Life is all about evolution.
What looks like a mistake to others
has been a milestone in my life.
Even if people have betrayed me,
even if my heart was broken,
even if people misunderstood or judged me ...

Can I draw something for you, Charlie? Im drawing and I feel maybe one of my pics could add some colours to your prison life.

Please! The address to mail it is on my website http://www.charlieshrem.com! I will hang it up in my locker! I love Bitcoin related drawings! I need to Bitcoin-it-up

CharlieShrem

Hope you're doing fine Charlie. No easy time you have to go through right now.
I wish you all the best and hope to see you back in Bitcoinland when you cleared that hurdle.

best regards

Thank you!

CharlieShrem

I'd love to discuss the possability, what month will it be taking place ?

Charlie

Please remember, I can't see the content of web links.

That's great!

We have reserved a great venue that can hold 500 people and we have a little flexibility on the dates. Currently, the block halving is ...

Hey Charlie

Sorry to have Missed the AMA. But.....

We've just started organising a conference in the heart of London's banking and finance district to coincide with the block halving in July 2016. We'd love to fly you over if you're out by then. If not, we're hoping to do a live broadcast of Mad ...

Hi Charlie!

It's really sad to see you in prison...
I hope that the thought that people still care about you on the outside keeps you going!

What I wanted to ask...
Do you think that fungibility issues are the origin of all the problems we see now with BTC regulation?
I did lose my trust in BTC ...

Hi Charlie,

did you convince some prisoners to become bitcoiners too :D ?

ThX
-LCG-

Yes! They all love Bitcoin for different reasons. Of course we have skeptics, but as I educate they become less and less so. I got a few copies of Digital Gold mailed in, and even some of the staff here have ...

Hi Charlie,

When you are released, will you be able to work for a bitcoin company (exchanges, wallets, etc), or start your own bitcoin company again? Or do you know if as part of your release, you will not be allowed to engage in "bitcoin activities?"

Best wishes,

David

and what kind of ...

Charlie!

I wonder what the state of Bitcoin would be now if you were out?

My question is: After you get out, will you be LEAVING New York?

Yes! I dont plan on going back to NY at all. We're looking on moving to Austin, TX and eventually out of the country when its possible. If anyone is in ...

Is it stressful to be in prison?

Do you have actual criminals harassing you?

We are all criminals in here to various degrees of course.

At first adjusting was hard. Stressful and full of anxiety. It took a few weeks to get into a routine. I got very sick with Mono and had to go to the ...

Hey Charlie,

Just wondering what you thought about articles posted to The Daily Hash Rate about you:

CharlieShrem

Charlie! This too shall pass!

Thanks for making Bitinstant happen!

You were the foolish genius Bitcoin needed in 2011-2012.

Do you have the ring? Did they take everything?

Any idea what you'll be doing when you get out?

Oh, and... What should be done about the blocksize limit?

Cheers!

PS ...

CharlieShrem

Hey Charlie! Thanks a million for all you have done for Bitcoin.

My only question for now is about access to currency in the klink... I've heard that they discourage use of cigarettes and other naturally-occurring currencies, but of course that's a per-prison rule, I'd think.

Are you allowed to ...

CharlieShrem

What books have you read?
How are you spending your time?
Have you talked to fellow inmates about Bitcoin?
Were they curious?

Hey,

I've read over 70 books so far, I keep a list of course! It includes Crytponomicon, economic related books by Mises and Bastiat and spy thrillers as well. Nothing ...

CharlieShrem

how many hours per day do you spend standing up in the cafeteria shouting out the day’s mackerelcoin transactions?

I eat all my Mackerel lol, it tastes pretty good with some rice and hot sauce. People even put it in their oatmeal! Good source of protein

CharlieShrem

Hi Charlie.

For the lay person right now, what happened that sent you to prison? Did you do something bad, was it bad decisions, low experience, messed up system, too much new ground to break, a few of these or something entirely different?

Cheers

In 2011 when I was 21 years old, I allowed a ...

CharlieShrem

What is the most important lesson you have learned from your prison experience?

So far I've learnt a few important things. I've learnt that I don't know everything. I was a very arrogant person and let my ego get the best of me. I've learnt how to have patience and slow down my thinking. It's ...

Hello Charlie
Danny here at The Crypto Show. What limitation if any will you have as far as the use of computers or the Internet upon your release? Or is that even an issue? You often hear that so called cyber crime have this stipulation attached to a person upon release.

Hey!

Whem I'm ...
