Quoted from Astropin:I'm not entirely sure they are required to respond at all.
They could be too busy stuffing their escape helicopter with black duffel bags full of USD and filling up with enough fuel to reach an island in the Pacific without US extradition rights?

The technology underlying Bitcoin is slowly improving.

Bitcoin/Blockchain was supposed to be a response to the 2008 failure of Big Banks and Government Regulation.
Now the crytpo enthusiasts "investors" are seemingly cheerleading the involvement of Wall Street and the CFTC.
Satoshi Nakamato is probably spinning hashing in his grave.
Quoted from Soulrider911:Just an FYI there is no “Satoshi Nakamato”... it was just a name used by a group or the individual (unlikely) that wrote th first blockchain database.

Somebody is buying up a bunch of Bitcoins? That's one of the largest wallets out there. Speculation is that it could belong to the exchange Bitfinex.
I'm not sure if that's their own fund of coins (maybe the supposed cache of USD that is supposed to be backing Tether 1-for-1) or if that's the cold storage wallet that represents the buyers at the Bitcoin exchange (who have left their coins 'on the exchange')?
Or is it Wall Street traders looking to pump and dump?
Any ideas?
