Some news will be put to light on national television. Wheels are in motion to ban bitcoin exchange in one country, and this may spread internationally.

I heard an asteroid was headed straight for the internet.

:Golf clap:



Actually, apparently a kind-of asteroid has indeed crashed into the internet:

Though I can't say I've noticed any slowing down today. And BTC still keeps going up.

Sad. No word about cloudflare , they help spamhaus in defending against this attack.

This is just the same shit we had from 'Zyphus' and his friends last week. The post above with falso rumours should actually be moderated. Differing opinion is good. Purposely false rumours aren't...
But you can't know if they are false rumors before the events have played out. Also, we need someone to be BTC bears, there are enough BTC cheerleaders in here.
Do these 'cheerleaders' understand how Bitcoin works as well, and what roles Proof of Work, HashCash and the like or Public-key cryptography play in Bitcoin?
Don't get me wrong, I believe in BTCs and understand their potential but I think we need someone to be skeptical as well. Otherwise, we turn into a reality ignoring cult.

Also, I am tired of people yelling "FUD" whenever someone discusses potential threats against Bitcoins.
Agree, but I think this crosses the line from "skeptical" to "nefarious". If BTC were stocks (and fortunately it is not, but still...), this kind of posting would be illegal.
Isn't the purpose of bitcoin to escape the government enforcement and regulation? In for a penny, in for a pound.

Agreed, but that's why idiots like the OP should pay a price in ill-concealed laughter and ridicule.
Haha! Ok. Agreed!

OP should get SCAMMER tag.

Won't do much good, as he obviously created this fake profile just for the purposes of this thread.

Differing opinion is good because free speech is good. Also don't treat this as a rumour but as an opinion, think for yourself, you have your own mind.

I've said to much, this isn't a secure line.

Over and out.
Obviously not since this is a public forum, lol

Also your speculation of "Bitcoin will crash in 8 hours" wasn't specific to what amount it will crash? Maybe it will crash to 0.01USD downwards? LOL  Grin That's totally ok for me because it will gain 1000 fold afterwards Cheesy

Man, this will rally the market, not crash.

Forget the troll, wtf did Newsnight say?!

Good news... here comes the rocket ship!

Nice nuanced  BBC handling of the subject, precise in the details and a balanced amount of skepticism.

"Being backed by an agreed upon shared algorithm" should have been mentioned unless they by "unbacked by any government" meant no authority committed to stabilizing the price of Bitcoin if it is under threat?
