The sad thing is that historically you would always make a better investment by buying and holding bitcoins than buying mining hardware.

0.9 introduced a bunch of bullshit. How the hell can bitcoin magnet link be vulnerable?! If they continue introducing unwanted bullshit features, bloating the bitcoin official client then bitcoin will be dead for me. This has already gone too far. The protocol specifies flawless security (except quantum computing vulnerability). WHY on earth has this flawless security be ruined by eager developers adding features that are not essential to bitcoin protocol?

Can this site also do localhost:8332 to check if your bitcoin RPC is affected?

On Linux Mint 14 you can still launch your bitcoin-qt if you go to terminal and type "./bitcoin-qt". If you want to start it without having it tied to your terminal window then type "(./bitcoin-qt -min &> /dev/null &)"

Did OP change the title of the topic? Wtf has it to do with banking anyway?

Good point. I wonder why it has taken so long to spread bitcoin ATMs all over the world. Like WTF so many dudes here have a lot of bitcoins and they want to get even more rich but everyone just sits and waits for the price to boost. Instead, the ones with a lot of coins should accelerate the adoption rate. Max Keiser said he has 10k bitcoins. Why doesn't he buy like 10 bitcoin ATMs, spread them all over the world and help bitcoin to succeed?

There is at least ONE big bubble yet to come. I have seen it in my dreams many times and I know it because shit hasn't hit the fan yet. After that, anything could happen, even death. Speaking of dreams, today I had a dream where gold had crashed 70% but interestingly silver not. I have no gold nor silver though, thus pretty irrelevant dream for me, however I can see it happening because the industrial value of gold is much less than it's market value. Once people realize that gold is not the ultimate store of value it will go down big time. Old school investors such as that Warren Buffer dude will lose their wealth.

Anyway, I have always wondered where the word debit card comes from. I think it comes from DEBT. Credit cards are DEBT CARDS. Debt sucks. thus credit cards will die.

OP you're an obvious noob in this forum and in the bitcoin world. I was here long before you and all the oldfags know that Bitcoin already got to the moon. DONE. Now, let's speak about Mars.

Bitcoin will never go to the moon again because we already did that. Mars is next, stupid OP.

I think everyone has to feel despair and be put on trial when investing into Bitcoin because I had my dim moments 1.5 years ago, why shouldn't have new dudes who joined the bitcoin train 2 months ago?

That's why it's good that we have capitulation after each surge in price. Weak hands and gamblers need to get their lesson. I'd be envious if an average Joe or his wife who heard about bitcoin 1 month ago went all in and would never be tested if he/she had weak hands or not.

If bitcoins are really worth something then everyone can't be a winner. Even if it's a global redistribution of wealth the pyramid still remains, except this time the bottom of the pyramid are the weak hands, pessimists and people who maintain an inner dialogue that prevents them from ever getting rich.

I watched but then I looked the other articles about leaked Google e-mails and figured that there still might be something to discuss even if the particular video is pretty empty.

Are we going to get GoogleCoins? They are infamous for making everything on their own, so sure they'll make their own digital currency.

I'd say if it really happens it's pretty bullish because even if bitcoin itself gets new rivals, it gets positive attention to the crypto currency concept and that can't be bad.

We are usually at the bottom when I get the feeling that I should sell for easy profit. I currently don't have such feeling but I'm starting to think towards that direction already.

A second can last forever. just saying.

If you haven't used your address and only have inputs but no outputs then you're safe, even quantum computers cannot steal your coins then.

I'd go 50% bitcoin and 50% peercoin. Peercoin has some really nice stuff coming up (peershares). Also proof of stake mining is the true innovation in the crypto coin world.

Mõttetu squatter oled. Kedagi ei koti nii haledad domeeninimed

I don't think peercoin is suitable for very small transactions because it actually has pretty large transaction fees for a purpose of being a store of value rather than transfer of value.
