I've had three friends pull their money out and walk away from bit coin over the past few days.
Well done market makers / manipulators!

SilkRoad 2 guy arrested in Ireland. FBI got another 200k EUR worth of bitcoins.
FBI has no jurisdiction to seize coins in Ireland. Any link with specific details of the seizure please please please...?
Coins are on the interwebs not in Ireland. Jurisdiction is irrelevant.

Never go ALL IN/OUT in a single trade. If you are tempting take 2-5% of your stash and make bet. :-) ... you will see. Only gambler goes ALL IN/OUT and sooner or later will lose all in a single bet.
It is always gambling, no matter if full Fiat, full BTC or you split.
Trading is a little more complicated than only gambling. (You can win if you are good enough)
I think if it more like poker rather then a generic casino table game.
Indeed. Good players will out-perform noobs 9 out of 10 times.
Same goes for traders.

FBI actually does what ever the hell they please, anything they cant do public they have mercenary agents for...
The article says that the guy was arrested by Garda Siochana, which is the Irish police.
So unless the Irish police are dumb (which is also a possibility), the coins stay with an Irish court.
Otherwise I foresee an interesting diplomatic issue arising very very soon.
If he is American citizen, or had servers etc. in USA, it's probably USA who asked for his arrest, led the investigation etc, etc.. Irish just got him on their soil probably.
But anyway, not important who got the coins, FBI or IBI

Interesting statement from a few days ago
Quote
The Revenue Commissioners are "actively" monitoring the use of bitcoin in an effort to catch tax cheats.
Minister for Finance Michael Noonan says the use of bitcoin instead of traditional cash does not pose much of a tax risk, because people will still pay VAT when paying for goods and services.
The online currency has become popular among money launderers as a way to move money around the globe without being taxed.
But Minister Noonan says that the threat to the Exchequer is low because anyone who is likely to use bitcoin to skip taxes is probably already acting illegally anyway.
It is the first time that the Government here has discussed the risks posed by the use of the so-called "crypto-currency".

Btw - an Irish friend of mine in chat just called Noonan "a twat" and pointed me to this: http://www.irishtimes.com/news/politics/three-key-truths-about-the-bailout-which-we-are-only-learning-now-1.1629738

Hopefully people reading the silkroad article and any other such news will remember the above and realize bitcoins themselves aren't bad.

Great vid Voodah,
Thanks!
TD of that video production has a thing for the geek girls
Good luck finding non-geek girls in a Bitcoin conference... (except Vorhees' but who knows? maybe she is a geek too?)
Are you calling Erik Voorhees a girl. lol
Haha no !
There's an apostrophe: "except Vorhees' (girl) but who knows?"
Maybe you're not a native English speaker, but when there's already an "s" in the end of the word, the apostrophe goes after: Vorhees' car/house/girl..

You mean memes with homophobic slurs so we look like a bunch of narrow minded biggots? Or am I missing something. You should be ashamed.

How would that justify disrespectful name-calling, though?
Make your own forum, then. No reason to steal/use someone else's.
I had a straight friend in high school who was beat up for being "gay." He suffered permanent brain damage.
Even if you accept the idea that God didn't create man to be gay, how would two wrongs make a right? Why be disrespectful and abusive to the person that your god created?

Oh wow. Really? Do I really have to read this load of shit in Bitcointalk?
Just yesterday I said I did not want to Ignore anyone. I guess you're my first.
If you don't have 10-100+ people on your ignore list on Bitcointalk, you're not doing it right.
Ignoring= whatever. Censor= government
December 20, 2013, 02:36:28 PM
Who censors these days... oh yeah the government... BTC talk is so revolutionary,
