Gift cards are effectively 'cash'. They are treated as such by the establishments that sell them. So of course there can be no chargebacks.

I agree there are possibilities because it know well about the bitcoin market as it is a china based firm. If they enter then it is possibly they might be the leaders in bitcoin trade.
its blockchain technology.. not bitcoin.. so calm down its not going to be a big deal for bitcoin Not a big deal perhaps. But it is good publicity and helps bitcoin build a reputation. If blockchain tech is proven to be secure and robust, its a win for bitcoin.

The far better question is, why don't you have bitcoin. Its superior in so many ways.

i got the impression that Bitcoin has gotten really under fire over that last nine days since the Paris attacks. i hope this will not damage Bitcoin for a long time.
Did I miss something? How are the Paris terrorists connected to bitcoin?

I'd like to know what kind of coins are being rejected by Bitpay. Can anyone shed any further details on some examples of rejected coins?
Probably coins from known addresses involved in receiving stolen coins. Its hard to argue against blacklists, but where do you draw the line? It is immoral to do business with thieves.

My first bitcoin ever (bitcoin dust to be precise) was mined on a Radeon 4850 that overheated and crashed a lot.

Lets see the ethereum team deliver something of substance so we don't have to speculate about their legitimacy. I understand what Buterin is trying to do, but I'm very skeptical that he can pull it off.

Can you explain the strategy of using trailing stops, and why it is important to use them, especially with regard to bitcoin trading?

I too noticed the OkCoin app has an update. I've never used it more a couple of times. Looks like they support margin trading which is fairly unique in the world of android trading apps.

Are you still offering this service? I am interested. This seems legit but I can't be sure.

Good on you Godfrey Bloom. This is speaking truth to power. Unfortunately, the system is all rigged so it can never be fixed from the inside.

Germany limit of 5.000 € isn't too low, other european countries had lower limits on cash transactions, for example Portugal and Italy 1.000 €, Spain 2.500 € and France 3.000 €. The limit only is for cash transaction, you can make higher payments with credit or debit cards or by bank transference.
It is too low. Pretending that cash is some kind of alien entity, and settings to criminalize people who spending their money is immoral and tyrannical.

Those were great times to be here, but I was a Bit too late having arrived when BitCoin was surging past $2.5/btc. I sure wish I still had all the ones sold at $7 ...
Yeah, should have kept every bit of 'dust' we mined. What we consider dust in those days adds up to some serious $ these days. Still remember selling a small chunk of mined coins at the $30 peak tho.

I offer escrow services, but will not escrow paypal transactions. See my thread in the services section.

You used to scam? Sorry I have no sympathy for you. As others have said, never allow someone to take control of your computer!

The name combination can't be a coincidence, can it? Amazing luck if it is.

Cavirtex was a Canadian exchange, I wonder what kind of regulations apply to that sale. No suprise they are exiting, Cavirtex fees were way too high and the volume was tiny.

It is far from a meaningless metric.
The more transactions there are, the more exchange is there within the economy.
This is a fallacy. Transactions simply represent money moving between addresses. They do not represent money moving between people. And in particular they do not imply trades of bitcoins for goods or services. I can shift money back and forth between two addresses all day long and pump up the transaction count, but I wouldn't be doing anything for the Bitcoin economy. Isn't it safe to say that most of the increase in transactions is not from people moving their coins to an address they already own? If not, please show data that proves me wrong.

I think gold will do just fine alongside bitcoin. Its not an either/or situation, gold has utility, like bitcoin, and is scarce and desirable. A smart investor should have some of both in their portfolio.
