has since issued a statement that it isn’t looking to incorporate Bitcoin — but as far as we can tell, the email conversation isn’t being contested. (which is exactly which the statement does contest, since the email conversion has the subject of incorporating bitcoin. roxtar just quoted it)

This is what PR departments are made to do, under promise at all costs. So maybe if Electric Mucus could compartmentalize - which he obviously can't - then he'd understand the basic communication strategies of a multi-billion dollar corporation and how their compartments work together and separately at times and why. Instead, he is just a fucking idiot.

And of course it would be too early on the part of Google for any statement regarding potentially adopting Bitcoin.

They basically said exactly that they aren't doing the thing in the "email conversation". They can't really get more direct than that. Uh and remember this?

You just exposed yourself as someone who believes the email is fake. Tin foil hat. You just make yourself look sillier and sillier At this point you would have more of an impact on forum reader opinions if you started stating the opposite of what you want people to believe. At this point, people just use you as a negative indicator of anything you write.

All I will say for anyone who reads your posts and thinks for a moment any of them have an ounce of truth in them, to take 15 minutes and read through your history of posts dating back to mid 2011. Then when they are overcome by your historical abilities to be wrong about a wide array of topics they can marvel at the fact that you aren't a retired multi-millioniare today, given the fact that you were mining in the early days and have been here since almost the beginning.

Now you're making up stuff again, just like you're saying I did say something about overstock before they became a bitpay partner, I didn't even know about their existence before they announced their partnership.

If that gives you a feeling of accomplishment that's quite poor.

It's not fake guys. For Gods sakes.. that's a really silly accusation. I even challenged TheNextWeb.com, which took it upon itself to say the emails "were too good to be true".. insinuating they are bullshit. I challenged that if they can get Google to deny Sridhar said those words to me in an email I would give TheNextWeb 10 btc and the "journalist" who wrote that 10 BTC, and use Seans Outpost founder Jason as a trusted escrow party. They haven't responded to my challenge.
The emails are not fake, and Sridhar said what he said. Same with Vic and Ariel Bardin.
What you can take away from Sridhars words are a matter of personal choice, but he said what he said.
Google can say "we have no current plans regarding bitcoin", just like I have no current plans to use the bathroom to relieve myself.. but I'm sure I will inevitably have to at some point during the day.
Forbes, Vice, Business Insider, The Daily Dot, Coindesk etc etc all authenticated the email exchanges and even more I had with Ariel that I did not publicly post.
Take away what you want to take away. Believe or not. Tinfoil hat or reality. Your choice.
Laters!

Blah, blah, blah it's always the same with this kind of stuff. You got busted, and if google hadn't used the same exact terminology to deny it there would be a margin for interpretation. But now there is not.
This is what the rest of the world thinks, and of course there is broad support in this forum for this kind of hoax, but they'd cheer for everything as previously mentioned.

Excuse me.. busted? Busted doing what exactly? I think vindicated is a more appropriate word. Are you suggesting the emails were fake and Sridhar didn't say what I attribute?

Taking credit for something like that in form of a new bitcointalk forum account and posting here, on the speculation forum can also have to do with it, maybe.

Not new, registered almost a year ago. I just lurk. There's some really intelligent discussion on these forums.. but also some serious trollage. Regardless, maybe Forbes and Wired and Vice and all of them are foolish enough to fall for my evil genius hoax(?!).. and you in your infinite wisdom are smarter.
