Games are always difficult to predict. If they were easy then everybody would be rich from gambling. There's usually always a shocker which can screw people over but thats part of the gamble.

Why is this anything special? People can already buy solar panels to power their miners. Maybe its something mining farms will do in the future with electricity becoming more and more expensive.

Re: [2015-09-05] Several Applications of Blockchain Tech Being Slowly Realized
Several Applications of Blockchain Tech Being Slowly Realized Bitcoin and the underlying blockchain technology are already creating waves in the financial sector with many people considering it as the next big thing since the internet.
Sadly it's just really bitcon tech they're interested in and not really bitcoin itself. I think their interest isn't going to do much for the value of bitcoin which is sad really but hopefully it can help legitimatize btc with the general public.
Years ago, when I messaged the Silk Road, I had a conversation with the Dread Pirate Roberts a very personal conversation where he was [talking] about how one day he hopes to be on the outside struggling for freedom together. You know, not having to hide his identity. One year [or] two years later when I messaged the guy Im pretty certain it was not the same guy. The tone was completely different. He had no recollection of the events that happened before, and his attitude to me was in stark contrast to the exuberant and wordy Dread Pirate Roberts of the early days. So, free Ross Ulbricht.
I have no reason to believe this and at the end of the day it's just his opinion. Ross was caught red handed both in setting the site up and running it when he was caught do I don't really buy the different person excuse.

Pretty sure someone suggested they were going to do exactly this a while ago. I think any type of cutting something out of your life that you don't need and putting the savings into bitcoin is a good idea.

Re: Those that dream of $1200/bitcoin can thank this man.
and How do you think we will get there without WILLY BOT!
Why couldn't there be another bot? Or better yet bitcoin will surpass that figure through natural growth over time? It will take a while but I believe we'll get there eventually.

Re: Complete the sentence... "I would sell all my Bitcoins if..."
So you will only absolutely sell your coins if they become worth that much? I think you'll be waiting a while. People seem to have unrealistic expectations here. I'm also sure most people would sell long before their estimates. I bet if they shot up to 1k again many people would quickly off load them.
And then cry a year later when they hit 5-10k I remember this conversation from years ago when everyone had thousands of Coins and they were approaching the alt of 30"odd usd
Same shit, different folks
Hehe. People always have a magical number that they reckon they'll sell out but most people are greedy and think of how further it could go then hold on to them only to see it crash at some point.

Re: Complete the sentence... "I would sell all my Bitcoins if..."
A dream price would be 100k per bitcoin then pretty much everyone would sell i think, pump it and dump it, dumping 100 btc at 100k usd would be crazythe problem would be how to move the money after, maybe i would just buy a lot of things before dumping it into the market or do a private broker deal for 100 btc at that price.
Well if they all dumped it then the price wouldn't stay at 100k for long, this is why a gradual growth of bitcoin over time is ideal. If we have another sudden spike people will dump it enmasse and then we'll likely just have another burst bubble. We need slow but steady growth and I hope that's what happens.
I think this is a great idea & I'm sure if employers were willing to integrate or adapt their pension schemes to include BTC then it's a definite possibility that people would be willing to use it.
Most pension schemes with banks or brokers make you invest a fixed amount of fiat that comes out of your wages every month over a number of years (say 30-40).
Why do we need employers to sort our pensions out? We can do that ourselves and I think it's better to save money yourself rather than rely on state pensions or employer ones. Bitcoin allows us to become our own banks and that's what's great about it.
I felt the same like yall, so what I did was divide my future savings in 3 parts. I have been investing 1/3rd of my money in Gold because I love Gold and believe in it, it has always been around from a long time. 1/3rd of my money is invested in Bitcoins because I believe they have a very bright future. The rest 1/3rd is fixed deposits that I pay every month for a comfortable retirement.
Diversification is probably a good idea. I'd personally rather keep my money in bitcoin than gold though as I think there is far bigger potential for profit than gold, but bitcoin is far riskier as well (but the reward higher). I plan to earn as much bitcoin as I can rather than invest all my fiat money in it as it is still an experimental and uncertain tech in my opinion but I do believe in it.The question is does the rest of the world.

