I read something about a vast Russian MMM ponzi currently operating in South Africa buying up Bitcoins. Any news?

Bobby Lee, CEO of Chinese exchange BTCC, told CoinDesk his platform has seen a significant volume increase, though he dismissed much of his competitors' volume as "artificial".

Those behind the volume, he said, are not traders but consumers sucked into a Russian ponzi scheme, MMM.

"We have posted warnings on our site and on our social media to warn users to be careful, but they have been coming to our exchange and buying out like crazy," he said, adding:

"This time it's not speculative trading but based on them getting sucked into this ecosystem."

"South Africa" must include a many of the poorest and least educated people there.

Ah, bitcoin -- bringing First World financial ruin to the unbanked in the Third World...

May you all go broke, and burn in hell...

How often do they adjust your salary?

serious question

It's a scammer scamming people. The fact he uses bitcoin is sort of beyond the point. In fact, it makes the victims bitcoiners, which should please you since you feel the should "all go broke, and burn in hell...".

If you want to throw a hissy fit you can have a look at this: http://www.forbes.com/sites/kenrapoza/2015/03/27/the-end-of-brazilian-growth/

"Corruption scandals are now as popular a news story in Brazil as Zayne Malik leaving One Direction. There is a new corruption scandal or arrest due to a corruption case almost every week. The latest one involves the tax appeals board, which will further stifle investment and sentiment."

The ticker I'm looking at isn't even close to $273.. I'm getting ~$269 or so. Is that what everyone else has? I'm always confused as to which site is the best to gauge the actual price for bitcoin.

The price of BTC is what you are willing to pay for it...

Or sell it for.

We have smashed through every resistance point so far with this rally. Next ones being at $283, $294, & $305. If we get above $305, things could get exciting.
