Umm.. sorry to disturb, but:

why was it gold, that you are denominating bitcoin in? Why not silver, or stocks, or RE?

cypherdoc, the creator of this thread sold most of his metal (correct me if I'm wrong) in 2011 swapping it for bitcoins. He has been "propagandizing" that bitcoin would outperform gold and has substantial (in my mind) arguments. Some of them are contained in this article: http://web.archive.org/web/20120403154846/http://bitcoinmedia.com/bitcoin-vs-metals

I think cyperhdoc had mostly gold and less other metals. That probably answers the question?


wow, i'd forgotten about that one. was it a whole year ago?  thanks for linking that.

From day 1, Bitcoin was designed to mimic the characteristics of gold, the one and only true money, heretofore. 

That, plus the fact I sold 90-95% of my gold in August 2011 in exchange for Bitcoin is why I compare them here.  If I compared Bitcoin to silver, the blowout would be even more extreme.

It's quite amazing how the Tylers' animosity towards Bitcoin seems to have done a total 180 from just a few months ago.  Now we're getting ZH articles on Bitcoin regularly, all neutral to positive.  Looks like he finally figured out what Bitcoin really was, or at least that Btcoin articles generate tons of pageviews and comments.

Peter Schiff had his "21 million" moment.

last i heard he was negative.  has this changed?

something tells me there's going to be hell to pay for f*cking around with those Russian oligarchs.

Really.  And if not, they are going to take out everything they have there.  That will do wonders for the banking in that country. 

when do the warships arrive?

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-03-17/russia-sending-permanent-warship-fleet-mediterranean-russian-naval-base-cyprus-comin

Soon, one would think.  Cypriot/Russian relations have been pretty good for a long time - this banking clusterfuck will have quite an impact on that.  I'd expect some interesting developments soonish:  backpedaling, blustering, Turk-baiting, etc.

The saving grace is probably the huge islamic population in Russia.

I sure hope Putin didn't have any major personal stash in Cyprus.

i think the Russians can hurt them in so many ways.

here come the hacks.
10680  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind version 0.8.1 available on: March 18, 2013, 10:33:51 PM
I'd like to update, but for me the coincontrol version has become an essential feature for a better control of privacy.
So I'm stuck with the DB_CONFIG workaround until this feature gets picked up by the devs Sad

Armory will allow this and can be integrated with 0.8.1
