You lead and I'll watch you walk away.
This is not good or bad news.
....

They have a session on usage of virtual currencies for illicit activities presented by an ex CIA and FBI run special forces type branch of the worlds biggest news source followed by a presentation of specific examples of those illicit activities by an ex CIA and FBI run, US government funded organization of child trafficking and extortion that's exempt from reporting its accounts and has a reputation for fudging its statistics. How exactly is this not bad news?

It's bad news for the English Commonwealth and the Crowns former colonies maybe. The rest of the world I'm sure couldn't give a shit.

Most of the world follows the herd and does what its told and one of the few things that gets it worked up is child abuse. If the honeypot sites on TOR have borne fruit and given routers a "Bitcoin equals child abuse" headline to pump to the media outlets then the world will give a shit overnight. Why would a world banking presentation be sponsored by the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children? I doubt it's to let parents know they can use the blockchain to keep track of how juniors spending his pocket money online.

Again, that's a western mentality. Ever been to Thailand, Vietnam or Russia? I do agree the sponsor is highly suspect but don't see it's reach being as broad as you do.

Ok... so I received this letter today... the letter says it's from Bitinnovate but I took it as being from the Elite behind the curtain, if through a somewhat distorted channel.


"We are working to get this service up again as soon as possible. We hope to have an update to our current announcement early next week. https://www.bitinnovate.com/sell-bitcoin-currently-closed/

Apologies that we cant give you more information at the moment. Once our audit is complete we will be in a better position to provide more information regarding this.

Thanks for taking the time to let us know how this has effected you and your ability to use our service. This feedback is much appreciated.


Cheers,"


Ok... so I received this letter... who is it that has stopped this service? Why the auditors of course, who else. Well thanks for nothing Fiat money.

If you ask the question "what is money" you will find the answer... but not from the crooked and the deceitful who comprise the Hegelian dialectic that is plaguing our money

If I can't buy Fiat money with it, I'll buy gold.

the current gold price is not in US dollars, and when we see it rise in terms of BTC the we will truly be free

A discussion by them on Bitcoin was inevitable at some point, so this shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. You won't disrupt the world of finance without anyone noticing.

As another pointed out, the fact that the word "opportunities" was used gives me hope for at least a semi-unbiased discussion which more than enough for Bitcoin to shine.

Hopefully they will recognize that a decentralized currency is an inevitably and not just try to keep the lid on it for as long as possible (not long)

the main questions to ask.

in the last 4 years how many guns have been bought in african countries using FIAT/GOLD. now how many have been bought using bitcoin.

with silkroad only doing 20mill of transactions in a whole year. yet statistics shows the whole economy does atleast 27mill dollars of transactions PER DAY with a maximum point of 72mill dollars transacted in just one DAY April 15th. does this really show bitcoin as being a illegal activity currency with only 0.25% known crime rate

"As of May 7th, 2013, 4 PM EST, a total of 11.1 million bit coins had been issued and were valued at USD 107 each. On May 7th, 2013 there were a total of 56,065 transactions using BitCoin and the market cap of entities associated with BitCoin was USD 1.2 billion.

Virtual Currencies have also spawned an ecosystem to facilitate its use for commerce – (i) there are payment processors that facilitate the acceptance of these; (ii) exchanges which facilitate trading other real-world currencies for virtual currencies and also perhaps in future trading various virtual currencies as well; (iii) digital wallet providers which facilitate holding of virtual currencies safely and using them for payment transactions; (iv) ATMs which allow withdrawal in real-world currency in cash by exchanging virtual currency units; and, (v) dedicated websites related to tracking trends in virtual currency and also as an online directory.

These schemes needless to say create a number of concerns for regulators and law enforcement authorities. Firstly, they circumvent the authority of the central banks and monetary authorities to control money supply and could hence potentially impact financial stability. Secondly, these pose concerns related to money laundering and financing of terrorism because of their anonymity and easy use for cross-border transactions. These however could also be an extremely efficient way for certain kinds of payments notably low-value payments."

Sounds like they are on the fence between bad and good. Like all bureaucrats, they are probably going to see some potential but be afraid to speak out in favor of Bit-Coinz for fear of making their bosses (Big Banks) or constituents (Tax Authorities like the IRS) angry.
