Re: BitcoinWallet.com - SOLD for $250,000

bitcoinwallet.com couldn't have sold for $250k!
Try going in the site now.
Someone who has $250k to blow on a domain would not make a site that crappy.
It looks terrible and honestly looks like no work went into it.


I agree unless it's only a temp site but it sure doesn't look like one. No marketing, low twitter activity, etc Nuts!

repost:

If this post proves that the real Satoshi is indeed alive and still observing the evolution of bitcoin, does this concern anyone else that he can still do anything, at anytime, with his mountains of coins?

We have known that this has been a possibility all along, but if the post is authentic, it means that he hasn't simply "walked away" from Bitcoin and is still keeping tabs on it. It makes me a little more uncomfortable to know that one person with that kind of capital leverage is quietly observing everything with unknown intentions......

Concerning his intentions, I doubt Satoshi has any ill will toward his own creation.  If anything, like many/most/maybe all of us on here hope for, he believes that BTC will become a much more dominant force than it currently is

Been involved with Bitcoin since early 2013 and I've seen waaayyyy too much shady shit go on to trust anyone in this space when it comes to big amounts of free money. Don't get me wrong, there are some great, trustworthy, people involved, but when there's life-changing amounts of money on the line ( MILLION$) reality starts to set in and people get real.

Satoshi will be forever remembered as an individual who invented a revolutionary piece of technology, but he's a human-being like you and I, not some mythical god.

I would think that most would consider it more of a re-assurance... Consider also that there are opponents of Bitcoin who actually have a truly unlimited amount of money, also consider that less than 10% of all Bitcoins in existence are trading on exchange sites...

To me it emphasizes the future of Bitcoin.

Great points. No disrespect, but just want to point out - your argument supports the "Shit Bitcoin Fanatics Say" stereotype http://www.coindesk.com/funny-bitcoin-video/.

If you'd created something that was storming across the world wouldn't you keep a little bit of interest in it?

The idea of Satoshi completely disengaging would either demonstrate that he/she/it had undergone a severe head injury or definitely was an NSA supercomputer.

Yeah but a fundamental component of human behavior is occasional irrationality.

I trust the guy's work - bitcoin, the technology, is revolutionary.
I don't trust certain fundamental/instinctive human behaviors.

why is everyone screaming 'fake'?
is this not the Satoshi Nakamoto you would expect?
he has worked for the military and he is a genius.....
he is humble....
he said 'he is not involved in bitcoin'. which is consistent with the real Satoshi.

makes perfect sense to me. very plausible.



You sure about that?

It's his account replying there alright. It also says he's 38 years old, quite a lot younger than Dorian Nakamoto.

Ok so I'm not imagining this.... Crazyy!

Re: Gavin regrets after Satoshi revealed
by

on 06/03/2014, 14:48:38 UTC
Gavin's tweet expresses regret that he spoke with the journalist, but does not confirm that he knows this Nakamoto to be bitcoin's Nakamoto.  

He says that he didn't know they would dox the Nakamoto family--this Nakamoto family got doxxed regardless of whether the theory presented in the article is true or false.  

+1

Gavin should clear it out ...what he really means !!!

+1 Gavin hasn't publicly stated yet that he believes or doesn't believe he's the real deal. Until he does, the speculation continues...

Re: Did Karpeles and his accomplices steal 850,000 coins?
by
SpeculateThis
on 28/02/2014, 15:22:28 UTC
My bet is that the coins where either lost a long time ago or stolen by insiders. Whoever is responsible will probably get away with it though, because they will blame it on "faulty bitcoin code," and the investigators won't know enough to call out the BS. The only real evidence will be the log of all internal transactions, if that even exists. But that could be fudged also. At the very least though, MtGox would be guilty of some kind of commodities trading fraud, or the equivalent term in the Japanese legal system.

+1 I'm willing to bet that however it happened, was over a long period of time, not just "Oh hey did you check that cold storage wallet?  Smiley wait what...what do you mean there is nothing in there!?  Angry... but there was 850,000 coins in there last night!!!! "

Re: Mt. Gox has filed for bankruptcy protection
by

on 28/02/2014, 15:16:31 UTC
I think a HUGE clarification is needed on whether these coins were LOST as in STOLEN, or LOST as in DESTROYED.



Here is the difference:

If they were stolen, market thought 850K were on gox (which they weren't), but the other 850K have been in the ecosystem the whole time.

If they were obliterated,  market thought 850K were on  gox (Which they werent) and 850K wasn't in the market the whole time which makes bitcoin more rare.


Yes I know that either way it is bullish, since now 850K bitcoins won't be released and come out flooding the other exchanges, but it makes a big difference in both terms of scarcity of bitcoin, but also.... how does it feel to know that roughly 1/12 of bitcoins are in a criminal's pocket?

I hope for the sake of all of us that these bitcoin were accidentally destroyed. I'm sure its probably a mix of stolen and destroyed though...

Either way we NEED clarification on this point. Anybody have any idea? did Karpeles specify?

And..... you expect them to just openly state that they stole the coins?  Roll Eyes

And here we are today.  If this theory is correct, there are 750,000 less bitcoins in existence than what everyone thought.  


I don't understand why your theory would equate to there being less Bitcoins than we thought.

There's also the possibility of the private keys to those coins being lost forever  Wink

Re: Predict the next Gox revelation here and win respect from fellow forum members

on 27/02/2014, 05:05:49 UTC
no revelation, but gox is going down and it's gonna bring everyone with it done.

Why do you say that?

Once the letter leaked exposing the damage (aka worst case scenario), the market dropped and found resistance in the 400s.

Now people are now realizing that all BTC holdings not on Gox just got a hell of a lot more valuable since its pretty much confirmed that Gox coins don't exist and some (not all) that lost out will want to buy back in.

edit: fixed your post
