Topic: Bitcoin CEO arrested and Blockchain hacked - page 2. (Read 2907 times)
Thanks OP, the thread title gave me a chuckle. It is unfortunate that so many people actually think things are that way, or could be. It is hard to explain decentralization and blockchain technology with people outside of community.
Haha, this is a nice joke 
. Don't believe this, because blockchain hasn't hacked by someone until today. The problem i'm afraid of is blockchain error like last time we saw it.

This is like sixth time that the CEO of Bitcoin got arrested in the last year or so!
This just shows how ordinary people don't have a clue of what Bitcoin is and how it works. I mean for God's sake, go to wikipedia, spend 15 minutes of reading and you will figure it out that Bitcoin doesn't have a freaking CEO.
Haha.
If this was tongue-in-cheek it worked. Sure drew out some loons
If not, I feel sorry for you. Lol.

this will be blown up to make btc look like a joke.
I think with the news that IBM is working on blockchain tech, you will see more and more attacks on btc, so as to make the new competing tech look even better and more secure (which it probably will be).

people are so stupid that they can actually believe something like this, especially if they know nothing about bitcoin, like many other are advocating, that it isn't important to know about bitcoin, yeah sure, then you get a bunch of retarded people, that will believe everything that is said
the propagation of informations are so easy nowadays that it work as a double-edged sword

I have been working on my Neighbor for quite some time now, to get into Bitcoin. He started to see the concept and he also saw the opportunities and the potential.
Then this arrest made headlines in the media again, and he came running to me, saying ..." Bitcoin is a huge scam... The CEO was just arrested. "
It took me a hour, to explain to him, who Mark was and how he fits into the great scheme of things. I also explained to him, what influence the MtGox fiasco had, on the current regulation of exchanges.
These scandals and misinformation from the media, are hurting Bitcoin so much more than what we might be thinking. If MtGox was prevented, we would have been in a much better place now.
I hate regulation of these exchanges, but I can see why some countries and some people need them. Consumer protection is a huge concern out there.

Where can I apply for the Bitcoin CEO job when the blockchain got hacked? I am confused now....
Wow our CEO got arrested!!!
We need to do something. How can we watch bitcoin's CEO getting jailed?

The subject of this topic doesn't make sense...have you ever heard of a "Dollar CEO" or a "Euro CEO" or a "Yuan CEO"?
If only the people that need to learn this could be here reading it...

AFAIK, this account was hacked after BitcoinTalk DB was stolen. Check the trust left by TomatoCage.

Alt of hacked account Mt.Gox Support. Be wary about doing business with this user as it may not be under the control of the original owner.
I had forgotten about that. Now I remember all the posts by Mt.Gox Support immediately after the forum re-opened. He must have used a very weak password for that account, and probably the MagicalTux account too. If MagicalTux shows any activity from now on it's definitely been hacked.
Another possibility could be that his former accounts were turned over to the Japanese authorities for investigative purposes?

Who the hell is the Bitcoin CEO and what blockchain in particular? Blockchain.info or the block chain ledger?
I think OP was just trying to be ironic...
Well, he has 307 activity on a Sr Member account, I would hope that he doesn't think Bitcoin has an actual CEO at this point. I think some people here still think Satoshi is the CEO of Bitcoin or something along the lines.
I sure hope he doesn't think like that haha
He was just referring that when this reaches mainstream media they're going to make a fuss and write terrible things...As for Mark's account, I probably bet it is really him in control. He doesn't really care... He doesn't mind being seen online.

If it had one I would expect a Bitcoin CEO to have a legendary account here. Mark Karples was only a senior member. Surprisingly though his MagicalTux account here was last active on July 30, 2015 which is quite close to the time of his arrest. I can't think why he logged in unless he wanted to check his emails. He could have browsed the forum without anyone knowing if he didn't log in.
