The question is, is he really buying? Or just saying he is, as an experiment to see the effect on the incredibly unstable bitcoin market?
- dominictarr 15y ago
  yes, that is exactly what he is doing.
  - rlpb 15y ago
    Aren't all transactions public? Would anyone like to look up and check to see if the transactions he's mentioned have actually happened?

        Was wondering when someone would actually take the time to look up the facts. :-)

Rich-kid sociopath slimeball is trying purposely to disrupt a burgeoning digital currency. Nothing to see here, move along, etc.

  I want to get mad at you for talking trash, but it's obvious you've had issues with me for a while. Why don't you just let it go? We've never met before and you really don't know anything about me.
  - alnayyir 15y ago
    You threatened me with the handgun that you said you had in your manhattan apartment, stalked me, publicized my profiles on various websites in an IRC channel ostensibly about programming, violated (plagiarized) the intellectual property of some nice people I'm rather fond of, lied about the former and continue to do so and to top it all off... ...keep trying to play the nice guy act because now you have some skin in the reputation game because of your nodejitsu thing. No, I'm not going anywhere. People deserve to know what a scumbag you are, especially if they're going to be doing business with you. They can make their own decisions after they have the facts. N.B. His behavior against me was triggered by my calling him out for not apologizing for plagiarizing code.
    - reddittor 15y ago
      AHAHAHA! Hilarious troll. Now I remember why we had to ask you to leave the #node.js irc room.
      - alnayyir 15y ago
        No one asked me to leave, and there was certainly no "we" involved. At the time you were dox'ing me, I was busy (getting ready to take a trip to SE Asia IIRC), and mostly absent. When I saw what was going on in my logs, I left of my own choice, no one said anything to me except for a couple members of the community that told me what you were doing. Anybody (what few I did) that I spoke to about the incident were quite perturbed by your behavior. I don't think you're actually capable of understanding how inappropriate and erratic you were acting.
