Maybe we should try to get Andreas Antonopoulos on the Glenn Beck show. These guys need to be better informed on Bitcoin.

And, Travis Skweres of CoinMKT having the same office address as Edison Muckers, thus perpetuating the theme.

When the time is right he will turn on us and tell everyone Bitcoin is used to pay people to murder innocent Christians on the way to church, or that Ron Paul supporters are using Bitcoin to fund terror.

Years ago Glenn Beck was interesting to me, since he talked about some "real" ideas related to freedom that usually do not get mentioned on TV. Over time, he both showed his snake-like, deceptive nature & he sometimes acts downright insane. At best, he is just a clown (a rodeo clown, actually)

This Edison thingie sure is weird, considering:

Quote
Our name is inspired by Thomas Edison’s vision of creating a place where brilliant entrepreneurs and hackers can work together to create new and better products that either disrupted existing industries or created entirely new markets. Mucker Capital is named after the original hackers, the men who worked with Edison in his labs –- Thomas Edison’s “muckers.”

The name for Edison’s muckers is said to have come from Edison’s experiments to invent a better formulation for bricks.  Edison and his team spent more than a year testing different materials and binding agents, or “muck” as it was called at the time, before finally getting it right.  That’s when some first began referring to his researchers as “muckers,” and the name stuck.

Historians have often called the R&D laboratory Edison’s greatest invention. Before Edison came along, inventors typically worked alone and relied more on inspiration than a repeatable process.  Edison changed all that by effectively creating the modern innovation and commercialization laboratory by marrying a proprietary innovation process with a team of brilliant and ambitious young men from all over United States and Europe to work with him. Many muckers eventually moved on to become successful inventors and entrepreneurs themselves after spending time with Edison.

BloomNation: Bitcoin Opens New Market, Transactions Larger

Los Angeles-based flower delivery site BloomNation--which helps connect consumers with local floral designers--has only been offering up payment via Bitcoin for a few months, but it's already finding that Bitcoin sales are 50 percent larger than traditional credit card sales--plus it allows the company to tap into a niche market it normally wouldn't have been able to tap into. The startup, lets consumers order flowers from local florists and designers, instead of generic mass marketers, and is one of the companies out of MuckerLab. BloomNation other backers include Andreessen Horowitz, Spark Capital, Chicago Ventures, and CrunchFund. Despite some ups and downs in the Bitcoin market, there have been a number of Southern California companies looking to tap into the interest in the all-electronic currency, including GoCoin, which is enabling BitCoin payments for e-commerce retailers; Virgin Galactic, which is letting customers buy a ride into space using Bitcoin; and CheapAir.com, which is letting users buy airline tickets using Bitcoin.

BloomNation was first mentioned by a Californian one-post-wonder (OPW).

BloomNation is now the first community marketplace where anyone in the world can send flowers to anyone in the US using Bitcoins! www.bloomnation.com BTCBTCBTC Smiley Smiley

Glenn Beck thinks Thomas Edison was a 'bad man'

Conservative pundit's forthcoming film aims to expose celebrated inventor's dark side


Quote
Conservative pundit Glenn Beck is making a movie that he hopes will expose the truth about celebrated American inventor Thomas Edison. In a wide-ranging interview with the National Review, Beck said that although Edison is widely seen as "this nice, kind of, good old Thomas," his film will expose him for the person he really was: "a bad man who was electrocuting animals."

The Edison film is one of three movies that Beck is working on — another will tell "the real story of Christmas" — though it's not clear whether it will be a documentary or drama, and he did not name a release date in his interview with the National Review. What's clear, though, is that Beck thinks Edison has been unfairly represented in history, and he wants to set the record straight.

"HE WAS A BAD MAN."

According to the former Fox News host, Edison "was absolutely on the wrong end, and luckily for him the story ended happily with his name being taken off his own company and given to GE. And all the people he tried to destroy and screw — he was screwed."

"I think that’s the story that needs to be told about Thomas Edison," he continued. "He was a bad man."

As Gizmodo points out, Beck has waxed poetic about inventors in the past, showing particular affection toward Nikola Tesla, who had a heated rivalry with Edison. In a December episode of his radio show The Blaze, Beck said the world would've been closer to a more advanced, Jetsons-like future had Tesla's inventions been embraced more openly.

"My iPad would never go dry," he said. "I’d never have to plug it in because he would just be sending electricity concentrated through the air."

The immediate above is in contrast to what Glenn states here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDUUTv0Sd0w#t=115

I penned the above to clearly show that there's three known entities to date that have aligned themselves with Edison AND Bitcoin: Gleen Beck; CoinMKT; Edison Muckers/Mucker Capital. I, for one, believe that this was achieved by design.

But wait, there's more!

Look what I found:

so:

>zhou tong was retweeted by
>george henderson who invested in the same company as
>jared leto who likes pirates and who's picture is the avatar of
>charles lauzon who knows about bitcoin, resembles a man named Trenton Shaver, and is friends with
>zach nasakasanasa who worked with
>trendon shavers aka Pirateat40

Is that right?
Seems pretty far out there IMHO.

Plus I provided the links so, yes, that's in a nutshell.

BTW, that HIV pirate guy has nothing to with Bitcoin, as far as I know, but the Pirate naming idea could have stemmed from there.

Did you know that SurfAir has a French connection, and has anybody looked at the VCs that have invested in them, besides Leto?

Wade, the CEO, used to work for the DIA (not CIA).

~Bruno~

I am very impressed that you were able to connect all those dots, I'm just not sure what it means.

Do you think there is more to BTCST than Trendon Shavers running a ponzi scheme? It seems like a pretty simple explanation to me.

Revisit the tread, but the above was ref. to...


I have 5 years trading experience.

You're 17 now, so are you telling us you have been trading since you were 12?
Pokemon cards do not count.

And I have access to my advisor, who is a forex broker himself.

Who is your advisor, any relation to you? Are you paying him for his advice or does he work pro-bono? What exactly is his role?
Is he involved in the technical, financial, legal or PR aspects of bitcoinica? All of the above?

I bought my first stock in Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2006 when I was 12. It's not a game.

My advisor doesn't take charge of Bitcoinica operations, and I don't pay him. I help him with his new social marketing venture and he helps me confirm the viability of the features that I purpose.

I did everything on my own.


I may have just stumbled upon Zhou Tong's adviser. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that some actor played the part of ZT at this point. For payment, he got to sit in the hot tub with Brock Pierce to pretend they're the creators of South Park filming a documentary.

Rannala said, “What we’re looking for is companies that are disrupting existing markets, and going after very large markets — preferably ones that are facing transition or being poorly served right now.”

Case in point: Surf Air.

They lease planes.

Apologies for going overboard, for my initial intent was just to show the Edison connection, but a bigger can of worms opened up during the process.

But anyone who thinks this isn't a big thing obviously has no idea how much influence Glenn Beck has.
