Re: [POLL] Do you wash your hands after you go the the bathroom ?
I used to wash them all the time as a kid, now I don't really haha. Might wash them before I eat but there's no need to wash them everytime you have a pee or shit (unless you're messy) lol.
It hasn't gone up that much, but just because it has doesn't mean its going to go 'to the moon' again. It'll probably be back where it was a couple of weeks ago soon. Prolly have to wait years to see a decent price increase again.
Let's speculate how soon the coming halving will start take effect on price. I believe BTC halving will be priced before actual halving just like LTC price did before LTC halving.
So how soon btc price will spike? Technical analyses?

There wont be any proper technical analysis but I predict bitcoin will stat climbing a month or two before the actual halving. I hope bitcoin will be worth more than what it is now by then though as well but we can only wait for to see.
imagine a world where people do not need to work 24/24 free time , as you would imagine ?
would be a better place or not?

What would people do all day. Look at those people who don't have jobs or money. What do they do? Nothing.
If price keeps dropping will anyone be interested in bitcoin?
Lol. Weak hands with no patience may flee but bitcoin is more than its price today. People need to think bigger and into the future but people will need to wait if they want to see big gains.
Chelsea going to get regalated!
Nah they wont. Like the guy above said they'll bounce back. Think the title will go to City though, though hopefully a surprise team may challenge them. Leicester and Palace are doing pretty good but not sure how long it'll last.
No, it is not. The ledger is transparent and everyone can keep the record of ALL transactions. It is almost possible to stay anonymous as long as nobody knows that Person X is using Address Y. Mixers are not anonymous, but they are used mostly to make it harder for someone to track you. This means that they can still track you but it is harder. However, proceed with caution. There have been a number of mixers that were scams.
You personally can remain anon. For example nobody knows who satoshi really is but they can see a lot of his transactions but can't trace them to his real world identity. You can also use mixers to mask where your coins are going.
Re: Silk Road Founder Ross Ulbricht Sentenced to Life in Prison
This guy is a genius. Just like those persons that the church killed back in the day, in the future this will be seen like the death of socrates.
If he was such a genius he wouldn't be sitting in a jail cell right now. I admire what he did to some extent, but not his stupidity. He did a lot for bitcoin though and that shouldn't be forgotten but I think the whole thing went to his head.
Re: Silk Road Founder Ross Ulbricht Sentenced to Life in Prison
I think it will certainly deter some people from thinking about starting a darknet market, but for most it wont stop them and there will always be people willing to take the risk.
It will deter some people from starting a darknet market and publishing their personal gmail account in relation to it.
But still, to get life in prison for a crime like that is pretty abhorrent in my opinion.
He made quite a few stupid mistakes, but that was one of the biggest and ultimately lead to his downfall. I agree the sentence was harsh but that's America for you.
Even Satoshi can't be aware about every 0-day around.
Yeah but you gotta hand it to him. His pretty good with OPSEC since he hasn't been doxxed yet.
True, but I don't think it's the difficult to protect yourself especially if you set out to do so straight from the beginning. Use fresh emails, usernames etcs and don't use your own internet connection. Get a wireless dongle and pay for it with cash and even if you're compromised somehow there's not much to be found.
That's not going to help him. Read his predicament. The phone wont turn on properly so none of those will work.
Any thoughts? I want to store by BTC safely and securely offline. Anybody got any experience of using trezzor for that? Positives and negatives?
I think they're over-rated personally. If you just keep your coins offline and use a secure computer that's all you need. Just make sure you've got a back up or two and you should be fine.
Re: Silk Road Founder Ross Ulbricht Sentenced to Life in Prison
a lot of people will denied that the silk road bitcoin volume didn't help bitcoin to boost up, given the fact with out that volume things would have never gotten that much exposure on the general tech savvy world.
Who would deny that? I think it's actually undeniable that Silk Road transactions were massive for bitcoin and actually gave bitcoin it's first widespread use and definitely boosted its value.
What is that? I'm guessing no since you need expensive specialized equipment. Forget mining bitcoin as its not really profitable for newbs so just mine a alt if you really want to mine but I'd suggest leaving mining alone all together and earning bitcoins in different ways.
Re: Why did cost of bitcoins surge to 1200 then drop to 500 and 200?
I still remember this fairly clearly. That day, US Senate had a hearing and the price surged all the way to $900 before briefly crashing and China investors started to invest and accept Bitcoin then it surged past $1000. It was truly amazing I must say. Bitcoin was heavily regulated in China and it started to slide gradually. However, a few months later, Mt Gox became insolvent and the price crashed due to it being the largest exchange at that time and loss of confidence.
The price had risen due to several factors. Bitcoin at that time had insane media hype; another important factor was Willy (the bot from Mt.Gox).
The price had bounced back. This is normal due to the fact that bubbles usually collapse. However we survived major hacks over time which kept on pushing the price downwards. We should be seeing a positive trend very soon as we've established a decent price at $200+.
Hope, bigger idiot, speculation, bots, Chinese exchanges etc are the reasons give for the rise. It is impossible to say why exactly it went so crazy, it started after Silk Road went down though, so maybe people thought it would legitimize bitcoin and allow it to go mainstream.
The fall has been a realization that the market size and growth isn't as big as people thought. Adoption didn't increase enought with the price, so it fell. Some whales also decided to get out at the top, which stopped any further rises.
I think the price rise was likely down to fradulent trades by bots on gox. It seems gox (or someone else) was actually trading with coins they didn't have and reaping the rewards and then when people tried to cash out they were shit outta look as they neother had the bitcoins or the cash.
Re: [2015-06-05] CD: NYSE Chairman: Millennials Trust Bitcoin More Than Fiat
I doubt that. I think it'll be a long time before most 'millennials' trust it more than fiat if ever. I think for the rest of the public to trust it more we'd unfortunately need some sort of global financial collapse and that's when people could take advantage of bitcoin but I don't see one that catastrophic coming any time soon.
Re: Self-Driving Trucks Are Going to Hit Us Like a Human-Driven Truck
Most unskilled jobs will be eradicated in the future, that's why people will need to evolve themselves and learn more crafts or trades. Soon we arent going to need delivery men or warehouse pickers/packers/sorters because it can all be done via machines. I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing but people need to move with the times.
