Forgot to post this here when I wrote it. Some old fogies like me might remember the tune that goes with it -- "Cover of The Rolling Stone":
We buy all kinds of pills that give us all kind of thrills
But the thrill we've always missed
Is the thrill that'll getcha when you get your picture
On the cover of The Economist
(Economist...) Wanna see my picture on the cover
(Mist...) Usin Bitcoin to buy five copies for my mother...(Yes)
(Mist...) Wanna see my virtual' face
On the cover of the Economist...(That's a very very good idea)!

You need this at the top of your config:
Code:
[BLOCKCHAIN]
blockchain_source = bitcoin-rpc

Ty. I skimmed right over that. I was just looking at the highlighted part after that. (In the wiki)

Does the bitoind rpc option work with an encrypted wallet?
Yes. You don't even need to unlock it. I suspect it would also work with '-disablewallet', since JoinMarket keeps its coins in its own HD wallet.
Okay, I am not getting this message
Code:
Running / Checking it works
$ python wallet-tool.py wallet.json
First time using a new wallet requires several addresses to be imported. JoinMarket will then exit with the following message:
[2015/03/31 21:58:24] importing 80 addresses into account joinmarket-wallet-2734ec
now restart bitcoind with -rescan

I try not to hold more than 2% of my net worth in Bitcoin. If it performs the way folks predict, that's more than enough to be life changing for any investment, if not, it won't hurt.
If you have a negative net worth, I would not allocate more than 5% of money going toward your investments.

And those stuck with Drachma cant buy bitcoin since noone will sell BTC for a useless currency....
The Drachma will be having some value, as Greece exports billions of USD worth of agricultural produce, medicines and metals every year. But the initial exchange rates will be highly unstable, and it will be a very tough task for the Greek central bank to stabilize the exchange rates (that is, if they have the resources to do so).
Greece has a big trade deficit: http://www.tradingeconomics.com/greece/balance-of-trade
4.5 million Indonesians work abroad. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesian_migrant_worker
It could become a huge remittance market for Bitcoin.

That is a significant number. I didn't realize there were so many people from Indonesia working abroad. Is this unusual for a country? It seems like more than an average country would have working abroad. I think you are right and perhaps this is the reason for bitcoin's recent popularity in Indonesia.
considering the population plus the fact that indonesia is a third world country, it is not really that surprising for our people to search for an outside jobs for more income. the average monthly wages in Indonesia is very low. now I don't know about the whole country, but on my city 70% of the jobs only pays $200-$300 a month (the minimum pay is about $160, in case anyone wondering).
Yeah, plus Indonesia has the 4th largest population of any country in the world. The 4.5m is only about 2% of the population. Just FYI. http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_population

It is actually bad for bitcoin as it takes away the decentralized part away from bitcoin. And it is hard to trust them as they might sell for fiat for their further investments.
But what is the difference from big time services like coinbase, circle, and sites like that? Now I know they do not loan money but I am not seeing what the issue is.
Nothing. These guys don't know the difference between the words "bank" and "central bank".
-C.
This is not news at all. People have been paying with bitcoin using personal electronics for years.
Just another apple fanboy promotion? So apple has a digital watch - who cares?

I DO!!!
Anything that promotes digital payments promotes Bitcoin.

What people forget is that Bitcoin was only at $30 at the start of 2013. Do the math on that.
Oddly enough, at $270, that is a 600% gain.
Coincidence or a sign?
-C.
Update: I just realized this would be an 800% gain. 240/30 = 8.
Why not? They are stable now, this year pretty stable
all markets have downtrends. gold didn't reach its 1980s high until 25 years later.
if gold can lose 50% of its value and have a multi-year downtrend, why can't bitcoin?
Well bitcoin can aswell but bitcoin went from 1200 to 200 in a year thats a 600% not 50%
Who taught you math?
1200 to 200 is a loss of 1000 or an 83% loss.
Even if you do the math from a 1000/200 ratio, that's 500% not 600%.
-C.
I would much rather deal with BTC's volatility considering the pros/cons of the alternative (centralized national money).
How about a decentralized one with continual price stability?
When Bitcoin reaches mainstream usage it will naturally stop being so volatile. I don't believe in alternatives to Bitcoin, everything that's needed Bitcoin has it.
I personalty believe Bitcoin stabilizes in price when it equalizes the things traded with it. If that never happens, then it never will.
When a unit of labor perfectly trades for a pound of chicken or a gallon of gas, with no supply or demand imbalances caused by the currency itself, then that currency will be perfect.
That's probably an untenable goal, but whatever comes closest will win.
That's probably what Hayek was after. A larger pool of Bitcoin may help that happen, may not.
-C
I see though, that after I close my short, I am going to go long on a 2017 Call for 600. I see 600 as a possibility within the next 2 years. I actually see 1200 as a possibility in 2 years.
I absolutely agree that options are the way to go here. But I would wait for a new all time high over $480 before shorting.
Good luck,

After the recent earnings report and reaction, shorting Netflix with March 360 puts is an insane idea.
The stock doesn't trade on PE it trades on subscriber numbers, and the company just announced it will grow their subs internationally and remain profitable doing it. The market loved that.
Nothing in that analysis is likely to change before the March 20 put expiration recommended in the op.
