Title: Wrap It Up, bitcoin Is Done Post by: Bitcoin Sperg on April 29, 2015, 05:01:36 PM I come back after three months to see if bitcoiners had given up and gotten jobs yet, here is bitcoin news summary of the three months:
1. No news (other than bad) 2. Lot's of news (none good) 3. Scams, wasteful and inefficient mine losses continue as they always do, and always will until zero. There is not even a point enumerating them, like counting cavities in a meth mouth 4. bitcoin remains confined largely to darknet uses such as child pornography, drug and weapons sales and human trafficking funds for ISIS 5. The vast majority of people (99.99%) when asked, "do you bitcoin?" respond "huh?" whereas the remaining: "yes that's an obvious fraud" (0.009%) or "yes I have been defrauded" (0.0009%) or "yes I am a Chinese/Ukrainian/Silicon Valley hacker that defrauds with bitcoin" (0.0001%). Let's see...forgetting something...oh yes, price is 10% lower. Cheers! ;D Title: Re: Wrap It Up, bitcoin Is Done Post by: altcoinex on April 29, 2015, 05:05:20 PM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias ;)

You are only looking at the dark side and purposely missing the good stuff. If you cannot see past the price and the FUD headlines you'll never make it.

Every few days there's a topic like that, nothing new. I wouldn't be surprised if it was one of those guys from "speculation". I assume everyone knows this is not for real. Some claim they are paid to post these disparaging ideas, it could be a need for drama in their life, or perhaps a naive attempt to move the market. I respond because I consider it an opportunity to discuss the merits of their claims and help new users to understand bitcoin better. Ironically, I think it actually helps bitcoin. Thanks FUDsters! Your building the BTC economy every day. :-* Title: Re: Wrap It Up, bitcoin Is Done Post by: RodeoX on April 29, 2015, 08:36:17 PM Bitcoin's not done, but the price will continue to decrease, mainly because heisted BTC almost always get sold for below-market price, but also because there is no real reason for 99% of the population to use it. The fastest, cheapest, and most secure way to send money is not a good enough reason? I'm celebrating my 1 year anniversary on this forum and I would say adoption has leveled off. Hard to say, maybe. Bitcoin isn't going to be used by the poor masses to wirelessly transfer money to their home countries without having to pay customary surcharges and fees. Why is that? Are you aware that in Africa this is the way it's done now? I'm not even sure what fees you mean. Who can charge me a fee? Bitcoin isn't going to be the "go-to safe-haven" investment when all hell breaks loose and the dollar collapses. Why is that? I would definitely use it more if the dollar collapsed Bitcoin won't fuel any sort of revolution because you still need electricity and the internet in order for it to be worth anything. Is electricity going away? I don't think it's a fad. Nobody wants to download the entire blockchain to have their own QT wallet or much less gives a shit about being a node. The size of it is too unwieldy. Few will want to run a full node. But fortunately only a few need to. The only good thing I see coming out of bitcoin is more decentralization of mining as the price falls below profitability for the major miners who are used to paying outrageous prices for ASIC equipment that will soon again be worthless. bitcoin scales and it is always profitable. But not for every miner. Like say... Mining. Title: Re: Wrap It Up, bitcoin Is Done Post by: Mikestang on April 29, 2015, 08:41:47 PM 1. No news (other than bad) 2. Lot's of news (none good) It can't be both. And guess what? No one missed you, back to your troll cave. https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7175/6801977117_5e6dbf149e_z.jpg If I could only find a way to monetize these FUD posts... :D Title: Re: Wrap It Up, bitcoin Is Done Post by: nutildah on April 29, 2015, 08:57:20 PM Bitcoin's not done, but the price will continue to decrease, mainly because heisted BTC almost always get sold for below-market price, but also because there is no real reason for 99% of the population to use it.

But not for every miner. Like say... Mining. Thanks for making it super easy to rebut your points. ::) The fastest, cheapest, and most secure way to send money is not a good enough reason? Its not "money." Its bitcoin. Its an intangible series of 1s and 0s. The cheapest, fastest way to send money is known as a debit card. Pop it into an ATM or any retail card swiping device and BAM, money sent. No sitting around waiting for confirmations necessary. Why is that? Are you aware that in Africa this is the way it's done now? I'm not even sure what fees you mean. Who can charge me a fee? If by "Africa" you mean Kenya, then yes I am aware of MPesa. Western Union, Paypal, etc. can charge you fees. Why is that? I would definitely use it more if the dollar collapsed You might, but your desires will be completely overridden by those of the financial sector. They set the safe haven investments, not us. Is electricity going away? I don't think it's a fad. Not the totality of electricity, but there are blackouts and brownouts across the country on a daily basis. If you take away our electrical infrastructure, however global or local, your bitcoin becomes worthless.

