Without showing proofs I wouldn't believe it. Half the time its probably just scammers trying to sucker people in by showing wads of cash and trying to get them to invest in them for big gains. Wouldn't surprise me if the cash was fake or all of it came from scamming newbs lol.

2-4 to Chesterfield

Had to double check that this wasn't Manchester United lol. Never heard of the team before but seems like a bit of a rip off

In my country there are sites like crypto de change where you can buy top up vouchers for bitcoin but no operators that accept bitcoin directly as far as I'm aware.

I think having 1000 notes is a bix extreme and they must be a big target for counterfeiters but I can't imagine many places accept them. In my country most shops wont accept 50 notes because of the chance of them being counterfeit. In fact it is very rare to see them at all and I have only ever see a couple in my lifetime. Trying to ban them just because criminals use them is sill though but maybe we should ban banks too since they're the biggest criminals.

Well maybe overnight, but bitcoin could be worth a huge amount is say you could spend it everywhere you could use creditcards or paypal etc. Not sure that'll ever come but I'm hopefully for at least some sort of semi mainstream adoption.

Well how are you meant to buy and sell it? You can always meet face to face and sell for cash. Cash is actually more anonymous in this regard.

Will you continue to stronghold if it goes to 0? I think holders are only holding until it reaches a price they have on mind. Many would dump if it went over 1k again I reckon.

It needs to be enlarged but not to 8mb, the only question is when is bitcoins blocks going to be made bigger and how? This is the problem and I think xt was just trying to solve this by taking the initiative.

It isn't just as simple as using a new address. When you send coins to that new address unless you've mixed the coins people can see exactly where the money came from.

A house only costs 30k in Vegas? In my country even for a really cheap and run down basic house you'll probably have to pay around 80k USD. I'd like to save my money as a retirement account or to maybe buy a house with bitcoins but I wouldn't rely on it. It's more speculative optimism but I would certainly have a retirement account in fiat too so both would be good.

Personally I think it would be a great idea to keep some money in bitcoin for retirement. By that age I think bitcoin could be worth many times what it is now. Keeping the other half in fiat would be advisable too but we all know money depreciated drastically especially when they keep printing more and more of it.

Magic. IT would be very difficult to tell and maybe even impossible in some cases but it all depends on  how well they're mixed.

There is always going to be some edge or odds against you otherwise how would the house make any money? In sportsbooks they have no house edge but the odds are stacked against you.

I don't think it's likely that he's dead. He was still active for a bit and never spent them. Does anyone know the value of his coins when he was last active on the forums here?


He could sure afford one.

Can you prove ownership by a signed message from an address, because that's what a handful of users are going to ask you  .

I've always said buying and holding would be your best bet. I think Bitcoin rose by 7% recently so there's a bit of profit there. I'm sure we'll see hundreds of percent in profit eventually if we have the patience.


Ha, I thought vod was back by your avatar.

What do you mean trust 3? It has three feedbacks or a green trust score of 3? And no, time logged in has nothing to do with activity. Thats how many two week periods you've posted in.

They should try keep their forum presence on here as it's more likely to catch others interest. Their forum was completely dead the last time I checked just like most other alt coin forums so pointless preaching to the choir.

You seem to be contradicting yourself there. Which is it? Certain or uncertain? Mathematics is certain, but the value of bitcoin is not.

Because they're stubbornly holding on to it in the hope that they can recoup their money but the best practice would just be to let it go and recoup what you can. Alt coiners will never learn, though.
