10941  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: On "António Franco Alexandre" being Satoshi on: August 17, 2014, 01:43:43 PM
I don't care about what is the true identity of Satoshi. What matters are his ideas, linking it to a personal name would only show that his ego was above his desire to do something new, and open space to people say that Bitcoin is bad because X Satoshi's opinion/acts/manners/wharever is bad.

For me is more than enough to know that the Bitcoin's creator was Satoshi, no more names needed



Exactly Smiley
In recent time is so many useless posts about Satoshi, if he is killed, CIA agent, single person or group of people etc.
It doesn't matter really.
It's everything about business here, and sharing ''big'' bitcoin'' idea to the world!

10942  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why is people against military actions against ISIS/IS? on: August 17, 2014, 01:32:09 PM
Since the US requested assistance from Denmark by asking for a C-130 to drop Aid for the refugees in northen Iraq, a lot of danes are screaming to the government not to send f-16 fighter jets to the region to protect civilians and to bomb strategic important areas for ISIS/IS.

And other countries must have gotten the same request from the US.

I personally think that we (Denmark) Should send 6 F-16 fighters to help. 4 for missions and 2 backups.

What do you think about military actions in northen Iraq?

I think it's because of the double agenda our government has. One the one hand we stimulate Al Quadia in Syria, on the other it fights extremist in Iraq. In addition, when bombs fall a lot of innocent people die - I think they prefer troops.

Yes, very good point.
It seems that western governments, starting with president Obama, going from one bad decision to other and just creating more political chaos in this area.
They was helping rebels in Syria and now they are fighting the same rebels (ISIS) in Iraq.
Remember Afghanistan back in 1981?
They was supporting rebels against Russians, fanatic Muslims, but later this rebels become worst American enemy (Osama Bi Laden and his group).
It looks American foreign policy is lead by idiots.
They never learn from their past mistakes, there is no long term strategy in this area, nothing...
 
10943  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does bitcoin rise without big news? on: August 17, 2014, 01:19:50 PM
In my opinion answer is yes but this rise will not be high if some ''big'' players don't accept Bitcoin.
Bitcoin will become mainstream and globally accepted when people will be able to pay for many different services and products on internet by their Bitcoin funds.
Until then, bitcoin will remain popular mostly for investors only and this will affect price a lot.

10945  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How dangerous is Isis [Islamic State] to America? on: August 17, 2014, 01:07:05 PM
ISIS is no threat to the US whatsoever, they have no airforce, navy or long range ballisitic missiles.

Best if we send in UN peace keepers, last thing the people need there is Iraq war III.

I don't think so.
They don't have airforce, navy or long range ballistic missiles, it's true but neither Al Qaeda had this, and still they could attack America very successfully on September 11, 2001.
So, even if just small group of this dangerous terrorist organization will be able to enter USA, (maybe even USA citizens of Muslim faith) we will have real security problem there.

10946  Economy / Economics / Re: Someone is buying ... a lot more than in May on: August 17, 2014, 12:57:59 PM
Great observation. I honestly don't think what makes the buyer to buy a ton of bitcoins. I'm a newbie in terms of speculating so I don't know the main reasons why a buyer would be interested in investing so much into bitcoin knowing that the price of the bitcoin itself is very volatile and may reach ath or crash down. Either way, it's still a great deal knowing that somebody out there supports the idea of bitcoin, whatever his/her reasons may be.

Very good observation.
It looks we have some ''big'' investors here, people who expect that price of Bitcoin will go soon up and now investing a lot.
But, such investing is always risky in my opinion because Bitcoin price is not stable yet, going up and down all the time.

10947  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many percent of internet users and overall people use bitcoin ? on: August 17, 2014, 12:47:21 PM
10-20%? bitcoin is skyrocket now so in a year there will be more people knowing it .

Woah, 10% of all internet users? That's insane man, I don't think more than 2% of internet users use bitcoin, and that's still a very large guess. You have to remember the internet is huuuge.

