Full disclosure I currently have zero bitcoin. However I am very supportive of the world having a currency that is controlled by the collective instead of a governing body. Since there has been little movement in the price in the past 6 months I'm considering transferring some of my pocket money over and seeing how it works in just day to day spending. Has any of you done this or does everyone just Hodl?
It was one click up from what I’d meant to select. No warning, no questions, just banned with message from moderators “scammer begone” that’s verbatim.
Scammer? Am I joining a group of equally intolerant and borderline stupid people here? If so, just ban me now and let’s get this over with. I wouldn’t want to be here anyways.
A member of the same group also replies to one of my comments that received 5 awards and hundreds of likes by calling me a dumbass for using the term “blockchain technology”. Seriously, let’s get it over with now please if the same crap goes on here.
A Russian businessman has made a statement to police, claiming that masked men kidnapped him from his luxury car and intimidated him into revealing the key to his digital wallet with 250 bitcoins (around $17 million) on it, a law enforcement source has said.
The victim told the officers that the incident happened in Moscow on Thursday, with the perpetrators jumping out of a van, apprehending him, putting a bag on his head and driving him to an unknown location, a source who talked to RIA-Novosti news agency revealed.
"According to the claimant, the criminals took his mobile phone, on which an app was allegedly installed, allowing access to the so-called digital wallet. On it, there were 250 bitcoins. The attackers forced the man to reveal the password to this wallet," he said.
After the perpetrators got what they wanted, they dropped the man off in woods not far from the town of Krasnogorsk, near the northwestern boundary of Moscow, the source said.
A criminal case investigating robbery has been launched, RIA-Novosti’s source added, pointing out, however, that it wasn't clear at that moment if there really was such a sum in the digital wallet.
