.@rtrtcrypto: stop replying to jaredboice troll. I think he has Assburgers.
 No please, keep replying. The longer this goes on the less of a shit people will give about you and your crony shills' bearish troll of a thread that's disguised to look like a bunch of bulls. The guy pretends like he's the biggest bull he knows and then he's like, "The Government could kill Bitcoin easier than The Pirate Bay"  "The Government" doesn't need to "kill" Bitcoin in the same sense as [it halfheartedly tries to kill] The Pirate Bay. I'm sure a few diehards will continue using Bitcoin to buy & sell drugs and child porn on fly-by-night Dark Net Markets, even if governments outlaw it, like Taiwan has, or if using it will get you 4 years in the gulag, as soon will be the case in Russia. But governments can prevent large-scale adoption and use, because Granny won't be duped into using Bitcoin, no matter how stupid and desperate she is, if Bitcoin is made illegal & using it means risking a 4-year jail stretch. If made illegal, the value of BTC will plummet & return to the single digits where it belongs -- so that neckbeards too afraid to leave their basements to score decent drugs could continue overpaying for their shitty bath salts fix. If you wish to learn more about the steps governments need to take to effectively eradicate Bitcoin, don't hesitate to ask  |

You fell right into his fiendish trap  makeacake's ridiculously low post count (still less than 19) clearly violates #2 as established by pixl8tr not to mention #3, they don't like to be called out Keep bloviating urself deeper & deeper, like a big gay bloviator that u r #3 Stupid People take offense at being outed as Stupid People, and try to pretend that having more than 13 posts to their name makes them less Stupid |

I don't think you can. Bloviating means taking without any substance. I've added all kinds of substance. Therefore, you are a troll. And I am a Troll Slayer  No, you just bloviated yourself into a Stupid bloviation, you Stupid Person.Now deal with it |

"All of these responses are no good; they act much in the same way his responses act towards your points."
Why are you wasting your time in a forum category about speculating if you think all responses about speculation are no good? You are either a troll or you are retarded.
"The only difference in my mind is that you are stating these positions as being guaranteed outcomes..."
No, the only difference is that I'm actually adding substance to my positions with an explanation that adds specific reasons and doesn't bloviate on and on about how my opinion is subjective and I have experience in GPAA and I don't think this and I don't believe in that and I like the color blue, and I like to wear white shirts on thursdays, and I like to eat cereal for breakfast, etc.. ... .. No substance. No reasons. Just opinions and beliefs.
"Further, he has stated he doesn't wish to impose his views on you and you are arguing that he should be FORCED to accept your position."
First off, I'm not forcing anyone to accept my positions. I'm requesting REASONS for a particular opinion or belief. If you're not adding substance to your views here, you might as well just be masterbating.
"Look over what you wrote:
-The first thing, for example, you simply wrote an entire paragraph stating that the way in which he has written is not convenient for you."
Yes, it's absolutely not convenient to intellectual progress to just state a view in a speculation thread with absolutely no reason why. You might as well not even participate.
"I actually think it would be easier to damage BTC vs piratebay... but, that is for another time."
Where's your reason why!? YOU ARE BLOVIATING
"I hope those advantages are enough. But, there is no guarantee of that."
I have already stated that there's no guarantees. But should I have to state that? Isn't that obvious? Isn't it implied that nobody knows the future IN A THREAD ABOUT SPECULATION. My god, all I'm asking for is SUBSTANCE. I don't need a guarantee.
"Yahoo was vastly ahead of GOOGLE (same for myspace vs FB)... network effects alone are not necessarily enough."
Finally! You attempt to add substance. Yes, there's no guarantee that Yahoo was going to stay top dog forever. But it certainly was used by hundreds of millions of people and made shit tons of money. There are big differences with Yahoo, however, when compared to Bitcoin. Bitcoin is completely open source. It's development potential is distributed. If something came around that offered a superior property that bitcoin needed but didn't have, Bitcoin could be updated rather quickly. So it's not so easy to bypass Bitcoin the way Google bypassed Yahoo.
"Pretending what you wrote is "analysis" is silly. "
You seem to think all speculation is opinion and adding substance to your views is silly. It's fortunate for me that I don't invest according to the same principals
"Pretending that because the network has not been successfully attacked means it CANT be attacked is silly."
I'm not pretending anything. There's been plenty of attacks on Bitcoin. 78+ "Bitcoin is dead" articles from the mainstream media over the course of the last few years is very telling to the actual resilience to bitcoin and the actual agenda of the mainstream press.
"But, to really analyze this is a complex issue demanding a formal paper. I don't think we should hold one another to that standard on a forum like this - but then, we have to let someone else get away with saying "hey, this is my personal opinion, this is my hunch, etc" without demanding more from them then we are willing to do ourselves."
Bahaha! What a bunch of hubris. OK, so let's not hold ourself to standards such as adding support and substance to our views.
I demand much more from myself. Notice that throughout this entire thread I have added substance and support for my arguments. I don't bloviate on and on.
Bloviate: to talk at length, especially in an inflated or empty way. Maybe you can't read makecake. The definition stated "to talk at length IN AN EMPTY WAY... I can read just fine, now stop Bloviating like a gigantic Bloviator  |

