This results in the current situation: Everybody is sitting on their capital gains and spam the HODL bullshit all over the forum in the hopes that other people don't realize their gains.
That's some hubris you've got there, telling me (part of everybody) why I am involved with Bitcoin. Inevitably, this hubris will collapse.  Out of context it certainly looks that way. What is the context? The speculation forum? Speculation and idealism aren't mutually exclusive!  |

Let's see if it succeeds or the greed inside the market will kill this project.
It will take more than a few pigs to kill the honey badger. I think that they chose the wrong tactic with trying to create stability. It would have been easier to pump the market and create a new steady rise. They could of even created an illusion that a lot of people are buying bitcoins through this new service and most would believe that the rise is real. If the price is slowly rising then the cash transfer service will get good reputation, because your sum can actually rise during the transfer. Rises can be more easily controlled and are more stable. This artificial stability makes the market nervous and can cause a big enough dump, that is too strong to control. That's assuming anyone was trying to create stability to begin with. I think there are enough actors in this market with different motivations that making a general assumption like that is probably unwise. Tell me about these different (f)actors and motivations then. Telling me that "your theory could be wrong, because there could be other answers" isn't very constructive. Certainly. The number one reason is probably: To make money for themselves. Then again, maybe that is exactly what you were saying? I just think that there are many players who use different methods to attempt to make money for themselves. It sounds like you are attributing the market movements to a single entity known as "they". |

I think these quasi-laws should be ignored. |

Would you count an anarchist as a libertarian?
I wouldn't. |

Blockchain used to be a good money laundery company, you think they don't know Shared Send is using for money laundery when they build it?
Recently FBI pushed them very hard (Shrem arrested) that's why they deleted Shared Send and also start loging user's received and destination address of Shared Coin at system background. there is no needed to mix many transactions together, because Blockchain will just show all of your receive/send logs to the goverment when asked, the same will happen with Shared Send (if its still exist)
That's a bit too many assumptions for me to be comfortable accepting without evidence. Have any? Granted, it's probably safe to assume that any kind of centralized solution is not a solution at all. |

Lol why's it about them?? It's the ability for us to practice our freedom in a tangible form.
Yeah, I agree with that. I am all for freedom of expression. However, such stunt is not an attempt of freedom of expression. There was a person sponsoring people to destroy Apple products. This is an organized attempt to terrorize Apple to accept something against their will. If people think they are entitled to do whatever they want, why is not Apple entitled to do whatever they want as well? I doubt these people are doing this in an attempt to get Apple to accept anything against their will (and if they are, I think it's a lost cause). I think they are just saying, "Look, we are sick of Apple." My only question to them is, "What took you so long?" If the guy was paying people to destroy Apple products which didn't belong to them, then there would certainly be a problem. Of course, Apple is entitled to do whatever they want with their products, which I'm sure they will continue to do! |

What happened with bitcoinwishdom?
Nothing? Doesnt show any graphs for me. Only the frame of the site. I have several bitcoinwisdom windows open and have opened a few more to check. It's working great! Did you change some settings in your browser? |

The only message which is being sent is that Bitcoin had attracted a bunch of fanatical idiots which could care less for the money wasted in the stunt. That will give more and more reasons to Apple distance itself from anything related to Bitcoin. I am sure some important decision making people inside Apple will even interpret that as attempt of financial terrorism.
I think it's fucking hilarious. Anyone taking it seriously (from either side) needs to relax more! Financial terrorism... LOL! |

So what exchange do you guys recommend for exchange into euros? According to bitcoinaverage.com MtGox holds 50% of the BTC-EUR market volume... Better use bitcoin.de or kraken? I would use btc-e, but you have to withdraw at least 500€ and the fees are minimum 100€! Somebody have a recommendation?
I would only use an exchange as a last resort if there is no possibility of a local p2p trade. LocalBitcoins.com |

If this is BTC-e's policy, why not just withdraw to a local wallet first? BTC-e is an exchange, not an online wallet service.

This is going to put more people into unnecessary legal trouble. Why? Guns are legal. Bitcoins are legal. Bitcoins will be used to buy guns that'll be used in events like Mass Shooting Festival which will lead authorities gunning at Bitcoin for unnecessary reason. I dont understand why media do not cover so many sweet apps and services running on Bitcoin ? They are going to sell guns that will be used in satire? |

BTC Gox quickly losing popularity.
FTFY. |
|
|

Every single massive crash in bitcoin history was because of incompetence of Mt.Gox ... every single one.
No, the last one was because of China. |

This is going to put more people into unnecessary legal trouble. Why? Guns are legal. Bitcoins are legal. FFLs are heavily regulated. Everything they do is documented and buyers have to go through heavy background checks. |

Are any of you guys going to continue business with BitFinex after this?
I see a couple of large transactions on Bitfinex (79 BTC and 101 BTC) at low prices around the $680 mark - then virtually no trades after those - the price is back up now. What makes people say Bitfinex is hacked, though? |

Wow...did anyone bother to read my post?
Am I missing something or is it fine for an exchange to allow its users to place orders without funds to back them?
I read it, I just considered it expected behavior from Gox. It's certainly not fine, but Gox has been Goxxing for years now. Most of have been inoculated to their shenanigans. |