Title: Re: Wrap It Up, bitcoin Is Done Post by: OBAViJEST on April 29, 2015, 11:28:21 PM funds for ISIS "The ISIS economy and its fighters predominantly rely on the production and sale of seized energy assets—Iraq has the fifth-largest proven crude oil reserves in the world. ISIS also depends on the steady income it extracts from private donors, the heavy taxation and extortion it levies on its captive population, the seizure of bank accounts and private assets in the lands it occupies, ransoms from kidnappings and the plundering of antiquities excavated from ancient palaces and archaeological sites." source (http://www.newsweek.com/2014/11/14/how-does-isis-fund-its-reign-terror-282607.html) ISIS makes money every time they loot a town or attack an oil refinery. On top of that, they're receiving billions in aid from wealthy gulf states and Saudi princes. If you actually follow either war (syria, iraq) you'd realize that if you put an ordinary laptop in front of the average fighter, they'd cry 'haram' , shoot you, and burn the laptop to appease their invisible sky god. You MIGHT convince a regional leader to accept BTC, but I'm willing to bet each one would think you're trying to rip them off. "funding ISIS" is undoubtedly the funniest attempt to slander BTC since its inception - I don't think any future fearmongering can top this ;) Title: Re: Wrap It Up, bitcoin Is Done Post by: jjacob on April 29, 2015, 11:53:56 PM I come back after three months to see if bitcoiners had given up and gotten jobs yet, here is bitcoin news summary of the three months: You think three months is enough to judge something like Bitcoin?

It basically boils down to the same thing, actually. It's a sort of confirmation bias, where people reason in a way to support their own opinion.

Title: Re: Wrap It Up, bitcoin Is Done Post by: AGD on April 30, 2015, 07:04:47 AM *yawn* I jus wok up guys, wait ... f ... is Bitcoin really dead now? Damn... still alive and kicking, the last dump crashed the market only by a small %, you can't call that a crash phew edit: http://media.giphy.com/media/8J6RCzzl5rPS8/giphy.gif Title: Re: Wrap It Up, bitcoin Is Done Post by: EternalWingsofGod on April 30, 2015, 07:41:09 AM https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=924967.0 this is funny, the only difference is that back then there weren't so many trolls(newbie member) like now, all i see in those old thread are hero or legendary members Well there is always the thought that there are good newbies among them, but it's these spoiled ones that make the whole rank stink. Three months later I think the depression is here for the most part price wise, fundamentally still waiting on the stability from merchant adoption and selling to balance out at a price level. Title: Re: Wrap It Up, bitcoin Is Done Post by: crazyivan on April 30, 2015, 07:44:58 AM Just stop posting here pls and let this thread go away. It s obvious he s trolling and we are just feeding this.
Title: Re: Wrap It Up, bitcoin Is Done Post by: AGD on April 30, 2015, 08:13:28 AM but... it is good for my post count, too, when I can not only dodge the troll bullets, baby, but I can reverse them on the troll.
Title: Re: Wrap It Up, bitcoin Is Done Post by: Snorek on April 30, 2015, 09:35:52 AM Does bitcoin fall in 2015 or in the next years to come? Probably no, because there are too many rich interests standing ready to throw good money to rescue the cryptocurrency experiment, thus preventing an outright or dramatic collapse. But I know for sure that the chances of bitcoin, the most popular of cryptocurrencies, making it as a mainstream currency are now zero.

It's certainly interesting to see whether we're now finally at a turning point. Until now the pattern since the beginning of January unfortunately also matches the typical pre-drop pattern, so we're not safe yet. Today we seem to have left the small downwards channel of April, which makes me cautiously optimistic.

Cheers! ;D Bitcoin's value has actually changed only a little over the past 3 months, but the US dollar has become much more expensive because of the oil situation. Remember the dollar:btc exchange rate has TWO variables, not one!Title: Re: Wrap It Up, bitcoin Is Done Post by: bryant.coleman on April 30, 2015, 12:45:20 PM I don't care much about the exchange rates. Bitcoin was created for ideological purposes. Among its main aims were to weaken the control of central banks and to create a decentralized currency which would protect our assets from inflation. Despite all the setbacks, Bitcoin is still serving its purpose. ;D

Despite all the setbacks, Bitcoin is still serving its purpose. ;D But it needs to prevail in order to be useful. The best and most decentralized, and most secure currency doesn't serve any purpose if no one is using it. And if its relative value to other goods or currencies is highly volatile or only going down, people won't adopt it.

And if its relative value to other goods or currencies is highly volatile or only going down, people won't adopt it. Already more than one million people are using Bitcoin, which is actually a huge number for a 6-year old currency. Recently the adoption has suffered due to various high-profile scandals (such as the Mt Gox robbery and Silk Road). Once people forget these scams / scandals, the adoption will continue to rise upward.

Title: Re: Wrap It Up, bitcoin Is Done Post by: Q7 on May 01, 2015, 01:00:23 AM Not sure what's the problem. If you look at the market, there are still active buying with people demanding for bitcoin. I always think bitcoin is not done until you see everybody giving up hope and stop talking about bitcoin. And as long as there are active members here, you are dead wrong on your assumptions.

