Moar mainstream interest.

Edit: that's a buy for ants! Not even a million.

I was a bit confused by the title too in terms of the price of a GBTC share.. which seems to be .001 BTC per share, so $28,000 would be a bit more than $1 million around current BTC prices of $36k per BTC, but the GBTC shares are trading around $31 as I type, so those 28,000 shares would currently only cost around $868k, and presumably a bit lower when Morgan Stanley bought them.. since we have a slight UPpity - perhaps for ants, yet in the past 11 days we have not broken above the mid $36ks.. so we will find out if this time is different or not.

I would consider that even buying something in the neighborhood of $700k to $800k shares in GBTC at a discount $30 or less would likely have great odds of a good pay off for anyone hanging onto those shares for 4 years or longer, but I doubt that Morgan Stanley would be locking themselves into longer term HODLing plays.. but still they might find themselves in a decent place even a year from now with that purchase.. who knows? Many of us have longer time horizons in terms of our buying of BTC, but institutions have all kinds of conflicting motives that may or may not end up working out for them in terms of how they might end up playing their BTC hand.

Still there for now:

Even if for some reason Cøbra will comply (keep in mind that they don't know his identity!), only UK visitors will be affected.

Sorry, I might not have been following the default judgement matter sufficiently because surely there could potentially be ways to still make an appearance and to preserve identity, but once a default judgement is handed down, then it would likely be harder to appeal any aspect of it.. And, in any event it seems like a potentially reasonable point in terms of merely removing the posting of the whitepaper (or the cite) from the UK. I wonder if that resolves the issue? Of course, there is the matter of the fine and whether to pay it, too. Seems like paying it would more clearly cause that issue to go away, but there could be some options regarding that matter too... It would not be good to cause any situation that gives any hooks to shut down an otherwise valid website, such as the nonpayment of a fine... so of course, legal counsel would be beneficial to consider the weighing of options.

However I loath that lowlife POS CSW, whilst Musk basks in the sunshine in comparison.

The good thing is, that CSW has a dedicated thread on this forum, and you're very welcome to drop by and take a shit.
Fear not, it will get deleted. Tongue

Even though I cannot really disagree with your intentions CT, it seems like a BIG ass waste of time to be posting in a self-moderated scam thread, whether about BSV or any other self-moderated scam thread that is on the forum.. but no problem posting in some parallel thread (not self-moderated) in which your posts are not going to get deleted (or cross-referencing their nonsense in the not self-moderated thread).
