Topic: My bank account's got robbed by European Commission. Over 700k is lost. - page 39. (Read 408494 times)

Were you just waiting for someone to post the word 'hindsight' so you could use that pic?

Otherwise I can't see any sense in your post 

Correct. In fact this can only be another mission executed....

Even with hindsight, why is that clearly what he should have done?

Do you currently own a home that's worth more than $100K? Are you going to move to a smaller one in case the government decides to put a 50% tax on your house to pay for the budget deficit next month?

My words bro, my words

Well, this sucks. But in the long run positive for bitcoin. Got to see the good in everything.. right?

What do after you hang the banksters? Oh come on. You just take all their (huge) property and pay some of the debt. You sell the bank and all it's property and pay some of the debt. The rest is just dead asset. But you don't touch client's money.

As for states, you sell all the regime's property to pay regimes debt. It should usually be enough to also pay pensions (and other obligations) for some time in advance. Than, the *state* just ends

Send him a bank transfer from money that you immediately bought for Bitcoin, his bank account will immediately get frozen.

Unfortunately, i couldn't pay with cash, money order, paypal or gift cards $150K to my contractor. The only option is bank transfer.

1. Own a buisiness
2. Give people payment invoices where they have to pay in a mixture of cash, check, money order, Paypal, and Home Depot gift cards (in Europe)
3. They can never take all of your funds because each of those things are safe for small amounts.

That's clearly what he should have done.

Of course you're a troll, otherwise you wouldn't have posted this.

On the very unlikely chance you're not a troll and just didn't bother to read the thread, the person concerned employs Cypriots.

You might not run a business but when you do, you need to have a bank account. It needs to exist somewhere so why not Cyprus?

Why wouldn't he have it all in one account? Why would he have it in multiple accounts? When you pay your electric bill, do you pay into one account or do you pay into several different accounts for different invoices at different times?

If you had all your assets seized by the government, can I find a homeless person that's less well off than you to scoff at you?

"He had it coming. Why did he use the banking system? How did he not see the government would change the law overnight? Being a criminal has it's flaws."

How much is that compared to the US?

100 to just buy citizenship? You don't have to do anything else? Or is that just the cost of a house there?

It's a solution for the problem of having good money that can be transacted directly through the internet. Brilliant shit that exists now.

But still we need to sneak out the bad money somehow without hurting the patient. In medicine a drug is "snuk out" by slowly reducing the dose being administered.

We need a solution for the transition.

Isn't BTC supposed to be the solution?

Now hold on a second...

I'm all with you on most of what you say because I'm one of the nut-jobs here that advocate the state should stay out of the economy and be separated from money.

Also I don't say OP acted wrongly or carelessly by putting his money into a bank account. I can only imagine the pain of losing such amount and I'm not saying it's his own fault or anything like that.

But please consider what actually happened here: He invested his money in the bank (under false pretense that it would be safely "stored" there, which is not the case as we know now, in hindsight). The bank fucked up (gambled with the money and lost it).

Now what can be done is 2 options: bail-in (OP pays for the loss) or bail-out (tax-payer of Europe pay for the loss).

Actually it's hard for me to take sides here. Honestly, I'd probably have to say I'm with Max Keiser: hang the banksters! However after we chop their heads off: what then? The situation is fucking unbearable. Noone has a solution to offer. There's lots of hindsight, of course and everyone is pointing fingers and stating how things should've been done in the first place. Well guess what: it's too late now and it doesn't matter who's at fault.

All (fiat) money will vanish because everyone will default in a huge chain reaction. The great credit contraction.

Bitcoin does attract a lot of nutjobs, so you might not fit in here. But your pathetic attempt at justifying theft was not appreciated. We do use electricity provided by our government, but we did not ask for them to setup an electric company that costs $0.40/kWh and we could create our own electric company that is much better, but the government does not allow this.


You are just saying "Well you should have taken all the money out of your bank and bought BTC, idiot" yet you did not forsee this thread coming months in advance did you? You basically just said "BTC just dropped from $100 to $80, you should have sold, idiot". I can't imagine what zeroday had to go through after his money was gone, I've never in my life had almost everything I own taken away from me, nobody else taken in seriously, and then everyone else thinks nothing is wrong and calls you the idiot.

The people making excuses here really prove a social pattern I have observed. How extremely clear-cut does a situation have to be for people to stop taking sides. In the Zimmerman case people still took sides, even though there were little arguments for the "bad" side. Then you can come up with something almost universally agreed upon such as this video, people still blame the guy because he "shouldn't have asked for that pack of cigarettes". Then in this thread the Cyrus officials reach into zeroday's pockets, grab his money, and run away with it. Now that is a very clear-cut situation and you can figure out who is the robber and who is being robber, yet there are still people taking different sides here?

I'm the troll? Sorry, but go around in public claiming that "the regime" makes you pay "thefts". The average person is going to think that you're crazy. Also explain why the richest people in the world all invest instead of having tons of liquid cash.

You should also answer my question: Do you use utilities paid for by taxes and if so why is it fair that someone else (like me) should pay for you?

I am not feeding the troll.

You do realize that you can't use all of the money in your bank account right? A lot of it does not exist, hence transaction limits. If you put all of your money in cash you are essentially throwing a lot of it away. This is why Gates, Slim, Ortega, etc all invest. And also, why would getting the money from your insurance company take longer than actually paying it?


So you claim taxes are a "theft', but I bet all the money in the world that you use the utilities provided for by taxes. How is that fair, and why should I feel sympathy for someone that avoids taxes? True, OP did choose the more "competitive" business option, but that does not make it any less immoral. And obviously, his business did not end up on top as he lost all of the money.

Man you are „clever as radio“ as we say here. Ever heard about immediatelly usable reserve which every business should have for cases of dealing with some sudden problems? Like your office gets robbed. OK, you have assurace, but that's gonna take weeks at least to get moeny from that. You have to buy new equipment yesterday and keep going… There is not many other possibilities than cash you can have for that.


Be my guest. But don't force me to do that, ai?

Most people running business want nothing from the regime but t be left alone. Why the hell they should care about some theft taxes? What for, so that the regime is making obstacles for the business? Come on, running business is more about going through fascistic regulations, burreaucracy and other regime things which only complicate it, than about actually trying to offer better stuff than competition lately.
