Dept. Of Homeland Security Freezes Accounts Between Dwolla And Bitcoin Exchange Mt. Gox - GoFuckYourself.com

Paul · 05-14-2013, 04:24 PM

Quote:

In the first governmental action against bitcoins, the Department of Homeland Security served the Dwolla mobile payment service with a court order requiring it to immediately cease all account activities with the Mt. Gox Bitcoin trading platform. Dwolla has complied with this order.

The news was first reported by Betabeat citing an email that OkCupid co-founder Chris Coyne received from the DHS and posted to Twitter. Other users have subsequently reported receiving similar communications from the federal agency and having difficulty accessing funds transferred to Mt. Gox from Dwolla in the last 24 hours.

There are certainly more questions than answers at this stage. We are prompted to wonder whether this is this the first of a series of governmental assaults on the exchanges? That?s what they?d target if they want to put the kibosh on bitcoin. Or, is this a case where DHS is investigating some individual or organization who may have used bitcoins, via Dwolla, for some potentially nefarious or terroristic reasons?

Members of the PandoDaily team have spoken to sources close to the bitcoin ecosystem and have been hearing that it?s likely the former.

1) Regulation
2) US applying pressure on Mt Gox bank to cease business

"That'll never happen you fucking mental retard idiot" says Franck,

Oh wait it has ALREADY happened to Mt Gox, they've had their Barclays bank account (UK) and their Polish bank account (EU) frozen.

In American Bitfloor got shutdown by their bank, Bitcoin-24 was shut down by their Polish bank, Canada shuts down Canadian Bitcoins without any reason. Getting the picture yet Franck?????

If Mt Gox is shutdown in the next 2 months I beg to differ, the price will crash.

NOW to my main point which is clearly over your head and if you weren't such an obnoxious French cunt you would have asked me about my opinion on why Bitcoin could be in serious trouble due to China's recent support of it.

China is in a currency war with the United States, China wants to remove the US currencies reserve status, currency of roughly 60% of global bank and sovereign foreign currency reserves, as well as the de facto medium of exchange for major commodity transactions in $.

For the last 5 years China has been taking agressive steps to undermine the $ - Supporting Bitcoin is just the lastest step in trying to undermine the $.

So you see if China supports Bitcoin in it's latest attempt to undermine the US dollar then it's only a matter of time before American decides to interviene and do something about it. IE CLOSE THE BITCOIN EXCHANGES and if you think that won't have an INCREDIBLY negative effect on the price of Bitcoins then you're a retard!

TBH Seeandsee this is bad news for Mt Gox more than anything atm, will be really interesting to see where the price goes tomorrow, already down from $120 to $110.

I'm still gonna buy back in if there is a significant drop tomorrow but I think the next month could be incredibly volatile for Bitcoin if Dwolla is the start of an attack on the money transmitting services.

I said this last week, if Mt Gox had ANY sense at all they'd be speaking to Bank Of China or any big Chinese bank about moving all their funds to China. If Gox get their Japanese bank accounts frozen the price of Bitcoin will crash below $10

Bring it on ladies, Bitcoin is antifragile..

"Some things benefit from shocks; they thrive and grow when exposed to volatility, randomness, disorder, and stressors and love adventure, risk, and uncertainty. Yet, in spite of the ubiquity of the phenomenon, there is no word for the exact opposite of fragile. Let us call it antifragile. Antifragility is beyond resilience or robustness. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better."

Amazon's virtual currency looks kinda lame. And like the article below pointed out, similar ventures in the past, Microsoft Points and Facebook Credits failed. Amazon is only offering bulk purchases/discounts of Amazon Coins. The currency can't be mined. And right now it can only be used to purchase Kindle Fire apps, games and app add-ons.

And the customer reviews of Amazon Coins are pretty harsh:

amazon coins are a crypto currency, period.

i added the fact they launched their cc when they did because it's timely with this news that the dhs is going after another cc.

it doesn't matter if the all-mighty facebook tried something or the m$, whoopie.

none of that is happening NOW. none of that added up to fincen regulations, none of that added up to dhs pulling shit.

none of that has anything to do with the fact that that dhs went after dwolla this week. now.

