I'm wondering, why the hostility towards western union?

Circular logic never fails. So I don't have that kind of safety net you have.

This is complete and utter bullshit and just paints all you mods who are trying to White Knight for Theymos as scummy sycophants. You can't ban someone for trolling and leave Crumbs to post.

Crumbs is cute.

No, Ripple is a scam.

Its not. You parrot that because you are afraid your Bitcoin investment would fail.
I'm not invested in Bitcoin, and I'll say this too. Ripple is a scam.

Bullshit.

Ok tell me how/why it is a scam. Is it because the idiots who scream the loudest here say so?
1826  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is killing Western Union! on: October 31, 2013, 01:28:16 PM
Simple: because Bitcoin is the future.

 Roll Eyes

Ripple "is the future" as well and it is much more appropriate than Bitcoin to be used as protocol to transmit money.

No, Ripple is a scam.

No, otherwise I would have kept the free Ripples (and/or bough more). XRP is a centralized scheme much like fiat only the central organization "distributing" the currency is even less trustworthy. Good luck with that.

I'll keep repeating it's a scam to at least inform new members sufficiently to do their own due diligence.

You have sold your free shares of a company and because of that they are a scam.
Striking logic, keep it up!


They want to centralize their profits, big whoop is that what this is about?
Or that Ripple uses a distributed client/server architecture ala Forex in contrast to the p2p architecture Bitcoin uses? Doesn't Bitcoin dream about having full nodes only at certain big entities?

Pathetic? For a currency that was created by an anonymous figure, adopted by the masses and resented by government entities I think not.

Are you sure you are talking about the Bitcoin ATM?

World’s first Bitcoin ATM sees 81 exchanges, $10,000 in transactions during first day

Wow that's pathetic. What's that $100 dollar on an average day?

Mobile-gaming company Glu Mobile (GLUU) continued to rise on Tuesday, with shares spiking over 3.5 percent in early trading on heavy volume. This comes during a month that has been extremely kind to Glu, with shares rising over 40 percent in the last month and four different analysts coming in with upgrades over the same period. While many may be in the habit of seeing Zynga (ZNGA) as the only real player in the market, and it’s tempting given Zynga’s market cap is almost ten times what Glu’s is. But Glu is starting to make waves in a way that has investors taking note.
Deer Hunter 2014 and…Profit Hunter 2014?

Glu’s October has been bolstered by the release of Deer Hunter 2014, one of its most popular titles. Released on September 20, the game quickly rose to the top spot for free games for iPhones, iPads, Macs, and the Android platform. It had over 5 million downloads within its first week of release, it reached 1 million downloads in a single day, reached the #1 free app ranking in 19 countries and the #1 free game ranking in 78 countries. Now, the company expects to make over $250,000 a day from the game’s premium users, with nearly 280,000 new downloads a day.

The success of Deer Hunter 2014 appears to have helped analysts see a future for Glu, despite the fact that it’s still failing to turn a profit consistently. On October 14, B. Riley & Co. upgraded Glu from neutral to buy and increased its price target from $2.75 a share to $3.75. The day after that, Northland Capital reiterated its outperform rating and increased its price target from $3.50 a share to $4 a share (essentially reversing their August 7 cut to Glu’s price target). Then the day after that, it was Canaccord Genuity (CCORF) reiterating its buy with an increase in the price target from $3 a share to $4. The Benchmark Company (MHFI) opted to wait another week before jumping on the bandwagon on October 22 when it reiterated a buy rating and increased the price target from $2.42 to $3.07. Clearly, the belief from many on Wall Street is that Glu’s model of free mobile games with premium services means profits are in the company’s future.
Optimism for the Future

Glu’s rapid rise appears to have the potential for staying power as it may have landed on a way to monetize a popular model. As the growth of mobile devices continues unchecked, in the United States and abroad, Glu’s simple business plan could prove a valuable one in the long run. “We believe we are just scratching the surface of the organization's performance potential and look forward to launching a strong portfolio of titles in Q4 and beyond,” said CEO Niccolo De Masi in the company’s Q3 earnings report.

Amazed people even trusted a single Satoshi on this, but then again, humanity never ceases to amaze me..

Not amazed, that is the natural course of any Bitcoin related venture.


I can't wait till bitpay does it.
1834  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mining Bitcoins should be renamed to burying. on: October 31, 2013, 09:10:48 AM
I think it's a bet late to get this changed for some damn political problem you see. Collect over 51% of the clients signatures from the Internet and the change goes through. That's how we work here.

No it just has to catch on.


Whoever came up with the term mining anyway? Generating Bitcoins works fine, it's catchy, descriptive and isn't confusing to anybody.
Hell coining or minting would do better.

Btw, I buried a huge turd this morning.
1835  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Mining Bitcoins should be renamed to burying. on: October 31, 2013, 02:03:08 AM
Basically it goes like this: Mining coal gets something out of the ground that can be turned into electricity.

Generating Bitcoins wastes electricity consuming coal. That coal is then buried inside the blockchain (It's not but the carbon dioxide which was released in the process is there.)
Buring is the opposite of digging, or if you will you have to dig something out first (earth or coal) in order to bury.

So I propose mining should be renamed, or stopped being used to describe generating Bitcoins.
thanks for your attention

1837  Economy / Speculation / Re: Once we break October high... on: October 29, 2013, 10:52:30 PM
People thought the massive rally to 233 was over the moment we went down to 170, but less than 2 weeks later, we're looking at hitting it again any time soon!

What do you think will happen to confidence once we break through the 233 October high?

Confidence amongst who? Confidence in Bitcoin amongst the Bitcoin cultists is indefatigable.

It's not confidence. A schizophrenic suffering from positive symptoms might see himself as confident, but from the outside it looks like delusion.

what idiot (besides BFL laundering their own mined coins?) would give bfl a million worth of bitcoins. the stupidest smart person?!?!

It's the collective stupidity of many of their customers.

I thought Bitpay insta sells the coins on exchage, how would they know the amount of BTC needed for your order otherwise

They take the risk and take loans.

Note to self: Below $200 == dip.

Yeah, the times are back..

holding fiat or anything else equals shorting bitcoin, 'cause you could have bought bitcoins if you sold that other stuff
You could also have bought hobo nickels on ebay.
