Yeah, this is totally a valid point.  It's nice to have one millionth the total bitcoins in your wallet, but only one million people can do that in total--and we have billions of people in this world.  This is why price needs to be far, far higher than it is, where average folks could only dream of having 21 btc.  Now that's a bullish statement, eh?

Fascinating. 

I don't have any other words to describe it.  Not a scam in and of itself.  Behaves like a stock sometimes, behaves like a currency other times.  I don't fully understand the mechanics behind it but I can't stop following it.

In the crypto world, I am absolutely paranoid about getting scammed and I don't believe a word casino owners say about games being provably fair.  And yes, I know what provably fair means and I'm still paranoid as fuck.  I've never been cheated yet, but the night is still young.   

It ain't gonna happen in a million years, kid.  You fucked up.  You scammed and your temper gets the better of you here as well.

If you want to start anew, just create a new account (I'm sure you have already) and don't scam with it.  Be a good boy and that's that.

Well I am paying an ever-increasing price for btc, so that's definitely real.

Yeah, it seems everything that comes out of China is fake.  It would not surprise me if your hypothesis were true, though it doesn't seem you have evidence for it.  It kinda reminds me of Mt. Gox right before they Goxxed.  In that case, though, the huge premium on Gox was b/c of the huge risk of trading there.  Nice, steady climb is what we need and go screw the bears.

I agree with this, and it's what I've been saying in other threads, that btc is a bitch to analyze because it's not a standard financial instrument.  I'm not so sure about the scalability though; I think there's enough to go around.

But I take it you lost money on bitcoin.  You have my sympathies, sir.

I like this topic quite a bit, but there should be another one along the lines of Annoying Folks on Bitcointalk.  It's hard to pick just one.  My new favorite is Ecardking, the dumbass who left me negative feedback for no reason and he keeps calling me a dirty Indian.  It's so annoying when people I've never dealt with do that.

Dude, you're a dishonest asshole as evidenced by the unwarranted feedback you gave me and your accusations against me of being Indian.  I am not, sir, I assure you.

I'm hoping they don't Gox, but I can't fathom them doing much business after this.  They've lost the confidence of a huge number of their customers, and how do you recover from that?  And it's not like they let everyone know what's going on--what they did was to let rumors fester.  I'm not sure they're trying to steal money, but it'd be nice if they communicated about whatever problems they're having.  It's sad, really.  I used them for a few months and they were good.

I buy basically when I have extra money, which is a couple times a month.  Slow accumulation is the way to go for me.  I'm of the belief that no one can time the market, so I don't try to buy at the bottom or sell at the top.  It's never worked for me before in the stock market, so my take is that bitcoin is no different.

Lol magnesium,  I almost.feel sorry for you but I had to laugh at your -64 red trust.  Quite a change from yesterday,  but sometimes when a scam is going on, a negative feedback gangbang ensues.  Doubt you'll recover from this.

I bought absolutely nothing with bitcoin.  I don't own a lot of it and so what I do have, I want to hold on to. 

This is what drives me nuts about btc--the deflationary character of it discourages the spending of it.  It's the same reason why I never like to sell stocks.  As soon as I do, the price usually goes up and I miss out.  So for now I'm going to keep accumulating.  Maybe next Christmas I'll have enough so that I'll be able to spend some.  I'll buy this forum a fucking beer.

I absolutely read what OP wrote and did see his update.  What am I missing here?  He wants to be a moderator of a gambling site, and thus I wrote what I wrote here in bold.  If you can tell me what I did wrong, fine.  If not, go fuck yourself.

I agree with this x infinity.  Bitcoin is not a stock that can be analyzed like a stock--though technical analysis believers think this is true.  Only if and until there is widespread adoption of bitcoin will the price 1) rise and 2) stabilize.  Everything else is just a bubble, and that can happen too. 

It's a nice analysis you did, but I'm not sure how true it's going to turn out to be.

I was wondering the same thing, and I'm not sure there is any value to be had with an old account.  I think the fact that this turd's thread is so old and he's had no visible offers speaks volumes. 

Dude, erase your old bumps out of courtesy.  Please.

You don't even need to visit the website to know it's a scam, and I'd bet that OP is a shill as well.  Anytime you're promised hourly returns, it's a Ponzi or some other nefarious scheme that needs to be stayed away from.  Maybe I'm a bit paranoid, but this forum does tend to foster such a feeling.   

Lol how true.

But seriously, I don't know anyone in real life who actually owns bitcoin, much less a female.  This whole shebang seems to be a giant boys' club.  Is this how the cavemen did it?

Yeah, you got that right, and that's one of the reasons why I don't use that anymore.  I use the moon faucets pretty frequently and so I have a Xapo wallet, but I transfer the btc as soon as it reaches a few cents worth.  I trust them as far as I can throw them. 

Mycelium is the only wallet I really use and it's been good so far.  I don't claim to be an expert on btc, but you have the private keys with them, right?

This is what I don't understand, and I've posted this in another thread about the same thing:  I think the price of bitcoin already reflects the halving.  It's not a surprise, and so there should be no reaction to it once it happens. 

Does that make sense?  I'm not a huge believer in the efficient market hypothesis, but I think it should be true for this.

I fucking can't stand lotteries, but I'm not much of a gambler to begin with.  I don't trust bitcoin gambling sites, even if they say they're provably fair.  And as far as real life, I think I played Powerball a few times several years ago.  I did have fun but won no money whatsoever and I haven't felt the urge to do that again.  Maybe I will.  I'd probably be a degenerate gambling addict if I actually won something, but I never do!!
