I appreciate your perseverance.
I still have NO IDEA what on earth I can do with them today. I have gone to the site and seen a list of companies using them....and can't imagine what I would be able to accomplish if I had an e-wallet with 1000 bitcoins right now.

tough to initially get setup, and also off-putting to people that are privacy conscious (due to financial and money laundering government regulations), but once setup, it's very easy to buy and sell

Well, they are breaking it up into small(ish) transfers over a period of 8 years.
I wouldn't be surprised if they also utilized decoys along with more traditional methods of security.

Brining it over on warships?
C-130's with escorts?
I'm sure they go for the overkill

Our government spends money like an irresponsible teenager with no limits on daddy's credit card and the federal reserve is all too eager to accommodate it, knowing it's backed by the taxpayers, who actually have to work for it in order to pay it back...of course, with interest.
Germany not trusting their gold in the hands of the U.S. just makes common sense.

Amen. The fact that they've done some stupid shite in the past doesn't mean they don't know the score.

Are we going to war with Germany again?
Is that what this means?