#1 Stupid People are often seen using stupid five-dollar words, explaining to us what those words mean in the following sentence.
Add your Stupid People-spotting techniques below. Who are the most notorious Stupid People? And how successful do you think they actually are in affecting sentiment or influencing the direction of trades?
#3 Trolls take offense to troll-spotting techniques, and the first ones to let you know might have less than 13 posts to their name Stupid People take offense at being outed as Stupid People, and try to pretend that having more than 13 posts to their name makes them less Stupid |

Say what you want about BTC, it sure makes a great currency/unit of account. Send it anywhere in the world in, like, about 10 minutes, and still have no clue how much it'll be worth when it gets there.
When will people who say this realize that Bitcoin is finding it's worth, once it gets widely adopted, peaks out on the "s" curve, then it will be stable. Riiiight. Check it, this guy paid $520 per coin today, *still doesn't have it*, and already lost ~$120 wow moving higher, this dead cat really bounces
It's bounced a four times already! Stupid cat. I want it out of the way, there isnt enough space in this market for more than one animal. On other news, I jut bought some bitcoins at $520! Man, I wish there was a central-american exchange so that I didnt have to buy at such a higher price. Considering I'm currently in a place where roads are a bit of a luxury, I think I'm doing pretty well. where do you find these deals? |

where's the fucking cavalry?
cavalry was this am! Things can't go up forever... I was sleeping - gotta get some shut-eye in somewhere. Not easy these days. Don't worry, this is just a bad dream. Don't sell now, whatever you do!! No time to explain, we'll talk more when you wake up. ~A Friend. |

Is it just me, or is our cat is getting less and less bouncy?

I bought 0.00000000 BTC when I first learned abot bitcoin -- in nov/2013, when the price was ~1200$. So, even though my investment was fairly modest, and (as you already know) I have been able to double my holdings every day since then, I am still quite disappointed by the loss of almost 70% of the money that I put into this coin.
Time is money and you've invested plenty. I hope you are getting good returns on the time you've invested here. So much this. I can' think of anything in my life that I have invested as much time as Jorge has in btc with 0 financial gain. What's it like being that shallow and greedy? lol Nothing about not being the sort to waste, at a guess judging by how old his account is, 20-30 days of my life on something I don't like and think will fail with 0 gain is shallow and greedy. Its called not wasting my life... Besides Jorge statement of " I am still quite disappointed by the loss of almost 70% of the money that I put into this coin." is an obvious quip at the people who bout around all time highs. Only shallow and greedy people can't understand why someone would spend time on doing something "with 0 financial gain." Not understanding that also makes you ... oh, forget it. As hopeless and pointless as convincing a rock that it's a rock @Wandererfromthenorth: I assumed that stupidity of bitcoiners was an established fact, which I didn't belabor due to being [perhaps overly] polite. @inca: What is it about 'I can buy back far more coins that I've sold with the money I made, while you're in the red' do you fail to grasp? |

I don't know that I would call that shallow and greedy. He just does not see what Jorge is getting out of all this, and I think that may be true for most of us here. Not 'seeing' how something that doesn't make money could be worthwhile to someone? The very definition of greedy and shallow. |

Before we all get too excited at this price pump, there might be something shady happening right now.
I have had Bitcoin withdrawals stuck on Cryptsy for several hours now.
I have sent repeat messages to their support, and was about to ask other users in the chat if they have had any issues, and I have been blocked.
It is possible this pump has been made possible with exchanges trading on funds belonging to their clients.
If you ain't got the private key, you ain't got teh bitcoin  |

 TL;DR: ran away, red trust rating; on Level 2 default trust: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=40149Hasn't posted since this; Level 1 default trust Is anyone alive in Cryptomex? I've requested withdrawal over a week ago and nothing....
I will check with CMX and check what the status of the payouts are and with Will to see if we can give you guys another update. //DT Try full centences and we might get a rough idea what you are talking about. *sentences I am in the process of trying to grasp the inner workings of the bitcointalk trust system, and wondering why the clearly untrustworthy users mentioned above are a part of the "default trust." One of the mentioned users, Deprived, stole his investors' money and ran away, an act which does not, ordinarily, inspire trust. I have provided a link to Deprived's trust ratings (left by other "default trust" forum members). Following the aforementioned link is unlikely to renew the reader's confidence in Mr. Deprived. And yet, dear reader, he is a part of this august forum's default trust. The implicit question contained within my (grantedly terse and grammatically dubious) original post is "Scammers: are they a part of default trust by design, or is this something that warrants our attention?" If any questions remain, please do not hesitate to ask. |
