RICHARD BRANSON endorses BITCOIN; VIRGIN GALACTIC will ACCEPT VIRTUAL CURRENCY
Dicky Branson! Way to go. The filthy rich son of a bitch has thrown his weight behind Bitcoin. But bro ain’t stopping there. No sir. No ma’am. Branson has gone on record stating that his space start-up company will accept virtual currency.
FBI seizes $28.5 MILLION IN BITCOINS from SILK ROAD creator
Yeah, the FBI has taken a shit load of money from the head of some international drug market thing. I don’t know if that is ever considered “rote”, but we’ve all heard of it before. But this case is different! How so, I rhetorically ask myself? Because it involves the Dark Internet Web Place drug haven Silk Road, and bitcoins. Yeah, Future! Yeah, Futuristic Drug Busts!
US District Court says BITCOIN is REAL MONEY.
Ah, my fluid-covered copy of Neuromancer loves this development. A US District Court Judge Person said that Bitcoin can be used as actual money. Naw I’m not really sure about all the legalese behind it, I just know that this is the future that Max Headroom promised me.
WINKLEVOSS TWINS own 1 PERCENT of all Bitcoin. That’s uh, neat guys.
Those guys who hired Jesse Eisenburger to create Face-Book in that movie are trying their hardest to be relevant. Sure they didn’t get to own the Harvard Face-Space, but they own a considerable amount of Bitcoin! Listen, don’t get me wrong. Bitcoin is cool. However, this smacks like that time my Dad bought me an Atari when all I wanted was a fucking Nintendo.
Bitcoin value hits all-time high, the Future smiles on us.
The Bitcoin thing doesn’t seem like a fad, yo. The value against the dollar is climbing, and climbing. These days it is worth more than $32 against our Imperial credits. All sorts of science-fiction, post-something-something is occurring. Huzzah!
23-year-old dude from Brooklyn releases new chips that mine Bitcoins 50 times faster. THE FUTURE.
If you want to get in on the hot Bitcoin casino action, you’re going to need some of them Bitty-Coinz. There is a new lad on the prowl, making them mining operations sing at a bit of a higher frequency.
Bitcoin-funded online casino rocked over $500,000 in profit after six months. Future++
Welcome to the future, people. In the future, people not giving a fuck about governments cracking down on online gambling take their swagger to the Bitcoin casino. And this isn’t some small fry nonsense (though I suppose it is, in a relative sense), with one casino racking up over half a million in profits.
Hacker claims to have Mitt Romney’s tax returns, wants $1 MILLI in Bitcoin. The Future, man.
This is the sort of ridiculous stuff that couldn’t have happened thirty years ago or whatever, and for that I am grateful. Bless you, Future. Bless you for your latex porn, your easily accessible music, and your wonky hacking stories.
