WTS 9K, PM me with offers.

I'll send you a picture of my balls...

i'll raise to 10k - you send first

Sold!
But can we do escrow?
Or maybe I can send a pic of 1 ball first, then you send half...

Do 1 ball at a time. You may get scammed. If you don't get paid, he doesn't have the other ball and therefor will not be satisfied.

No way, what if he sends one to tease me then raise the price for the other?  i'm sorry i just can't take that chance...

The process has been started. Here is my PM to JohnK:


lol... sorry i have to pull out now. Got overly excited thinking about it all and the moment passed.

I really hope you're messing and didn't send him that message Smiley  

Oh well at least you didn't just go ahead and send the pic to him.


On a brighter note i just noticed the bollocks i mean blocks are all maturing now... so i guess diff has fixed the orphan and reject rate Smiley

Yeah I sent the PM.
Of course I didn't send the pic without confirmation. That material is worth 10k fusioncoin!!!!
I worried John may not want to do any future escrow deals for me now... Sad

Epic.

Why http://pool.fusioncoin.org/fscbtc/ dont found any block?

We don't know but the first pornographic photo sale using FusionCoin is going down so let's focus on something that could actually be successful...

These horrible launches are ruining the whole mining process for people. The last 3 coins I've mined have turned out the same way. You're ruining it.

This coin is such a disappointment. Why can't the dev (or one of the devs, or even the devs mother) let us know what's going on. It's shady as f*ck to just up and leave. Grow a set, dev. Things go wrong and shit happens. You deal with it and move forward.

This is awesome news for Bitcoin in the retail space. Hopefully others will see the success and adopt as well.
130  Economy / Speculation / Re: Predictions through 2016 on: March 15, 2014, 12:36:41 AM
I see us around $10,000 by the end of 2014. If we hit that general price area then I suppose 2016 will be in the hundreds of thousand dollars range.

This is judging by the trend line.

Of course, if we deviate wildly from that then all bets are off.

It's definitely possible. I just don't see it happening this year, but you could be right.
131  Economy / Speculation / Re: Predictions through 2016 on: March 13, 2014, 09:35:16 PM
Nice speculation and I hope you are right. But without having a stable price for a long period, I don´t see Bitcoins implemented by big companies.

How can you count bitcoin as a payment method when the price jumps daily. Just my 2 cents. And I´m no troll, I´m 90% in Bitcoin.

I agree, but I think we're seeing a stable price right now around $640-$650. If it continues and creeps up over the next 3-4 months, I'll add some check marks next to my first predictions in the coming year  Wink
132  Economy / Speculation / Re: Predictions through 2016 on: March 13, 2014, 09:26:30 PM
My anticipation is a peak price during it's lifetime of ~$25,000 (probably mid-end of 2017) and come 2019-2020, we'll see it drop and level out around $15,000

Whoa, that is not a light statement. You're talking about going from over a $450bn cap to under $300bn cap. That's a lot of money. Heck, not even Apple has that much cash on hand (and they have a lot). Even in major financial markets, a $150bn swing is not something to sneeze at. If BTC has as much adoption as you anticipate, a swing like that would have massive impact.

It's just a feeling, obviously, but we're dealing with a whole different beast here. I think it will peak, and then over a few years level off much lower and then stabilize. My reason for this is because I see big companies, fortune 100 companies, picking it up in masses in a few years time which will bring people quickly to bitcoin. Then, over a few years, users will slow down and drop off, and we'll stabilize.

That's fair, I only mention it because when I read that part, tons of flags went off in my head. I actually think you have a reasonably lucid justification for the price points and development along the way.

I agree that the success that Overstock has had will likely materialize into something much more significant and adoption by a Fortune 100 retail company would be a huge step. Although Bitcoin is still yet to be adopted by a Fortune 500 retail company. What I could imagine happening is there being major companies that transact in BTC for the convenience for most people.

Agreed. Once a big player such as Google, Walmart, etc adopt it, I think we'll see an increase in value like nothing else in history. My cap of $25,000 could be way off. It may be closer to $100,000. Some say that's a crazy value, but it is mathematically possible.
133  Economy / Speculation / Re: Predictions through 2016 on: March 13, 2014, 08:18:39 PM
I have done my own speculation over the past few months (like everyone else) and am confident in my speculations.

