    How a Bitcoin Evangelist Made Himself Vanish, in 15 (Not So Easy) Steps

    1. No one is telling anyone what to do. It's one guy presenting his OpSec ideas. Take what you want out of it, or none of it. 2. You're being disingenuous here. You know full well that was before all this setup he made and to prevent such attacks in the future. I'm sure the wife of one of the...

    Bitcoin is dead...

    I don't know about $1M for 1 bitcoin, but I believe bitcoin, barring any major network disruption (i.e. software bugs or what not) can go to $100K or higher. You know, someone asked me in 2013 how high I thought bitcoin will go, and I said possibly $10K, and of course with a shared laughter...

    Bitcoin is dead...

    Bitcoin's value is in the brand. You can generate a clone coin but the network adoption (i.e. merchants, users others) won't be there. That is why most of the cryptocurrencies clones are worthless or worth much less. You cannot go to a store and pay with a gold bar, but I can assure, it has...

    At least 40 000 ETC stolen from Gate io

    Not sure if it's good for bitcoin, probably negative effect (negative impression to cryptocurrencies in general). But yea, only worry about events related to the coins you're invested in and always what events affect bitcoin. A good analogy is if you're invested in NVDA, you don't care if...

    At least 40 000 ETC stolen from Gate io

    schweiz, I'm on the camp that views bitcoin as a store of value like digital gold and the currency functionality is a very nice bonus. it makes for a high-risk/high-reward speculative investment vehicle. Speaking from experience, bought bitcoin as an investment, and spent when it was...

    schweiz, I have you on ignore but I see your post when I'm not logged in. Any currency or payment network that is currently in-use is very complex. Let's take the $, does everyone understand how it's created and accounted for and distributed? I don't. There are things like monetary policy...

    At least 40 000 ETC stolen from Gate io

    Just finally read a little more, gate.io exchange says that the network was under attack for 4 hours, so I take it back that I doubt it happened. I kinda read another snippet about it that Coinbase was suspending all transactions regarding etc as the network was under attack (at that time). ETC...

    At least 40 000 ETC stolen from Gate io

    Cryptocurrencies (most of them) are decentralized, censor-proof, distributed network. The "attacker" allegedly performed a double-spend attack by sending the 40K ETC and then rewrote the block(s) so the transfer never happened and the 40K coins still belong to the original wallet. But what if...

    At least 40 000 ETC stolen from Gate io

    There's misinformation on this thread as the posters are trying to discuss a complex system they don't understand. I probably won't add any clarity by posting, but what the heck. ETC does not have a very secure blockchain network, as there's not much incentive for mining it as the coin/reward...
