I don't really see it as an issue. A lot of companies contract with the government.

That is true, plus the NSA can pretty much see everything regardless.

The US government knows what you're doing with you're money regardless of what sites you use to spend it. Mmm kay?

Soon they will be constantly outed and shamed, preventing them from the continued use of coercion, deception, and violence to get their way. And we will live in a more reasonable, more kind world.

The future is coming. If you are a lover of domination and/or violence you should consider suicide now, a world governed by reason may not be for you.

Most libertarians would likely not wish to do business with an entity like this, however the DOJ may give this hypothetical exchange some level of legitimacy.

To me the beauty of bitcoin is that I don't have to trust that entity but that I can trust the great Bitcoin network. 

If I don't like that entity, I don't have to use them.

Bitcoin Shop CEO Appointed to GoCoin Advisory Board

http://cointelegraph.com/news/111624/bitcoin_shop_ceo_appointed_to_gocoin_advisory_board

Quote
Online cryptocurrency marketplace Bitcoin Shop has announced that its head, Charles Allen, has been appointed to the advisory board of payment processor GoCoin.

Allen, who will retain his role as CEO of Bitcoin Shop, said he was “thrilled to be joining” the board. In a press release published this week, Allen stated:

“The appointment was a natural step in the progression of our relationship [with GoCoin] as Steve [Beauregard, founder and CEO of GoCoin] and I, along with the rest of his team, share many of the same visions for the future of virtual currency.”
He added that Bitcoin Shop and GoCoin were planning further collaborative opportunities for the future.

Allen worked with GoCoin’s chief operating officer Michal Handerhan in the $1.5 million equity financing of GoCoin in March.

GoCoin CEO Beauregard, meanwhile, complimented Allen’s business and financial leadership, saying the company welcomed his added guidance to the board.

Bitcoin Shop, founded in 2014, is an online marketplace similar to Amazon or eBay that accepts the virtual currencies Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Dogecoin as payment for transactions. The site currently offers over 140,000 items in 400 item categories.

The site is powered with the GoCoin payment processor, which converts altcoin transactions in real time to fiat currency – on the Bitcoin Shop site, US dollars. The conversion rate of altcoins to dollars on the marketplace is updated by GoCoin every 15 minutes, according to the Bitcoin Shop site.

Most recently, we've learnt that Louis J. Freeh, an FBI notable, was part of Sunlot's Mt Gox takeover plans from the get-go

This thread is relatively short, so please take the time to read it if you haven't already in the past, albeit a re-read may be in order considering that Brock Pierce is now on the board of TBF.

Would you trust a major Bitcoin entity that works with the DoJ?

Department of BTC Justice founded by Satoshi?   Cheesy

Don't get ahead of, for I'm a tad behind due to running to the Post Office. Did you know that since just prior to the Olympics, the USPS no longer tracks international packages. When ask why, the gal said she couldn't tell me, but she did know the answer. WTF is all that about? May have to Google that later because I have too many tabs open now.

EDIT: 7:09 PM CST ~ I'm locking this thread while I reevaluate my position.

Bruno, you should read this: http://www.thedeal.com/content/consumer-retail/bitcoin-retailer-raises-19m-in-reverse-merger.php

It's pretty clear that the Handerhan guy had a lot of government contacts from his work with NASA. He probably made those training videos because of his contacts (suckin off the govt teat). They are pretty transparent about their business acquisition and don't really seem to be hiding anything. They might actually see profit potential in Bitcoin. Then again maybe it's a conspiracy. lol

Read it! What I'm trying to point out is that all those entities that led up to Bitcon Store being on the stock exchange doesn't make sense, including TOUCHIT TECHNOLOGIES, INC, of which the reverse merger stems from.

Surely, such a viable entity like TouchIt has plenty in the news. Let's see, shall we?: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/h?s=TUCND&t=2014-02-05T06:03:14-05:00&id=64219615

CEO Charles Allen said the placement is the company's first and will be used to grow the business. He declined to identify the investors, saying that they were a combination of institutional and high-net-worth investors.

GULP! I stand corrected! Investors that opt not to want to identify themselves. Probably some pension fund money or the like. BTW, don't get ahead.

Dude, they registered with the SEC. That makes every Bitcoin business operating legally in the US a honeypot. If you don't want to be known by the US authorities then don't use any Bitcoin business based in the USA. Oh, and don't use BitPay either because they also keep those records on merchants. I think you're freaking out a little. My post above shows that they already revealed all of the connections you are pointing out.

And that is wonderful news.

It's the connections that don't make sense, coupled with Michael H. changing his name to Michal H.

I have a lot more, but I could easily end my proof here with just this one post, with information I just found minutes ago (actually longer now, for it took me a while to pen this), again by accident.

One of Bitcoin Shop's principles (funny how he changed the spelling of his first name after using the alternate/proper[English Spelling that is] for many a years prior) and his wife visited...wait for it...the West Wing of the White House as can be seen here (her name redacted, but can easily be gleaned): http://whitehouse-visitors.com/?date=2010-11-13

A person having a very, very similar name acting as their host during the visit to TWW posted the following on Twitter: https://twitter.com/harasimowiczm/status/77488129191325696

Still waiting for the slightest shred of proof.  If you don't have any proof you'll keep posting stupid "teaser" postings, probably in reply to this message too.  Attention whore much?

Hey, cocksucker! I'm typing it, you SOB. So chill!

From this post forward, please add to the conversation or either enjoy it, learn from it, or ignore it.

Exactly, you have zero proof.  You're just posting random junk mashed together.  /unsubscribed and I suggest everyone do that so as not to reward OP's trolling.

Your last warning! Post anything not related to this thread, and I will exercise, for the very first time, notifying/reporting your post to get it deleted. Seriously, I have never done such before, of which all the mods here can easily confirm.

You have made it quite clear that this thread serves no interest to you, thus go play somewhere else. This is a serious issue and I don't have time to play with you.

That said, you're free to ask me anything, or point out errors, of which I will kindly reply to them, in spite of your sentiment.

Why don't you just come out and present the opinion or information instead of making a stupid game out of it. This reminds me of the news on TV announcing an upcoming story and then delaying it until near the end of the news cast.

His parents must not have given him enough attention.  Now he constantly treats everyone like they're his mommy and he desperately seeks attention from them.  Pretty pathetic troll.  Now time to find how I can block a user so I don't waste any more time responding to his stupidity in the future.

Edit: Ignore link under his name.  Thank you Bitcointalk.

Not reporting the 4-post-count dick, for he now has me on ignore. If you come back here, then it'll be considered stalking since I don't have a clue as to what your agenda may be, and I will be reporting you to the police. On second thought, I may save that option as the last resort.  Roll Eyes

Visiting http://web.archive.org/web/20080927011329/http://www.moonrisedesign.com/virginia_web_design.htm I uncovered the following nugget:

Virginia prides itself on the quality and excellence of its public education system that is producing highly skilled and educated graduates working for some of the country’s foremost federal organizations also based in the state, including the Central Intelligence Agency, Department of Defense, as well as the National Science Foundation. To support all these business and government activities, Virginia has the highest concentration of technology professionals and workers among any state.

The above was discovered completely by accident. If that weren't the case, I would state such.

Please accept my apologies for not going fast enough for you.



Here's the short version: Meesha Media Group, et al. (others to be shown) is controlled by the NSA and created Bitcoin Shop to glean vitals from bitcoiners. This is evident when you view what videos/work they have done in the past, oppose to working with any entity of the general public.

May I take a break now and get a fresh cup of coffee?
