Someone said that lotteries are a tax on the mathematically-challenged, and I'd agree with that. Chances are next to zero, and the odds are against you always, so why play at all? For some people it's fun, but I hate throwing money away like that.

Not gonna happen, OP. Vod does more good than harm and is right more than wrong and doesn't scam. Those are qualifications enough for DT. You on the other hand act and write like a defiant child and QS, you've got a grudge against Vod because of his (-) trust on your profile due to the "self-escrow" debacle.

If anyone needs examples of why bitcoin might just fall on its face, just read this thread. Ugh. I swear, it's pain-in-the-ass experiences like this that turn me off, and sometimes it is hard to make purchases with btc for any number of reasons. OP, hopefully you got your fraction of a bitcoin.

If say the US stock markets crash this year will this unfortunate event affect the bitcoin price in any way what do you guys think about that? I would think it will lower the price?
Absolutely. If the equities market crashes, people will flee to safety, which means US treasuries and cash, and they will be fleeing from the most risky assets. Bitcoin is far riskier than equities as a whole, so you can expect high levels of financial uncertainty to sink the equities and bitcoin market. Very good point. You are right, people flee the stock market to safer assets. However, I'm not sure gold & silver are the greatest investment--but now might actually be the time to buy, as precious metals have been in the crapper for about 5 years now. People definitely wouldn't flee to bitcoin. |

Yeah, I don't believe that for one minute--this has been going on for way longer than an attack would and they haven't been transparent about the withdrawal delays and so forth. To say the very least. I give them less than a month before their website is down and they're gone for good.

Loanloanloan, LOL. It's always great when you start topics that are negative and you also get bright red negative trust within your first 5 posts.
I always wonder how Yobit has the dough to keep paying out all the users it does. It can't be a small amount they spend for their sig campaign, and they are kind of a small exchange.

How do you define "success"? I think only a very very small percentage of Chinese is using bitcoin. Not many merchants in China accept bitcoins. It is still far from "success" IMO.
I'd say a very small percentage, and that goes for the rest of the world as well. And there was a virtual currency back in late 99 or 2000 called Flooz, which was supposed to the hot new "internet money" but it never took off because it was so much easier just to use credit cards. That was in the US. China just has so many people that it makes sense they account for the majority of users. |

Will watch this thread and see what develops and whether anyone actually uses this service. Sounds interesting, but there's definitely potential for abuse on the seller's end as QS pointed out.

I's a good idea if Bitcoin transaction can be completed in a matter of seconds and if they will accept bet after 1 transaction. Imagine yourself sitting in front of a slot machine and you want to play so you pull out your smart phone to scan the QR code and then wait for 1 transaction, that's a big hassle right? Unless Casino accepts Bitcoin as payments for chips and token, i'll be happy to fall in line.
One can end up waiting hours for one confirmation... Lol, good point. Maybe someone should contact their local casino and ask about this--it'd be better than starting up your own. Then again, virtual slot machines and casinos already exist for bitcoin, which is kind of the whole point with btc, is it not? Gambling is illegal in a lot of places, and btc gets around this. |

I call bullshit on this. I see no proof of a loan being given and I assert that OP is lying here and is most likely trying to scam.

WTF? New notice in Cryptsy's header:
"Important System Notification
NOTICE: UNTIL WE ARE ABLE TO DETERMINE EXTENT OF ATTACK, ALL WITHDRAWALS AND MARKETS ARE PAUSED"
Please, only post new shit like: NOTICE: UNTIL THE ATTACK ON OUR SERVERS END, WE WILL CONTINUE TO PROCESS ALL WITHDRAW REQUEST THAT CRYPTSY'S KNOWN FOR EXPEDIENTLY. Extent of attack? So they went full Gox? I need a TL;DR for this whole thread, can anyone bring me up to speed? |

I think China works more like a large blackbox where the analyst can only see the inputs/outpus(imports/exports) of the system but not the system design itself, so it will be hard to predict the evolution accuratly.
Yeah, well, that's how China has always operated. You tend to get that with communist governments. I for one will welcome with open arms $15 crude and hope it goes as low as it can go. Cheap gas will be a beautiful thing after being under the thumb of the oil-exporting countries for years. Can't wait. |

Meanwhile, btc exploding. Well, not today. Today was actually a bad day but we'll see what tomorrow brings.

Good, I like seeing scammers getting the smackdown.
I don't know much about candlecoin other than it's avatar campaign. Is this scammer one of the developers? I'm a non-techie so I'm sure I would have just downloaded the trojan and lost everything. Good job, guys.

The last one here shouldn't be a factor--people have gotten burned by a lot of investments and those things are still around and thriving. Look at the stock market. People lose their shirts daily, yet this doesn't permanently sour folks on stocks. For a while it might, maybe, especially after a crash but then it rebounds. Bitcoin has already been through that, too. Good analysis as always, my man.

Guys does anyone of you buy stocks in the tech companies by any chance? I am particularly interested in AMD because I think their stocks will raise this year with the launching of their new CPU line.
Dude, start a topic on this if you want to discuss it, and I don't say that in a mean way. We need a good thread about stocks here, even if it doesn't have anything to do with bitcoin. Gold at 1085 as I write this and silver at 13.85. Gold is holding on, seems like. Silver has gotten absolutely hammered in the last 4 years. It's ugly. |

OP I didn't understand a fucking word of your shitty offer here. This is 99.9% likely a scam, as I find it very hard to believe that you created a new account here to sell/buy (??) bitcoin, and I think you're trying to scam English-speaking bitcoiners because you're in a poor, 4th world country. Sadly, someone will likely fall for it but this screams SCAM.

Gee whiz! This is just like cloud mining.
I can't believe the mad fury around this, though I understand the payoff is enormous. You'd be set for multiple lifetimes if you hit it. Anywho, good luck you degenerates.

No mather how much we tend to dislike governments, they do indeed play a useful role in providing security. It's for all people. The world would be a huge chaos. With governments there is 1 authority. If there weren't any governments, plenty of groups or people would then try to force themself into the authority role. Mostly not in a good way.
Yep you got that right. With no rule of law, all would be anarchy and as much as I detest some of the foul things my gov't does, it's better than the alternative. It'd be like the Walking Dead and eventually we'd end up with a government anyway. |
