It seems to me that china is saying something like "bitcoin is legal for people to trade between them if they can find a way to do it since we are banning every possible fiat payment processor to deal with bitcoins"
If the rumors are true China is officially the no.1 country against bitcoin right now.

Signing the address that sent the 20BTC fee would prove that you are that fool. People here call fake beggers scammers, so that would shut them up.
People can just send the donations to the actual address that sent the 20btc and they 'll be sure that its owner will get them  |

Question to everyone : Would you like me to eventually add a few technical indicators to the charts, as an option. Would/Do you use these in fact ? Take a look at the list on http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/mtgoxUSD under "Technical Indicators" : Those technical indicators together with technical analysis 101 has proved to be a sure bet to lose your money in bitcoin but still i think you should add as many as you can  |

It's been around for 5 year and it's proved to be pretty much secure after all this time.
If you mean future proof like for scalability issues then there are some concerns but developers are aware of everything and they are working on them.

just to mention .. just in the last 10 days, daytraders with experience would be able to dump a shitload of dollars.. at the cost of those who have no idea about it ;-)
that's life :-) Bitcoin will fail hard .. but that must not mean, that you cannot make money out of it.
The problem is that people don't want to make money from bitcoin. They dream to be the next financial elite of this world  |

Don't use Starbucks; find a independent coffeeshop that takes bitcoin and support them instead!
If starbucks start accepting bitcoins the price will double in a day. I really doubt it double in a day. I'm sure it'll raise the price and profile of BTC, but double it is a bit extreme. Agreed. Bitcoin isn't some tiny experiment where the money supply is worth a few million anymore. There is pretty much no event that could cause it to double in on day. Likewise the only events IMHO that could cause it to fall more than 50% in one day anymore are likely catastrophic (massive network wide double spend, 51% attack blocking all transactions, a fatal flaw found in SHA-256, a backdoor found in the ECC curve used by Bitcoin, etc). Yet bitcoin lost 50% of its value in 1 day because baidu removed it from it's homepage. Were you saying back then that this was a no event either? |

Why do we even talk about the bitcoineaterblablabla address? It's an address without the private key like so many others that people lost their keys already |

I hope we get some Bitcoin ATM machines here in the uk next year. That would really help promotion and legitimise it with the public.
I 'm not sure about legitimising it. So far whenever bitcoin gets into the radar of authorities bad things happen  |

How good would it be to have this last idiotic post of him semitransparent?
Not only you are not ignoring people that annoy you but you feed them as well |

I'm curious to see the ways in which alt-coins will integrate themselves into society. Most of the stories I've read involve small merchants, such as food cart owners, accepting BTC and the like. It seems the power is definitely in the hands of the small business owners, because they are the ones who have discretion over their own finances and aren't beholden to a corporate office. I'm sure some of the more savvy business owners take multiple alt-coins as payment. I suppose sooner or later a wallet application will come out wherein one could pay with multiple coins for one item.
There is no real need for multiple coins and a multiple coins wallet because alt coins don't offer anything serious over bitcoin anyway |

Linux alone will not save you. You must know how to set it up properly + how to behave on internet
Obviously but it's better if most of the hackers don't target your os |

Something that scales to millions of transactions per second and has easy/cheap transfers of vending-machine size transactions is gonna win. But whatever it is (and it might even be a redesign of Bitcoin), it won't work exactly like Bitcoin works now.
There isn't a need for millions of transactions per second anyway. Not for many years to come |

I 'm afraid that a physical coin is going to get people confused about what bitcoin actually is  |

avast + malwarebytes do the job for me. Also commons sense can be the most effective antivirus.

Btw winklevoss said that bitcoin might hit 40000$ / btc so he is even more bullish than this thread. |

Hello everyone! I'm just new to Bitcoin and I have a lot of questions to ask? But today I just want to ask few questions and hope you all can help me to answer it.
1. I have read many articles about Bitcoin and I think it's amazing. But I wonder whether US government will shutdown this currency like they did before with Liberty Reserve (LR). I'm just afraid that someday when I get my Bitcoin becoming fat and government will shut it down and I will lost everything.
They can't shut it down that way because bitcoin is decentralized and has no similarities with LR whatsoever. |

The downtrend has been pretty obvious in chinese exchanges for the last 2 weeks.
People that think that it was only a correction that's now over clearly don't pay attention in china...

And still Bitcoin is never legal tender any where, so never a currency any where (unless possibly we have anonymity and don't pay the taxes). If we repeat it 16 more times, you will still continue your nonsense posts.  If people keep using it as a currency then it will become a legal tender everywhere. If noone uses bitcoins to buy staff then no authority will declare bitcoins as real money... Why would authorities want to drop their fiat currencies in favor of bitcoin? Why would you ask something like that? Who said anything about dropping fiat currencies |

Not actually bad article - but as always funny to see the US-centric point of view. Does the author seriously think only the us uses btc?
Are you talking about his reference to the M2 money supply? |

problem is it goes from 'a bitcoin' to 'a satoshi' without any catchy marketing names inbetween.. how about Nixons @ .01? Clintons @ .1 ? In case you don't know it already uncle sam isn't involved with bitcoin at all... I guess the tongue face didn't express the joke of it eh mr serious?? Well i missed the sarcasm because of all those people in the forum that think that us = the world. |
