Bruno, you never cease to amaze. It's too bad you didn't spend as much time in the last 5 years trying to earn bitcoins as you spent chasing scammers, fucking around with Matthew Wright's pet causes, and working for free with Bitcoin100. You'd be able to buy two castles and have a fortune left over.
IIRC Bruno "lost" like 1k coins to davout's French Bitcoin "bank", and he didn't seem all that pissed off about it (could just be that emotions weren't conveyed well in text), so I always assumed he was a Bitcoin baller who has so many coins he can afford to be eccentric. Maybe I'm wrong? LOL.
Yeah, I knew about the Davout scam but I heard it was like 1,600 btc. I think he's like me since we came to this forum at about the same time. I only ever collected up about 2,200 btc. He must have nearly lost it all. He's just more generous than I am. He was matching donations and covering the pledges of others with Bitcoin100. I lost money too (Bitcoinica, CryptoXchange, Tradehill, bla bla) but I got lucky on a fast price bubble run up and pop which made most of my btc back for me in a couple days. I see Bitcoin differently now. It's a cool idea that probably won't make it because it keeps getting fucked up by the human element (from devs to businesses to users and everything in between). I'll hang around until it reaches somewhere from $900-$1,000 then cash out and play with a new investment for a while. I'm getting really interested in the new legal marijuana businesses. They're making a fortune and selling shares now. If another state legalizes marijuana I'm going to fund a retail store there and watch the cash pour in. LOL
