I had about 50% of my life savings in MtGox.... (self.Bitcoin)

submitted 32 seconds ago by eduardom15

About 3 moths ago, I deposited 3 BTC to MtGox. I initially purchased the BTC from coinbase, and decided to transfer them to MtGox so that i could be able to buy and sell BTC without having to wait a week to get my BTC.This was perhaps the worst decision of my entire life.I have been trying to withdraw my BTC for about 2 months now, but i have been unable to.I was underage at the time that I deposited the BTC and submitted the AML verification request form.I finally turned 18 yesterday, and the first thing i did was submit another verification form.I am really afraid now because i don't have any of the documents that they ask for for proof of residence.I submitted a bank account statement, college acceptance letter, and a letter from my brokerage account. Do you guys think that these documents will be enough to get my account verified? What happens if my account is denied? Will i lose all my money?

I don't see why they would allow me to deposit my BTC in the first place, and then not allow me to withdraw them.I have been really frustrated/angry/ and sad for the past 2 weeks,knowing that i might have just lost all that money.Im already down over 1k from my initial bitcoin investment, and this has just made things worse.

Bitcoin's community thinks porn will save Bitcoin, as porn is ahead of the curve on technology and economics.

That's true, in that porn is in a post scarcity society with just a few gross ferangi paying for their weird rear end fetishes.

apparently just hours before the gox withdrawal news someone liquidated 25,000 coins. Bitcoiners surprisingly think it is insider trading (probably right) and complain about a lack of regulation.

So, the trillion-dollar question: who took the money? Strictly speaking, we don’t know that yet. We’re talking about a sum of money so large that “humongous” and “enormous” aren’t sufficient to describe it – it’s 6% of all bitcoin in existence, and assuming bitcoin keeps growing to its potential, that means one individual is sitting on 6% of the world’s future trade and retail currency supply.

"I'm not finished yet, sir. There's one more thing I've got to say: I Do Not Consent and I Waive All Benefits."

"W-Where did you hear that? How could you know those word?" The judge demanded, but with all illusions of authority now shattered in front of his goons.

"Shocking, I know. Some of us are actually educated. And our numbers are growing every day. So if you don't mind, I'll be on my way now," I said, now leaving. The stunned guard snapped out it and reached for me.

"No one said you could leave!"

"Officer Moreland, wait. Let him go. He's... not worth it." said the judge, calling off his dog.

I could now see out the courtroom doors into the grande cathedral of a courthouse. The bright evening sun shown on the white stone pillars, and beyond them the golden summer sky through the enormous windows. Some day, after the system falls, we bitcoiners will amass here. Not to dress up and assert a make-believe authority created by lawyers preying on the ignorant, but to do trade. To take part in commerce with our hard-mined Bitcoin.

"Judge, what was that he said at the end, something about waiving all benefits--" I heard the hired muscle say as I stepped into the embracing sunlight.

"You'd be best not to repeat that, Officer. If the general public were ever to gain just half the knowledge and courage that he has, they'd be coming for our heads."

You bet we will.

Called the FBI wondering if they had looked into Mt.Gox after about a minute they hung up on me. (self.Bitcoin)

submitted 3 minutes ago by rufuscoder

So I was really curious about a criminal investigation and when I was transferred to a real person I asked him about it. The agent I spoke with said he had no knowledge of what I was talking about. Then I requested that he transfer me to a division or person who might know something about the matter. He finally the hung up after about 5 seconds. This really bothered me, any thoughts

The major problem here is that the auditing and security features were not explicitly looking for negative balances. They add deposits and withdrawals and check that accounts are in balance. If you have 2 BTC, withdraw 10 BTC, and are left with -8 BTC, the software would see that you deposited 2, withdrew 10, and have exactly what you should: -8.

i recently read the mazacoin page and forums some. apparently the american indian movement won't sponsor his coin because "the developers (myself included) are white. They believe it to be a "white man's scam" at this point."

it's starting to sound to me like some rear end in a top hat duped a tribe council into accepting his fork of zetacoin under promises of it being green, etc etc. of course the problem is if they haven't dealt with mining then mazacoin is doomed to be incredibly destructive to nature.

so, a ridiculous backstory is created! most bibles that are not KJV have a handful of passages that are translated in ways they do not like, so those are declared WRONG and that they are literally TRICKS BY THE DEVIL to lead you astray. they claim that this change is because of a corrupted version of the text (i think it's the vulgate? i might be wrong on this part).

Just to highlight how deeply retarded Pirate is...

The current charges against him are civil SEC penalties. He's not facing jailtime. Yet when asked by a federal SEC attorney "Did you destroy evidence?" his answer is "YUP, YOUR SUBPOENA WAS TLDR!". A high school student that took a pre-law class would have told him to invoke his 5th amendment rights to most of those questions.

He went into a deposition, alleging he defrauded $149,000,000 from investors, without an attorney.





Bonus comedy: all of the red underlines in the deposition are original, and must have been made by the SEC attorney

“Detractors of paper money have always been fixated by the absence of gold to back it up, but they fail to recognize what really makes a currency accepted and secure – the government guarantee and the good sense of the sovereign not to abuse its franchise.”

And he finishes with grand vision, “It’s not the gold but the face of Caesar – the promise his image carries – that makes a coin money.”

With this final beautiful prose, despite my stubborn resistance, Morici may have ultimately convinced me of his opinion.

And this is why, from this day forward, I shall with diligence stamp the face of Caesar into each slice of my bread, and carve it delicately upon my door, so that my food may always be rich and sustaining, and my home may be guaranteed its utility forever.

Bitcoin may fail for a great many reasons, Mr Morici. But if it does, it will not be for want of a tyrant’s face behind it.
