This is old news indeed, but I'm glad someone bumped the thread--I can totally relate to this!! Things have definitely changed since I was in college with physical textbooks and having to graph things manually, with a ruler and pencil. Crazy, and thank you OP for posting this.

OP, if you're for real then you need to protect yourself with escrow. It would help if you identified yourself but you seem to be in haste, and you're likely not going to get this deal done. Whatever you do, don't send any bitcoin first. This place is infested with mosquitoes.

Listen to everyone who made suggestions, and the key thing is to HOLD. Or HODL. Don't spend your bitcoin and don't do risky things like lend any out or gamble, etc. Eventually you'll have a whole bitcoin and you'll be ecstatic. And I hate to say it, but it will also help if the price comes down a bit. More for your money and such.

This loan is officially due tonight at midnight EST, which is just over one week. Emerge sent me a PM today in which he stated he will be a few hours late in repaying it, just FYI and I am fine with that.

Yeah, well, unfortunately....when you go down this road of estimating and validating harmful effects, you wind up exactly where we are now. Except that we'd like to argue that certain drugs have been WRONGLY EVALUATED to have extremely harmful effects, so harmful that they should be criminalized.
I believe that one by one, those sanctions can be lifted. Specific drugs, whose effects are well understood, one at a time. That would solve 80-90 of the problem which might be as good as could be done.
But there couldn't ever be a blanket legalization of feel-goods because in many cases their harmful effects might not be known or fully evaluated. Plus new ones will arise and often.
OK you've lost me now, what do you mean by "go down this road of estimating and validating harmful effects"? Are you suggesting this is how the state decides what drugs should be illegal? Because that's absolutely not how it works, most drug laws are due to political reasons and not based on evidence. I think that's what you mean by "wrongly evaluated"? That some of the safest drugs are illegal, and some of the most dangerous are legal? That's certainly true, stuff like weed and psychedelic mushrooms haven't killed anyone, but things like Fentanyl are extremely dangerous in the wrong hands. Your idea of legalizing drugs one by one based on their harm profile isn't a terrible idea, far from it. However it still doesn't address the fact that users of drugs that are deemed "too dangerous" will still be criminalized, denying them help, and also that the production of said drugs would stay underground and be unregulated, causing more death and injury to users. Your last sentence demonstrates a misunderstanding of how the drug market works, people are not going to experiment with new untested drugs if there is already a legal option. A good example of this is the rise in "legal high" type drugs, which people only use because the best drugs are illegal. If MDMA, Cannabis, LSD, mushrooms etc. were legal, few people would experiment with lesser known drugs with barely any human experimentation. As someone with personal experience of this legal high/research chemical market, I can tell you that it does self-regulate itself to a degree. And also that most deaths due to these newer drugs are due to unprofessional vendors mislabelling drugs, or naive users not being careful enough with dosages. A good example of this would be the incidents involving Bromo-Dragonfly or 25i-NBOMe (worth googling). The vast majority of deaths like these would have been avoided if LSD and mushrooms were legal. The vast majority of deaths due to opiates like Heroin are due to impurities and incorrect dosages. By keeping it illegal, these deaths are not being addressed and will continue. From a harm-reduction perspective, it makes sense to legalise them and allow users to access pure product of a known dosage from a controlled laboratory. Just because it's legal, it doesn't mean that every schoolkid is going to start mainlining Heroin. A proper education programme would address things like this, show schoolkids the real evidence of how dangerous certain drugs are, explain the risks of different types of drugs. Tell them that ALL drugs can be dangerous, but if you really want to take them, stick to the safer ones and be careful how you take them. I agree with pretty much all of this and it was well stated. I would add that heroin ODs are often not just heroin but combinations with benzos, etoh, and some other stuff. In my town they're finding Fentanyl with the dope, and that can easily be lethal. |

I have a good idea, instead of banning sig spammers in the new forum, we put a lock on their signatures,
what do you think?
ban is better for spammers, heavier punishment is needed and if they dont want their account to be permanently banned then they should improve their posting quality. If mods see a marked improvement, they can re-enable signatures and the account wont go to waste You left me neutral feedback saying I have low quality posts after reading my post here? Well enjoy yours, you cocksucker. You might not like sig campaigns or who knows what, but you're not one to judge me, bro. Would be nice if in addition to being able to suspend signatures, staff could fix the trust system here. But that's another story. |

I'm not exactly a shill for Yobit despite the fact that I'm in their sig campaign, but they're not a bad place to trade. I don't have any fiat on there but you can see what's possible yourself. There's other places you can buy btc (Circle, Coinbase) but on places like Poloniex and Yobit there are tons of altcoins as well. Good luck to you sir.

I use Mycelium almost exclusively, and this is after experimenting with a number of online wallets. It's working pretty well so far and I have no reason to switch. Everyone here always mentions electrum and I may have to check that out at some point.

I am saving bitcoin for the future, but I'm not married to it. If it ever becomes apparent that it won't survive, I have no trouble selling it. I would disagree with what you wrote about bitcoin "increasing day by day" because it isn't really doing that. We had a huge boom in 2013 and it's been climbing back up in fits and starts, but who knows where it's going.
Be careful reading financial news--a lot of it is garbage in my opinion, and pretty much all of it has an agenda behind it, which is to keep you reading at whatever cost. Be skeptical of things.

Aside from documentaries about it and aside from maybe having theaters and Netflix accept bitcoin as payment, I think btc could be used as a neat plot device in movies. It'd have to get a bit more mainstream though, else you'd have to waste screen time explaining what it is. Definitely has possibilities.

I'm sorry, could you repeat that? I'm having a hard time understanding you over the roar of stupidity.

As the title says , i am willing to use escrow if you want. Have around 2120$ , looking to buy BTC . Any suggestions or Advice will be welcomed.  With that much money potentially involved, please do yourself a favor and use escrow even if the other party says it's not necessary. Your account isn't exactly brand new, so it's probably not a bad assumption that you know how many scammers there are around here. So be careful. |

He has a total of 4 constructive posts /4, with a cute scam attempt... How wonderful he isn't being nuked yet! Well you've been around long enough to know that scammers don't get nuked. But it's their pattern to fish with new accounts and when they don't get anything except red trust, to abandon that account and start anew with another one. Which is exactly what this asshole is going to do. Sooner or later they either stumble upon a sucker or realize that people on bct aren't as stupid as they think. |

That dude looks way too clean to not have showered for even one year, much less 12. Christ, I feel dirty just reading this thread.

Are there any comic book shops that take bitcoin? Any good collectible dealers that take it? I don't read comics anymore but I'm not averse to buying one here and there. I use fountain pens and I have yet to find a dealer that takes bitcoin.

People are paranoid around here, and rightfully so. It seems like any sort of info that could be used against you will be used against you at some point. Plus, this is bitcoin and the reality is that a lot of folks are into illegal things and don't want any personal details out there.

This shouldn't surprise anyone, really. Religious fundamentalist delusion runs deep--what kind of person would you expect a mass murderer to marry? This isn't the type of woman who's going to say something like "Oh, I never saw this coming! He was such a quiet and caring man." Fuck that, they're Jihadists.

For most of them, the two things would essentially be the same with the exception that an account with a signature restriction might be able to be resold. I don't think this is a horrible idea at all, as spamming is one of the bct offenses that do get enforced. It would give the person much less incentive to spam, right?

Guys, beware. Looks like no one posted a warning in this thread, but there's a scam accusation against BigJon that probably should be resolved before anyone even thinks of sending him money. Take a look at his trust feedback.
