It was interesting after AnonyMint's lengthy and detailed rebuttal of why Bitpay is such great news for BTC that responses there came...none.
Or should I say...sheesh
Yeah, maybe I should compose a lengthy rejoinder? I don't think it's worth the time. Anonymint is clever and educated, but obstinate and sometimes obsessively ideological. Which works for his purposes, but I see little point in trying to correct him (unless he's making an error which is likely to hurt himself or someone else). Heck he argues well enough so that he might convince me to be wrong too. Anyhow, bitpay adds liquidity to BTC which increases the utility and hence use of BTC, which increases demand. Everyone who spends via bitpay has to get BTC somewhere, somehow. It is certainly true that if one could only buy BTC and never sell it, then in the presence of a fixed non-zero demand, the price of BTC would be higher than if selling was an option. But the fact is that demand is not fixed, and in the long run, steady-state, demand would go to zero and price to zero in that scenario. The sustainable condition is that supply and demand are matched, and price varies to accomodate that equation. The more BTC is used, the higher the demand, and the higher the price will go to find supply. Bitpay is use. Use is good. I do agree and certainly in the sense of the long term but I find it hard to wrap my head around the idea that just because its being used its a good thing. In money velocity terms it is but the fact is if 10% of people don't buy btc to replace what they spend the net effect on the price is that to sustain the same levels you need new investors to inject that missing 10%. The other thing is while you are right that they had to get the coins sometime and somewhere, that demand theoretically drove the price up, if that demand is lost (by spending and not buying again) how can the net gain , without new investors, be positive? |

Maybe when their government currencies fail and they have to use bitcoins.
They will still complain though and say that government currencies were the reason for the good ol' days. That bitcoin ruined all of that.
When 'government currencies fail', there will be an apocalypse, you will have much more to worry about than money/investing, and bitcoin will not save you. Nobody should be hoping for this - be careful what you wish for. People in Zimbabwe would beg to differ. I think when we're talking about USD, that is significantly different because USD is basically the reserve currency of the entire world. At gunpoint. Saddam wanted to trade oil in euro and had his country illegally invaded and hundreds of thousands of civilians killed. Gaddafi wanted a gold based economy and was executed in the middle of the street in broad daylight. Thing is, the US economy is declining. A day will come where it is not possible to pay for all those shiny guns, and then there will be a reckoning. Agree and TERA may as well. The point is that when that day comes Bitcoin likely wont be the savoir |

Dopamine suppressing drugs sound like a one way trip to depression. LOL, knowledge fail. Wellbutrin is an anti-depressant. Bupropion is a dopamine reuptake inhibitor, it does not suppress dopamine, quite the opposite, it causes dopamine levels to remain higher for longer, thereby preventing the sudden 'flood' of dopamine hitting the synapses that a cigarette, or the thought of one, would cause. I'm an earlier commenter and an ex smoker and I'm sorry but the advice of take these drugs and smoke as usual is probably one of the worst Ive ever seen. Based on what, exactly? That you are well informed about the neurology and pharmacology of the issue or, as I suspect, that your knee just jerked through the monitor because someone suggested something that you don't agree with for no other reason than, well, you just don't. Yes we know that's what your addicted to but the countless 1000's of people who have quit on will power alone will tell you it can be done. The plural of anecdote is not 'data'. Countless thousands may have quit with will-power alone, but countless millions have tried and failed because it *is* fucking hard, solely because of the reasons I have already explained. But, hey, good for you for quitting on will-power alone, just don't be *that* guy who harps on about it endlessly and claims that all a smoker has to do is be like you and just . . .stop. Calm down, smoke another cig and chill out. LOL , please point me to where Ive been " *that* guy who harps on about it endlessly" I've made one previous comment a few pages back. We're in an off topic section of a forum mate even if I wanted to be that guy , whats it to you. anyway. See the thing is about all the medical data, with one expert telling you this and one expert telling you that is at the bottom of it it doesn't really matter. The ONLY thing you need to do to stop smoking is.... stop smoking. How difficult it is to do that depends on a myraid of things but at the very bottom of it if you don't put a cigarette in your mouth and light it you've quit smoking. So many pussys in the world now who need a concoction of pharmaceuticals and somebody whispering sweet advice in their ear to man up and achieve a goal you set yourself. I dont really care if you agree with me or not your opinion doesn't matter to me. I'll continue my smoke free life either way! |

