Re: Free bitcoins for everyone! Yes, Everyone :) *Also TwitterGames* 0.01BTC prizes
I guess you could make the time wasted argument, but thats lolworthy.
Time isn't lolworthy, in the end it is the most valuable thing.
people somehow requested it at some point.
A donation may not be free, but I think that is the closest thing to free.
Giving a gift to someone without them asking, that is free in a general sense.
I'm not going to get into the variations and depth that people can go, but yeah.
P.S. While waiting for queries/downloads to finish, or while waiting in lines i often go to the free sites also. And I enjoy giving as well, however I prefer to be able to measure the effect my Giving has and maximize the value of what it is I can give.
Peace!
- If you base the value of the crypto-currency on the paper money value, you are doing it WRONG...
Everything in the world can be valued in terms of something else. There is no wrong or right about it, it's simply how it works.
I can say that computer monitor costs $150 dollars.
I could also say that computer monitor costs 41.66 gallons of gas. This is because today 41.66 gallons of gas costs $150 dollars (or 1 computer monitor).
All three things can fluctuate and change relative to each other. Tomorrow gas could cost more dollars per gallon, and if dollars per monitor remained stable you would be able to pay less gas for a monitor.
Of course we don't think this way because we simply price everything in the most common form of money we use daily, your local fiat. It's perfectly natural to price a new currency in your local fiat as well.
If you don't agree, sell me your house for 1 bitcoin. Don't base the value of that bitcoin on your local fiat, trust me, it's worth as much as your house.
I didnt mean it like that, what I mean is don't compare it to something that it is to replace. But not in its fullest sense either. Value of items always changes, but there needs to be a point at which something has a semi-absolute value in the future. I'm way too tired to try to explain exactly what it is I mean.
your gasoline theory is wrong, so is your monitor theory due to the fact that you dont have all of the specifics listed, and that is where the problem comes in.
I can get gasoline for cheaper if I go to a different gas station, yes that is how things "should" work based off of supply and demand, convenience, lazyness, skills, abilities, greed, etc.
There are several thousand different computer monitors out there, what is to decide that that particular one is worth $150, it could be an old worn out one... or a defective one, again... I can get that same one for cheaper somewhere else.
Money itself offers no gain to you... if nobody accepted it, it would be worthless...
Gasoline could be used in your car...
A monitor can provide you viewing pleasure...
Basically this is why bitcoin should'nt be compared to money.
What we need to do is create a need for bitcoin itself, a non-illegal one.
if I'm rambling on here, please spare me the comments, I really should'nt post with this level of sleep, however I don't want to forget to reply.
Peace!

I only use bitcoins for the free money it gives. Gambling is just dumb, and this website doesn't pay enough. I can make more money selling electronics in Africa.
nothing is free...
Lots of the buys/sells that happen you dont even see on the site, therefor you will notice the bigger transactions/walls more. What is more than likely happening is that multiple people are purchasing bitcoin at the same time. Lots seem to be wasting it at satoshidice...
whoever runs that site must be making BANK!

I read "most" of the posts above, and here is my take on crypto-currency (any type)
People give them value, people keep the power.
---- Thoughts on using Crypto-Currency as a replacement to current currency
The value of the currency needs to come from the currency itself, once you can trade the currency for the good directly without converting its physical value, it has not done its job.[/li]
[/list]
---- Thoughts on using Crypto-Currency in conjunction with paper currency
anyhow, there is more positives and negatives... just something to give a different angle on someone's views.
Peace!

- Until you purchase something point-to-point with bitcoin (100% transaction) you can be tracked down, even still then you can be tracked down to some extent.
- Eventually you will purchase something for x.xx bitcoins / litecoins ... not the $$ value of the coins (this defeats the whole crypto-currency theme).

---- Thoughts on using Crypto-Currency in conjunction with paper currency
- Paper currency fluctuates in value as does crypto-currency, this un-stable system can make people money and it can also lose people's money (both crypto and paper) solely on speculation or emotions/fear. This makes the money "soft" and weak in times of turmoil and despair.
- Crypto-currency can be controlled similar to that of bittorrent traffic. Governments can analyze the traffic that your sending on the internet and tell what IP addresses are using crypto-currency, or are a node at least. Using new acts that the government (US) has enacted due to "Terrorism" (I have my feelings about terrorism, I will not discuss it here [not a terrorist, fyi]) the government could get search warrants and search your home. Place you on a list that you don't want to be on. Potentially be held for conspiring to commit Terrorism... SAD!
- There are some positives to having multiple currencies, both paper and Crypto, The main being that if you maintain your lifestyle bby using paper currency and only use crypto for your extra purchases like vacations, etc. you can create a slightly better life for yourself. You deserve it!!!! Most people that don't agree with what it is we are trying to do either rely on the government to give them money or rely on people that rely on the government to work in their companies for a low wage to only line their pockets more.
anyhow, there is more positives and negatives... just something to give a different angle on someone's views.
Peace!
Hello, I have lurked in the shadows of your site for some time, recently I wanted to reply to a thread when I realized that I didn't have an account...
So I made one, went back to that thread to see that someone replied with what I was going to say...
Have not had the urge to post since then...
Then, I decided that I want to use my VPS to create my own pool for some computers I have mining litecoin (as it seems that every pool I join gets issues)...
That brings me here, Since you know my background, here is a little about myself.
I mine LTC and I collect BTC, I believe that crypto-currency will be the way of the future for people who don't want to be tracked on every purchase.
I think that we as miners and users/believers can create a great community and drive the economy in a new way that has not been seen.
I hope that I fit well in the community.
Thank you!
