That's all that 95% of the people are into bitcoins for - profiting - which is why bitcoin is going to fail, and nobody is going to make money.

Most people love what they do (like designing a web site). A side-effect is making lots of money. If you just care about the making lots of money aspect, but don't care about what crud you're making (Mt Gox, exchange scams, others losing money, long bitchain), then what you're doing is doomed. People here will soon realize it.

You don't need to recommend anyone buy bitcoin in order to clear up factual misstatements.

I'm sure you didn't mean it, but your words make it seem that you have a desire to cruelly taunt those who don't do as you do.

Was the "I told you so" about Bitcoin in general, just Gox or both? Because Gox and Bitcoin are entirely different things.

There's more to Bitcoin than price action and speculation.

did any one of you watch the fucking idiot on bloomberg tv, today, talking about bitcoins?
what a fucking idiot.
The beautiful Ms. Chang was talking to this guy about bitcoin and his words were as stupid as they get.
He obviously knew nothing about bitcoin and didn't want to know.
He was more interested in playing his fucking guitar than talking about the coin and what he knew about it.
Poor Ms. Emily didn't have the know how to as him the tough questions, either.
In the end, his comments were "Who really cares (about bitcoins) ?"

Well, dumbass, the interviewers did or they wouldn't have asked about it. You didn't know shit about it or you wouldn't have said "who cares". And obviously it is negative if YOU don't know shit about it, huh,smart ass?
What a fucking idiot...........

As stupid as I am, I could have given a better interview (about bitcoin's future) than that idiot......

These guys went around San Francisco, trying to find vendors who accept bitcoin.
The very first one they asked, said they did.
The next few didn't, but what fucking laundrymat is going to accept bitcoins for their washers, when they use quarters.
What you think someone is going to put a 600 dollar bitcoin in the machine to wash a load of cloths?
How fucking stupid are you?
At least most of them knew what it was, asshole.
They said they asked a bunch of kids (teenagers) about bitcoins and they all knew about it, and were apparently excited about it.
But the dumbass you were interviewing knew nothing about it.
Interview the teenagers, not the fucking idiot who was at  the interview table. He only wanted to play his fucking guitar, which we all know has a lot to do with stocks and bonds and commodities.

Chang does that a lot.
She never gets down to the nitty gritty and asks these idiots she interviews the tough questions.
When someone says "I don't want to talk about that, then by god ask them the question again, because now you have hit a nerve and they won't discuss it because they 1) are hiding something, or 2) don't know jack shit about it.

But this was one of the stupidest thigs I have seen her do, yet.
She is SUPPOSED to be talking about technologies.
But today she had her head up her pretty little ass.

When Gox went down my phone started ringing. There were a lot of "I told you so" and a couple "Sorry you lost all your coins"

Not sure why some people are so happy to see others fail. They seemed so happy that they were right and I was wrong about Bitcoin.  Little did they know.

I feel like it's in the best interests of everybody involved in the conversation if I explain things.

So they were talking down about Bitcoin because they heard some rumor somewhere. Had you just said "well, I use Bitcoins whenever I can because it's easier than a credit card, I don't have to type in my personal information, and if the merchant gets hacked like Target did; the hackers won't get any personal data on me. Just because one business that trades Bitcoin over in Japan files bankruptcy doesn't mean Bitcoin failed, I didn't do business with them anyways. I use CoinBase, an American company. Bitcoin is something actually worth investigating, you should look at it with an open mind..."

Then I would say, "It seems like everybody has that great missed opportunity in life where if they could just go back, it would change everything. I think that's what Bitcoin might be to a lot of people who don't know what it really is."

I've changed the opinions of 5 people so far just by explaining logic. That's 5 people that would otherwise trash talk Bitcoin and discourage others, but now use it and support it.

i think there is someone here who bought at 118
hopefully we can see that price one day!

As for people sharing no sympathy on this forum, that just shows part of humanity is dead.

they have created quite a few people addicted to the series, why not milk them?

Well you're not better than them if you're actually feared that "bitcoin network was shutdown"

Time to go back to Speculation and troll more.... Or you actually gave up on that?

and the problem with this and many other stories is:


too many people don't want to poke the bear and correct people or even ask the right questions to get to the truth. they prefer to just let it ride, just to not cause a debate or evoke emotions that someone is wrong.

i call these people 'sheeple' who follow other people based on feelings, that just coast through life and will never be seen at a protest or attempt to confront a scammer and slap them with a wet fish.

.. welcome to the human race. just a shame its a egg and spoon race where people concentrate on the egg 12 inches from their nose.. and not a marathon where people are looking 26 miles infront of them

Spoiler alert
Don't read if you haven't finished the series

Would you like to see a new season of Breaking Bad?

I was thinking of creating a petition on change.org for AMC to start a new season, I don't like the way the finale ended, I put my soul into the show and the finale...

damn, I couldn't sleep for days after the last episode, why u do dis AMC??

just film a new season and make Walter survive the shot and put him in a hospital so we can see his escape and progress to a meth manufacturer once again
also the way he lost his family altough he did everything of that for them sucks..

It's still the best show I ever watched!
But I want a new season where we get to see Walter succeed

Google "Mermaid with two tails", this is also the classic mermaid used in Starbucks logo.

A mermaid with two tails was specifically originated to answer the paradox that "a mermaid is a fish when you want a woman and a woman when you want a fish".
