Topic: When is this pirate drama going to end? - page 2. (Read 4458 times)
I made money off of pirate. I put BTC10 in some passthru and took BTC12.4 out. It was a gamble, and I didn't get greedy. I was actually surprised when I got my money back.
Few bucks? Pretty small minded thinking. bitlane a vocal (and annoying) member has about $25,000 USD tied up in this. Your 20 btc is insignificant, but to assume every one complaining has so little invested is ignorant. That's double what a good number of Americans make in a year of working 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week, for 50 (or more) weeks. You are surprised that it's dominating the forums when what looks like the biggest scam in bitcoin's history is going down?
I had my entire university fund in bitcoinica for a single week, and during that week it was hacked and I haven't gotten a penny back, I made the bitcoinica investigation and then stopped mentioning it because talking about it won't get me my money back, and bitcoinica was a fully licensed financial services corporation that had a completely acceptable EULA.
Pirate was giving you 7% returns from the start, on a shady forum account, with absolutely no information regarding what he was putting the money towards or any guarantee on ever paying back, come on, think about it, why not just play poker? But calling me ignorant for over my small value invested in pirate is laughable, because you and I both know you shouldn't have put more than that in, in the first place.
Bitcoinica was hacked 2 times before they got "third time lucky" - they only denied repayments after the last hack. It was terribly reckless to have your entire University fund in Bitcoinica to the bitter end. No two ways about that.

The whole story is pretty amusing and of course interesting, however, im not invested on any of these schemes and never will be.
If i really want to gamble ill put my money in real investments where i do my own dd.
In the end all this story does is the effect that more people will see bitcoin as a tool for scammers and people with illegal ambitions.
On the bet all i can say that either the guy who makes the bet is stupid or has enough money to prove his confidence or knows more than anybody else here.

I really hope pirate ends up writing a Currin Trading-style full disclosure a couple months down the line. It would put so many people in their place
I do not have a single satoshi invested with pirate; however I am monitoring the pirate drama closely. Why? Because of the potential impact on the BTC / USD exchange rate.
Be honest
SHUT YOUR MOUTH. you CANT DISPROVE ITS A NOT PONZI.
Wait.... let me get this straight. You guys... willingly? gave your bitcoins to a Pirate, and now you want them back?
...
HAHAHAHAHA
...
HAHAHAHAHA
Didn't everyone predict that pirate would do this? Investing in him was more of a bet to try to see if you could pull your money out before he crashed.
It won't stop until another user starts scamming people.
It's funny cuz it's true.

Same here.
Things won't go to normal until at least he either repays or loses Vandroiy's bet, which would happen 9 days from now. And then things may still be a bit shaky for a while.
I've received my payout.

Looks like another claim of funds received....

Pirate drama has already ended, he got your money, he ran with it.
The only thing that's happening now is people with false hopes and depressions making posts about it, oh and some more trolling at pirates end.

Pirate drama will end, but not drama in general. Bitcoin is an excellent medium for HYIPs, and new ones will inevitably pop up, with fresh blood trying to get in on the action. Get ready for perpetual drama.
3 days 6 hours 42min and counting
It won't stop until another user starts scamming people. In which case, we'll forget about pirate and bitch about someone else.
We love bitching.

Yeah, thanks to pirate, we forgot about zhou!
