This fact really amaze that the price of some token also depends to the person, It shows that Vitalik is a powerful man.

Yeas, Vitalik himself is a little bit centralized Smiley



There are some threads to sell merit points that can be seen in the sale.Thus merit purchase is not right.Because those who give Merit Power only should only rank them with Merit.And if someone buys Merit and increases its position, then they will not be able to help small members in any way.Even Bitcoin will not be able to post anything positive.And those who get Merit because of knowledge , they will always be able to do everything.So buying merit point should stop selling.

I want all the senior members' opinions about this
Please forgive me if I'm wrong

Too bad that I am not a senior member, so I cannot express my opinion about this.

So this is the original content? Didn't expected that someone just revise it in our local;
btw, already saw it in our language version, it's very interesting that there are some good facts we didn't know.

gonna put some add-on;

"On June 25th, 2017, There was a fake news that Vitalik is dead and the price of Ethereum reduced Immediately."

This fact really amaze that the price of some token also depends to the person, It shows that Vitalik is a powerful man.

People still send their bitcoins to that address, as a sign of respect, but no one can access it, not even Satoshi, so they are forever lost. Initially, there were 50 coins, but people sent another 16.84 in 1264 transactions, now there are 66.84 coins.
Actually, only the block reward is unspendable in the genesis block address. The funds that have subsequently been sent to that address can be spent by Satoshi, assuming he has the associated private key.



Thanks, I will correct that Smiley

How many Bitcoins do Satoshi Nakamoto have?
It is often possible to hear that Satoshi has 1 million bitcoins, but is it so?

The fact is that there is not one address on which there would be 1 million. It is only known that most of the first 36,000 blocks were found using a single computer, which could only belong to Satoshi, the reward for the block was 50 coins at that time, for each block reward a new address was created with 50 coins, 63% percent of these addresses are untouched up to now, which suggests that they are all belong to Satoshi, and this is 1,148,800 bitcoins.

If we calculate their value for today, it turns out that Satoshi has $ 6.8 billion in bitcoin, $ 0.76 billion in Bitcoin Cash, and insignificant sums in all other forks.

In theory, Satoshi can safely transfer a bit of bitcoins, to pay his bills for the Internet for example, and remain unnoticed, or rather we will not know exactly that it was his addresses.

Here is the address of the very first block (Genesis block):

1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa

People still send bitcoins to that address, as a sign of respect, initially there were 50 coins, but people sent another 16.84 in 1264 transactions, now there are 66.84 coins.

Interesting fact is that the block reward is unspendable in the genesis block address, but the funds that have subsequently been sent to that address can be spent by Satoshi, assuming he has the associated private key.


Also in this block there is an encrypted message from the creator of bitcoin:


Quote
"The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks".


Probably, Satoshi showed in that way that he is ironic about the banking sector.

Added a post about Satoshi ‘s Bitcoins.

Super fucking interesting.
So this guy is now in prison and once he leaves he will get access to his 300k+ btc.

But how about that last post?

I believe is original fortune is gone. Why else for a $1 million bitcoin extortion plot ?

http://www.opn.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf/17a0105p-06.pdf

No. 16-6291 United States v. Brown

The court of appeal opinion is hilarious.

It starts off...

Quote
SUTTON, Circuit Judge. When criminal-law cases imitate art, they do not always
choose its highest form. In Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, Dr. Evil develops a
plan to steal a nuclear warhead and to hold the world hostage for $1 million. This was not, Dr.
Evil’s deputy pointed out, all that much money for a 1990s global criminal enterprise. But it was
enough for an anonymous extortionist in today’s case, who apparently was familiar with the
movie and who chose some features of it as signatures of his 2012 crime. Assuming the nom de
guerre “Dr. Evil,” the individual demanded $1 million in Bitcoin in exchange for an encryption
key to Mitt Romney’s unreleased tax returns.
This case is a classic !


Either Dr Evil sent three USED flash drives with the evidence of the crime, his wifes name, a username he has used for years and photos of his cats to the media.....

or Austin Powers got "framed".

Anyway this thread explains why those forum titles which change according to the number of posts one has got are complete rubbish.
I've seen so many sig whores with the "legendary" tag under their name. They can't even write in English and their posts are just unintersting copypasta or low level shilling. Nothing fucking legendary about them.

On the other hand, even in this list of real legends there's users tagged as newbs which is laughable.

Bitcointalk should get rid of those idiot tags altogerher.

You might want to research user knightmb

I am a fan of this kind of things, something like Trivia of anything,

I would like to translate this (and maybe modified a little) to Indonesian, and post it to Indonesian local forum if you don't mind. Of course, I will put link to this thread as reference.

Interesting thread! you should add Adam Beck and Roger Ver profiles.

Thanks, I will read about them. I try to add here something that I was impressed by. I heard that Roger Ver kept his 300 000 bitcoins since 2011, I think he is the one who really believe's in crypto:)

The story of how Kevin bought 259,684 BTC for $ 2,613 (worth $ 5 million at that time)

It is known that Mt. Gox exchange was hacked, almost all bitcoins were stolen, and the consequences of this are haunting us all till now, but here is one of the stories about what was happening on this exchange before the main hack:




The forum has a thread with the title “I'm Kevin, here's my side”.  In which the user toasty tells how once he saw that gigantic sell order was burning through the bids at exchange, the price dropped from 17.5$ dollars to 10$, Mt. Gox processed orders slowly, it all lasted a minutes, there were many orders to buy bitcoin for $ 0.01, so he placed his order for $ 0.0101, the exchange was heavily lagging, but with some effort, he managed to place that order, then The site stopped responding completely, when he got back in, he saw this message:

Code:
06/19/11 17:51  Bought BTC  259 684.77 for 0.0101

He realized that these bitcoins were most likely from hacking and wanted to behave as honestly as possible, especially since on the eve he sent his id documents for passing verification. There was a limit for withdrawal, but there was a bug that allowed you to withdraw $ 1000 many times in a day, he could also sell a huge number of bitcoins, lower the price again to 0.01 cents, and withdraw all bitcoins fitting in the daily limit, but he did not do it, he only withdraw 643 bitcoins. He hoped until the end that he would be let to keep these BTC, but there where decision to roll back all transactions, and Kevin gained only 643 BTC.


Added a story about Mt. Gox and buying 259,684 BTC for $ 2,613.
