how long until the announcement that all of mtgox's bitcoins have been stolen using this vulnerability, but they will generously reimburse 25% of each stolen balance from their own personal wallets

mtgox has to end the same way every other bitcoin enterprise has ended

Mis-quoting and blatant lies are unfortunately the journalistic world that exists today. I am just a humble handsome Asian man who is confused as to how a female rear end in a top hat can become transferred onto my brother's rear end. But I saw with my own eyes from released video that there is a surgeon operating without an ethical or moral license to do exactly that.

I and my immediate family were frightened due to obvious safety concerns, angered by our privacy being invaded and highly concerned over a gentle man trying, trying to recover from his life threatening health concerns. He was so private that he did not tell me when he was going through his health threats, only told me quietly when I visited the house in Temple City to take our mother for lunch. And I am his blood brother.

I recall as a child that I looked up to Dorian, who I believe is many times smarter than I am. He taught me as a toddler, protected me from harm, shared with me Manga, the Japanese comic books and made up fantastic stories til I fell asleep. I am forever indebted to him in saving my life when I was 9 years old. He probably doesn’t remember anymore, but I do and that’s what matters to me. I called the writer an rear end in a top hat and told her to leave my brother alone but the whole world did not read that, why? Dorian can be stubborn and be an rear end in a top hat but then I am telling the whole world right here and now that I and only 2 other people in the whole world can say that to him and we are automatically forgiven by him in an instant. He can call me an rear end in a top hat too and has and maybe a few “idiot” or “morons”, but you know, he was probably right and can prove it. That’s private.

How dare this Leah demean, belittle the comforts of an old man in poor health who has barely enough money to feed himself and takes gentle care of our 93 year old mother in a modest house. To act and publish with carefully studied thought along with professional profilers, editors who calculated greed to ultimately endanger my brother's health and his physical safety. To be callous enough to place the safety of our 93 year old mother as a person of no consequence? Their collective act that published their magazines and follow-up public reports speak volumes of the motivation tied to greed. Who is going to be responsible in their safety, her, the executives at Newsweek, the entire Journalistic community? Yes, I place Leah McGraw Goodman and Newsweek and all news organizations that had joined in the feeding frenzy to be held responsible for their blatant and open carelessness.

I understand that I will be mis-quoted in this post and that I will be made out to be the brother who is the rear end in a top hat remark guy. I can and will have no choice that to be slandered and live with that. What I want to make clear is that I am pleading, no, begging for all to allow Dorian to live whatever life he has left to live it in dignity, peace and in private. To let him play with his trains and obsess over being treated to free lunches that he craves for some reason since his stroke. Funny thing is that growing up we were always hungry because there was never enough and lunch was our largest meal. What do I have to do? Show everyone my bowl legs due to malnutrition? His legs which are worse? What lower level of indecency is required to quench their thirst for what I cannot fathom?

Do you know what's a real bitch (I am welling with tears right now) is? I cannot physically go to see him and my mother. To come together as a family to support or call for fear of my immediate family being in physical danger. I can’t go over there to bring groceries or have a private discussion.

Today, Sunday the 23rd, all main newspapers in Cyprus are being wrapped with a Neo & Bee Cover which gives full details about the opening of the first Neo & Bee branch, information about the company's services and information about Bitcoin!

The Neo & Bee Cover also gives details of the company's Call Center (7777 6544) and the company's New Website (https://www.neo-bee.com) which is live!!

The whole country is talking about Bitcoin and Neo & Bee today.

Sounds unbelievable but it is true!

Congratulations to the Neo & Bee team. You have brought the Revolution!

[–]BitCyprus 19 points 1 month ago

FACTS

99% of the Cypriots and foreigners living here hate the banks, the bankers and the Central Bank. They have stolen their bank deposits and lifetime savings. Billions of fiat currency were stolen.

Today there are an estimated 7 billions of euros in maitresses etc.

For the time being very few people know what is a bitcoin. The Neo Mega Marketing Campaign has been running for a month but until yesterday nobody knew what Neo was and the word Bitcoin was not even mentioned.

SO

The opening of the Neo's doors to Cypriots means that now they have the chance to find out what is Bitcoin.

If Neo is successful, hundreds and hundreds of millions will go into Bitcoin...You won't believe in your eyes.

Excuse me.

This guy, the former vice-chairman of Bank of Cyprus Evdokimos Xenofontos is one of the MAIN persons responsible for the COLLAPSE of the Cypriot banks, the state, and the robbery of people's deposits and life time savings from their bank accounts in HIS bank, Bank of Cyprus and Laiki Bank.

He flew out of Bank of Cyprus, pocketing millions in golden parachutes, leaving behind a bankrupt bank that robbed people's deposits and he has been hiding for months now.

He should have been in jail and instead he dares to come out to the day light and make comments about Bitcoin and Neo & Bee?

