t bitcoin changed his life for him personally, he can never go back to the point where he started off.

Ah. Thank you for clarifying. I'm just a little dense sometimes.

Whatever else eventually comes from bitcoin, it certainly has already created some really new and interesting experiences for a great many people, and stimulated alot of thought and creativity.

But with regards to Bitcoin things will never go back to normal for you.

Not entirely true. Worst case he/she can always burn the knightmb identity. Even Satoshi is/are probably still hanging around here somewhere.

Haven't you read his last post here ? He donated a lot of them to wikileak and he's still active on the new currency TimeCoin.

No he didnt. Thats the wikileaks BTC donation address: http://blockchain.info/address/1HB5XMLmzFVj8ALj6mfBsbifRoD4miY36v
Total received: 3400 BTC to date

Now that bitcoin changed his life for him personally, he can never go back to the point where he started off. Even if he gave everything away and changed his identity, he would still keep a galore of memories and went through so many life changing events due to bitcoin, he would never be the same person again. Also, his outside world is different now (unless he kept it a complete secret from everyone except this community and still lives in his Mom's basement;).
To say it with Peter Parker's words: "With great power comes great responsibility."

It is 'an' address, not 'the' address.

Yes I did. I don't understand your point. I was talking about options, not suggesting knightmb not participate however he/she chooses.

Why 3 replies in a row, Stardust? Couldn't you just edit you 1st reply and include everything?
You can still do it now and remove the 2 other (now) useless replies

Pick one of those 2: People get confused to whom it's addressed if I reply all in one post, or I am lazy.

Then, why not multi-quote and insert each reply after each quote?
A forum is not a chatroom.
Also, I think everybody undertsands if you address each person you wish to reply to with an @someone
But, whatever, do as you wish.

Just curious knightmb, to quiet all the naysayers, can you point us to the transaction of the donation to wikileaks?

oh come on, are you serious? Cut him some slack. This guy is in no position to have to prove anything. Believe what you want and give him the benefit of the doubt so he can play a "normal" part in this community again.

@ knightmb:

As much as I wish you to pursue happiness in your own chosen way, playing the "normal" part in this community is over.
With all your money and background comes a lot of power and responsibility. You can step up to it, take it in your own hands and build something meaningful, or abandon the chances destiny gave you. Its your choice. But with regards to Bitcoin things will never go back to normal for you.

Depends what normal was .... sleeping under an Interstate flyover and cradling a bottle of cheap red to sleep is normal for some folks ... before (and after?) bitcoin.

They also hand out addresses on request if you join IRC and talk to the bot.

Oh ok.

Either way, I'm keeping my BTC in several secure places and the wallet files I'll make sure never touch my PC for security reasons. I look at it as a retirement fund, when I finally get tired of working the 9 to 5 grind, I can tell my boss to shove it with a smile Grin

"Just kidding; I donated it all to Wikileaks" isn't going to hold, although I do see why you would want to get all that heat off your back.

Yeah, I find it very hard to believe that he gave up that much money.

Wikileaks seems to have received ~2989 BTC from 994 transactions to their current address.

Exactly ! This story is BS and this guy is just waiting to cash out when we reach $10 in Dec.

Hope I do it before him, though !

Like he said before, it's his retirement funding. He's too smart to sell it for a measly $10 in crappy fiat this year.

Retirement funding ?

371 000 * 10 = 3 710 000 USD would suit 3 retirements for a normal human lifetime ! Is this guy a shapeshifting alien that is going to live 300 years ?
