this bitcoin thing...

fuckyeahdubstep [Edit] [Delete] 10:53, 10 December '15

seems really insane to me

http://www.wired.com/2015/12/bitcoins-creator-satoshi-nakamoto-is-probably-this-unknown-australian-genius/
http://motherboard.vice.com/read/satoshis-pgp-keys-are-probably-backdated-and-point-to-a-hoax

in short:

apparently noone knows who invented bitcoin apart from that there is a record of them having around 9 million dollars worth of bitcoin. gizmo were leaked a bunch of documents which suggest that the guy is some australian guy, "an eccentric who wrote on his blog that he once accepted a challenge to create a pencil from scratch and spent years on the problem, going so far as to make his own bricks to build his own kiln in which to mix the pencil’s graphite."

BUT vice have evidence that the gizmo evidence is a hoax, but the hoax has been planned for years in advance

idk just something to waste your day on
