You don't think it is possible for Bitcoin ITSELF, the founder and the one that overseas it, allows it to be mined, etc. to put in a mulitple ? It is just like a Reverse Split on a stock. 4 for 1. Or better yet, to stablize it he could Lock the FLOAT. Then split that allowing for no more to be mined. I know in the backgorund he is laughing at it all. Can't believe he pulled it off. At anytime I am Positive he cant put a stop to the mining, allows who he wants to figue it out, etc..... It is not centralized, insured, anything... So somewhere is a room full of techies laughing it up and cashing in...

I am lost ? Is he talking about mining it ? He is saying he got a great Return on Investment on his Bitcoins and you are telling him to do that same exact thing ? Of course you want to measure your return in dollars. You have to compare it to something and until Bitcoin is taxed, or regulated, or insured. Dollars are the only thing that counts. Bitcoin is a great investment if you are in it to make money. But buying it to use.... Too complicated, and to time comsuming. Plus, as it goes up, more hacking will step in. And once it peaks, and fall X % it will have trouble.

Not to be a downer. But it is going to take time and a BIG reset. Before it is stable. I also heard where they think the Govt (central bank) Banks, may be buying it up to take it off the market (so to speak)... Once it gets really hard to buy, and no one knows why the supply is empty. That when they will dump them into the open market driving down the price. Just a therory I read...

No one really knows what will happen.... I am playing it small ball. Take the winnings and roll it into more. That way I am playing with their money... Good luck to ya..

I got my "ONE" coin at the price they set and responses to emails right away. Alex, seems to be a great guy and gave me answers. That is all I know. I am affraid to open my Wallet as I don't want money stolen.  Will just wait for a while. Maybe when it hit 4K...  
For those of you looking for a stock ride. Try DSS (Document Security Systems). They filed suit against Apple. The stock belongs up around 3 bucks. 2Bucks on earnings alone. Soared yesterday after the announcement "of course". But dont let that deter you, look at their chart, read the threads on IHUB and you will see this has a Huge markman coing up in February which will drive it up 2 to 3 times what it is now. Patent plays like this are huge. ANd you can use your bitcoin profits in Cash via Etrade to make another Taxable fortune.

Please tell me what "FIAT" is ? And why can't it be withdrawn ? Let's take Coinbase.. If you bought 5 coins there 6 months ago and they are just sitting there in your wallet. Should I be able to go to coinbase and sell my coin ASAP ? I ask because that is my situation. I hold less, but am curious because I bought for invesment purposes only. Thanks for your reply.

Dont mine, buy hold and sell...

Now that it is moved no one will read it or answer it. Great Work !

I with stupdi, but have one BTC and plan on keeping it until I am hacked.

I think age is a huge facotr, age and tech savy people. I have not met anyone and I am 48. So I expect to meet no one. I don't work in the field. Hell, I still don't know how to use the one I have pending. I won't use it either. I will just sit on it and hope for my number.....

One thing about being old is I have seen things like this before. Not exactly like this, but at some point when the value is too high and the price falls backwards for a continuos 2 weeks to 40% down. No one will sell you one, because they wont be able to buy one to sell you. Up n up... then its over.

As I asked about coinbase and someone said they buy it when you buy it. But what if there seller doesn't sell to them ? What then, do you think Coinbase will be able to buy one at your rate or lower ? No one is going to take a loss. That is what everyone is missing.... Kind of the beuaty of it too. I know no one is going to take a loss. So as long as new buyers continue joining in it will continue going up... LMAO.... It seems no one has noticed this...

I also think once this one is tapped out another one will follow it up and then tap out and so on..

Yesterday people were discouraging their use since the transactions were slow. I see the site is still up and looks like there are no problems. Just wondering who the next trusted level is and how long will that last ? Doesn't that worry any of you guys ?

You buy today and XXX-coin has gone from holding 300K worth of coin to holding 22M worth. That person can now take all coin by faking a virus..

Also, everyone is forgetting, many of these sites got in early. They bought thuosands when they were dirt cheap. Now as the price moves up and lets say they finally sell all their original lot. How do they buy and sell to make money. If "they make a bad move" do you think they are going to eat it if they can pass the buck ? Or just cut and run ?

Or lets say xx--- coin is now out of their original coins. So they have none for sale. Are they only processing the buys ? Or are they playing the money. So they load up with 100 coins today at 900.00. But tomorrow it falls to 450.00 and you want to buy coins ? What then, he is not going to lose 50% just to satisfy customers.

I only ask because I want to hear opinions on it. This is what happens everyday with penny stocks behind the scenes. Someone always getting burned.
 
I can see the day it drops 50% and stays there for more than a day to be a hgue problem. That is when it is over. As long as it runs UP... Things are fine...

How is it recommended to back up ? Just using a screen shot ? Saving on paper and on your computer ?

I would have to think they bought really early and the Taxes will be non existant consider the whole point is CASH !! What I am doing when the time is right. I would take a lose on %, maybe even 10& to do a cash deal..

The more their worth, the more they will get hacked. As today's price lures many to buy and to steal. Just imagine those that lost thousands on Inputs (now what). Soon the wallets will be hacked daily and this is going to drive people away. Plus the fact that price fixing is happening now, different places, different prices... It may be worth it to someone that bought in early. But as I stated before, no one is going to buy one with all this trouble. Maybe parts, or even risk money they already made.

I can sell you some. But first you must cash a Money order I send you from my homeland here in Africa. I am the only surviving relative of King mumbi here in Kenya. And to my future friends i am willing to share such a large fortune. You will only need to cash this money order. You may keep a wealthy sum of many dollars for you and your family. Only send me a small % so I can give it to the poor...

Gonna stick with coin base and try to get to level II

Barry

Me too....

I am just looking for the investment... But the warnings on this site scare the shit out of me... Plus I am OLD ! How do I write Bitcoin into my will... :oP

I buy a coin and want to use it I dont want to do so without an easily reached method. It is way to much trouble to not have an online wallet. Say coinbase or such... I don't see what is the point of this. Maybe a chance to get in on a good investment. But if your not the owner of Virgin Airlines or the winklefoss twins what's the point. A stupid (if Large) invesment unless you are supper tech savy. These guys can afford to pay some of you guys to make their moves. The avg. guy is a long way to using these coins. Thus they will plummet at some point, then rebound slowly. Only insiders and those with lots of contacts may apply...

Everything  wrote about encryption is deep science to 99% of humans, and to me, I am an investor and have plenty of cash, credit cards, etc. Bitcoin is limiting the usage by allowing creative scam artists into the source. So I have to carry my favorite book with so I can turn to page 9 and get my password written backwards ? Oops, sorry, my wallet didn't open, let me try again, there we go... Here is your .00012 bitcoin for my coffee. WTF... It's Cold !

Wish I had better contacts in the South Florida area... cough cough...
