>The researchers concluded that multivitamins don’t reduce the risk for heart disease, cancer, cognitive decline (such as memory loss and slowed-down thinking) or an early death. They also noted that in prior studies, vitamin E and beta-carotene supplements appear to be harmful, especially at high doses.

In 41 days, the amount of coins Chinese farmers get from mining will halve.
They're pumping up the price to get as much money as they can, before this whole shit-show keels over.

>Chinese panic buy Bitcoin, driving the price up to $500.
>One week later, price has slid down to $330.
Bitcoin going back to where it belongs, in the low $200's

Near the end of July next year, the amount of bitcoins people get from mining will be cut in half.
Effectively halving the income of those miners, which means if Bitcoin is still pissing around the $200's by then, they'll all just switch off their mining equipment.

WHOOPSIES!

>The phony email sent by the person who hacked Mr. Bailey’s computer, directed Mr. Krohn to a website controlled by the hacker wherein Mr. Krohn provided the credentials for his Bitpay corporate email account.

>Bitpay made a claim to its insurer to cover $950,000 of the loss, but in June the insurer declined to pay. Bitpay is now suing the insurer.

It's always fucking hilarious when Bitcoiners start bitching and moaning about "fiat currency!", since they are buying and selling Bitcoins with... fiat currency.
They never talk about directly spending coins, just using them as a means to get their hands on more of that evil gubbermnets fiat.

IT'S HAPPENING!

Fucking LOL. So when MtGox had technical issues, and nobody could trade, they forgot to turn off their trade-bots. Which continued buying/selling to themselves to keep inflating the price.
