But don't get excited. Slovenia is small and the bank is not doing well.
Let me guess: They invested in crypto and now they are trying to pump it
I have read somewhere in this forum that the Bitstamp owners are the richest people in Slovenia. Is that true (or somewhat close to the truth)?
That seems unlikely.
They say (Bitstamps owners themselves) that they are probably richest 20-year old Slovenians. As for article - it's general, but with very position tone. Strange for a bank. Probably pump I agree
Charging trading fees ranging from .5% to .2%, Bitstamps founders make clear in their steady, confident way that they are making bank. Their monthly revenue at current trading volume which is lower than usual is between $700,000 and $900,000 USD. Were not the richest people in Slovenia, but we may be the richest 20-year-olds, says Merlak.
Bitstamp leaked their customer email addresses by the way, that's why all the new phishing attempts. Reminiscent of Emptygox 2011. Fuck all the operating major Bitcoin exchanges.
This is just getting stupid. After Im confident of the reversal and fairly sure its choo choo time Im getting all of my funds off exchanges and not trading until im confident in a competent exchange.
I have Bitstamp verified account and I never received the gox scam mail neither the btcguild scam mail or any other bitcoin related scam or spam. I don't think those are connected.
Me too.. and i hate posting me too posts. But in this case, i'm in the same boat.. i also had a gox account (that i never used cos i never verified) and got none of these phishing mails.
Me3.. never got phishing mail, and I am verified user of Bitstamp.
Wow good news indeed. As I understand no taxes for buying or selling bitcoins. Taxes are applied only for profit from mining or seling stuff for bitcoin.
edit: didn't see it, mmitech had nice summary already written
