Cash trades are usually good - just make sure to check for security features on the bills you receive.

You should read learn about the risks of payment options, before you start doing anything else. Trading with Phone/Email/ID verified accounts improves your operational security, but you still have to be careful.

Examples like LocalBitcoins aside, I can't think of any way how an electronic fiat-crypto exchange could be implemented in a decentralized manner. Electronic fiat requires the existence of bank accounts since there would need to be a place to actually put the fiat in. And anything that requires bank accounts must, by definition, be centralized.

That's why I'm more interested in the prospect of decentralized crypto-to-crypto exchanges since that seems like a far more realistic goal. All coins are just code after all.

You could make a decentralized crypto-to-crypto exchange, but that's a tiny market and I think sidechains will make most altcoins obsolete.

I only buy government minted bullion. Americans like junk silver, but for me gold maples are the cheapest.

I'm not Canadian, but I own some maples too. Here in Austria many banks are selling gold coins and small gold bars (I don't know if you could sell to them tho)

It costs me 10% to get in and out of silver. ~3% for an oz of gold, less for a kilo.

In many countries gold is tax-free, but silver isn't.

I think you are missing the point, green trust doesn't mean you or someone else should not use an escrow. So also if a "scammer" will buy a positive trust forum account he cannot scam, because everyone know that "we" should use always an escrow.

I'm pretty sure that many newbies could be tricked.

Well having positive trust means that your account has additional value and there is no reason why you should not try to get all of the value out of something when you sell it, that is how a free market works.

There are plenty of non scam reasons to buy a positive trust account, the prestige of having positive trust, the ability to potentially offer your services that would only be able to be sold by people with positive trust, are only two reasons that come to mind.  

What's the point of a trust system if people are selling trust? Trust is like love, if you buy it, it's fake.
1367  Other / Meta / Re: VOD - Abusing Trust System on: March 23, 2015, 05:54:58 PM
I think because it is not against the forum rules selling & buying forum accounts, or am I wrong? There are a few trusted users that are selling accounts here in the forum (for example Quickseller).

I have no problem with buying / selling accounts in general (you can use them to join signature campaigns,etc.), but selling accounts with positive ratings is very questionable IMO
1368  Other / Meta / Re: VOD - Abusing Trust System on: March 23, 2015, 05:46:07 PM
What I call abusing the trust system is selling rated accounts like this person here.

I'm wondering why this post has not been reported and why there's no negative rating on this user.

Edit: Just realized that the person who owns this account is willing to get the ratings removed.

just to lobby against bitcoin altogeather, like they do against everything else that doesnt suit them.

Really? There are Bitcoin businesses and people making money with Bitcoin in most countries.

Do you really think an economy like Russia will be better off by banning Bitcoin than the UK?
1370  Economy / Economics / Re: How many bitcoins do governments and central banks own? on: March 23, 2015, 01:49:30 PM
It seems like this could represent another ongoing "success" indicator.

While some U.S. states are planning to accept Bitcoin for payments (New York, Utah, New Hampshire) I don't think that any government or central bank already owns bitcoins that are part of their budget (only from seizure)
1371  Economy / Economics / Re: EUR might drop below USD on: March 23, 2015, 01:41:14 PM
Now it's 1.09 USD again. I wonder if it goes up again or lower.

Don't invest in gold unless you have a lot of money. It's not worth it. If you're looking to invest in a precious metal I'd recommend silver.

Start with silver. There's a nice silver community on reddit.

it's a long term investment for people who have enough money to wait 10+ years for a decent return.

Agreed, it's a definitely long-term thing.

Keep in mind that there are different types of coins: bullion (typically 90%+ pure gold/silver), collector coins (there's only a limited amount of this coin) and junk (e.g. old U.S. coins with some silver in it).

Most active accounts that have been around and active since 2010 and 2011 probably have made a million or two from Bitcoin.

Most active accounts? I guess I did something wrong then. I had many bitcoins at some point, but I spent a lot of them & lost some of them. Many others bought stuff and made some bad decisions too.

However I was almost broke when I started using Bitcoin and made a decent amount of money in this rollercoaster.

Just because someone is selling msdn key for bitcoin doesnt means that bitcoin will be rejected by microsoft, do you think that if someone sells it for USD, then microsoft will be rejecting USD?

Bitcoin is tiny - and digital currency - not legal tender, if they are seeing a community working against them (it's not like OP is the only one selling keys) they could stop it. If someone sells it for USD the government behind the USD will force them to stop doing it.
1377  Other / Meta / Re: VOD - Abusing Trust System on: March 22, 2015, 11:23:25 AM
Are you really crying a sob story for Microsoft? REALLY? If you think Microsoft gives two shits about you or Bitcoin, beyond profit motive, you are sorely mistaken.

Yeah, I guess I'm "crying a sob story for MS"....  maybe, because I want them to keep using Bitcoin and to integrate it globally.

Almost every company integrates Bitcoin for profits only and that's okay - that's the purpose of Bitcoin.
1378  Other / Meta / Re: VOD - Abusing Trust System on: March 22, 2015, 11:05:26 AM
Is "some jurisdictions" such as Italy the entire world? Is the seller based in one of these countries? Is the forum hosted in one of those countries? Are customers from those countries even trading with him? No? You don't know? In that case NOTHING HE IS DOING IS AGAINST THE FORUM RULES.

I have no idea about the legal situation, however I would like to remind OP that Microsoft is the largest company to accept Bitcoin for some of their products and you are not doing them a favour by selling MSDN. I care a lot less about him violating the ToS of companies that are unwilling to integrate Bitcoin.

Abusing Trust System

It's a trust system not a "rate my service" system - you have every right to trust or distrust any person.

Of course, if you distrust people they will probably distrust you as well. I'm not using the trust system here, but I also see the need to act against questionable sales (including MSDN).

I am not surprised to see Tumblr posts in this article. There are so many SJW posts on Tumblr

If you call for violence against white heterosexual men you're on the same level as far-right political parties, Islamic extremists, etc. - if you want to kill people: join the military.
