oh no, no worries here. This isn't ours. Our stuff has multiple things in place to make sure it all runs right.

This is from the bitcoin main chain. This is a screw-up on a big scale, roughly $160,000.

LOL - good deal, because if everyone freezes where they're at ... I'll make the top 10 contributors in maybe 8.75 years plus or minus! I'm looking forward to the party.

Bitcoin is the currency of the Internet: a distributed, worldwide, decentralized digital money. Unlike traditional currencies such as dollars, bitcoins are issued and managed without any central authority whatsoever: there is no government, company, or bank in charge of Bitcoin. As such, it is more resistant to wild inflation and corrupt banks.
