With every +10k buy I pray that this is not some leverage BTC derivative guy with lots of money to play and a good script to execute buy/sell on exchange and broker simultaneously.
Why? If that's really what it was, he/she would at least be helping to make the market more efficient and deepening liquidity, right? Better a deep-pocketed arbitrageur, than a deep-pocketed manipulator trying to yank the price around playing games like "the hammer" for a few bitcoins profit here and there at the cost of greatly increasing volatility...

Lowery (Secret Service guy): by and large, in our investigations, we haven't seen sophisticated organized criminals gravitating toward P2P cryptocurrencies like bitcoin -- they seem to prefer centralized currencies (e.g., e-gold, Liberty Reserve).
Maybe because I was bracing for him to come out with some asshole-ish statement about how bad BTC is, I was really pleasantly surprised at this acknowledgement.

Murck is boooooooring!
Unfortunately it is clear the others have more public speaking confidence and experience. He is doing a good enough job though for someone that is doing hearings ever couple days.
Agreed - he's doing fine. But, still -- really?? John Matonis couldn't be bothered to change his schedule to fly to DC for this???

Ponder this: as this hearing wraps up in the next half-hour to hour, the sun is just rising on a brand new trading day in Beijing and Shanghai.

Who would have imagined, one year ago, that we'd be sitting here in November of 2013 listening to a Senate committee discussion about Satoshi Nakamoto...?

Wow, Merkley's not exactly 100% right on some of the details, but he's clearly been well-briefed by his staff, and I'd say he clearly groks what's going on under the hood a hell of a lot better than anybody I've heard yet outside of the Bitcoin community...

Heh. Senator Moran: "Earlier today, I posted on Reddit, asking people what I should know..."
I'd have been *much* more impressed if he'd said "earlier today, I posted on BitcoinTalk..."

I'm thinking about getting into these credit card things, apparently that's where the big crime money is
I hear it's pretty easy to get the private key for those things. No way they catch on
Haha. Yeah, they're kinda like casascius coins, except they've already got the tamper-evident hologram peeled off so anyone and everyone can see the private key...

Damn it, thought that was a "new" capture, not 10 mins old! lol
Looks like recovery starts now; unless more whales come out to play.
China still has 3.5m USD of bids until ~$500.
In Communist China, Bitcoiners actually have balls.
In Communist China, Bitcoin buys and holds *you*.

Whomever comes up with this stuff, they've got some imagination. Ill give em that.
look at the second word of everything mark says.
haha. i didn't get it at first when i got to that last line, thinking it meant every other word ("never...it...come...this...here..." huh?) rather than the second word of each line. but that's pretty clever.
Steganographic Rick-Rolling FTW!!!
