Changetipbot will need a Money Transmitter Licence, americans are banned from the global tipping economy. Bitcoin not affected because anti-fragility BLOCKCHAINS.

So does that mean all the people that got Bitcoin and dogecoin tips now all need to submit to AML and KYC compliance regulations?

so one of the foundation members is literally a pyramid scheme

the obvious thing to do here is to kick them out and institute screening policies so this sort of thing won't happen again. so naturally instead they're just bullshitting about 'innocent until proven guilty' and 'well how do you PROVE they're a pyramid scheme'

seems like they took them off the list, wonder why

edit: might as well send an inquiry to ask why they would do such a thing and whether they're cool with brucie's and their "chief scientists" statements on reddit about it

i had the opposite problem, there used to be a lot of people with b/w photos of dead authors as avatars and so i'd get mistaken for cefte occasionally or something

thankfully, no one else has a photo of a philosopher with a cowboy hat in it. i get confused with a dead guy in TCC though.

i think my favorite bitcoiner delusion is that all these magic lines and triangles they draw on their log charts mean anything at all

it's all over investing. the thing is that their belief in how the charts and fibonacci analysis poo poo makes it real. but the bitcoin market is so shallow and so few people are actually trading, it's not happening.

i've just realized how depressed i am that i recognize all of these indicators off the bat

i don't know what's worse, the idea that someone just scribbled all over a chart or that there's actually someone somewhere who thinks that this is a logical way of thinking

traders know it's all bullshit but the fact that so many people believe in it, makes the market behave in that way.

It is confirmed. other people received coins from bitsamp in the same transactions that sent coins to this wallet(what nice hackers), and people have followed their deposits that never made it to the site into this wallet.

This wasn't a hack, this wasn't a theft, this was somebody making a spelling error or something, and bitstamp sending coins into a wallet they don't have a key for.

can't the hackers leave the wallet's normal operations in place while also transferring out?

actually these are weirdly irregular amounts and a large amount of transactions.

now that bitcoin is dead cat bouncing, everyone has started talking about "blockchain technology"

what does the blockchain do besides unmodifiable ledger and entries at the cost of huge amounts of wasted heat and hard drive space?
