Did you have to write an incomprehensible reply to a 10 month old post about something that isn't currently a problem? (fees are very low now).

No one is disagreeing with what you say here, but it also has nothing to do with this thread!
Bitcoin is a massive waste of energy. All comparisons are unfair, as nothing else runs purposely so inefficiently.  Bitcoin could be run on a laptop, instead it uses as much energy as a country.

Google used 5.1 TWh in 2015. Bitcoin is at 51 Twh.
Google offsets all of it's carbon footprint.
Google has over 90,000 employees.

I think that even the vast majority of people here use Google more often than they use Bitcoin!

I don't think that much was debunked by your post.  

1) the energy consumed is a side-effect, you could actually better name it a waste product, of mining.
2) this may be the case, but how safe does the network have to be? PoW may be currently the most secure, that can change.
3) this is a Krazy (note the capital K) comparison. The US military employs millions of costs trillions to run. It too is a huge waste, but it couldn't be done with 1 guy, unlike the Bitcoin network which could be run on one PC.
4) Fiat money is far from perfect, that is why Satoshi made Bitcoin. If the world went cashless - something most don't want - the costs of fiat money would be very low.
5) Other commodities? you mean Bitcoin is a commodity? In which case it isn't a currency? Ignoring that, much like answer 3 - if 1 guy with 1 spade could mine all the required gold/silver/iron/lead etc that the world needs by himself, I would be strongly for him doing that.

I don't see being a supporter of Bitcoin as being a fan of massive energy wastage. Satoshi himself didn't want an arms race into GPUs, I doubt he envisioned huge ASICS farms using a significant percentage of the worlds supply of electricity!
I don't see an end in sight, but it is certainly a way that Bitcoin will be attacked in the future. When cars have emission limits, do you really think that governments will allow Bitcoin miners to use as much electricity as they want?

I have already sold a good percentage of my Bitcoins and now I am just waiting longer term to see what happens.
I was lucky that I bought in 2014/2015 so could sell my Bitcoin tax free this year, I have taken a pretty good profit out of it already but want to stay in the game in case it moves up more and more as some think it will.

I don't want to fully exit, I'd be too worried that the price would be $100,000 in a few years, and i sold at $15k...

Meh, if the price falls to where it was 10 months ago, that isn't the end of the world!

If the majority of Cryptocurrencies no longer existed, I really think the crypto world would be better off. There are probably a maximum of 25 worthwhile coins, the others are copies and crap, even if they are worth over $1 billion!

The prices won't go up forever, but I am more confident of the crash being controlled now, than I was 6 weeks ago when everything was going crazy!

If another coin takes over from Bitcoin as number 1, then Bicoin's domination will be over.
ETH actually got fairly close once, but it was a blip.  XRP is in a super bubble, it will fall back down.

There is so much new money in crypto at the moment and Bicoin has been sideways/down for 3 weeks (i know how ridiculous that sounds) so people are moving into Alts. Bitcoin is still THE coin. Ripple especially is more complicated than Bitcoin and lacks most of the advantages of Bitcoin (as well as some obvious disadvantages)

Its really not a great arguement, he basically says it has no value because it has no value.
The dollar on the other hand has value because we all agree that it has value. Well that's the same for Bitcoin.

Share prices and commodities are the same, markets decide the price. You may find the market decided price to be too high or too low, but it is what it is, it isn't a scam!

Bitcoin might be overvalued, or undervalued, it isn't a scam though. It is a weird bubble too, if it is a bubble. It went crazy for a while a month ago, but now hasn't crashed. The next move will be interesting

I did just that with the Bitcoin Gold fork. I wasn't so stupid as to put in the key from a full wallet, I emtpied it of Bitcoin first, but I lost my Bitcoin Gold as the official website pushed a scam wallet which wiped accounts.

Just be safe. These new currencies often bounce after a few weeks anyway, so you don't have to rush to be first in to sell by taking any kind of risk.

In Germany you wouldn't need $50k per year to study, as long as you are happy to live like a student.
I reckon 15.000€ would be enough per year for a flat share and living reasonably..

Living on Crypto would be more difficult. There is a supermarket that accepts Bitcoin and a take away service, but you'd be severely limited in your options, as well as getting badly ripped off by paying in Bitcoin for a 10€ pizza with 25€ of Bitcoin (more recently)

Ich finde FIFO ungeeignet für Bitcoin, wenn man ein bisschen mit Alts tradest.

Schaut mal dieses Beispiel: Jemand kauft 6 Bitcoins in Nov-16 und transferierte 1 Bitcoin auf Poloniex. Er tradet Bitcoin mehrmals gegen LTC hin und zurück und gegen Monero und Ether usw.
Jetzt in Dez-2017 sind seine 5 unberührte Bitcoins nicht steuerfrei zu verkaufen, da er die lauf FIFO schon mehrmals verkauft und wieder gekauft hat, obwohl die nur in seinem Wallet die ganze Zeit gewesen sind. Das finde ich schwachsinnig.

Here are the 4 places I would look at:
https://www.antpool.com/user/prioritiseTransaction.htm?m=savePrioritiseTx
https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/
http://confirmtx.com/
https://pushtx.btc.com/

be very careful paying money to people to accelerate them.

Hat jemand einen Referrer Link für CoinTracking? Gern per PN

Over react much?

He is clearly joking, he doesn't have your address, he hasn't lent you any money, you haven't failed to pay back.
All of those points show that it is a joke.  He is suggesting that your offer of 1BTC interest is too good to be true.

Go to the local police, they will laugh at you if they read the thread!

Hi klimt,

I have tried, we will see if it goes through in one of the next ANTpool blocks, I can't guarantee anything, but hope it works for you
That is a lot of money to have hanging in the air for 3 days!

So do you not think that you should delete the thread, or at least rename it?

Maybe - I violated the T&Cs of Bittrex, so they temporarily suspended my account - would be more suitable?

You may have noticed that Bitcoin has been getting more popular recently. I dare say that the customer services are overwhelmed and will take longer to respond than they would have a year ago. Throwing around scam accusations because of your fault isn't fair. There is also a scam accusation sub-forum that you should have used.

I accelerated them on ANT pool, hopefully that will help.

The fees would normalls be ok - 80 sats and 130 sats or so, but at the moment they are way way too low unfortunately.

This is getting crazy pretty fast!
We'll be back to November prices if this crash continues for long!

The fees are a joke though, I can see why people would jump ship when the fees are 1000sats per byte. I guess only the people with coins on exchanges will dump though, it's too damn expensive to transfer to dump!

sorry wenn es eine dumme Frage ist, aber was ist mein Personlicher Einkommensteuersatz?
Wenn ich circa 4k€ pro Monat als Angesteller verdiene, zahle ich 26,5% Steuer (durchschnittl.) auf dem Gewinn, oder 40% (der Grenzsteuersatz).
