I find it weird for them not to accept it for gambling, I though thats what most gambling company wants? Its probably because they need to have the money backed for the bets. So if the prices of BTC dropped massively once you obtained chips, then won alot, they wouldnt have the FIAT to back the bet, so would be breaking the law. The only way i guess they can do it and keep in the law about holding money to back the bet is by automaticly changing straight from BTC to fiat. They can just use a Payment processor or give you the winnings back in Bitcoins. |

if you are planning to hold coins for a long time, the best coin for you is namecoin without any doubt.
What makes you say Namecoin over Bitcoin? I can't see Namecoin being a better investment than BTC. |

I think he means games like WoW or Diablo.
They have in-game currency that has actual value (you can trade for USD).
Second life, which isn't actually a game -- it is indeed a "second life" but has a currency of its own -- People build/design anything like you would in the real world but virtual, and people pay for it with the Second Life currency which can also be traded for USD.
I think he is suggesting games might use BTC as the currency instead of a controlled system open for exploits. (botting)
Ha, I was wondering what OP actually meant  . |

If the masses/people have any sense Bitcoin/cryptos should transform the world and be revolutionary, but unfortunately they don't.
give it time. look how long it took the Internet to be understood and adopted by the masses and still it hasn't reached its full potential after 20 years. actually not everyone understands what you can do with the internet still today. I think it will take much longer for bitcoin to the norm as payment system. Not to mention many other things bitcoin protocol can do. I don't mind waiting. The longer it takes the masses to get on board the more time I have to accumulate some more Bitcoin wealth  . I don't expect the technology to be adapted quickly, but there'll be a point where the people can't ignore it any longer. |

What could be true? It being a ponzi? |

its also the main currency in Almost human
Through the whole series ? This is huge then  Really? Wouldn’t we have heard something already if it was the main currency? And I take it this is the US version not the UK? |

The power to tax is the power to destroy. I think income tax and property tax are just wrong. What do you think?
I agree, but we do need services paid for by the tax. However, having said that, the tax system is very unfair in the UK. There is income tax, national insurance, then 80% tax fuel duty, cigarette duty, alcohol duty, council tax, VAT, Stamp Duty, Inheritance Tax, capital Gains Tax, Flight Taxes, Road Tax, Insurance Tax, Interest rate tax, Business Rates, and many more. Then there's inflation After all this, you're left with hardly anything. Wouldn't it better to fix the system though rather than destroy it completely? I think taxes are great, but only providing they're spent well and properly. That means no needless wars and other such bullshit. |

Grab a joint and watch Pineapple Express.
Haha. Awful film that could only possibly be slightly better with a joint! You and I share the same opinion. It's funny too, since I tend to enjoy Seth Rogen's other efforts. I think the guy looks like a dick in person, but still. Yeah I was disappointed too. I like him in Knocked Up and Superbad etc. but this was crap. Just didn't get it at all. Probably because you're not an immature stoner? The scene where he puts his foot through the windscreen was pretty funny. It had a couple of laughs, but pretty shit overall. Superbad was great. Definitely one of the better teen movies of the last decade. Knocked up was alright. I need to see the semi-sequel 40 and Over or whatever it was called. |

Haha. Is this the first newbie thread since the newbie section was killed and buried? I think it might be . And welcome noko! |

Like conspiracy theorists deal with facts/evidence - they deal with the lack thereof. All you need is a vague reference or association to something and it's "OMG I NEW IT!" . |

He's said in video megacoin is nothing to do with him. The video was front page of the bitcoin subreddit in the last month.
I too would say I have nothing to do with it if i was him facing the legal troubles hes facing.. last thing he wants is someone taking his stash of crypto coins. They wouldn't be able to if he stored them securely enough. That's one of the great things about Bitcoin. |

You didn't really think those silly alts had a future? They are mostly created for a month long pump. Of course, I also thought that about litecoin. Litecoin does have some actual users. But a coin based on a guys favorite dog??? No.
Especially when there's billions of them and newb logic is, if only they become worth a dollar each they'll be a millionaire! |

Being merely a 'cryptography nut' isn't proof, unless there's some other evidence in that video. |

well its at least a try, shock no is offering that service for bitcoins
There are plenty of people on this forum that are willing and eager to do this kind of work for Bitcoins, but the price you are offering isn't much. Can you give us more details? What is it that you want posting and how many listings do you require etc? |

I'm sure people would buy them as obviously there's a market for Bitcoin-branded clothing, but probably only if the prices are reasonable. Will fair-trade cotton/clothing be drastically more expensive?

Good Idea, I'll have my SO take some and email them to me to post here. I'd be open to an escrow potentially although never used one other than localbitcoins one which was OK.
There's a list of trusted escrowers here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=108716.0 |

I knew he was behind this!
That doesn't mean he is behind it. He just tweeted about it and Megacoin capitalised on it, which obviously they would. you are correct.. it does not mean he is behind it... but he is! And the proof behind this is...? |
