Telegram shut down their ICO. How badly did trying to make an Internet magical money tree go for them? Well, Telegram is now $500m in hock to the Russian totally-not-mafia.

Seems like John McAfee took a break from cocaine and running from the IRS long enough to plagiarize an existing privacy alt-coin in the form of his "Ghost" coin.

Lol that's literally the coin my friend was raving about drunkenly yesterday after I told him I really didn't want to hear about crypto any more. He's convinced he's going to make tens of thousands of dollars easily? Everything is stupid.

Who thinks they are getting rich off a coin that stuffmonger probably invented with the purpose of buying more research chemicals? Every one of McAfee's posts are a delight, and they have coin scammers in the replies, pretending to use his name. I guess fiction has become reality.

John McAfee is my answer to that job interview question "where do you see yourself in 10 years?" Look forward to libertarian presidential candidate xtal, despite being Canadian. On the other hand, not so much about the scat fetish.

He gets duped very easily by things that sound good. "The more I read about crypto, the more value I see in it! Besides it redirects money away from GOVERNMENT  "Because now he thinks governmental spending is bad? Despite being like, a liberal Canadian? gently caress me. It wouldn't be so bad if he didn't take it personally when I explain to him how I feel about it.

Is it still possible to call John McAfee pretty much any time any place to ask him about how awesome he is and/or tell him his bath salt addictions and his cryptocurrency are loving stupid before he can try to organize a twitter mob on you?

I searched for this and couldn't find any mention of it, so please excuse if this is a repeat:Channel 2 KTUV posted:Considered by many to be a "computer genius," [Douglas] Saltsman is the founder of Saltmine.io -- a now-defunct blockchain and cryptocurrency company which was based out of Saltsman's Sandy, Utah home. So if his company is now defunct, why is a TV station reporting on him? You get three guesses, and the first two  don't count.

Man, this thread sure gets quiet without Seraph around, but I certainly don't miss them. I get the feeling we're probably not too far from another massive sell-off. Looks like the price dropped 5% last night. And with the way most of the US has been handling covid-19, a second wave seems pretty likely, which will cause people to freak out and sell off, likely a much bigger sell off than the first one. There's also this article, which suggests that bitcoin is probably running low on actual cash, which if true, will likely also cause people to freak out a bunch and try to scrape out whatever they can https://decrypt.co/29930/nearly-5-billion-in-tethers-were-issued-since-january-why And in other fun news: Russia Proposes Law That Criminalizes Buying Bitcoin With Cash, Offenders Face 7 Years in Jail https://news.bitcoin.com/russia-law-criminalizes-buying-bitcoin-7-years-jail/ This is all, of course, good for bitcoin.

Imagine the opportunities you could have had if you had been offered equity in Mt Gox years ago. "if you thought for one second your money was safe, then you shouldn't be trading bitcoin at all." ... "Hey where have all the traders gone?"

CampingCarl posted:Your logic could be true, but of course bitcoin doesn't follow logic. A 5% drop is as much in indicator of a massive sell-off as a 15% increase. of course. the 5% thing i mentioned is pretty par for the course on any given day of bitcoin, and honestly not all that remarkable. and yeah, for the most part, bitcoin isn't dictated by logic, and my premise assumes there will be a second 'vid wave and that we'll have to close down again, but as far as i know, you can't really pay medical [or other] bills, pay rent, or buy groceries with bitcoin, so there would likely be another giant wave of people converting their beautiful satoshis into filthy fiat. it honestly kinda feels like a big dumb game of texas hold 'em, where everybody's somehow got 2-7s, and they're all bluffing their asses off. it all feels a lot more psychological than logical.
