Toys For rear end Bum posted:I guess this explains why Bitcoin has dropped $1000 in just over 4 weeks This is why bitcoin has been crashing: AlphaBay and Hansa dark web markets shut down TBH this is perfectly normal churn in the internet drugs scene, and since this is now the third major law enforcement incursion into the DNM scene there's now plenty of precedent to predict that the scene will crystallize quickly around one of the dozens of other markets which were unaffected by this and bitcoin will again be inexplicably breaking records within 6 months to a year Anyway here's the GBS moneyshot. The alleged founder of Alphabay who killed himself in a Thai jail a few weeks ago was a big poster on the Roosh PUA forums under the username Rawmeo and this was his signature  Family of dead AlphaBay suspect says he was a “good boy” Alexandre Cazes, 26, also apparently spent a lot of time in a "pickup artist" forum. quote:On Friday afternoon, The Globe and Mail, a Canadian newspaper, described how Cazes, under the name Rawmeo, frequently posted to Roosh V, a "pickup artist" discussion forum. poverty goat fucked around with this message at 16:03 on Jul 22, 2017 |

COMRADES posted:The problem is so many exchanges and whatnot have either been shut down or robbed or stole from their customers outright so unless you just have your own secure wallet (and kept the passwords for it for years) odds are good your BTC stash would have disappeared at some point between now and the last several years. this has only actually happened to a tiny minority of exchanges and online wallet things

divabot posted:exchanges are only hacked incredibly rarely! about once a month there are lots of exchanges though so even if this were true it wouldn't amount to good odds that any given person using bitcoin would have bitcoins stolen

divabot posted:Good thing those exchanges are FDIC insured exchanges aren't banks either though, they aren't there to store your bitcoins and letting them do so is 100% elective rather than some kind of foundational reality of bitcoin as you guys seem to think people who hide cash in their mattress are just as hosed if their house gets robbed, but that's not an argument against cash, just a bad thing that happens to idiots

divabot posted:so basically, you shouldn't keep bitcoins on an exchange, and you shouldn't keep bitcoins at home you shouldn't keep bitcoins any longer than it takes to spend them it's currency, not an investment

China kicked off the current crash a couple of weeks ago by banning ICOs as well. Chinese miners are probably next.  faux legitimate drug currency

evilweasel posted:if it wanted to mtgox its customers (or if it was doing it already), tough luck you idiots are unsecured creditors with claims against empty bank accounts and nobody cares, good job giving all your actual irl dollars to some random idiots Keeping your coins in an exchange instead of under your own private control has always been optional though and anyone who does it is some ratio of stupid and lazy and has it coming

Who What Now posted:What's it matter what they're worth when it's impossible to cash out except by dealing drugs? It's only hard to cash out if you have tens of thousands of dollars or more that can't be reported to regulators The only people selling coins in back alleys or whatever are dark web drug dealers who have to turn it back to cash asap to buy more drugs for sale, and koolaid drinking purestrain libertarians poverty goat fucked around with this message at 17:00 on Oct 13, 2017 |
