"to be or not to be, that is the bitcoin"



And besides, it's only a matter of time before we get confirmed news from sources that the governments of the world will imprison anyone who holds bitcoin. Really, I'm just looking out for myself.

? lol ?

confirmed news from sources

^^ best part.

i bet its the btc-e troll box

No way, didn't you hear, it already started! The FBI already imprisoned DPR and about 30 more people that held bitcoin; other countries will soon follow lead Cheesy


yep, I saw those confirmed sources too... very worried about all this... have lost my private key now actually but still...

Is it plausible to say that although blockchain and bitstamp could prove that I have had bitcoins I currently don't have any because I accidentally lost the private keys?

Actually interesting how that would go in court. While with physical cash there always is some recepient (nobody would buy the "I burned it"), but "I lost the PK in hd crash" is quite a possible scenario now. Just present a broken notebook.

Yeah, there's this strange habit of people who are known to have lots of bitcoins, suddenly claiming they donated a bunch and lost a bunch and gave away a bunch and now have far less than they originally had.

Very convenient! Almost as if they worry the IRS is reading their forum posts ;-)

Just say "boating accident."

Thankfully, Adam generously let me off the hook for that one. There was another one, if I recall, that I ended up paying out on, But I'm a little afraid to go digging around.

Then, be honest and send it back to him, the price didn't yet cross the 1000$ on bitstamp/btc-e.

In 2013? Of course it did!

Yes, it definitely did a month or so ago. And, I meant to pay him back then but I just forgot in the shuffle of the holidays and a busy work schedule.  

Seriously guys, please lay off of him about sending it back. He hasn't hassled me about it, he's been patient about it, and I just want him to have it.

Anyone who thinks Proudhon is stupid for keeping his word is a man not trust... or make bets with.

A man is only as good as his word. You should write that down.

Sent OP a PM.  Genuinely forgot about this.  He sent me an address a few months ago, but I need him to confirm that I can still use that one, or give me a new one, before I ship my last bitcoin off.  Once this one is gone I won't have anymore, plus I'm short on margin since it's clear bitcoin is done.

You are a realy good entertainer. Even better than Walsoraj! So if Bitcoin is done, don't worry. You can earn a lot of money with your entertainment-talent.

Remember about half a year ago proudhon trollingly begged for donations, but when he actually got some from amused readers he sent those to the bitcoin foundation...

I have very low regard for the humanity in general, but some people you just know aren't cheap, so it's reassuring to have him prove it yet again.

Now we need to mistakenly send him 1000 BTC to test exactly how far his integrity goes Wink

Probably a bit different with this one since Proudhon had nothing to gain and it was from March.

Yes, there was no "BET" in this case. It was just a promise and Proudhon kept his words.

Which means the guy is right. Keeping your word should be the default. Good to see he did of course, but it says more about most of the rest of humanity that it is taken as unusual.

I was just hodling on to it so that I could give it away when it was obvious they were worthless.

But it's not worthless... it's $800


I don't have time to watch the price all the time.  Sure, it's at ~$800 right now, but that's just an erratic blip on the way down.  I'm just getting out ahead of these things.

Want to make a bet that its higher then $1000 at the end of 2014?  Grin

Hey proudhon, guess you forgot.. so pointing you to the original thread:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/looks-like-we-are-going-to-hit-1000-usd-this-year-157693

In case others are wondering, I speculated in March that 1 BTC will hit 1000 USD before 2013 end. Proudhon said that he'll give me one BTC if it does (and it won't happen)/
Well it did cross 1000 USD in 2013, so I am owed 1 BTC.. would most people agree?

With the recent screwps.. Cyprus, Chase bank, etc. and so many new adopters, it looks like we will cross 1000 this year, a couple of years too soon in my opinion.. And im not complaining Cheesy

I'll give OP a bitcoin if it hits $1000/BTC this year.  Will not happen.



Proudhon, hope you will be as good as your word.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Proudhon was true to his word. (Proudhon, hope you didn't mind my gentle remainder)
