Casascius made a gold coin loaded with 1000 BTC. I think there were only around five though and it's a tad out of reach for most. The Titan is the prettier coin for me anyway.
Do you know anyone the sells a Titan? Please can someone post here if they are selling. they are for sale on their website. I don't see any reason why you would not buy directly from them at this point. You can also find them on eBay, where you may be able to negotiate a better price. Do Titan coins come loaded? |

If you don't like this you should organize a protest, peaceful of course, but make it known that you're unhappy. Gather as many people as possible and protest as much as you can. A sit in or general "occupy" style movement will help you get the most attention to your concerns. You can also have people contact their congress reps to relay your discontent.

Actually this is not just "some" evidence that is here. There were way too many coincidences that happened that day or the days prior to 9/11. Mathematically it is impossible. If you think about it, this 'terrorist fight' hasn't yielded any results so far, but with it, they have justification for spying on the population.
Very true. Actually, the Patriot Act as a whole was a huge hit (not in a good way) on our civil liberties and basic freedoms. Most people are just too oblivious to it as long as they get the constant "feel good" stream of crap from the media and are totally absorbed in the latest from the music and gaming industries to the point of not knowing or not caring what is actually going on in the world around them. Seems people these days are more interested in the latest app, Facebook post or Tweet to really care about important things. I don't think people are oblivious to it. It's a very broad piece of legislation, therefore simple to understand. Additionally, it works both ways. Government can demand information from the people (almost at will) but so can the People, through the media. And the media has done it several times, gone to court to demand release of the information and WON! There's a level of political apathy in the US that's unfortunate. People don't care enough about politics, don't think they can effect change (even though the People have the vote), or they're just too consumed in their own life - yes part of that is shitty cable TV (i.e., American Idol) but part of it is also making ends meet. The social media apps do a great service to spreading current events to people that don't watch or read the news regularly (e.g., the SAE Fraternity racist chant video when viral on social media before the traditional media reported on it, the issue in Ferguson, the GOP's letter to Iran, etc.). How do you propose we bring the value of the vote and politics and involvement back to the American people? |

Why did they ask to see his phone? What suspicion did they have? What "probable cause"?
I've never heard of a border agent asking to look in someone's phone so I'm assuming that this guy had or did something that led border agents to believe they needed to see the phone.
If this guy was just a victim of a random search I hope he wins his case and sparks a privacy rights movement in Canada.

Ross is a US citizen, Mark is not. So the US is not going to be able to prosecute Mark for anything...Mt Gox wasn't operated in the US!

Spend, spend, spend!
Spend like Bernanke if you want cause the almighty BTC has controls in place to keep the spend from getting to Fed like craziness.
Mining wouldn't halt at all, there will always be an operation that can make a profit mining, it's all about scale.

Can you share the leaked list of accounts so we can see what you're talking about?
Have a link?

What's your favorite physical crypto coin?
Any that are taking off alongside Casascius?

Might be interested if prices were quoted in BTC...I don't understand that weird "S" symbol before your numbers.
Buying 100 boxes from your relative is amazing, good work!

Anyone listing bitcoins on ebay? Let me know I would like to buy.
Dude, you should go to eBay and see what's listed! |

Technically yes, but it leaves a lot of risk with the insurance company. I think it's possible in a bank style insurance. Coinbase could provide insurance against hacks on their system or fraud against you because they'd be able to track the access to your account.
If you made a claim, lost or stolen, the insurance company could see if you re-routed the coins on your own or not by analyzing your online activity. But if you conducted the fraud from a library or hotel computer they'd have nearly zero way of really researching the issue.

An Experiment is a test under controlled conditions that is done to demonstrate a known truth.
We're certainly beyond the "test under controlled conditions" part. Maybe we've enter the "Project" phase. It implies that provides a fix or solution to a problem and keeps the fact that it could end as a possibility.
The Technology Adoption Lifecycle (how do I insert a picture) has the following phases: Innovators, Early Adopters, Early Majority, Late Majority, Laggards. I'd say we're nearing the end of the Early Adopters phase, which would indicate that experiment was successful.
Here's one final idea...is it too soon to call it a revolution?

The platform would be way too narrow.
What would the BTC Party's take be on healthcare, environmental issues, foreign affairs and diplomacy, land management, etc?

Lol at Bit coin to not officially say Bitcoin. Officially? It's not like Bitcoin is a brand. I guess it was actually an error. Yeah, don't automatically default to CONSPIRACY! Subtitle technology just spells out the words, it's not smart enough to know that "bitcoin" is a thing...it just knows the words "bit" and "coin" and that they were said one after another. |

Store it in a freezer, obviously...
But is that creative? How about in etched in metal and then frozen in the ice rink i've made in my backyard? I'm good for another month or so, then I'm fucked until December... |

Etched in iron (or what ever metal has a higher melt threshhold), stored in a fire proof, immovable safe.
This would be protected against theft, fire, flood, death....
I am afraid nothing can protect you from death itself. I do not know what is the most creative way of keeping bitcoin in cold storage but I am sure that the best way it to keep it in the most inconspicuous way. As some old papers or book maybe. That way nobody would even notice it. Not to protect me from death, but to protect my family from never being able to access my bitcoins when I die. That would be the worst, that they end up lost forever. |
