Interesting theory, but it doesn't jive with all the facts. The rallies correlate very well with Google search activity. If one man or bot was driving these rallies then you would not see the search activity behave in Google the way it has during the rallies. Also without the support of the bot, the market would have severely crashed and stayed down after Mt Gox closed.
Good points. Why should the bot / THK not simply belong to the part of Gox that binds the exchange to their merchant tools? This would be a simple explanation. I can't believe Karpeles would leave everybody in the dark for so long, effectively taking any option of finding the hacker via the blockchain from the customers. |

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

The Reddit version of this thread is cited in the Willy Report ( http://willyreport.wordpress.com) so I thought I'd bump it. Looks like we have more evidence that Willy was real. |

IMO, Mark is a patsy and when he dies of a "heart attack" we will never really know which spooky agency got away with a huge number of BTC. |

I actually think there is also a possibly that those stolen coins were sold and the fiat profit were used to bid up the price and that the process was rinse and repeat until the energy was all used up.
In essence we have all benefited from that loss, and now we are paying the price.

That might be Mark's little secret. |

I just read the theory on the collapse. Seems an interesting one. Just has me wondering, why something like this came out after almost 2 years after the hack .
And looking at the blockchain, wouldn't it be possible to trace the coins ?

Intresting read, but doesn't really tell us much more... It would help if they could find that data gap. At least know we are starting to get the full picture: a mix of lack of security, fear, and not really knowing what to do with so many Bitcoins on one's control. |

indeed, but topical as well with the recent release of chat logs between Mark and (former Ripple) Jed McCaleb in court discovery https://courts.ms.gov/newsite2/appellatecourts/docket/sendPDF.php?f=dc00001_live.SCT.17.M.1681.102741.5.pdf&c=87490&a=N&s=2 |
This is not some pseudoeconomic post-modern Libertarian cult, it's an un-led, crowd-sourced mega startup organized around mutual self-interest where problems, whether of the theoretical or purely practical variety, are treated as temporary and, ultimately, solvable.
Censorship of e-gold was easy. Censorship of Bitcoin will be… entertaining.
