This is the magnificent bitcoin gem


It is worth 126.84 bitcoins and currently owned by
Butterfly Labs sucks balls

Heh. That's an expensive diss now that the site is frozen.


Freezing ownership without prior notice is a despicable move by the site owner,
scammy, yes, and can or will kill what minimal trust there was in the idea.

(Not only do you need to worry about being the biggest fool in Bitcoin,
but now also about the site owner hanging you out to dry on his whim.)

I fail to understand the motivation...

Freezing/selling is not the best move if the owner is a profit-maximizing scammer.

Why not let the gem fly, and land at some ridiculous price?

Why not make the bitcoingem a red-paperclip of stupidity for the papers to write about?

I don't get it.  Smiley