HE SHOULD BE IN JAIL.

SHAME ON YOU!

Axiom eSports is pleased to announce our newest sponsor, /r/Bitcoin!



/r/Bitcoin is the Reddit subcommunity devoted to the discussion and exchange of information surrounding the digital currency Bitcoin used worldwide. It’s a great place to find resources on Bitcoin cryptocurrency along with information on how to get started. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency that is accepted by a growing number of businesses online. It can be used to transfer funds to others instantly at any time with a negligible fee as well as stay anonymous and secure online with your transactions, avoiding the pitfalls of credit card fraud.



Axiom is not the first StarCraft 2 related venture /r/Bitcoin has invested in. In 2013, /r/Bitcoin contributed to the Starcraft Bitcoin Challenge, a best of 7 showmatch between Acer.Scarlett and Alliance.Naniwa hosted by Axiom owner John ‘TotalBiscuit’ Bain for 14BTC. This event was the highest viewed online Starcraft 2 event of 2013.



Moderator of the subreddit Piotr Piasecki gave a statement about the new partnership saying “We at the /r/Bitcoin community are excited to be working with TotalBiscuit again. The community response during the Bitcoin Starcraft was very positive, so we decided to continue the relationship. We hope the sponsorship will be useful to the Axiom team and will promote the Bitcoin use in eSports scene.”



"We're happy to be working with the folks over at r/Bitcoin once again,” stated TotalBiscuit. “We previously worked together to bring the biggest showmatch in SC2 history into being and it went off without a hitch. It makes sense for something as cutting edge as cryptocurrency to be involved with another cutting edge industry like eSports. An increasing number of sites are starting to accept Bitcoin including Starcraft’s own Teamliquid and /r/Bitcoin is a great place to find guides and information on how to start using cryptocurrency. We'd like to thank the /r/Bitcoin community for their support and hope to bring home results in return.”



As WCS AM Ro16 begins today, fans will notice Axiom players sporting our new sponsor on their uniforms.You can watch the event live at 08:00 PDT on Twitch.tv.

neo & bee had an amazing business plan, i don't see how it could have failed:

[–]cryptocyprus[S] 2 points 6 months ago

No we exchange the euros for BTC, put those BTC into the customers wallet and then when the price rises we rebalance the wallet to retain the original amount of Euros worth of BTC in their wallet and those BTC pass into our reserves. When the price goes down, we top up the customers wallet from our reserves.

The prospect of a widely available Bitcoin fund leaves some industry gatekeepers concerned.

“I don’t even know what to say,” says Kim Forrest, vice-president and senior equity analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group, a Pittsburgh-based registered investment adviser.

“I get that people want to have some non-government affiliated store of value, but this really is not it,” Ms Forrest says. “This is something that is totally fabricated.”

...

Surprisingly, retirement savers have emerged as a large constituent in BIT, accounting for 16 per cent of its investors. Several custodians handling “self-directed” individual retirement accounts, including Pensco Trust, Entrust Group and Millennium Trust, allow accredited investors to allocate retirement savings to the fund.

What is the best way to explain to someone that bitcoin isn't a pre-mined pump and dump scheme?(self.Bitcoin)
submitted 2 hours ago by bitcoin_belief



[–]kilorat 3 points 49 minutes ago
fiat is not even mined at all, it was 100% owned by governments at the start, and all newly minted coins are owned by a central authority at the start. Its all relative, you just have to consider what is more fair than whatever else. I'll take half owned by early adopters over completely owned.



[–]lechango 1 point 47 minutes ago
BTC is the frontrunner, it was the first and has the largest market cap, so if any of these cryptos will hit mainstream adoption it will be BTC first. Taking that into consideration, yes it is already 50% mined which means Undoubtedly some lucky individuals have loads that they spent little to nothing on mining or buying near the beginning. BTC isn't just a pump and dump, it's a big cycle of endless pumps and dumps, which tend to become less volatile as price rises.

It will take some more years to see if things keep on a similar trend in relation to total coins mined to price ratio, but the idea is that the more coins that are mined, the harder they are to mine, the more rare they become which drives the price over the long term. BTC has the best shot at the moment to make it to that long term based off it's previous history, there are few altcoins that have the chance to survive near as long.



[–]catwelder 1 point 2 hours ago
Most early adopters sold their bitcoins or lost them. They're very distributed.



[–]CAPTAIN_FCKN_OBVIOUS 1 point 2 hours ago
Think of it like this. when a pot of water is put on a burner, it takes forever until you get to see a few bubbles. Eventually, you see more and more bubbles and finally you have all kinds of bubbles! Now think about how the financial world works. Millions upon millions of pump and dump schemes.

So in effect the only way bitcoin will ever achieve full rolling boil is with these pump and dumps.

We are the ones waiting for it to boil.

and btw, when bitcoin is being pumped, everyone is so happy.
