Medici: First Digital Security Aims to Put Wall Street Out of Business

Newsweek included a photograph and a described a short interview, in which Nakamoto said he was no longer associated with Bitcoin and that it had been turned over to other people. The magazine concluded that the man was the same Nakamoto who founded Bitcoin.

I understand the intrigue involving of real money, monopoly money, and free money, so why not, virtual money.

Messages: Likes Received: Trophy Points: I follow bitcoin as well, simply because I have a sense of schadenfreude related to it, and its illegal ventures related to it drugs, mostly. Bitcoin is an effort to make an unregulated currency outside the control of any government, and is quite controversial for a number of reasons. Basically, instead of governments printing money, people running programs called 'bitcoin miners' are printing the money, and they keep what they print.

It's all virtual, though, electronic bits, nothing physical. One of the larger bitcoin exchanges, Mt. Gox in Japan, recently collapsed and took with it close to half a billion dollars worth of bitcoin. Where did they go? No one knows.

Last year, the government shut down an online drug black market called Silk Road, which was a huge deal, hundreds of millions of dollars were tied up in it.

I follow news related to these illegal, online drug markets because they follow what is, to me, an amusing pattern to observe: people spend their bitcoin money in them, and then either through hacking of a third-party, or duplicity on the part of the drug market's owner, the drug market disappears along with millions of dollars in bitcoin.

This has happened half a dozen times or more in the past year. What amuses me is that after it happens people are so shocked that a criminal organization has stolen their money yet again!

I won't say that I know a whole lot about it or even understand it, but it is fascinating to watch the evolution of cryptocurrency. Elphaba , Mar 7, Messages: 4, Likes Received: 40 Trophy Points: I find Bit coin and Doge coin fascinating as well. Not bad for never putting in 1 cent. He said as long as you take them out of the exchanges wallet they can not steal them. Seems like a pyramid type scheme to me. I listened to an interview with independent journalist David Seaman. Noting the resounding success seen by Overstock.
