Swedish newspaper (article in English) does some investigative reporting from Ukrainian call center selling bitcoin investments. Nothing really new, but maybe articles like this at least can stop old people getting taken advantage of (it’s never going to stop true believers).

I assume true believers are somewhat knowledgeable and store their coins under bird baths, these folks mostly seem to take advantage of old people who know even less than true believers

Every so often I imagine some mafioso schmuk trying to coordinate a massive arms/drugs deal with bitcoin, fat fingering the address with a zero instead of the letter o and sending all the funds to some satoshi dice wallet from 2012 and then he got whacked in the next 24 hours

I just realised that if you put integrated circuits into statists, you get statistics is doing math with computers actually an authoritarian conspiracy? and what does that leave bitcoin backed by?

They still do the live support thing, there was a talk about it at the last CCC.