I'm trying to use the .bat file so I changed the "wallet.bin" into my "myfilename.bin", the thing is when I launch the bat file, it doesnt let me copy paste my passwords.
Did you guys solve this ? I
If your trying to copy paste into simpleminer.exe copy what you want then click on the simple miner window. Then press alt + space bar and select edit then paste. I want to copy past into simplewallet.exe after launching the .bat file. I've tried what you advised but it just autoquits the window, like my password was wrong. Im not sure what to say to you. alt + spacebar brings up a menu that you can select edit then paste from. alt + f4 autoquits the window. |

Yes we know thats what your addicted to but the countless 1000's of people who have quit on will power alone will tell you it can be done. We're not talking about getting off crack here. Everybody has their different methods and what works for them but convincing people that "no your not strong enough you need some other drugs" feels counter productive.

a $30mm investment round by the looks of it?
think it through, people. sheesh. Nice, but I would just have bought 75k more btc at this point.. (Hopefully Bitpay do) Do bitpay quote any figures in regards to how much BTC they keep? |

Sell the news ! While all news and publicity is good, this particular piece isnt too bullish as its just more money invested in a service thats in the business of converting BTC to Fiat. which requires btc. think it through, people. sheesh. Which many people, particularly early adopters already have. Thats the point. People keep working under the assumption that anybody spending BTC is replacing it immediately, I would conclude that that is not the case for a large portion of spent coins. |

You can't sue someone for damages for trust comments in an online forum, a judge would throw out the case.
have you heard about cyber bullying you can file a case of libel its a part of cyber crime case if that case is implemented in their country and also to zarkclark country then it will happen you can search about it on the net if its not cleared to you Correct. We have zack clarks information, ip address and the suburb in the UK where he is. Sounds like he has no idea about the calm before the storm. oooo you from the UK as well Ritz? Wouldn't have guessed. |

That manor can be turned into something that looks so much better than the first pic. Go with white & gold man!  That's what some architectures do. Buy them in such state and sell back with triple the price. So much jellyness in the air. Everything aside, it's possible to make a profit after a complete decoration work. That alone makes it a smart investment. No please no!!! And secondary , can we talk about dumps and walls or ponies or unicorns rather than this damn subject! It's wall observer not Risto observer Okay, someone just dumped 300+BTC worth of fiat. We call it the anti-dump. What is pump for 500? Im not sure I understand your question ? |

I am newbie about this, it is quite different from other wallets. Can someone walk me through the wallet set up? step by step please I just downloaded from https://mega.co.nz/#!LZIGlI7Z!poO1z7XIFIYkMLLH9Y82Uo055Ov-IgEVVdrItHR5h78 double click simplewallet.exe it ask me about " wallet file name" what should I do? Thanks, You want to start it with the batch file. Basically open a notepad document and copy and paste this into it : @echo off tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq bitmonerod.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "bitmonerod.exe">NUL if not %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 ( echo Starting node... start /MIN bitmonerod.exe ) else ( echo Node already started. ) tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq simplewallet.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "simplewallet.exe">NUL if not %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 ( if exist wallet.bin.keys ( echo Starting previous wallet... start simplewallet.exe --wallet wallet.bin ) else ( echo Starting new wallet... start simplewallet.exe --generate-new-wallet wallet.bin ) ) else ( echo Wallet already started. ) Then click save as. Save it in the same folder you have simplewallet.exe etc but save it as a .bat. eg. start.bat You should then be able to double click that batch file and it will open the wallet and ask for a password. Enter this and remember it and your done. |

I'm suspecting that if there is another big cycle of down action, the associated 'news' may not even be based on China. For example in the Feb-Mar cycle, the 'news' was all about Mtgox. Then the Apr cycle was about China. So maybe a next one would have something to do with the U.S. or with the USD exchanges, or some giant block of coins from the government or hackers being dumped. Chinese news seems to have a weak momentum now.
No option to go up now that the Chinese news has weak momentum TERA ? |

Sell the news ! While all news and publicity is good, this particular piece isnt too bullish as its just more money invested in a service thats in the business of converting BTC to Fiat. on no, more transactions = bad Since when did more transactions (which are BTC==> FIAT) necessarily = good ? You cant argue that payment processors and people accepting BTC to instantly convert to fiat has a net upwards effect on price. |
