@fornichessate removed their quoted postThe elites pumped and dumped. That is what they do. It is market manipulation in the short term. They will all come back in the long term though. Until them this is a great buying opportunity.
Buy low and go long. Especially Bitcoin since criminals have learned how to avoid being tracked with Bitcoin. All sorts of criminals are going to use it now. And if the kidnappers of Nancy are not caught it will inspire all sorts of kidnapping in the future.

@fornichessate saidNations have tried to ban it. It is not an easy thing to do and privacy coins would just replace Bitcoin so it would have to be a total cryptocurrency ban. That is what China tried to do without much success. .
@Metal-Brain
If Bitcoin inspires crime, it will be banned eventually.
I think China banned it already?

When grouping different wallets together into an entity, Satoshi Nakamoto - the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin - is the largest holder of the currency, in possession of 1.096 million BTC (around $101 billion) it says in this article below:

I don't know how anybody knows that since nobody knows who Satoshi Nakamoto is. Since nobody knows it could be the government for all I know. Government could be pumping and dumping it. So the obvious good question is are the people selling most most Bitcoin right now avoiding being tracked? If so I guess it could be a scam in a way.
How do we know the person calling himself Satoshi Nakamoto is still alive? Do we know this Satoshi Nakamoto has sold any of his Bitcoin? If not how can we rule out that he is dead? Did he leave it to an heir if he is dead? Or is all that Bitcoin lost forever reducing the Bitcoin supply causing deflation? I would like to know.
@fornichessate removed their quoted postYou were not paying attention. China made it illegal and people in China still use it. Prohibiting it is ineffective. They failed.
