who are the total idiots who keep harping on about it being anonymous?
ReplyDeleteis this some kind of conspiracy - hey let's all pretend that bitcoin has always claimed anonymity and then we'll show that it's not and people will hate it
come on you lot stop this intellectual dishonesty

Start with Bank America Merrill Lynch, clown: http://www.economicpolicyjournal.com/2013/12/bank-americamerrill-lynch-analyst.htmland and see Wired http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/05/fbi-fears-bitcoin/
DeletePeak Oil, are you some kind of idiot??? That's supposedly the reason people tote shitcoins as the future...anonymity. haven't you been paying attention. There is no benefit to using shitcoins over anything else. The dollar, gold, and silver are far superior in every way. With the dollar being the only risk as, like shitcoins, its value could drop to zero. I'll stick with gold.
ReplyDeleteWow, Robert. I am very disappointed that you keep posting "Chris B." drivel but not a post with a link to Sarah's actual credentials.
ReplyDeleteI thought you were more honest than this.
It's your blog so you can do what you want to it and your credibility, here, I just expected better from you.
Are you a complete propagandist? Did you listen to the show? Her credentials are detailed right at the top of the show versus your selective BS.
DeleteThat page actually still says professor.

You are a total idiot. I interviewed Meiklejohn last week Tuesday, where I properly identified her credentials. There was no attempt to mis-identify her background. She was initially identified as a professor on the post related to her appearance and the error was corrected. I repeat, on the interview itself, which was recorded long before you raised any questions about her credentials, I properly identified her credentials.
DeleteYour bizarre fixation on this is only equaled by your bizarre fixation on Bitcoin as the great savior of mankind.
The truth hurts, huh, Adam?
DeleteBob,
ReplyDeleteThis was a great interview. Your point about tracking the bit-chain through all your purchases was especially poignant! From my perspective, given the focus law enforcement will have on Bit Coin just because of its reputation, you will be putting yourself at more risk if you were attempting to complete a transaction where you wished anonymity than if you just used a credit card.
I personally take Bit Coin as a beta test. I'm unwilling to be a guinea pig!
