you will find many shady and questionable characters in some old threads like:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=103623
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=91252.0

I just read those today, after an old timer pointed them out to me. Surely there are more threads like those.

You can also find there some people who demonstrated rather very good judgement. This forum has lots of data for historians. I wish someone made sure that all the older posts are preserved for posterity.

A good friend of mine told me that bitcointalk is full of scammers and fraudsters. I did not believe him at first and he pointed out this thread. This is just epic. Some things are not quite clear but it is still an eye openiner. Lots of ponzy runners are still active on the forum, some changed their nicks like pay.btc -> chowyunfat, some simply trying to bury history under disguise of being helpful to noobs like Goat. All that after clearly criminal activity right here on this forum. Unbelievable!

Beware people, this is a den of thieves. Do not get fleeced.


Another epic thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=91252.0 started shortly before pirate collapse. It gets really heated in the middle. Nicely shows who is who.

I am following btcglobal because I know personally for very long time some of the people behind it and even thinking about buying some shares. Posted in another thread today https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=203798

anything older than 58xx and you are wasting your time and money

1 million $ sounds about right, I am sure Max Keiser will agree with me. I also think that at a peak of some upcoming bubble it could happen sooner than later.

Wow, my friend Vovka "GPU impaler" got himself a million dollar start-up. http://btcglobal.net/shares  The valuation has doubled today. At least I know for sure it will be not an easy feat to hack it. Just nmaped btcglobal.net server, it is seriously hardened with signature "piss off" message on ssh port at one of nearby IP's. At least I now know why I was not invited to any BBQs despite start of the "season".

it is still profitable, at least if you already have a good GPU

LTC is good for mining and dumping for BTC right away.

China is big, it will take a few days even week to get some momentum but it will come. Buying BTC now. All I can

bitstamp.net is a good one

Just want to say hi.
