I did a lot of trading on localbitcoins and never had any issues with being robbed at gun point. However, it turned out that some of the people I was trading with were undercover federal confidential informants who video taped and audio taped our transactions. Then homeland security used this flimsy evidence to claim that I was "operating a business without a license". Believe it or not, operating a business without a license is a felony, punishable by up to 5 years in prison and the belief that I might have been doing that was enough to send 35 or so agents to break into my house, search it from top to bottom and take all my Bitcoins. So, there is your real threat. Don't worry about the small time thief, worry about the big time civil asset forfeiture thief. www.jmwagner.com www.burtw.comthis was done in real life right i mean your trading? if it was done online it would be the same thing happened? i can't explain why it happened to you only, there are plenty of traders that trade in real life using bitcoin without any licence, even here on the forum there is plenty of these guy |

What is the difference between providing a service, getting paid in fiat and buying bitcoin with that fiat and providing a service and getting paid in bitcoin?
Bit short sighted to exclude buying bitcoin..
the price fluctuation maybe, if we are facing a very strong swings play between manipulators, the pric can fluctuate a lot and by the time you buy your bitcoin with fiat, there is the possibility of a small-medium loss |

This thing is coming down faster than expected. Already broke that 'solid' $280 that many of you called.
285 on preev, and 250-275 was called solid not above it, so all your no-sense are only embarrassing to read your prevision has been proven always wrong, did you ever predicted something correctly regarding bitcoin price? no wonder you sold at 10... |

the all time chart is telling me that the june 2011 january 2013 was the longest, from 14 to 2 to 14 again, it was floating in that range
we can surpass that easily, if we have not already....

Bitcoins will be hard for them to stop without shutting down the entire internet. Should a government act against bitcoin, it would drive the price through the roof.
i doubt every governments will ever work together, so this scenario is very unlikely, you will always have at least one government that will not do anything against bitcoin, many have already embraced it, so why, suddenly, they should go against bitcoin without any reason? no-sense.... |

there isn't a good way, it's all about luck, otherwise everyone should've been rich already, but since it isn't the case, if you aren't rich it mean that you are not lucky enough
even those rich guys that who have struggled to achieve their position, they had a big luck somehow in their life, that helped them

Politicians using taxes to take wealth from poor to rich, only bitcoin can change that. What do you think?
I am not sure bitcoin will change that. Countries will want to tax bitcoin as well as any Fiat money out there if they are going to recognize us. We will have to comply with their laws. If we reject this, than they will make us illegal. I am really not sure what is the best thing to do. Taxes are among us since forever, this is the way politicians live. Can we really stop taxes altogether? I don't believe so. Very tricky question! The important question is why is everybody looking out to avoid taxes? if one want to revolutionize taxation and currencies, why not amend rules regarding taxation and currencies altogether? Also, there is already rules and regulations regarding taxes and most of us already do pay taxes when a transaction takes place, other than that they are treated as capital gains. There is a more detailed explanations on the internet, give it a read i explained my reason, because you never know where your tax money will go, we should have the right to trace our taxes like they have the right to trace our money, i want to know for what i'm paying taxes not blindly paying it like i'm paying a lace to mafia... |

Yeah, Kraken is not an option at all. *Due to elevated risk of fraud in Germany, all clients resident in Germany and/or funding from a German bank account will require Tier 3 verification and must also provide an ID confirmation photo. An ID confirmation photo is a picture of you holding the ID used for Tier 3 verification next to your face to allow for facial verification of the ID.Maybe I stick with this anycoindirect site, even if I overpay 20€ ... didnt knew its so complicated to buy few btc  well that's only for germany people, for any other european it work good and very fast, never had any problem with them, i just hope that they will not do the same for everyone, otherwise it might be better to use a decentralized platform like a forum.... |

I know about this method but in my country its very hard to get part time jobs for students...is there any..other way from where I can earn from home..
ehm you're wearing a signature, you have already a way to earn bitcoin, there aren't better alternatives for now that are less risky and less time consuming the only known ways for now are lending buying selling stuff mining bitcoin mining altcoin minting pos coins signature campaign farming faucets farming account trading gambling Which method is the best? signature campaign is the best for me, the more convenient, but i like lending too because they can offer you their account as a collateral, buying and selling stuff is also great i've done it in the past, but you're very limited if you don't have somethign to sell from time to time... farming account and faucets are too much of an hard work, the rest are based on luck and i don't like it, minus mining, but mining is dead if you don't have cheap electricity |

in the used market it work best especially with things that has a low value, it's also more practical and you can get rid of fiat in some cases
it work especially good with things that are collectible

i think you got it wrong, as far as i know this isn't possible, unless there is some new hybrid pos coin that has successful implemented a new segment of code to allow this
mint is doing in few minutes or at worst 1 hour if you open only for synching, then you can send it directly, therefore i don't see the problem here

maidsafe it's a better alternative, they look more legit
This is like saying a 'spoon' is a better alternative to 'happy'. Maid and Etherium are completely different and they don't operate to accomplish the same things. How did the bitcoin community get so many idiots? the same can be said about ethereum and bitcoin(they are different things), so your logic is flawed, no one said that different things should not be compared, this was your assumption so before insulting check your fact first, next time... besides this they still share the same decentralized purpose(both are decentralized platform), so their comparison is legitimate |

probably in the range of early adopters, unless you are willing to manipulate exchange with small volume, if you really want to manipulate some markets it's better to focus your attention on altcoin
they are so tiny that everyone here, can manipulate some of them

i have a theory, satoshi could be Ross Ulbricht, he created bitcoin for silkroad, notice how he left in late 2010 and silk road was born in 2011, perhaps a coincidence but still feasible...
but maybe this was already taken into account as a possibility
For some reasons I don't think so to be honest , why would someone create a Illegal marketplace on the Darknet and take chances to get caught ? I'am pretty sure its' for money and Satoshi should have more then 1m BTC , right ? then why would he create it  Dosen't make sense to me He was looking to hide and not to be more visible and Satoshi was really 100% cancerned about his Privacy even if his IP got leaked from P2P foundation once . at that time bitcoin wasn't worth so much, so myabe it was a easy way for him to rise the awareness and usage of bitcoin and thus his price, i don't know now the whole story of that guy, but he wasn't probably his fault if he get caught also notice how the price of bitcoin skyrocketed 1 month after he was arrested, there are too many coincidences with that fact... |

in theory the biggest number should be 1Y(yotta)^1Y which is 10^24^(10^24) 1Y(yotta)^1Y+1 which is 10^24^(10^24)+1 well i was talking about defined big numbers, i know that numbers are infinite.... like the smallest is planck length or string |
