Pirate will win if this continues...

[smoothie]

This is how he will win (be successful in his "scheme")....

The mere fact that there is so much discussion on what pirate is or isn't doing just shows me that he has gotten what he wanted....you guessing and speculating. Thus he can more likely predict the sentiment of the overall forum and make moves based on that.

Perhaps we should stop talking about him and focus on getting bitcoin noticed by more businesses and people...more mainstream.

This is what will make bitcoin successful, not whether or not Pirate is running a ponzi or not. Worse things have happened already and bitcoin is alive and well..


I suggest we let him do what he does and focus on fundamentals in terms of "speculation". Pirate's operation is not a fundamental in the big picture of bitcoin. Perhaps money laundering/ponzi over time will have an affect on bitcoin but it will not make it successful alone (Pirate's operation).

Anyone who needs to come on IRC and type comments about what they are or aren't doing in the bitcoin trading market has an agenda. Period.

Pirate who?

Pirate who?

My friend, that's the attitude....forget about him.

Just another random thought and warning:

Those who have BTC on deposit with Pirate might be too comfortable because they have been receiving payouts weekly. Don't get too comfortable. Just like gold and silver, if it isn't in your possession, you dont own it.

Wait, people have been handing over their bitcoins to some guy on the Internet who promises large returns on their investments?  This is going to end well...  I guess some people need to learn the lessons of history anew.

Reminds me of the snake story the Indian told in natural born killers.

Forgot how it went.

But basically a girl found a snake, she held and nourished the snake, and after a while it bit her

She asked why did you bite me

And the snake said, look bitch you knew I was a snake

Don't know if pirate is a snake but can't help but think of that story every time I see a pirate thread
