lol I was thinking about dumping and buying back sunday as its usually cheaper. But reading your post made me think again about it. I am a noob but my strength comes from knowing it. So I rely on you guys.

And after some more experience, you might realize how unreliable that can be.

btw, that whole kaspersky thing is quite funny.. it comes from a country that is notoriously known for phishing/scams. it's considered one of the better antivirus software, even though relations between the U.S. and russia have never been rosy.
Not surprising.
If you want to find good security, go where good security is necessary.
It evolves where the need is strongest.

A few days ago there was a article in the Dutch papers that stated:
Indian farmers are using cola & pepsi to clean there crops from pesticide.
Because it is cheaper then the real pesticide sprays.
The whole food industry is only based on profit and the food is gettin worse look at gmo's
Last summer i was In Aruba and the meat there in the supermarkets was so much better then the meat here in holland.
In Europe and Usa they try to make as much profit as possible and the quality of the food is going down because of that.


And yet, the highest margin food in the USA is the organic non-GMO.
So all markets are served.  The starving have food, but not great food, and those adding a lot of value and affording better food pay a lot more for it.

Weird how markets sort of figure that out without "requiring" it, huh.  Who would have thought.

Breakout needs volume, or its not a breakout.

Because the exchange situation is particularly precarious, perhaps the volume is not in the exchanges.

Also, the downtrend was unusually long, so the sellers were thoroughly exhausted as a result. In the beginning of the breakout, the advancing armies of the buyers meet no resistance, but the breakout is nevertheless real for the reason that ground is taken (although no hostages).

No Hostages!  ROFL.
(well admittedly I was already reclining so it wasn't really on the floor, but a great laugh anyhow.)

Look for volume that's at least 50% above average.
Especially in downtrends

Some of our Certificates of Authenticity are made to accompany the special award pieces.
There are a lot of folks that put work into this project.  Almost all are doing it because they believe in it and want it to succeed rather than for compensation, so many of the certificates have personal notes on them, thanking them for the specific things for which they are awarded.

Preev.com for example, was very helpful in advising on some of the methods used for the coldhardca.sh site, some of the design elements were supplied by community members, and some of those they didn't even realize when they inspired something.

Others provided some financial support with pre-ordering (which tends to accelerate things because I really don't like owing things to people).
Ah, I see. Well that is quite noble thing to do. If you ever need someone to change the coldhardca.sh site a bit, just tell me and I will gladly do it for you. Wink

There are some upcoming changes.  (Such as adding in the gold pricing and bi-directional quoting)
If you want to contribute to this, we can discuss it more...

Please accept my apologies for not being more clear, English is my native tongue but certainly it is not so for everyone so the responsibility is mine for being less than specific.

Specials (such as the pizza day hand stamped commemorative) are priced at 2x the normal price, (though I have seen them at up to 20x in secondary markets such as eBay).

The first screen is what pricing would look like for 1 PIZZA DAY special.  Please notice that the quantity is set to 2.  You could get two normal Bitcoin Specie for this price, or you can get 1 PIZZA DAY special, with airtite, and shipping.

The second would be for 5 PIZZA DAY specials, you can see that the premium (which is the blue number) goes down at this quantity.  It will go down again at 20ozt (or 10 specials).
The third screen would be for 15 specials, or 30 normal bitcoin specie.



Please let me know if you have more questions on this.

Is there any plans to include assay cards or at least CoAs with these coins?

I'd rather not have to destroy every coin with an acid test when/if I ever go to sell them
That is a great question. I have been wondering if I could get one of those as well. I have two Cold Hard Cash coins and having something that can proof their authenticity would be amazing!

Some of the special editions have had CoA.

CoA are easier to forge than the silver is though.
Future CoA may come with additional anti-counterfeit measures.

The only known counterfeit coins of these are pretty poor imitations and easily distinguished.

Fundamentally, these are not made to be collectibles that sit in a drawer.  They are meant to be used in the same way that the silver dollars were back when they were silver.
Well, we both know how great those counterfeit coins look. Lips sealed And yes, I know that your coins aren't meant to be kept as a collectible, but special occasion coins (like the Pizza one) will be most likely used as one, just because of the fact that it celebrates a special event. Having a CoA for them might be something that (some) people want.

I can do anticounterfeitable CoA, and have relationships with folk that print that paper fiat money stuff who do a pretty good job at making paper documents that are difficult to forge.
The collectibles are really VERY low volume pieces.  So to do CoA for all of them, raises the price for everyone.

When we do Gold items, or display type items, or hard to discern items (First Strikes, proof pieces, etc) we do use CoA for those as well as a variety of nice display options.

Here is a shot of one without the case.


Its out of focus, but the stamp is two pizzas with 10K BTC below.

They can be ordered direct or currently from HardBTC.org, though I don't think they have them on their site yet.

Pricing is at http://coldhardca.sh
Each of these counts as 2x and includes basic shipping and an airtite.

If you send payment to the address in my profile

Copy the Txid and the quantity ordered into a PM and let me know your shipping address, I will get them out to you swiftly.

I WANT A PIZZA ONE!!!!!!! Are they still for sale?

The PIZZA coins go on sale starting MAY 22, NATIONAL PIZZA DAY.
They are available for one month only.
Bitcoin Information got his early on account of the fact that it was his birthday, and it was a personal gift from myself.
He is the only one to have one early.

I'll post some pictures soon, and get the PIZZA PARTY STARTED.

Yes.  Jorge thinks bitcoin is a dangerous ponzi and makes an argument there by first presenting a stawman argument in the form of an extreme false dichotomy.

Is this news?  He has seemed fairly transparent in his views of bitcoin.

I personally think he is wrong.

But who knows?

Statements like the one quoted below get me everytime. Isn't this statement also true for every central bank fiat currency, IE the USD? The USD is only worth what we believe its worth, in that what we are willing to trade for the $1.

Quote
The fact is that bitcoins have no value in themselves : they are only worth what people believe they are worth .

If anyone has better insight as to why or how this statement is true for bitcoin, but not for fiat. Please, please let me know. I'm awaiting enlightenment Smiley

the bank note is a promise

A promise of what though? Only that they would give you a different US dollar for it?

A promise that they will tax you.
1736  Other / Politics & Society / Re: what is your political preference? on: May 21, 2014, 05:27:20 PM

Think it already happen more than 2 decades ago. The 2008 financial crisis just speed things up and government can no longer hide the problems.

The next failure may be bigger than government.
Banking is more centralized now and more complex than it was in '08
More by % are in the too big to fail category.
