Re: Why do people keep saying BTC is dead?!

Every time, for as long as I remember, that I go on bitcointalk, everyone keeps posting "BTC IS DEAD" "SELL" etc... And then a few Sr/Hero members come and explain how thats wrong.

I just don't get it.

Aren't we used to the price fluctuating by now? Whats with all the crying/moaning about price bubbles, crashing, inflations, Russia, China blablablablablablaaaaa!

Jeez... Do some research before posting, I saw one post which got LOADS of attention, yet the first post was done by paint, with an unlabelled graph which showed wrong data!

This is getting to the point where we are affecting newer members or gullible people into selling/dumping all their coins instead of keeping them. I mean when I come on the forum, I see that its crashing, why would I buy in?

I think we need to stop giving the panicking people attention and focus more on positive sides.


Because many people lose a lot of money betting it will go to moon and it didn't happen.

Re: Economic Inequality

It is the government that creates increases wealth inequality.

If not for progressive taxes, wealth inequality would be higher.  Smiley

Prove it.

Cite peer reviewed evidence or argument from first principles.

Because if not for progressive taxation, rich people would pay less in taxes, and poor people would pay more.
Are you suggesting that rich people paying less in taxes would make them poorer?
Or that poor paying more in taxes would make them richer?
Those are the only scenarios which would reduce financial inequality, and both are self-contradictory.

Couldn't have put it better myself.  Grin
I thought that it was obvious that progressive taxation reduces wealth inequality.

Taxes create more inequality by subsidizing the super rich.

Scaling is the reason why centralization is occurring regardless of what kind of fiat or crypto currency we used.

Simple question. From where I'm standing it seems to be doing neither so I'd like to hear some facts and perhaps some opinions.

Down in inflated adjusted term, up in not adjusted term.

I think that is a later thing to think about as bitcoin still haven't fully developed and years away that we can see its full potential and get a global recognition.

Bitcoin already known by most people at the most basic level (mostly associate with fraud and drug).

Re: [OFFICIAL]Bitfinex.com first Bitcoin P2P lending platform for leverage trading

The mining contract swap offered by bitfinex is a lot cheaper than cloud mining offered by some of the big boys (Knc, gawminers, and etc).

Maybe they should also offer contract for scrypt based and x11,13 based mining contract. Will certainly increase value for the exchange platform.

Re: Julian Assange: Bitcoin is Much More Than Just a Currency

Guess you didn't get the memo

http://bitcoinvox.com/article/1041/satoshi-asked-wikileaks-to-avoid-bitcoin-in-2010

That guy will do nothing to help Bitcoin he is not our our savior. He ruins everything he touches. He is contaminated and should be treated as such.

Don't talk bollocks, Satoshi was reluctant back then because he/she/they didn't want bitcoin to become politicized as such an early stage of development. Nothing wrong with Assange unless you believe that CIA concocted character assassination bullshit

Satoshi is wise to walk away so early. Old time members that stay might eventually end up in jail.

Re: This is why the price of bitcoin is dropping

The volume is such that no one person can "manipulate" the price. Even the Winklevoss twins cannot afford $10 million per day, every day, for last six months.

The number of coin in circulation is limited.

Just need enough money to scoop up all the coins from mining plus a little extra to pump the price higher.
