There is no reason we couldn't try to specify lowercase "bit" for the full names, while also using lowercase "b" for the monikers/abbreviations.

bGLD = Bitshares bitGOLD
bUSD = Bitshares bitUSD
bEUR = Bitshares bitEURO

I'd rather see those who were tricked made whole and the userID burned (I really wish there was some way to re-map the userID's) than learning the thief's real world ID.
Restitution and avoiding future occurrences are of higher importance, IMO.

I'm not sure how this fits into the grand scheme (I believe it is an umbrella to coordinate current Banking, Visa/MasterCard and M-Pesa transactions with upcoming infrastructure for microtransactions, cryptocurrencies and other payment systems), but being that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is involved, this may be some of what he is referring to:

Comes with some nifty initials as well ;-)

There was a thread on Reddit /r/Bitcoin the other day referencing Roger Ver's tweet or posting that he'd been denied a U.S. visa to travel to the Miami conference. (Personally, as much as I respect what Roger Ver did, he basically said he didn't need the U.S. anymore and now he's whining that they won't let him back in when he does need it. Anyway, my opinion is irrelevant.) I mention this here because the comments on that thread really surprised me. Bruce Fenton weighed in regularly on RV's behalf, which was predictable. But while a year or two ago, 100% of the comments would have been blindly in favor of Roger Ver, Bruce Fenton, and Bitcoin, nearly half of the comments there were negative or questioning.

My point: Plenty of people are supportive of Bitcoin and its icons. But there may be fewer 'blind' supporters than we think. A one year bear market + all these scandals is taking a toll. People are willing to question some things now. And that's healthy.

What Roger was saying was that he chooses to no longer be a citizen and pay taxes to the state that imprisoned him for criticizing the abuses of ATF, using his ebay sales of farmers bird scarers as "fireworks" as a convenient excuse (while none of the other 8 sellers on ebay were prosecuted).

Roger's bitterness toward the US government is completely justified - claiming he is "whining" about being denied entry to visit family and conduct business is bullshit.

The politics being played regarding that are nothing but petty revenge by the US government - it is quite obvious that he is being individually targeted, just as he was 15 years ago.

Here's Roger's story if you haven't read it:

The fact that 100% of the bitcoin community isn't completely supportive of Roger just goes to show how much it has been invaded by morally bankrupt boot-lickers who would gladly sell away your liberty to see their shiny new bitcoin investment increase another 10%.
