if the world wasn't so overopulated, including first world countries being flooded by third world parasites who come in and demand first world lifestyles, we wouldn't need to destroy the planet to pay for it all

What does this have to do with the Dakota Pipeline protesters being attacked by dogs and pepper spray?


If a stream of silly string shot out of this poster's nose it would be something to do with gays/jews/wimminz/foreigns/lollipop ladies.

Auuuggghhhh... Fuck everything about this guy. Tonally.

Nah. He's hotter than us, cleverer than us and Jesus loves him more than us too. That deserves some serious respect.
13123  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Is something actually being developed to solve the centralized exchange problem? on: September 05, 2016, 05:33:48 PM
I feel like Bitcoin is never going to properly go to the next level until we fix the problem of centralized exchanges. I feel everytime a great improvement is made that makes the price go up, it gets ruined thanks to some idiot in charge of a big volume exchange getting "hacked".

Centralised exchanges aren't the problem. It's centralised exchanges run by dishonest or slack morons that are the problem and the Bitcoin users willing to put up with unacceptably shit service who permit them to exist by giving them business.

It really feels like a lot of Bitcoiners still don't quite live in the real world. Would you put your life savings in dollars into a bank on another continent with unclear ownership, no regulation, no proven reserves, no physical address, no proper contact details and no transparent security arrangements? I would not. I won't do it with Bitcoin either.

If an exchange was run by NASDAQ then there wouldn't be any major problems. Gox was a no brainer. Bitfinex was a no brainer. Neither are professional or regulated organisations.

More LN tantalisation. I cannae wait to see something fully operational to see whether it was put together by geniuses or goats.

What about tweeting them? That often gets faster results too I'm told. I wouldn't have a clue as I've never used it.

Utter balls.

Most of the advertising would be ponzis and phishing just as it is in the West. Now if they were banning searches and search results, then that's going to have some proper impact.
13127  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Mycelium may introduce automatic coin tumbling in a new wallet on: August 31, 2016, 10:33:21 PM
I make plenty of use of Mycelium. It's a great project and it's only going to get better. They're developing a lot of new toys. Stuff like this is very necessary to help get more people on side and on board. Long may they continue.
13128  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Circle Support - Trash on: August 31, 2016, 10:25:43 PM
So do you mean Coinbase or Circle?

I had a bit of trouble with Circle a while back and it got sorted via email very quickly.

If it's either of them you could try starting a thread on r/bitcoin. They love bashing them there and you'll almost certainly get someone from either company shamed into piping up.
13129  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why price of Bitcoin too stable? on: August 31, 2016, 10:16:30 PM
Why does everyone think Bitcoin is going to go over $10,000 a unit when gold, platinum, silver, palladium and rhodium haven't done that just from worldwide investor pushing. A hell of a lot more people trade in precious metals than Bitcoin so I really can't see it happening.


Dude, seriously?

There will only ever be a tad under 21 million bitcoins. There are currently just under 6 BILLION ounces of gold and that will keep on rising.

Can you see where I'm going with this?
13130  Economy / Economics / Re: When was the last time Bitcoin prices have remain stagnant & peaceful for 3 wks? on: August 31, 2016, 08:17:11 PM
stability is good for a currency to be useful so if it never changed in price from here for the rest of our lives it is a good thing.

It may be a currency for some, for everyone else it's a speculative vehicle still. And if it was guaranteed not to budge from this moment on then before you know it it flies downwards as everyone abandons it. It only got to this level because of speculation. The utility follows it.

And if Bitcoin achieves its ultimate aim then the price must keep on rising due to deflation and the inflation of the other currencies it's valued in.

However, there isn't much to be expected, since the perpetrator was a white male.

Well, I never knew that white people had the right to murder anyone they liked in the US. That's going to add a significant pinch of spicy fun to my next holiday there.
13132  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2016-08-29]Brexit: London’s Fintech Sector is Falling Down on: August 31, 2016, 08:05:34 PM
What fallout? The stumble in the FTSE has largely been erased, and other than their current decline in the GBP compared to other currencies, things aren't going to hell in a handbasket as the "Remain" camp inferred would happen.

How it can go to hell when the route is unknown so far? We don't know if the City retains a financial passport, whether we're in some type of single market or not, whether everyone who's currently here will move wholesale to Ireland or elsewhere. The strife hasn't even started to begin. It's going to take many years for the fallout to be absorbed and understood.
13133  Economy / Speculation / Re: CNY and JPY have enjoyed 90% share of trading market on: August 31, 2016, 07:56:34 PM
I had no idea that such a thing as a 0% fee exchange existed. Is it really free to exchange coins?
If so, how would a business like this turn a profit?

Yes, it's free to trade. I assume they make their money from fees on margin trading, perhaps charging withdrawal fees and of course front running their customers.
13134  Economy / Speculation / Re: Quick Survey: When will you Sell your Bitcoin? on: August 31, 2016, 07:49:50 PM
I don't intend to ever sell it. I only want to spend it.

My cutoff date is somewhere around 2020. If it hasn't gained some decent ground by that point then I don't believe it ever will so I'll probably cut and run. There's incredible potential still but plenty of potential to fuck up as well.

And by decent ground I don't mean your grandma using it down the cornershop, I mean some proper scaling, ETFs and the like and some kind of incentive for people to actually make use of it beyond ideology.
13135  Economy / Speculation / Re: CNY and JPY have enjoyed 90% share of trading market on: August 31, 2016, 07:44:08 PM
Is it not already a known fact that the exchanges with 0% fees trade with themselves in order to create fake volume? The CEO of Bitcoin China already said this about Okcoin. Okcoin is already known to be creating fake volume. So it will not come as a surprise that the other exchanges that have 0% fees are creating fake volume too.

It's been proposed enough times but I don't know if it's been comprehensively proven. I remember some ex OKcoin employee saying they were told to keep it churning. There's nothing stopping them from doing so however there are probably enough traders ready to ping coins back and forth for it not to be a necessity.

Which part of the world are you in? Are you willing to post internationally if it's necessary?
13137  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Tech marketplaces on: August 31, 2016, 07:36:12 PM
Much depends on what country you're in. If you're in the US you have a ton of options with people who take it directly or via gift cards. If you live in Turkmenistan then you've got problems.
13138  Other / Off-topic / Re: How long you in bitcoin world? on: August 31, 2016, 07:29:00 PM
Mid 2013 or so for me. I first encountered it in 2009 but it only registered for a few minutes. Do I regret that? What do you think?
13139  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2016-08-31] Why 1/3 of all bitcoin exchanges since 2009 were hacked on: August 31, 2016, 05:08:06 PM
It would be nice to see one complete and thorough breakdown of how some of these hacks happened. The problem is that most of these exchanges are run by kids and used by people who've never traded anything else before without the brains to think things through properly. Expectations and standards are low and temptations on the part of the exchange owners are sky high.
13140  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2016-08-29]Brexit: London’s Fintech Sector is Falling Down on: August 31, 2016, 05:01:55 PM
I think we'll have to wait and see about the consequences of this. No one knows what form it's going to take yet. Bizarre that a bunch of pissed off nobodies oop North have managed to fuck the only part of the country that generates enough to pay their dole and keep their services open.

The move to Berlin is an interesting one. It would be nice for politicos to be taught a lesson about keeping living costs under control.
