          I forget, as he changed his mind as often as this Tory government ... did he recommend shorting Bitcoin?

          Edit: just read back through. He didn't short but he sold at $12 as it was clearly over priced and heading back down to $9 as predicted by his crayon drawings.

          He may have left the forum, but he's still providing entertainment to the masses

              He was holding it upside down.
              Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

                To be fair, it was the right way up until he went into that room in the Heathrow Thistle.

                Other excuses include "I told you to buy. But I meant in 3 years time. Why did you buy now"

                  His last words were:

                  "Buy by? Bye..."

                  Often misinterpreted as "buy, buy, buy!"

                    Bitcoin investors: From buying a Bentley to losing it all - BBC News

                    We had a client whose Bitcoin wallet was fraudulently accessed and all the money was transferred out of it. He had intended to use it as a deposit on a house.

                    The man had been spooked by reports of fluctuations in the currency and decided to check his wallet. But he clicked on a fraudulent link, which led him to a phishing site, a complete clone of the real thing.

                    He had 84 bitcoins, and the fraudsters transferred 83 of them. At the time, in 2017, they were worth $475,000.

                    We tracked the payment on the blockchain [a kind of shared digital public ledger] - we could see it rolling across various wallets and finally it reached a wallet containing $15m of currency.

                    While the final identity of the fraudsters could not be identified, we were able to have the wallets frozen, so at least denying access to the stolen funds.

                    Our client was irate but philosophical. Today, that stolen Bitcoin would be worth £2.8m.

                    Once it's gone, it really has gone.

                      Yeh I had some crypto nicked off an exchange a few years ago....

                      Luckily only about £600 but it still pissed me off at the time. Yeh my fault for leaving it on the exchange and not enabling two-factor authentication....

                      I did track the blockchain to a VPN in germany. You could even see the money going into this one account that night. £1000s. I even reported it to fraud police for a laugh. They tracked it to russia then said "its gone".

                      Now I keep mine on a usb ledger thingy and not on an exchange at all....
