1601  Other / Off-topic / Re: Stevia and Bitcoin, the two most controversial topics. Which is the 3rd ? on: July 05, 2011, 10:00:06 PM
Big Pharma lobbies to keep Stevia surpressed because it is natural, healthy, and sweet.  No real controversy here, just greed.

How is that not a controversy?

My bank account is insured by the Us government if my bank fails.

My bank reimburses me for fraud.

Heck I even get rebates for using my card to buy things.

If someone rips me off I can charge it back.


What do all these services have in common?

You have to pay into the system (and pay dearly i might add) to have these privileges Its not a freebie.

To them, the failure of Bitcoin is more than just a lost investment - its a powerful blow to their belief system.

A little premature, aren't we?

They may not be going anywhere, but who cares if they last till the end of eternity if they are worth next to nothing?

That can make bitcoin every currency trader's playground, and foundations of new upstarts. No currency has ever lasted more than a couple hundred years.

How do you make bitcoin die?
1605  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: As Predicted on: July 05, 2011, 06:45:17 PM
Clearly you miss the point. The numbers are meaningless to my post. The point is that Bitcoin is going to be of little value and abandoned in a few months' time.
Bitcoins existed for years despite being worthless to you...

This is a great point. MANY people will not sell their coins, EVER. Why should they sell at 5$ or 1$?

Bitcoin has come a long way, has seen more windsocks come and go than you or I can ever imagine.

Bitcoin don't give a shit.

Bitcoin isn't going anywhere.

Many miners aren't going anywhere either.

A. Don't send money to complete strangers.
B. Use services that protect your purchase.

WOW this is just like using dollars! Who knew!  Shocked

 Investors like security and the bitcoin is pretty much the opposite of secure.  They also like secure exchanges and the bitcoin exchanges are pretty shady compared to mainstream exchanges.  That is kind of an understatement really. 
       

Bitcoin investing as secure as your worst security practices. Just like good ol' dollars. If you don't protect your credit and bank cards, someone will clean out your account.

You're only half right about shady exchanges. Turns out its not that difficult to avoid being a MTGOX clone. CAVirtex is a new Canadian exchange that is fully government compliant, professionally run (by actual businessmen) and not shady in the least. The trade volume pegs CAVIRTEX at #4 among all exchanges.

Sorry for being such a buzzkill.

How about 110$ newegg giftcard in exchange for 1 card?

I'm only selling two or more cards together. My USA shipping cost is 30$ per package from here.

lol @ all the rabid hyenas begging for stolen coins openly.

Then again, shows what the community really is,
you guys would prostitute your grandma for 3 dollars if you had the opportunity.

You're sick. Carrying such morbid thoughts around. You're probably a serial killer.
1611  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: keep seeing 'thought experiment' in reference to bitcoins on: July 04, 2011, 11:22:16 PM

There have been two new currency exchanges launched (and at least one more coming this week):
 - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/VirtEx
 - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/GetBitcoin


Friendly correction: Virtex has launched out of beta. (Its been live for a several weeks.)

Can you imagine if growth in US dollar trade was 25% PER WEEK?  Shocked

Sure looks flat to me.

Just like the trading price.

I've made this as my FB profile pic today... anyone wanna join?


Huh ?

This whole idea that Bitcoin is here to kill the current government has got to stop.   Sad

Ben Bernanke bailed out anonymous foreign banks with US taxpayer money to the tune of billions of dollars, and did not have to answer to anyone for it.

Yet you are opposed to him and his cronies losing their jobs.

I was the counterparty to AnonX in this MITM

I would like to ask those who have received donations from FooDSt4mP after this attack to send them to 16cx71KX3KXB8cynhVs878ruUdZLwHL63h
Any left-over loss will be divided equally between AnonX and myself.

FooDSt4mp, thank you for a teachable moment.

I received 0.5 from Foodstamp. Here ya go. ;^)

This was fun.  Cheesy
