Re: What's your least favorite thing about Bitcoin?
by
M8
on 12/04/2016, 09:50:39 UTC
I don't really have any issue with bitcoin itself but my least fav thing is the lack of real world places to spend it. I suppose the confirmations could be a little quicker but it's not really an issue to be honest.

Re: Do you still believe in bitcoin

I believe the future of BTC is not being used as a everyday payment system, but it going going to become a big reserve of value.
Similar to what gold is today.

I too expect the same. Now itself bitcoin has evolved as a reserve equal to the gold. In future bitcoin technology will be used by banking sector for transactions and bitcoin will be used as a reserve.

Well I would certainly hope you're right but currently bitcoin seems to volatile and therefore very risky. With gold at least it is relatively stable in price and always has the intrinsic value of being a usable precious metal whereas bitcoin doesn't and therefor relies solely on what people are willing to pay for it.

Re: 10 THINGS 'IDIOCRACY' PREDICTED WOULD HAPPEN, AND SADLY ALREADY HAVE

I haven't seen Idiocracy in a very long time but I've been meaning to watch it again. I did find it a bit silly back when but it really doesn't seem that stupid any more and actually scarily prophetic. I think 1984 is even more relevant now than it was back then as well so sometimes people are good at predicting the future.

Re: Investable Companies in the Bitcoin-Sector

I wouldn't invest in any bitcoin companie.It's way too early for that.
Bitcoin is your investment.That should be more than enough risk imo.

Who says you have to invest bitcoin? Most will probably want cold hard cash. I think most companies will be looking for angel investors who can pour in a lot of millions rather than the casual investor, but I do agree I would rather just keep my bitcoins and an investment rather than risk them in something else.

Re: Domain Seized: Is this common?

Can they really just seize the domains and along with them people's money? That doesn't sound right.

The US doesn't give a fuck where you're based. They'll do what they want. Though in this case if the seized image was hosted on the sites own servers then this is just obviously a weak ass exit scam. Your playing with fire when you use these shady sites and most will dissappear eventually once they've collected enough funds. This is why we need some sort of decentralized hosting or options like openbazar so the police can't just take anything down they don't like the look of.

I believe in bitcoin but sadly not humanity. If people actually weren't so ignorant we would have already stopped using fiat money long ago but nobody really cares to educate themselves about the corrupt system of economics. Same with politics really. Doubt anything will ebver change any time soon.

4K TV.

Damn nice resolution if u ask me.



LOL. I'm actually going to buy my first 4k TV in the January sales. Looking forward to it.

Re: Celebration when price hits 420

Fuck 420. I'll celebrate when it goes back to 1k... or maybe if it doubles from what it is now to $800. I'm more interested in big companies or industries adopting bitcoin to be honest and that's something we should be pushing to happen and celebrating when it happens.

Re: [2015-11-23] 9554 of Terrorist Group ISIL Bitcoins Seized By Hactivists

I don't believe that shit. Proof it I say! But they couldn't until now.
So this whole thing is just a made up story imo.
This is of course does not mean that IS can use or is using Bitcoin. But it's not that effective for them.
They use good old cash, mostly USD, and of course the good old Banks!!


YEah I don't believe it either. Hacked a bitcoin address? Sounds like bullshit.

Ronaldo is great but an arrogant twat and that makes Messi better alone (though he is a better player too). Just look at this recent interview Ronaldo did http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34737914

What a douche.

Re: [WTS] Hero account

on 28/08/2015, 17:43:09 UTC
It's well-worth the price given the post history. It has untrusted green feedback from a respected member (green Hero). No signed message, I simply haven't posted any address the last year as I thought I'd keep the account.

I'll remove the "at least" Smiley

ISn't there one posted before that? The older the better. 0.5 seems to be the going price for such accounts  but most people will require a signed address or it will go for significantly less because it could be hacked etcx.

Yes you need evidence that they are bad. Otherwise you could just be trying to slander competition, but this is why people should only gamble at trusted sites.
