Haha, this is not how I want Bitcoin to go mainstream but yea, it counts. The whole situation here is pretty messy and I am sure, the judge is asking Daniel to repay the amount in dollars and not Bitcoin? Let me know If I am wrong. Also, I don't have any idea how Satoshi is being dragged into this conversation. It's just another scam case and this time, it was Bitcoin. Nothing extraordinary though.
Yeah this is not pretty exciting news for me, at least not to mentioned mainstream recognition, bitcoin have been in athe court room for a while now and each time, it all for the bad news, that is bitcoin being caught up as a tool by bad actors, just like in this case that bitcoin is being used for ponzi.This is not how I want bitcoin to be recognised, because with this, there is nothing different from what the government have being claiming that bitcoin is a dark Web money movement tool.