Either way, it's fiat money whose days are over. That shit is gonna collapse like there's no tomorrow. Some will flee to gold, others will flee to Bitcoin. But either way, fiat is most definitely not here to stay. Title: Re: Wrap It Up, bitcoin Is Done Post by: Chef Ramsay on May 09, 2015, 04:53:23 AM I would expect smart money to come to these shores w/o any crap. And now it has, so go do your thing in this environment and come out on top sooner rather than later.
Title: Re: Wrap It Up, bitcoin Is Done Post by: Q7 on May 09, 2015, 05:36:20 AM It's done when you don't see people like me and everyone else here talking about the subject and bringing this up for discussion. Until then bitcoin is still pretty much alive. And if didn't notice the price action these past few days it points to healthy growth towards the expected halving next year.
Title: Re: Wrap It Up, bitcoin Is Done Post by: ObscureBean on May 09, 2015, 08:56:36 AM Yea well the simple fact is that you can't take Bitcoin more seriously than the 'real' world around you. At this stage it's a case of laypeople possibly throwing a few unimportant dollars at it from time to time. Bitcoin as a non-conformist means you'll never find flocks of mainstream people heavily invested in it and that's ok for now.
Title: Re: Wrap It Up, bitcoin Is Done Post by: FattyMcButterpants on May 09, 2015, 08:59:30 AM Bitcoin has always had scams, hacks, etc. This is not something new, and it is not a fault of the currency. The reason why there are so many scams in bitcoin is that people do not do their due diligence when using a service, especially people who use dark net sites.
Bitcoin is certainly not dead.

Title: Re: Wrap It Up, bitcoin Is Done Post by: Light on May 09, 2015, 09:02:53 AM Bitcoin has always had scams, hacks, etc. This is not something new, and it is not a fault of the currency. The reason why there are so many scams in bitcoin is that people do not do their due diligence when using a service, especially people who use dark net sites. But this is a contributing reason for the negative media and publicity surrounding Bitcoin that has somewhat stalled new users (some people are just scared off and too ignorant to look into it or just have no heard of Bitcoin at all). There isn't really anyone selling the positive points of Bitcoin - most media outlets just affiliate it with cybercriminals and buying illict drugs. To an extent, I can understand where the OP is coming from - Bitcoin has yet to reach the mainstream adoption it requires to be truly successful. As to whether it will eventually happen one day - that is yet to be seen. Title: Re: Wrap It Up, bitcoin Is Done Post by: jabo38 on May 09, 2015, 09:14:02 AM I come back after three months to see if bitcoiners had given up and gotten jobs yet, here is bitcoin news summary of the three months: 1. No news (other than bad) 2. Lot's of news (none good) 3. Scams, wasteful and inefficient mine losses continue as they always do, and always will until zero. There is not even a point enumerating them, like counting cavities in a meth mouth 4. bitcoin remains confined largely to darknet uses such as child pornography, drug and weapons sales and human trafficking funds for ISIS 5. The vast majority of people (99.99%) when asked, "do you bitcoin?" respond "huh?" whereas the remaining: "yes that's an obvious fraud" (0.009%) or "yes I have been defrauded" (0.0009%) or "yes I am a Chinese/Ukrainian/Silicon Valley hacker that defrauds with bitcoin" (0.0001%). Let's see...forgetting something...oh yes, price is 10% lower. Cheers! ;D Your mistaking "hadn't even really gotten started yet" with "it's dead" Let me tell you about the last 3 weeks, not even 3 months. First exchange is getting a real license to operate in New York. BitPay got 50m in funding by a major bank. (Goldman Sachs) Winklevii come much closer to getting the ETF tradesble for rich wall street types to buy in.

The same thing as fiat, there are many theft attempt as well and people doesnt judge fiat to be a bad thing or the fault of the fiat. The same thing should be do to bitcoin but many people just think that bitcoin are bad because of this thing.

It must be our job to ensure a secure and prosperous future for bitcoin and bitcoin community. WE have to be more attentive towards identifying such scams and spreading the knowledge to everyone old and new around us in this world of digital currency. I'm saying this because bitcoin has given me a chance for a little financial stability and I for one won't let it perish easily. I just won't. ;) ;) ;) Title: Re: Wrap It Up, bitcoin Is Done Post by: desired_username on May 09, 2015, 12:03:03 PM Bitcoin has always had scams, hacks, etc. This is not something new, and it is not a fault of the currency.

Nope as he said it's always moving 'up' and 'down' and not forever falling, I would take a guess at saying he would think that is falling from $1000-$300 who knows though,. I have to disagree that it is not forever falling on the long term, it is a horrible site and it does look like the price of bitcoin will be done/gone/dropped to a really low but that doesn't mean we should pack our bags log out and never come back! Or does it? Title: Re: Wrap It Up, bitcoin Is Done Post by: gloryninja on May 10, 2015, 04:16:58 PM The hype for bitcoin was high during 2013-2014. It has slowed down but will pick up.

If Bitcoin survives (and it will) there's like 90% of provability that the number 1 coin that will reach spread mainstream adoption will be Bitcoin, not some other shitcoin (altcoin).
