Service for those who do not have a girlfriend. It's just a pity that someone can use such an application. Complete inability to meet their needs.

with the help of this service the girl can be found .Of course, not a girlfriend, but you can have fun. And anyway, a serious relationship is not the Internet


Oh, so you do not mind having fun with whores? How have you not picked up anything dangerous yet?

All my ex-whores. With confidence about this I declare. But let's not talk about sad things.

You know, it's at least disrespectful to say so about a woman. I would not like it if my ex about me so spoke. And in general, the priestess of love is the oldest profession.

And what does a woman do in the discussion about prostitutes? Looking for job? Or trying to guide men on the right path?

Think that women do not understand modern technology - this is sexism. Women work in the largest technology companies.

I do not think that sex affects the intellect in any way. This is an obsolete thinking of the nineteenth century. I hope that one day all people will depart from this thinking. Just in terms of intelligence, we are all on the same level.

I have nothing against women. God knows, I love them. I just do not think that women are able to quickly get into new topics.

The same can be said about such chauvinist pigs as you. Lord, I do not know why I get so angry at the comments on the Internet.

Buying 21 BTC now ( at let's say 2000€) Will get you millionaire if the BTC reach 50k.
A really low prevision would reach 15k , and high expectations are going for 100.000.

No need to remember that having 21 BTC will also make you the holder  of 1/1.000.000 of the Bitcoins that will ever exist.


I was wondering how long it was going to be before this came up...

the "21 club" is the new Vladimir Club...   (1% of 1% of all coins is = 2100 Bitcoins)

Is there any reason at all for SEC to wait before they reject the ETF though? Even on 10th of march, it should be obvious that it's getting approved no?

Is there any reason for the SEC to come out with a decision before they have to? Its quite obv imo that they take as much time as they can to come to a conclusion.



They've had 3 years, not sure why they would need an additional 10 days or whatever lol

probably cuz they only started to seriously look at it 5 days ago....   why make a decision today/this month/this year, when you can just do an extension and make it someone else's problem later?

150  Economy / Speculation / Re: Predictions about Bitcoin Price on Halving block ? on: July 06, 2015, 03:01:56 PM
So what are your predictions for Bitcoin price on the next halving block which should happen next year Q4 or beggining of 2017 .
I know that halving will halve the mining bitcoins and not the current or existing one and I also know that the price will depends on what's the price is before halving .

Just le me know and what are the different factors and could greece issue play a part of this .

My thoughts:
1) when the last halving occurred, the majority of miners were hobby-type who tended to hold their mined coins, so the halving did not really affect the amount of coins being dumped on exchanges.  result: minimal impact on price.

2) this halving is different.  Now the majority of miners are large scale farms who tend to immediately sell mined coins.. you know cuz they have to do things like pay bills and buy better miners.  result: larger (positive) impact on price since fewer coins will be dumped.

3) both the above should be obvious to everyone, so most people will actually bid up the price well before the halving.  result:  price spike leading up to halving, but no change afterwords since the expected price hike will already be priced in.

4) #3 above will also be obvious.  result:  expecting no price hike to materialize, no one will actually buy anything to bid up the price, so the halving will have zero effect on price.

5) #4 above will be obvious...  result:  expecting no change, everyone looses interest in bitcoin and decides to sell out now to beat the rush..  by the time the halving occurs price is tanking.

6) #5 above will be obvious...  result:  We're all DOOOOMED !!!!

7) #6 above will be obvious... result:  I have a headache, I'm depressed, I'm going back to bed...

TLDR:  Trying to predict what effect the halving will have on price is a pretty useless undertaking....  just flip a coin.  You'll avoid all the stress and still have the same 50/50 chance of being correct.

152  Economy / Speculation / Re: $500,000 per Bitcoin, baby. The math behind it. on: August 04, 2014, 07:19:53 PM


Everyone will get their old miners back out and turn them on again ;-)

This cant happen, even if the price is 10 k per bitcoin, old miners like gpus or usb will not make roi in years.

ROI has nothing to do with it.. once a miner is purchased, that is a sunk cost.  Once you have it, the only thing that matters is operating costs (electricity, mostly) ..  So long as bitcoins returned are greater than current operating cost, the miners will be turned on.   It makes no difference that it will never make ROI.  At this point, it is about reducing losses, not making a profit.

Bitcoin is the 3rd revolution I'm living through

1st revolution was Personal Computer's which are now tablets and smartphones to many (1980's-2000's)
2nd revolution was The Net the age of instant free info (1990's-2000's)
3rd revolution was Digital Cryptocurrency (2010's-)

The Digital Revolution and subsequent Information Age will be considered a transformation era every bit as significant as the Industrial Revolution and Neolithic Revolution.

But...  Why are you so sure that Bitcoin will be a long term success in the digital currency space?  Things evolve over time and its rare that the early versions or leaders in a space survive at all.

Some examples off the top of my head.  My Space, AOL, Napster, Blockbuster, Netscape, Xerox, IBM...  At one time all of those companies were the champions of their space but its normally the case that as things evolve they are not able to maintain that position.  Normally someone comes along with a version 2.0 that is so much better everyone moves on to that.  Then a different company comes out with 3.0 that causes another industry shift and so on.  The company that did the 1.0 version becomes a footnote to history.

Bitcoin has very serious scalability issues.  It is increasingly less decentralized.  It does not have strong leadership or a lot of re-development happening to address core problems with its long term viability.  Most likely it will be replaced by something else in the not too distant future...

Every example you have listed above is a company ( or company like) ... or maybe more apropriately a "thing" ..  Bitcoin is more of a protocol, and in my view, protocols are much more resiliant with "first mover advantage" .. think more like:  TCP/IP, HTTP, FTP, SMTP ...  While all of these have somewhat evolved over the years, the current incarnations are still very much like the originals, and built up from the originals. 

If BTC hasn't already hit critical mass with the first mover advantage, it isn't far off.  And with a protocol, once critical mass has hit, it is nearly impossible to replace it with a new (even if better) non-compatable protocol.

I read the fund actually opens for trading on 9/1 .. so not tomorrow, but next month....

Also, the $200MM figure is what the GABI administrators "estimate" as the initial interest..  so this isn't set in stone, and they are probably exagerating some.. but assuming they are close, that means they will be buying $200MM in the next 30 days...

doesn't take a math wiz to figure out what that will do to the price...

Sigg

I am pretty sure they said that they expected the $200MM to be invested during the first 6 months, not 30 days, but we will see how it goes. Wink

Well thats it... I'm just gonna sell it all.. not worth waiting around for a whole 6 months !!!!  Tongue Tongue Tongue Tongue

seriously..  For anyone following this conversation.. go with BitChick's 6 month figure.. 

same principles apply, just may take a bit longer Smiley

GABI buying.. nothing special i think, short term pump

OK.. so on the front of pure unsubstantiated speculation....

1) buy OTC, sell on market to drive price down, setting artificially low "opening price"
2) "open fund"
3) buy on market for 30 days driving the price up
4) produce slick marketing campaign:  " GABI UP 50% IN FIRST MONTH !!!! "
5) open fund for trading
6) profit.

So be it.  Wink

approximately $2MM bought in the last hour.. that's just 1% of GABI's expected (estimated) $200MM initial interest in the fund.

Sigg

So what will happen when GABI must buy the other initial BTC ? tomorrow they start trading