Jul '16 = $9,900
More businesses and average folks are adopting Bitcoin faster than ever before because they are seeing how easy it is to get Bitcoins and make purchases, and realize the freedom it offers.

Dec '16 = $16,000+
I don't think Dec '16 needs an explanation based on the previous comments. As Bitcoin becomes more popular, the price will continue to rise until demand slows down, which I see happening in later years (2018, 2019).


Explain why the difference from the trendline analysis:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=322058.0

In my opinion, nobody, but institutions will be buying whole bitcoins at $10K, it is just silly to imagine otherwise.
However, regular folks might be buying and using millies (mBTC).
Therefore, bitcoin prices has to be switched to either mBTC or satoshi's quite soon.

It's so funny the number of people in this day and age who don't understand...decimal points.

It does not mean that I don't, Wink
However, try to explain to anyone that they can buy 0.01 BTC and see their reaction.

I see this all the time. When I mention Bitcoin to people who are slightly familiar with it, I get responses such as "Yea I'd get some but can't afford them at such a high price".

*facepalm*

I tell them "You can go up to 8 decimal points out" and then they start to see the picture.

People are reporting btc-e is down and they can't access accounts even if they're able to get to the site. Maybe you'll find the answer to your question soon, OP.
136  Economy / Speculation / Re: Predictions through 2016 on: March 13, 2014, 06:09:08 AM
Unless you can explain your speculation with some formula, it's all bs.
My simple speculation of gut feeling is about $2000/BTC around Dec 2016.

It's not bs, it's speculation based on hypothetical situations dealing with business and consumer engagement moving forward. If it were bs, you could tell me with 100% certainty that I'm not correct (which you can't do unless you can predict the future).
137  Economy / Speculation / Predictions through 2016 on: March 13, 2014, 05:33:36 AM
I have done my own speculation over the past few months (like everyone else) and am confident in my theories.
This entire post does not take into consideration an Alt coin picking up steam and surpassing Bitcoin (because I don't see it happening).

Dec '14 = $1,600
Bitcoin will grow this year, but not as quickly as the following two years due to all of the recent negative press. There will surely be more coming this year, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. What doesn't kill BTC will only make it stronger. We've seen growth through the nastiest news so far (cough mtgox). If the price can remain stable with $550 Million missing, I'm confident in Bitcoin moving forward.

Jul '15 = $2,900
Bitcoin is added as payment options for some more big companies after they have evaluated how it's worked with TigerDirect, Overstock, etc. Some jump on board and open the gates for more new Bitcoin users. Around this time, I see Google testing the implementation of some Bitcoin payment methods (paying for services such as Drive, etc).

(Between Jul '15 and Dec '15, we should see a smooth system to get Bitcoins to consumers much easier than now, preferably by a company with a long-standing reputation worldwide)

Dec '15 = $5,500
After business success with Bitcoin, we have our first Fortune 100 company adopt Bitcoin as a payment method. Sit back and watch the growth continue to skyrocket.

Jul '16 = $9,900
More businesses and average folks are adopting Bitcoin faster than ever before because they are seeing how easy it is to get Bitcoins and make purchases, and realize the freedom it offers. A switch to mBTC might be beneficial, since people unfamiliar with Bitcoin do not buy because they 'cannot afford the price'. mBTC will eliminate any confusion with this for the n00bs. Plus, as the price grows, it only makes sense to work in mBTC.

Dec '16 = $16,000+
I don't think Dec '16 needs an explanation based on the previous comments. More and more companies will adopt Bitcoin as a payment method. Wall Street takes it seriously and gets involved in one form or another. As Bitcoin becomes more popular, the price will continue to rise until demand slows down, which I see happening in later years (2018, 2019).

My anticipation is a peak price during it's lifetime of ~$25,000 (probably mid-end of 2017) and come 2019-2020, we'll see it drop and level out around $15,000

In any event, I currently don't have a whole lot of BTC but I do plan on buying more and holding.
138  Economy / Economics / Re: Predicted Price of BTC on: March 13, 2014, 05:09:09 AM
I wonder what will happen on 3/17 around noon to make the price drop to $318.

I hope it does so I can buy more  Grin

Nice easy setup with the site. As a web designer, I'm looking forward to seeing how this works out. Good luck!
