You couldn't possibly be so uninformed that you've never heard of off-book buying so I'm not even going to respond to that one.
You tried telling us that we could have bought 10 million Bitcoins for one cent each. That isn't true. Even "off-book" by the time 10 million Bitcoin existed they were trading for a thousand times more than that.
BTW, Bruno was looking for you. Did you guys ever connect?
I've not heard from him for a long time, no. He can PM me here or on reddit if he wants to talk to me.
Just like all the 50 btc VIP forum members. Either that or all the VIP members really did want to spend $50,000 to impress a bunch of strangers.
It wasn't $50k at the time. Anyone wanting to be a VIP member could have easily bought the 50 BTC membership and instantly rebought the 50 BTC at market prices - $5 each or whatever it was back then. It was never about spending $50k to impress a bunch of strangers.