Re: At least 45 ISIS fighters reportedly die after eating Ramadan meal
Hardly an accident, normal food poisoning doesn't kill 45 adults who are in fighting shape. Even many Sunnis are getting tired of this ISIS shit
Being in fighting shape isn't going to stop people from dying of food poising, especially if it's a really bad case, though I am more inclined to believe it was more likely deliberate poising by outside agents (especially if it's happened in the past). If people can get close enough to poison food though couldn't they also just ambush and kill them all from inside?
1. Bitcoin is on the cusp of becoming an asset that cannot be taken down. The next bubble will push bitcoin to such large market cap that nothing can stop it. So if there is any hope you could destroy it now is your last shot.
Bravo, agreed.
I'm not so sure. Seems like wishful thinking as much as I would like it to be true. No outside force will likely be able to take bitcoin down but the price fluctuations that happen based on seemingly nothing could be a problem. It's obviously not bad for anyone when the price goes up but it's down that everyone loses out especially casual bitcoin users. They have no real need or desire to get involved with bitcoin when it loses them money and as a currency this is not every good at all.
Locking funds till you reach the retirement age. That's risky and safe at the same time. Why would anyone want to to lock the funds , if he/ she cannot use it in the times of need. But yeah in a way , a future planning is happening.
But that's exactly what pretty much what everyone does as a retirement account or with their pension for example. People save because they need to as when they retire they wont have any money otherwise. Sure, keeping your money in bitcoin is risky but so is keeping it in a pension or in your bank in some cases. I think putting some money into bitcoin could pay dividends by the time you retire but nothing is guarnteed.
They are merely using the blockchain technology and nothing else. Doesn't mean that it will be in direct competition with bitcoin nor will it affect bitcoin price. Even if they have their own cypto what people are still interested in is the decentralized function. Not having that doesn't sound like crypto in the first place.
Would they even need their own coin? Couldn't they just tweak the blockchain tech and use it without it? The coins are just a reward to incentivize miners but banks will surely just use their own computers and their incentive is the money they will save using this system. A bank mining their own coin would be pointless in my opinion and essentially worthless.

Re: Complete the sentence... "I would sell all my Bitcoins if..."
I would sell all my Bitcoin if the price went back to $1000. Then I'd buy them back when the price went back down.
I think we all are waiting for this scenario that it reaches to $1000 and we sell it off and again wait for the day when prices go down so that we can again invest in bitcoin and keep on continuing the process but do u really think it will reach $1000 in a coming period of time??
yeah, a lot of people are waiting for the $1000 mark because bitcoin price went that high before and they think that $1000 is the ultimate price of bitcoin or maybe some of them have bought at 900-1200 USD range and waited this long so they are wishing for that mark.
I think a lot of people are waiting for 1k again because they need to to get their money back. Must be quite bad for those who bought in at the peak. Personally I think 1k is a good figure for bitcoin and think it will get back there within the next couple of years, hopefully much sooner.
There is not even a 0.0000001% chance that his sentence will be reduced. The FBI want to make an example out of him. They want to scare other possible future dark market admins using his example. Accept it. Ross Ullbricht will remain imprisoned for the rest of his life, unless he manages to escape from the prison.
Came here exactly to say this. From the view point of the government, his actions are nothing in comparison to the value of him being locked behind bars. It doesn't matter how little or how much Ross did, as long as Ross's imprisonment puts out a message to the public, he will remain behind bars.
Prison or the threat of it does little to deter criminals, just like the death penalty does nothing to deter murderers. Do you really think darknet drug kingpins are going to think twice or abandon their activities just because Ross got fucked for life? Doubt it. All it really tells them is they better step up their game and protect themselves better.
Uh ... that's not true.
General and specific deterrence are very well studied in criminal law and sociology, and they do have an effect on behavior. Perhaps not as pronounced as some of its proponents would like, but it's there.
Umm... sources? In my country I think 50% of inmates who leave prison end back in there. Doesn't seem like much of a deterrent, then there's plenty of evidence to suggest death penalty does nothing at all:
