Unless god rode down to earth on a lightning bolt and handed you a fat stack of cash, it was probably someone else helping you.

It would be nice though if we could just whisper to ourselves quietly and make things happen but that's called fantasy.



Unless God tells you in the Bible that this is the way He does things, you don't know whether or not is is the truth.

Cool

Oh yes, I forgot. God does things by not being involved at all.

God is involved in everything, via cause and effect.    Cool

You should convert to varnashrama dharma before it's too late for you.

Varnashrama-dharma should convert to Christianity before it's too late.

Cool

They were first. They win the god contest.

Who in the world controls the bitcoin? I don't understand where it appeared and how it began to be one of the official currencies?
Who controls the course of Bitcoin?
Everyone in this world control the bitcoin , User who had bitcoin from their bitcoin wallet and also those traders who buy and sell into market, and Iknow in USA has the biggest population who uses bitcoin also china and those friendly countries who had billions of users.
yes anyone who has the amount of bitcoins in their wallets is his property and he is controlling that amount of bitcoin, but not a single country a single person or a group of people can control the whole bitcoin.
It would not make much sense to say that Bitcoin is a decentralized currency if there were only one entity, or a small group of people, in control of the network. What makes Bitcoin to have the value it has today is the fact that users have the possibility of being the only people controlling their own money, and this is only possible in a decentralized network.

If by "users" you mean Chinese, then I agree.
We cannot avoid that fact isnt' it? Chinese is the largest bitcoin holder
They have the largest bitcoin mining farm around the world , a lot of support and they did it since bitcoin firat time come up
Can you imagine how much bitcoin they hold so far?
The sure thing is they can actually play with market and pump/dump as they wish.

You're right, they can. Take a look.

1427  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: btc china fake volumes on: January 15, 2017, 10:11:23 PM
It's as if this news isn't already a known fact. Smiley

Chinese exchanges have been known to fake volumes primarily to attract traders and to show other parts of the world that something big is happening in their exchanges. and because of those, the Western exchanges tend to follow suit most of the time. Also, 0 fees on trades? It's definitely a profit most of the time.

Trading in China isn't free. I don't know who started that bullshit but it's not true.

https://www.btcc.com/fees  This means trading "交易". Look under this category to find the cost of trades and other services. It's very reasonable but it's not free. All other service costs are there too. With the volume they have they are making plenty of money. 

If the volume is fake it's not far off. All you need to do to know the volume is close to accurate is look at the estimated USD transaction value for all exchanges combined, the current USD exchange rate, daily number of transactions, the market cap and the exchange volume distribution.

"Megaupload 2.0 Will Link File Transfers to Bitcoin Transactions"

Would this really come out like how he want's it to? So.. I think pretty much files would need btc payments i think.

Additional info: https://torrentfreak.com/megaupload-2-0-will-link-file-transfers-bitcoin-transactions-160805/



Wow,pretty interesting image.Do you have more images like this one?

Anyway,i don`t think that this business model will work.

Megaupload users love freebies and won`t pay btc for files.

I love that image too. It would be a little more accurate if they would show Kim Schmitz holding a burger and fries in one hand and a whole cheesecake in the other. LOL

He'll finally lose the weight in 2017 when the U.S. extradites him and puts him in a federal prison.
1429  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does anyone "Day Trade" Bitcoin on: January 15, 2017, 04:49:21 PM
Hello everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone buys and sells bitcoin like a day trader. Like maybe watching for a small gain, selling a few, watching for a small dip, buying back more from what you just sold, and so on.

Are there any reliable sites for this?

Thanks in advance for all who offer insightful advice.
Not daily but i will sell my bitcoin if the price is increase yeah buy low sell high even it's small profit, better than never. I focused on how to make steady income by trading, sometimes i lose but not a big deal since i know it's one of the risk in trading.
there are reliable sites out there like bittrex, poloniex and ccex i highly recommend those sites, i personally trade on our local exchanger trading bitcoin to our local currency so those profit i can send them to my local bank.


Yeah that's the idea, many, small profitable trades can outperform one large one. I'm also looking for a way to automate my trades so I don't have to watch for price swings myself. I heard a few people mention trading bots running on certain exchanges. Do we get to "input" our trading buy/sell criteria into these bots? Are they trustworthy?

That's exactly how they work. Yeah, they're trustworthy because they're open source. Try one of these: https://sourceforge.net/directory/?q=bitcoin+trading+bot

There are bots available for almost every exchange.

I'd love to learn what the real Chinese market volume is.

it certainly is more than western exchange's volume but not by the current amount they are reporting.

it is more only because of a couple of reasons. the most important reason is that they have 0 fee for trades which makes any kind of trade profitable.
also the other reason is that Chinese are known to be traders, and there are lots of them who are trading and that makes a bigger volume.

with that said i say it is only 20% more!

I think "only 20%" may be a little off. Take a look at the "volume" column.

I think what I'm actually trying to imply in "pussy" terms is that Trump is a fucking clown

~snipped~

Well, this seems to be mostly a conspiracy theory on your side

I'm not defending Trump, to make things clear right at the start. I'm just analyzing your theory. First, Trump is not an Idaho farmer, he is a New York construction tycoon after all, who was born and raised in Queens at that (a New York borough for those who don't know). So you can't possibly claim that he is a wealthy redneck from Idaho or any such place by any means. It seems that you draw this conclusion based on his look, i.e. from his red face as if it were weather-beaten. Second, Trump may look and behave like a clown, but to get better understanding of his inner self you may want to read his earlier interviews which he gave long before his presidential campaign. I refer mostly to his 1990 Playboy magazine interview. He doesn't look or speak like a clown in it

Magazines articles aren't captured live like recorded footage. They're easier to pay someone to fake. I didn't mean he was an Idaho farmer. I meant I wouldn't trust him to run the country any more than I would trust a wealthy farmer. Neither have the experience. Only a fool or a ringer would say the things he said during the election.

