I will have to read some more, cos it's hard to know which is the sadder story. The one of Neucoin or the one of Factom.

The scammers from Neucoin managed to sell $1M worth of coins with nothing but the promise that the project will be launched in August or September or some shit. So no source code, no blockchain, no nothing. Only a great marketing plan.

It says

Over 4M Factoids sold for 2200 BTC. A massive THANK YOU to all @factomproject supporters. #bitcoin #fintech #startup

What on earth are Factoids, and don't tell me people have brought into another IPO? Can we expect those 2200 BTC to be dumped? Haven't the devs at least agreed to hold the IPO money for a while?
Yes it's another IPO.

The guys at Factom thought it was a good idea to create a pump&dump shitcoin called "factoid" and make a crowdsale out of it.

People bought 2200 BTC worth of the stuff.


It's likely those BTC are gonna be dumped, at least that's what the Ethereum devs did with their pre-sale few months back:

https://blockchain.info/charts/balance?address=36PrZ1KHYMpqSyAQXSG8VwbUiq2EogxLo2

I remember a document from them saying something like "we will proceed to hedge against bitcoin's volatility (AKA dump)" or something like that. Can't find it tho.


Damn, I remember how the Ethereum IPO Bitcoins were managed. Every so often they would do a huge dump, and Bitcoin's price would crash. They often seemed to pick the worst possible time to dump from both their own point of view, and Bitcoin holders points of view.

When the news of Bitstamp's hack got out and the price had already crashed the Ethereum team decided it was a great time to do a huge dump for really low prices. Right after that we went down to $150.

Make Bitcoin glow with ENIAC

I have been buying and selling bitcoin for 4 years now. Never with any real thought. Just in that I believed it would always go up.


You've been at it since 2011? Did you hold some from back then or sell on the way up? Most people expect those who were around then to be rolling in it by now but life is rarely that straightforward.
Not sure the exact dates I got in bitcoin.
Some of what I say below may be mixed up in time.
I bought in at ~3-4$ and sold at ~30$ which was a big deal back then. That was the first huge raise in price like that. Then I bought in again around 7$ and sold at ~14$. Bought in again at 10$ and left to take care of some personal things for a while.
Not sure if this was before the ATH or after because my memory is not the best. Sold at ~200 something. Then it crashed to 40$. I bought back at 50$ and held. Sold that at ~300$.
With the ATH I had been holding a ton of coin and sold at like 900 something after missing the peak and watching it dropping.

I trusted a few people with money and lost out. I took my profits and made some large investments which bled money. I put a majority of my profits into a venture purchasing gift cards from a supplier. Turned out the supplier was fraudulent which caused me to loose 99% of my money and have to sell off my investments to make back a few bucks.
Lost from tens of thousands in gift cards that all had the balances drained at once. Lost from this happening right after I had sent the person a large sum and the supplier did a runner. Lost from the sites I sold the cards on charging me for all the gift cards I had sold in the prior months because they were canceled.

Always moving forward. I seem to have developed a very self destructive pattern since being thrown into a depression after that all happened.
Which I thought I had fixed, but the 5000$ roulette loss is proof the issues still linger.

When the coin shoots back up and I am wealthy once again I will be much smarter with everything.
The fact I am profiting now playing with leverage proves something

Hmmmm..... I have a business proposition for you.
Does it require a large investment up front?
IM IN!!!

very nice read...

But thousands of the world's most creative programmers and technologists recognise the possibilities that it presents. In time, we are going to see the emergence of Bitcoin Googles, Bitcoin Facebooks, Bitcoin Alibabas -- massively valuable companies for which no contemporary analogues exist -- built on the platform's foundations of decentralised trust and programmable money. And there's a very good chance it will happen faster and less predictably than anyone currently imagines.






probably have to wait another year and helf. obama is being a little bit to greedy in his money grabs. companies now must face the threat of being hit with massive $700M fines if they forget to notify the govy that homeboy went to the restroom before he bought his bitcoins.

You've definitely made some impressive moves. I don't think my history would've been anywhere near as well timed as that had I been around at the time.