10 % is really to much.
2 % also.
I guess even 0.2 or 0.1 % is also to much.
None of my Internet friends use actively bitcoin and just a few even heard about it  and I really have a lot friends online.
Any way, you have to look atr it from different perspective.
if someone is not interesting in mining or investing in Bitcoin, what is his/her benefit of using bitcoin?
Where they can spend it?
Bitcoin is still at very early stage very fare from becoming mainstream.

10948  Other / Off-topic / Re: How much you spend on the internet? on: August 16, 2014, 04:05:44 PM
I spend to much, I'm afraid, in last a few months, sometimes 6-8 hours per day.
My wife is already mad on me Smiley
10949  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Satoshi Nakamoto be world's first trillionaire ? on: August 16, 2014, 04:03:10 PM
Why do you think that he has lots of BTC. Most of the people that invented some good stuff never got that much out of their inventions, some of them even died in poverty. I think he might have millions but more then that don't think so.

Satoshi's million USD holding can make him a trillionaire, if 1 Bitcoin equals 1 Million USD.

In my opinion bitcoin won't reach 1 million USD ever, it should be the world currency  to hit that value.

Yes, I agree.
In fact, several countries should accept bitcoin as their currency and maybe, in such case, such scenario can happen.
I doubt this will happen in the near future.

Manchester United didn't start well new Premiership.
They lost 1-2 from Swansea.
It's seems for them it's still long way to go Smiley
Not easy job for Van Gaal.



I had a free £5 bet left over from the world cup and put it on Swansea to win  Cheesy. Just put an accumulator on with the winnings for Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal & Liverpool to win. Will net me £100 if it comes in. Also put £4 on two others exactly the same as above but for either Newcastle to win or draw.

Very good decision, congratulation Smiley
At least you are not sorry because of this very shocking start for ManU Smiley
10951  Other / Politics & Society / Re: no, you may not have your gold back on: August 16, 2014, 03:50:43 PM
This will prove to be the biggest scam in recorded history.

Maybe the US didn't have enough regulations. /s

When they need money, government have power to do whatever they want, either legal or illegal.
It's shame that ordinary people don't understand or don't care what their government do.

10952  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin to Become a World Reserve Currency on: August 16, 2014, 03:42:02 PM
Lets be realistic - for many more years bitcoin will be still predominantly used by people whose business is related to the internet. Even if the dollar will crash, major countries would rather use Yuan or Ruble in international payments then bitcoin. Do you seriously imagine gas and oil contracts to be made in bitcoin?



3 years ago no one could imagine dell would be accepting bitcoin, people would laugh at you and call you delusional for suggesting anything like that.
just think of the things that no one can imagine today and will be facts in 10 years.

Yes, I agree with you.
Today's world changing rapidly.
Could anybody imagine that Internet will become so important part of our lives just 15, 20 years ago?
Many countries like  Argentina, Greece have a lot financial problems so they may consider Bitcoin as alternative currency which can help their monetary policy.
We need just one country, one government to realize the benefits of bitcoin for their economy, and when this happen, more countries will follow.
maybe not so quickly but in the next 10 years, why not?
10953  Other / Off-topic / Re: Money is debt on: August 16, 2014, 03:15:24 PM
It depends how did you earn your money and how do you manage your money.
If you inherited fortune and use this money wisely, it's not debt.
If you had to invest money in some business, and lost it, it become debt.
Money can be both blessing and hell, it's up to you.
10954  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How easy it is to KILL bitcoin. on: August 16, 2014, 03:02:51 PM
So what? I think most people are aware that governments could cripple BTC. I don't think they even need a technical solution; simply making it illegal will destroy 95% of use. But, if this happens, then there are far greater problems for democracy (and I hope there will be protests on the streets). They haven't yet pulled the plug on bittorrent, despite the fact that the majority of use is "illegal". For bitcoin, I can see the majority of use being "legal".