That's because when you mine bitcoins you make profit no matter what price you sell them at since you didn't pay for them in the first place,

Oh dear oh dear!

I don't think "freezing accounts" means what you think it means. Preventing transactions to mtgox is not an account freeze. I'm surprised Dwolla lasted as long as it did (they had a lot of issues keeping up with the demand of mtgox a couple years ago), but at least there's literally 10 or more other methods of transferring funds to and from bitcoin exchanges.

adultmobile · 05-15-2013, 07:58 AM

It seems not to fall from bad news anymore:

People are used to bad news about bitcoin vs govt and banks, in fact bitcoin fans are anti govt and anti banks and it is good PR that govt and banks try to shut down it.

It is just matter, at some point govt and banks it will really shut down all the exchangers, not just press, at that time if people can't buy or sell bitcoins, I wonder, perhaps price keeps the same, just with small volume.

Why do you think Amazon Coins are a crypto currency? What got you that idea? None of the articles say it is, the Amazon PR does not say it is, it is not stored in a wallet or such. It is simply stored in the Amazon local DB with all your other information. This is simply a way to pre-pay buying stuff and give discounts for doing so. This is it. Has nothing to do with a crypto currency, at least not right now.

Choopa Phil · 05-15-2013, 08:18 AM

That feel when dont sell before the crash, they go back up, and then you sell...and they crash again. You cant have super faith in this currency but there is without a doubt money to be made. Will be interesting to see the outcome

crypto currency is electronic money that acts as alternative currency not produced by government-endorsed central banks nor necessarily backed by national currency.

that's not my definition.

but you too missed my point in including that, which was that while the dhs hit dwolla over virtual currencies, there is an increasing prevalance and a greater acceptance of virtual/digital currencies and amazon coins being launched at the same time proves that.

you are thinking of "virtual" currency, "crypto" implies that it's based on cryptography, amazon coins are not based on cryptography... so amazon coins is a virtual currency, but not a crypto currency...

but that is exactly what i am trying to communicate. digital currencies are becoming ubiquitous, it doesn't matter if they are virtual, digital, crypto in orgin/behind the scenes software, people don't care about that, just like they/we don't care about understanding how a debit card works, just send me my shit i bought.

exchange the cyrpto part with digital or virtual or flivver, it doesn't matter how it is created, or mined or not mined.

dyna mo · 05-15-2013, 08:42 AM

here's another way to look at it, a big chink in the armor of btc is the fact it has to be mined. so when btc craps out, and it will, imo, the next digital currency will learn from that and more than likely, not even be mined.

That assumption is false. Mining bitcoins cost you money. You need to buy computer hardware. You need to pay for power. Unless you do the math it is just as easy to lose money as it is to make money.

I already had a computer with decent hardware, I'd assume everyone in the video editing business does? I live in the city where electricity is included in rent. My assumption is fact. Albeit only for my circumstances and most others.

The only way it's possible for me to lose money is if my graphics card burns out, but I have lifetime warranty on it, so I'd only lose a few bucks to shipping.

Well according to the search warrant, Mutum Sigillum's account was seized because Mark Karpeles didn't register the company properly as an MSB (Money Service Business)

Can't say I'm surprised!

From what I've read, the reason why the price hasn't crashed is because people have been taking their fiat out of Mt Gox and converting it to Bitcoins and transferring them away from Mt Gox.

But lets be honest who the fuck knows

I expected the price to be sitting at around $75 - $80 today and I was completely wrong

adultmobile No, I am not banned Industry Role: Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: ChatGF.com Posts: 5,345	It seems not to fall from bad news anymore: People are used to bad news about bitcoin vs govt and banks, in fact bitcoin fans are anti govt and anti banks and it is good PR that govt and banks try to shut down it. It is just matter, at some point govt and banks it will really shut down all the exchangers, not just press, at that time if people can't buy or sell bitcoins, I wonder, perhaps price keeps the same, just with small volume. __________________ TubeCamGirl.com

You cant have super faith in this currency but there is without a doubt money to be made. Will be interesting to see the outcome __________________ AIM - Choopa Phil Email - [email protected] A World Wide Leader In Hosting! * CHOOPA.COM *
