The Bitcoin Foundation-fraudsters, pedophiles, murderers ,fat fucks and scammers

[Ron~Popeil]

There is no faith in people,  greed always takes over.   That's the down side of crypto.

The desire for economic gain or "greed" is not a down side. Henry Ford created the Model A because he believed he could make money, the same for Edison, the Wright Brothers, Gutenberg, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and thousands of others that have changed the world. This desire is innate in the human species and is responsible for some of the greatest advances in history.

Open source or not, core devs do not answer to you and they may answer to others. I, for one, think there is too much centralization around bitcoin's development.

So stop using their software.

There are viable alternatives.

pedophiles, murderers.... and 'fat fucks'

Having no qualms with Bruce and Gel's lifestyle, even admiring them for such, along with their noble efforts to bring Bitcoin to the mainstream via their ONLY ONE shows, they were dug a new asshole due chiefly in part to ONLY ONE comment Bruce once made on some other formum years past regarding a three-pronged attack - forcible sex by two adult males with one early- to mid-teen boy.

The above mention probably didn't even make its way outside this forum, but was enough to have Bruce, along with his life-partner, Gil, no longer post here, scaling back their Bitcoin involvement, with fellow bitcoiners joining the choir to the tune, "Glad that pervert's gone!"

Compare that with how Brock Pierce has been in the news for over a decade about acts thousands of times worst, yet we are lead to believe that none of it is true, in spite of the myriad sources.

Hell, the learned board members with their degrees plastered on the wall for all to see thought it wise to consider putting him on the ballot, then followed through. The same crew that had disdain for Bruce Wagner. Double standard much, or only when it fits your pocketbook?

That's how it's perceived by us Bitcoin Minions, and that's have Bitcoin will be perceived as more press is penned about The Bitcoin Foundation having an accused pedophile in its ranks.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have yet another hard-on to attend to, currently eyeing a goat's left ear lobe and, to be clear, I'm not kidding.

Gox could manipulate cause no one could get coins out.  Much harder to manipulate open system.

The biggest problem "inherent to capitalism" is that people do not know what it really is and they believe the crap taught it school and on TV. In case you do not know, real free-market capitalism is an ideal condition to work towards achieving..

These "capitalism would be perfect if only we were DOING IT RIGHT" pipedream arguments remind me of something... now what could it be?

Ahhh yes, fundamentalist Christianity. Wake the fuck up, capitalism is a living nightmare for most of the world, even though it's been a pretty sweet deal for Elder English-speaking White Males.

Capitalism is a Cult, and economics is the pseudo-science which supports it.

It is the direct descendant of feudalism, our last ties to an era characterized by violence, slavery, and exploitation. For god's sake we're still paying RENT in 2014!! We peasants paying LAND-LORDS for the RIGHT to LIVE in decent shelter. There are no barbarians trying to kill us these days, the LORDS do nothing to protect the LAND, yet still we PAY THEM. WHY? Tradition, ignorance, obedience, nation-state indoctrination, and stupidity - that's why.

If you want a decent future for your grandchildren to live in, you must accept that decent food, shelter, healthcare, and education are a BIRTHRIGHT for ALL HUMAN BEINGS.

Any economic philosophy - capitalism included - that tells you humans must WORK for the right to EXIST is a LIE! Capitalism is ignorance, and therefore it is evil.

"All that is required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing"

"There is only one good: Knowledge. And one evil: Ignorance"
-Socrates

Well put, except for the "Elder English-speaking White Males"

People are still reading technologically-obsolete theories (that includes Austrian economics) dating back before the Internet and before cryptocurrency. It's like wanting to go back to the telegraph for communication, or horses for transportation...

yeah, I pretty much agree with the OP. Bitcoin Foundation = shit

Who appointed them any ? It's supposed to be decentralized and open.

At the time it was expressed that a governing arm needed to be in place to address the various three-letter agencies when they start a callin'. They called. They went. Then, they place an accused pedophile on its board, thinkin' that that's what's best for Bitcoin.

Two years ago, it was concerned madness to have Bruce Wagner in the fold. Today, it's considered madness if one questions Brock Pierce's board position, and the latter is much worst than the former.

That's madness!

Have you heard about the coup in Thailand? Bruce's plans are thwarted!

The desire for economic gain or "greed" is not a down side.

Don't forget Ron Popeil was also working for an honest profit and he created some of the best infomercials in history.

The Bitcoin Foundation, folks! Convincing people they still have a inch of power.

It really won't be hard for anybody to take them down, since, dare I say it - they don't control anything. They're just idiots that make people want to label Bitcoin a different way. There's at least 20k+ Bitcoin users out there that don't want to follow their rules.

There's got to be a hell of a lot more than 20k now involved in Bitcoin

Of course there is. More than 60K merchants accept it. Over 100K people have adopted it.

Meant to say:

Over 300K people use the forum.

I see you have your hands in your pocket. Planning on doin' some fishin' or is something else goin' on?

70% of which favor Sunlot taking over Mt Gox according to some estimates.

And, I applaud them 60K merchants for having the wisdom to accept bitcoins, albeit said wisdom was somehow lacking when it came time to post their Bitcoins-Accepted-Here here: http://coinmap.org/



In North America, the count is shy of 2,000. Take a look at the map and see for yourself.

Then, zoom in to Santa Monica where Bitropolis is located and NOT see all the B&Ms that Brock Pierce and his cronies have yet to convince. You telling me that not even the Mighty Duck, Brock Pierce, can convince http://www.cafecrepe.com/ to accept bitcoins, given that they're located two floors below GoCoin/Incubation Center, and probably the CEOs/employees eat there on a regular basis. Like, WTF!

Then, zoom in to Las Vegas, where Michael Terpin and Brock Pierce both live and, again, NOT see a number of B&Ms that should be much higher than it is now. What is probably represented was obtained via us Bitcoin Minions, THEM wanting us to do even more, all the while them fucks lining their pockets with ill-gotten gains. Looking at you, Paymium, et al.

I dare you to name other Bitcoin entities that they themselves are NOT even on the map.

http://coinmap.org/ should be something we show to others to depict the myriad vendors that accept bitcoins. Instead, it's an embarrassment.

[buffalodoge]

JaJAja, i noticed that the other night.

Especially lulzy how there are more people accepting Bitcoin in Marbella than in Santa Monica, innit?