The best bet is to continue building the ecosystem until enough commerce relies on it that killing it would damage a country's economy, or put it at a disadvantage to another country.

...

btw you sound a little schizo OP.

Yes true but I hope this will never happen.
Realistically, I think our governments have much more important issues to deal with, not to fight against Bitcoin.
In fact, bitcoin can even help them, economy, if they use it wisely.
I hope they will never attempt to make Bitcoin illegal, this will create a lot controversy and push bitcoin in dark area, and it will be even harder to make bitcoin mainstream and global success.
Hope that our governments will realize huge potential in bitcoin and use this benefits, not to try to kill Bitcoin.

10956  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Anyone following the ebola outbreak? on: August 16, 2014, 02:46:58 PM
Hmm, i hope the americans just get the medicin right in time.

The news is that both the infected Americans are showing great improvement (Nancy Writebol and Kent Brantly). They were being treated with the experimental drug (ZMapp). Dr. Kent Brantly might be discharged from hospital within two or three days. 

This is great news for them but not for people in Africa, also infected.
It's not fair that infected people in America can get the experimental drug (ZMapp) but infected people in Africa can't, like that they are second class people.
I really hope in the future all infected people will receive the same treatment and have the same chance to survive.
10957  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi was assassinated by The Bitcoin Foundation? New evidence coming in on: August 16, 2014, 02:40:39 PM
The Bitcoin Foundation is a very shady group that has been heavily involved in many illegal activities. From allegely hiring hitmen to the "loss" of around 800k bitcoins.

Many murders and "suicides" revolve around TBF.

Here is the "suicide" of Autumn Radtke : http://nypost.com/2014/03/05/bitcoin-firm-ceo-found-dead-in-suspected-suicide/

she was involved with the Bitcoin Foundation and the "suicide" is looking very suspicious.

With The Bitcoin Foundation being one of the biggest most influential entities in Bitcoin if they somehow were able to find out Satoshis indentity which is very much possibile. Their is no question they would act immoraly and either kill him to seize his power or detain him.

From theft in the hundreds of millions to murders the Bitcoin Foundation is a corrupt organization that will do whatever it can to gain more power, I will look into this case more and bring out the truth.

Cryptopaths, Chief Of Police of the CPD

~Crypto Knight~


Seriously?? ... I knew that around Bitcoin there will be hundreds of the conspiracy theories Smiley

But please ... if you are spreading some of them please make sure your evidences are better than 6 months old article where no evidences for your words are stated.

Well worthless to talk about it.

BS - that's the only word that can explain what I am thinking about it.


I agree with you 100 %
It's to many threads recently about Satoshi, what happened to him, if he is killed, CIA agent etc.
None of this claims have any real evidence and all this discussions are just wasting of time.

If god does really excist, then so what? Who gives a shit? He won't help you anyway, why the fuck would you worship someone/something like that?


So, how do you come to this conclusion that God will not help?
Any evidence for it?
How God should help?
Where and how?
10959  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How dangerous is Isis [Islamic State] to America? on: August 16, 2014, 01:20:15 PM
I think that for USA the best strategy is to stop ISIS right now, in Iraq and Syria by empowering Kurds and local Iraq army with guns and everything they need to successfully fight with ISIS.
I really doubt that ISIS can come to USA, at least not as whole group or army.
Maybe they will succeed to brainwash some local Muslim in America for their goals but I don't think that a lot damage can come from such individuals (surely FBI already following such radical Muslims in the USA).


10960  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin could be used to Secure Assets and Propertery Titles on: August 16, 2014, 01:08:07 PM
Bitcoin could be used to verify ownership of assets, as secondary evidence or as a more convenient

way of transferring ownership than paperwork.



I'm not sure that this will happen any time soon if ever.
To verify ownership of assets legal process is required, government offices are included and I doubt that they will include Bitcoin in their verification process.
