This is the first comment on the site:

"Just in time for today's Senate hearings on Bitcoin. How convenient."

I think that about sums it up...

My first reaction is false flag.

It is a really bad headline which undermines Bitcoin even if fake. It gives ammunition to Senators, isn't there going to be a hearing pretty soon?

There are very very very few people who have 75,000 BTC. I can't imagine any of them would like to piss away $45M and harm Bitcoin.

Then again it is a really bad headline which undermines Bitcoin even if fake. It gives ammunition to Senators, isn't there going to be a hearing pretty soon?

125 BTC, US$75,000. That's the bounty, not 75,000 BTC.

Not only is this fake, I'm betting it's probably created by people who do not want BitCoin to succeed.... Use your imagination.

Correct. DOH. Seeing the link link ("75000 BTC") caused me to go into the article with a predisposed opinion. Human brain is funny sometimes.

I still think it is a false flag but at $75,000 the odds that it is some legit moron increases.

Of course it is a false flag. Nobody is going to get $75,000 worth of benefit from his death when there is a laundry list of bernanke wannabees lined up behind him. It's so preposterous that it should help bitcoin.

No one is really doing this. It's all a ruse. Lies playing on the theater of fear to try to frame the debate and generate a desired response.

Don't fall for it.

Bitcoin is the ultimate freedom test. It tells you who is giving lip service and who genuinely believes in it.

ATTENTION BFL MINING NEWBS: Just got your Jalapenos in? Wondering how to get the most value for the least hassle? Give BitMinter a try! It's a smaller pool with a fair & low-fee payment method, lots of statistical feedback, and it's easier than EasyMiner! (Yes, we want your hashing power, but seriously, it IS the easiest pool to use! Sign up in seconds to try it!)

The idea that deflation causes hoarding (to any problematic degree) is a lie used to justify theft of value from your savings.

OK. Then it's because Bitcoin will make him irrelevant. Thanks for the confirmation. Wink

This is not some pseudoeconomic post-modern Libertarian cult, it's an un-led, crowd-sourced mega startup organized around mutual self-interest where problems, whether of the theoretical or purely practical variety, are treated as temporary and, ultimately, solvable.
Censorship of e-gold was easy. Censorship of Bitcoin will be entertaining.
