    many states are investigating as well as the Fed's I have read a number of articles about possible digital laundering, not sure if thats the case, but more over like a pyramid scheme.

    I'll stick to Gold Prospecting.

    Here are the seized coins

    https://blockchain.info/address/1F1tAaz5x1HUXrCNLbtMDqcw6o5GNn4xqX

    There are legitimate uses for them. They are upset due to the gov't and politicians not getting their cut. That is all.

    The coins siezed were being used to buy drugs and other deemed illegal warez.

    states and feds are investigating because it de-centralizes currency and the known origin is actually unknown. pretty much gubment mad cuz bitcoin make there money useless. might be a pyramid scheme idk. digital laundering is a big possibility because it uses other peoples computer to store data and info that is untraceable so pretty much the only way to truly stop this is to shut down the internet altogether and if the gubment did that then [​IMG] would most likely no longer be fictional lol

    Either way. I am happy that I will be able to get some of the 'MODS' I wanted for the truck at a Considerable discount due to my foresight on these. Ben will be getting a nice order for LIGHTS for the Expo Rig.

    No he doesn't yet. Seemed he was interested. Then "Cashing out" / using an exchanger appeared to bother him.

    I have watched a couple of videos on this on Youtube including the one posted above. So, in order to purchase one BTC i need $1001.23 (thats what it is currently) is that correct? Are there other ways to earn them?

    You can purchase whatever .oooooooooooo1 you want. Say you want to buy a $10 item online. You could just buy $10 worth of coin.

    Whilst on the topic of Bitcoin, anyone heard of the Dark Web, Silk Road or The Armory? Pretty interesting stuff. I wasn't aware bitcoin was used much outside of that.

    Yes, I know darkweb.. FYI SR is gone. I linked the blockchain of seized coins. At the current price point, the GUBMT has right around 30milion USD siezed.

    There's nothing that bitcoins are tied down to. they can be worth pennies, or millions based solely on how badly people want them. It's a great thing, and a terrible thing if the market crashes.
