then the tech world just got 1000x more boring. I thought people got into the startup world because they wanted to AVOID wall street....

best thing the author said lol -- I recommend governments to shut down the entire network to prevent people from doing nasty things with Bitcoin. amen

Btw VMG this is the last you'll hear from me! I'm trying to resolve to not read/comment on any more Bitcoin posts. It's fueling the fire of boredom. I gotta code somethin cool in the next few months so we can have a new headline on this site finally.

Well, something so dangerous that must be shut down by the government can't be boring in my eyes.

Sad to see you go, Bitcoin needs critics and contrarians.

Heh so you just find poker too banal, eh?

Lol if you want to code something better than Bitcoin (I think it's trivially easy using libcoin but involves putting a couple of legal/economic advisors on the payroll, which I can't afford yet) you may well count me in, but I'm tired of this same old block chain.

FYI gov't still hasn't shut down Amway & they are obviously a pyramid scheme. That's why I'm not interested, it seems like a clear failure to me that is just festering -- why wait for the official word? It may take a while. I'd want to build a cryptocurrency that stabilizes much faster.

All the best
