A friend of mine bought into bitcoin early and made like $70k which was cool because it meant I could talk poo poo about bitcoin and his spending several thousand dollars on mining equipment and not feel bad. That is, until he deposited $50k into a bank account while unemployed and it all got seized by the feds and he found out he's being charged with money laundering :eng99:

I wonder what exchange a person can use to buy those stolen bitcoins from the anonymous thieves. Everybody says that those stolen bitcoins are going to be worth more than $50,000 apiece someday. The same people who got ripped off before will have to pay me all that extra money to get their fake currency back and this sounds like a great investment opportunity!

Everybody should be buying stolen bitcoins now! Look at how high the price rcovered after all the Mt. Gox users were ripped off.

Using Intel CPU and Motherboard ? Your Bitcoins may be in actual danger.
Today at 11:09:09 AM

This is probably one of these "Elephant in the room" topics.
Everybody knows it, but nobody talks about it.

Most of new Intel chipsets have a deliberately built-in backdoor that allows :
Remote access to your machine even when computer is turned off (but plugged to power & network socket). Intel's AMT is actually active when computer's power button is OFF.
Hiding code of some apps & malware from the running system using sophisticated DRM scheme
Installing a rootkit / trojan that cannot be removed even if the disk, RAM memory and BIOS are all wiped out clean.
Run signed JAVA code outside of CPU !

What's more:
It works outside of the control of CPU, system and BIOS
It's closed source (obviously)
Intel doesn't want to say how it works
Intel (so NSA & US govt too) has secret keys, using which they can totally control your machine with totally no way of you detecting it
It cannot be turned completely OFF (there is a BIOS switch, but as proven - it does not work fully)

it seems like the ultimate downfall of bitcoin is not its obvious technical flaws or the fact that it isn't really a currency and is instead more of an ivestment but that energy is not infinite and free

the technical flaws will kill it first, but they'll be doing buttcoin 2.0 or whatever to address those specific problems and then either the rampant deflationary cycles or the energy costs from doing unnecessary redundant hashing will kill that and then they'll fix one of those two and buttcoin 3.0 will be born and it will die from whatever other latent issues they chose to not address because the whole thing is designed and run by myopic nerds

its ok bitcoin is decentralised so it has no single point of failure

and if someone does take control of the network its ok because the bitcoin devs will just change the protocol to ignore those people

yeah exactly, no matter what the details of the protocol, the fundamental economic planks of bitcoin (deflationary, no central bank) absolutely destroy it as a meaningful currency. the very, very best they can hope for is what they currently have - a commodity/service that is a quick way of moving money around to places that you don't want people to know you moved money to. and it's really, really bad at that too.
