@polemitis @cdixon @pmarca @TheStalwart @hblodget Can’t withdraw your money? You just got Goxed. Been happening for years; when will it end?
@cdixon @pmarca @TheStalwart @hblodget @polemitis Traders who wanted to withdraw money were forced to buy bitcoins, thus driving up price.
@cdixon @pmarca @TheStalwart @hblodget @polemitis Gox was actually higher than market avg for months after fiat withdrawals ceased.
Looks like we’re going to have record attendance for tomorrow night’s Triangle Bitcoin Meetup! Not too late to RSVP! http://t.co/ARHmQgB3zq
@AddisonTodd @cryptotraveler @oleganza Though I am open with the actions that I have undertaken with my money. This is not investment advice
@AddisonTodd @cryptotraveler @oleganza Sure; I ~NEVER~ tell anyone to convert their hard earned money into cryptocurrency. It’s quite risky.
@AddisonTodd @cryptotraveler @oleganza It is a high risk, high reward proposition. What I consider to be acceptable risk is not “normal.”
Since “value” is a fundamental concept that drives society, shouldn’t it be defined in a fair fashion? Doesn’t it require consensus?
But when you research monetary systems, you eventually arrive at the questions: What is value? How to we represent it? Who defines it?
Many people find discussing money boring. It’s supposed to be boring; it’s something that should be ubiquitous and trusted to always work.
.@coinbase added granular permissions to API keys a week ago; I wonder if @mint is going to secure their integration? http://t.co/0ooTUsoDlC
Gox incompetence continues; they openly admit needing @blockchain’s help to fix their bug. Withdrawals coming soonâ„¢. https://t.co/YCdSnjrXTW
The anti-crypto crowd has yet to realize that fighting is futile. Non-participants cannot hurt crypto; at worst they can slow its growth.
Inevitable that crypto will see traditional banking services. Ex: you shouldn’t self-manage your bitcoins if you’re as high as a Snoop Lion.

@jefft I thought those were obvious :-) I’ve found that very few people think to add in their crypto.
If you suddenly pass away, will your loved ones be able to access your cryptocurrencies? Make sure you have a retrieval system set up!
Spent yesterday implementing a custom N-of-M cold storage system for Lopp Holdings’ bitcoins. I prefer my paper wallets to be digital.
