No one stole anything from them. Or at least not something remotely close to what is reported. How can 800k btc go missing? Even people with few hundred btc split them between several different offline wallets. Can't be stolen. Their h

Bitstamp have proved their good intentions and competence. They also have the most to lose at this point as the market leader. Had zero problems with transfers from there, very quick support replies, seem to be in good relations with their

On other websites it's trolling. Here it's not.

sure that's a clever argument? what if you bought it at any other time during the few years it exists? anyway that was not the point. The point was people failing to see the innovation and seeing only the problems. Which was the point

I replied on the matter of investing in currency. Shorting is one investment strategy. Buy and hold is another one. I bet a lot of people would short bitcoin if they could. Anyway this is ridiculous. People try to analyze an new phenomena w
