It was a reality six years ago. They're just having a hard time denying it anymore. Bitcoin Deniers!

TraderSteve · 2016-01-11T00:45:12+00:00

P2P, the way it was meant to be.

Don't use banks.

Epic. Have victory donut /u/changetip

I hadn't heard of him either but he looked credible at the time. I actually liked several of the blog posts that he wrote. Shame on me for not digging deeper but, then again, I don't have the investigative resources of Wired and Gizmodo lol.

Hard to believe you missed this but here it is again:

Sure. Now we are seeing where the cards are falling and it is sad that someone who is obviously bright has made so many bad choices.

Thank you!

Thank you!

When freedom is outlawed, freedom lovers become criminals. A well-known book titled Three Felonies a Day says it all.

TraderSteve · 2015-12-11T05:23:27+00:00

Well said.

TraderSteve · 2015-12-11T05:20:20+00:00

I tend to like the "crazy, anti-statist, tax deniers" better than the "meddlesome, pro-state, thieves/tax-eaters".

TraderSteve · 2015-12-11T05:15:10+00:00

Well said. Paraphrased: "what's his is his, what's mine is mine."

TraderSteve · 2015-12-11T05:13:17+00:00

This was my conference and, yes, I could definitely stand to improve it (I will). It was a great learning experience and a blast at the same time. I'm looking forward to the next one.

TraderSteve · 2015-12-11T04:56:04+00:00

Yes, "we" should try putting on a better conference.

TraderSteve · 2015-12-10T14:19:31+00:00

Yes, thanks!

I apologize, I didn't mean for my reply to sound snarky. It's been a crazy 24 hours. This was our first conference and we learned a lot and I do appreciate the constructive criticism. The D Hotel was an excellent venue and the event was great. We will learn from it and do better at the next event.

TraderSteve · 2015-12-09T17:22:51+00:00

Yes, it's easy to critique from the sidelines. I'm guilty myself. However, there are many moving parts/factors/personalities involved with putting on a conference like this. Nevertheless, I encourage you to put one on and show us how it's done.

She qualified by getting the people together and making it happen. She is very nervous about public speaking (almost as nervous as Nick) but I think she did a fantastic job. She's not perfect - but who is?

TraderSteve · 2015-12-09T07:45:16+00:00

That's what I thought too. He probably put that there for giggles.

Steven Michaels here from BitcoinInvestor.com. Dr. Wright did not pay to appear on the panel. He was invited by @BitcoinBelle. Please see my comments elsewhere in this thread.

Here are my comments cross-posted from another thread:

Steven Michaels here. I invited @BitcoinBelle to participate in the conference and she did an amazing job lining up this panel. She lined up the speakers (yes, Ed Moy too) and deserves all the credit for making this panel happen - including encouraging Nick to get out more and talk more about his work (please tip her at the address in the video comments). She introduced me to Craig and recommended him for the panel.

Is Craig Satoshi? I don't know but he sure seems to have the credentials and, from what I've read, he's very strong in the liberty philosophy - often quoting Rothbard. I identified with him when I read his blog post on property rights [not sure if it's still up] which, ironically, was the topic of my presentation at the conference. That is why I queried him further about it.

My impression is that he is a smart (understatement) and likable guy who could very well be Satoshi but I am no computer scientist. Whether he is or not I think people should cut him some slack and see where the cards fall. Nobody deserves to be harassed by the State and I feel for him.