I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. I think he's a ringer for the Clintons but you're right maybe he's just a fool that can't control his own tongue

Some logic lacks in your reasoning

You say that he doesn't have the experience as a POTUS. But you can't possibly say that he lacks experience as a businessman. This basically means that in no case you can claim he is a fool either since "a fool and his money are soon parted". He is told to have gone for bankruptcy 4 times, but I guess he was just hiding his wealth from the IRS. Given he is not in jail (and as far as I know has never even been close to), we should decidedly admit that he is a smart guy after all, despite all his defiant rhetoric (few can mess with the IRS and not get under press eventually). So, can't he really control his own tongue as he appears to be?

No, going bankrupt over and over means he's not a good businessman.

You should probably read this before you keep defending him. Your defense of Trump is making you look out of touch with reality. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/06/30/the-dumbest-stuff-donald-trump-has-ever-said.html

Perhaps the bitcoin community should be looking to solve some problems in the present rather than thinking too much of the future. With just one problem here in the present that can exterminate bitcoin then we wont be seeing that 20 years from now.

That's kind of depressing. How old are you?

I can't believe bitcoin beat drones and smart homes. What a silly list of random shit.

After thinking about it , I guess this is not really a serious article and the fact that they spoke about BTC wallet instead of other known wallets such as Blockchain.info or even coinbase makes me think that Its a sponsored article .

Lifehack.org is not exactly a well respected mainstream media outlet. They are kind of a campy, technonerd version of a popular mechanics magazine. Any media attention Bitcoin gets that's positive is good. However, their comparisons lead me to believe they know absolutely nothing about Bitcoin and are using the word "bitcoin" to simply be edgy, trendy, cool.

1436  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin devs, CEOs, others to gather for Satoshi Roundtable retreat this month on: January 14, 2017, 05:16:41 PM
All the major miners are welcome to attend.  There are several people from China attending. 

Claiming it's a "whitey" audience is both incorrect, spiteful and bizarre.   The release doesn't list the name or race of the attendees other than a handful of them.

What specific person who should be invited do you think was excluded based on race, if anyone?

Of course the major miners are welcome to attend but they won't because they don't have to because they're in control. Hell, the devs couldn't even set the block size where they wanted to because the Chinese mining consortium said no.

Look at the list of names attending. It reads like a western golf championship with the token "black guy" attending. Just like the western golf championship, it's not racist because no others choose to attend and the token "black guy" that does attend is winning all the games.

If you want to really discuss the future of Bitcoin, you need representatives from BTC China, OKCoin, antpool, F2Pool, BTTC and HaoBTC. It wouldn't be a bad idea to include an invitation to representatives of the Chinese Ministry of Finance, Chinese National Development and Reform Commission and the People's Bank of China. They might not send a representative but it's a nice gesture none the less. Since TBF self destructed in a pool of corruption there really is no other group taking the lead concerning governments. 

The people on your list read like the United Nations of Bitcoin. Just like the venerable dignitaries of the United Nations, they are important people, certainly, but powerless and not really in control of anything.

I think what I'm actually trying to imply in "pussy" terms is that Trump is a fucking clown. His brain is rotten. There's some sort of fungus growing on his gray matter. No one like Trump should be running the free world. He behaves exactly as I would expect from some Idaho farmer with a degree from an Aggie university, educated and wealthy with hundreds of millions of dollars in farming equipment and land. However, his education, experience are wealth leave him severely lacking as a POTUS. He's crude, can't control his own mouth, says things that make no sense, has no experience, has openly made fun of the American people for his popularity and didn't really expect to win.

I think Trump was a ringer for the presidential election. He wasn't supposed to win. Trump and Bill Clinton have been friends for decades. The Clintons were at his wedding. The kids, Ivanka Trump and Chelsea Clinton, are also known to be close friends. Bill Clinton got Trump to question Barack Obama's birth certificate. Trump defended Bill Clinton during his "Lewinsky" sex scandal. His job during the election was to use his name recognition and draw attention away from real republican candidates. After becoming the republican nominee he was supposed to "throw the fight" and force a vote for Clinton. He couldn't believe it when his popularity didn't wane and he made the comment, "I could shoot people in streets and not lose support".

No one really voted for that loose cannon to be president. They voted against Hillary Clinton's obvious evil. The American people and the electoral college so disdained Hillary Clinton that they voted for a trained monkey with a mail order bride that barely speaks English. Trying to predict what that clueless baboon will do concerning Bitcoin is like trying to predict the exact amount of rainfall during the first storm in 2018.

Instant Payments. Lightning-fast blockchain payments without worrying about block confirmation times. Security is enforced by blockchain smart-contracts without creating a on-blockchain transaction for individual payments. Payment speed measured in milliseconds to seconds.

Scalability. Capable of millions to billions of transactions per second across the network. Capacity blows away legacy payment rails by many orders of magnitude. Attaching payment per action/click is now possible without custodians.

Low Cost. By transacting and settling off-blockchain, the Lightning Network allows for exceptionally low fees, which allows for emerging use cases such as instant micropayments.

Cross Blockchains. Cross-chain atomic swaps can occur off-chain instantly with heterogeneous blockchain consensus rules. So long as the chains can support the same cryptographic hash function, it is possible to make transactions across blockchains without trust in 3rd party custodians.

Anyone see the word Bitcoin up there anywhere?

Reported: should be in the altcoins section
