HODL OR DIE
besides lampchop, if you really think that they beat anyone, that they really damaged the darknet movement at all by taking out some ass hat who no one took seriously for the past year.

A guy who loudly beat his chest about "having the best OPSEC in history" whilst posting pics of pigs in San Francisco on his instagram and tweeting about silkroad, who handed the KEYS to his admin panel to an FBI agent, who posted screenshots of his bitcoin balance and cashed out his bitcoins via coinbase in his real name whilst renting the server with his [email protected] email address, then you are retarded.

If you really think the fact they managed to catch him means *anything* at all to the movement as a whole, then you are clueless.

I'm just amazed it took them a whole 12 months.

It's a good thing, at least they're weeding out the amateurs.

Wow incredible to think you would run such a site and be so careless. And to run it from the US too is just comical. Eventually the drug-cartel/gangs will set-up shop and amateur hour will be over. Selling wholesale product at street level prices with limited risk = no brainer.

...

I never claimed that Bitcoiners were particularly bright.  SR1 failed due to DPR's braggadocio and mistakes.  SR2 failed due to more of the same, but lulzier.  Happens in real wars too, you get progressively shittier generals as the good ones get owned.

As far as thinning the heard being a good thing?  Well, at least the wolves have no cause for complaint.  According to the Coindesk article:
Quote
At least 400 dark net web domains have been reported seized and 17 individuals individuals arrested in connection with Operation Onymous, an ongoing global cybercrime crackdown.
So it appears that your asshat friend wasn't the only assclown in teh "darknet movement." [*stifled giggles*]

P.S.  It didn't "take them 12 months."  The lolercoaster was boarded by The Man almost from the get-go, and the server was imaged close to half a year ago.
It was kept it running as a honeypot.

"foreign law enforcement authorities" imaged the Silk Road 2.0 server on May 30—which means the site was allowed to continue to operate for five more months while the FBI, HSI, and partner law enforcement organizations gathered data.[/b]"
That's wise of them to have done that, why should that surprise anyone?

Nah, just people here bragging about still using Agora because its "working just fine."  Unbelievable fail Roll Eyes

Agora has never once been hacked, just like it's sister site bitcoinfog. It's pretty clear they're on another level to Silkroad, got hacked twice, makes public statements taunting the FBI etc etc

Give the politicians their empty win. They won the war on dark markets Grin

2 chartbuddy's in a row is a signal for a new topic.

I propose we talk about the strange way that the Blockchain was built so that block having would occur approximately every four years. Coincidentally roughly matching the election cycle of a certain country.







Every four Bticoin-years is critical?

Strange, yet attractive.


Funny to see pillorying images conforming... BTC prices?
I must admit, that's a first! Cheesy

4h and 15min MACD suggest a dump is coming. It may however just test short term support.

330-ish is in cards

Yes many people bought around $1 or so back in 2010-2011 and they probably missed the boat to sell at $1000 and are holding thinking it goes up to $10000.

If he only had 1 BTC why sell

I think at this point many of the people who bought at 800+ have really pissed off families and would be happy to sell as soon as it hits whatever they bought in at, perhaps a bit less, just to get them off their backs.
