Bitcoin Isn’t Eliminating Intermediaries, They SaidOr how banksters waste your money to 'research' shit any child could have told them for free.A new Deutsche Bank Research report suggests the bitcoin network is in some ways failing to live up to its original vision.
"The original idea of bitcoin – to create a peer-to-peer scheme that is independent of intermediaries and central agents – is to some degree being overhauled by real life. The bitcoin ecosystem now includes a number of financial intermediaries, like wallet providers and exchanges, and these show a trend towards concentration."

"We need to do serious fundraising ... Revenue is key, we can't do much more to cut expenses."

Pierce tried to rally his board, underlining the seriousness of the foundation's financial problems:
"We are the Foundation, we have no resources, this is us, if you don’t like the foundation as it stands, you don’t like yourself ... each board member should be prepared to do the work themselves, to keep the Foundation going." BITCOIN FOUNDATION CHIEFS BOARD OF DIRECTORS:Gavin Andresen

Bitcoin Businessman Nabbed in ThailandFrom our burgeoning 'Let's get sushi... and not pay!' department.  | Stealthy Canadian and pillar of the Bitcoin business community Variety Jones, A.K.A. Roger Thomas Clark, arrested in Thailand.
Thailand is a country on Southeast Asia’s Indochina peninsula known for tropical beaches, opulent royal palaces, ancient ruins and ornate temples displaying figures of Buddha, a revered symbol. In Bangkok, the capital, an ultramodern cityscape rises next to quiet canal and riverside communities. Commercial hubs such as Chinatown consist of labyrinthine alleys crammed with shophouses, markets and diners.

This is actually some what good for Ross. And probably somewhat good for bitcoin.

Good News, Everyone!From our burgeoning 'Let's get sushi... and not pay!' department. The GAW scam is 100% a bitcoin thing, in the sense that about ever last sucker comes from this community. Bitcoiners are the most scammable people out there, except perhaps the ones responding to Nigerian prince spam. But not by much. It is actually good news for bitcoin if all those scammers are removed from the bitcoin world. There are too many scams out there.

Money Launderer Sues Real Company in Kenyan High Court.Safaricom takes its toys and goes home; BitPesa cries like a little girl, runs to Nanny State to make it all better. | Elizabeth Rossiello, CEO and co-founder of BitPesa, said in a statement to CoinDesk:
"I do not wish to comment much on a matter in court. BitPesa has been wronged, which is why we have referred the matter to court. I am deeply disappointed that the media continues to publish incorrect information that diverts from the evidence submitted to the court, but we will let the court determine the matter. We remain confident that even a small company like BitPesa will gain a fair trial and look forward to the court's decision." |

Terrorists using bitcoin as money means bitcoin is useful as money. Is that meant to be bearish for bitcoin which is a form of money. Or am I missing the point? To me that is bullish.
(And I'm not condoning how it was used before anyone tries that card)
Well see, you don't quite get how this world works. Sure, drug dealers using bitcoin as money gives bitcoin a temporary boost, as does its use by kidnappers and extortionists and pedophiles. Caveat: the boost is temporary, like a snort of shitty crank bought on DNM. All this monetary hooliganism doesn't win bitcoin any friends. No. It provokes righteous anger from the powers that be, the same powers-that-be which bitcoiners have been taunting from the git-go, like aspy little purse dogs yapping at a sleeping mastiff. Is it any wonder that mainstream media shows you no love? Retarded outbursts like "terrorists use our tokens? This is actually good for bitcoin!" That's why I won't shed a tear when your pedo-pesos are banned in EU, and why I'll smile while thinking about bitcoiners getting assraped reeducated by big burly zeks with deceptively sweet names, like Sereja and Volerachka. For four years. Flat time. In Siberian gulags, where y'all belong.  Interesting and eloquent, thanks for sharing

Exactly.
Not sure why noob Darkbot hasn't been banned yet. I don't report posts as a matter of principle, but this user has never contributed anything other than rage.
