Guys, I am very happy my article got featured in the video, but @Car you are making some very dubious claims that somehow my article takes one side and incorrectly states certain facts or omits others.
This is beyond absurd considering that EVERY SINGLE WORD in the article can be verified since I have included sources and even burned them on the photos.
And the speculative parts in the conclusions are based on ACTUAL BLOCKCHAIN DATA, and I am very clear that it is speculative and we can't know for sure.
Also, I will have you know that I was an Mt. Gox user while this was happening, so I am not really giving any second-hand information here this is from LIVING IT MYSELF.
There is no other piece of writing that covers all the events together in a cohesive timeline on the internet, and clearly I went the extra mile to make it easy to read.
Not sure why you are having this passive-aggressive attitude, where you are claiming there are errors in my article but yet you cannot point to a single concrete thing.
This is especially strange when I clearly put a lot of effort into making sure everything is verifiable and truthful. So your comments seem strange and uncalled for.
Also, everything you say shows that you did not even read 1 sentence from the article.
Blame on one person (@ 45:40)Blame on one person (@ 45:40)
"Yeah it kinda puts the blame singularly on one person here, and I don't think that's entirely accurate."
There is not a single sentence where I conclude who was to blame or what exactly happened, since this is not known to this day.
Furthermore, I am probably the single person on the whole internet that actually found one way to empathize with Mark's situation even though it is entirely unexcusable.
I did not know the McCormack podcasts exist (@ 46:17)I did not know the McCormack podcasts exist (@ 46:17)
You are claiming that the series Peter did on Mt. Gox is more accurate and has the best information, because the stories are told by people.
We are talking about people who had a reputation in the community for lying and doing dodgy stuff people who provably lied about their situation multiple times, as I even showed from the leaked document INCLUDED IN THE ARTICLE.
So somehow you claim that the people who are involved in the most reckless security practices of all time are more truthful than the sources of what actually was going on when this was taking place (as they were happening on Bitcoin Talk) + the actual blockchain data that shows they lied in their press releases.
"I'm not sure even raw_avocado knew these podcasts exist."
I would like to say I do know of their existence and I listened to them when they went live.
Also, I really insist on you pointing out even 1 single thing that is inconsistent because for some reason you just did not give any specific example.
P.S.
To the person off camera who claimed the pictures are AI, they are not. They are sourced from the news articles at the time. I color-graded them to look better and more dynamic.
By 2014 there were already multiple pro-sumer photo cameras that had 24MP sensors and even better options on the higher end, which is what a professional photographer working for a newspaper would have.
This did not happen in the '90s.
I literally forgot to add the sources to the images from the protest as they were done last. Every other picture in the article has the link on them. Here are the sources:
I think I saw all the old videos where they came out, but I don't remember specific part, need to re-watch them.
I am highly skeptical of the fact that Karpeles was DPR, AFAIK the only connection with is that website that was registered by his company or something, but I dont think thats a strong enough link.
I really dont think he is any Keyser Soze, but then again the bigges trick the Devil ever pulled was conviencing he world he never existed ;)
Yeah, those are very cool projects, but realistically less than 0.00001% of people use them (if that).
The problem with decentralised exchanges is that you are using fiat, which is very centralised, and this opens up a possibility for people to charge you back, or worse, stolen fiat accounts send you money.
Then the person who owns the bank account goes to the police and you will get charged back.
I changed it today, and i think if you viewed my profile before it is still chaching the old one.
I think to have the alby one i need to have the Hub online, and i dont rn.
YW.
I don't think there was any progress AFAIK.
Wizsec hints that there is something goin on, but no update since 2015.

Oh yeah, absolutely, one reason for the write up was because he kept popin' in my feed, and kept reminding me.

You can try to zap here directly if you want :) alexwaltz@blink.sv
It most definetly was an important milestone. If there was no MtGox Bitcoin may have never taken off.
Both are TAXes but serve very different purposes.
How do you know what a coinjoin is, but not a coinbase?
You did not share an opinion, you made false claims about my work, and refused to point out even 1 single thing that was incorrect in the article, but repeated this multiple times.
If you can name 1 single thing that is incorrect in the article, I will send you 1 Bitcoin.
If not, I think you should at least admit you were talking shit.
You literally said that I changed the story, that's not an opinion, that's accusation.
And the audacity to claim that I did not know about the podcasts, you clearly have a problem with me (not sure why) and are a passive-aggressive bitch.
