One more problem for bitcoins, i guess the currency will be killed very soon, at least for normal users like me and you guys, but i do think people will still use it in the Dark Net for wtv they buy.

Well, it said they had ruled out murder, and this is an awfully small Bitcoins site (I had never heard of it), so I don't really think this has much impact on the currency.

Speaking of Bitcoin, though, did you see that Satoshi Nakamoto denies he started Bitcoin? His name has long been attached to the currency as its creator, but he claims he just heard of Bitcoins a couple of weeks ago. People are now believing it could just be a Japanophile's pseudonym.

Yeah i heard that too about the creator.

But it's not the death that will cause an impact on Bitcoins, is that other exchange website had it's bitcoins stolen, $600k worth. So i believe regular users will drop it since it's not safe anymore (hackers can easily steal them). At least i wouldn't trust if I was a regular user of them so far.
