well cny is higher, because there are many chinese that do trading i believe
japanese have banned bitcoin, or there are some restriction
russia same as jap
polish are approaching bitcoin, in a more healthy way, they seems to like the tech behind it

How will they go about regulating me?
they will regulate you when you exchange your btc for fiat, no way they can regulate bitcoin directly, for example if you do a trasaction above 1k in btc to buy a thing always in btc, i doubt they can do anything
|
|
|
bitcoin must be use directly as a currency to become truly stable, and set the basic for a stable economy, for this it need adoption and spreading, not people with 200k coins, and others with 0.2 btc
until then will remain volatile

i would suggest to store small amount on phone/tablet and other stuff like that, they are more vulnerable than a normal desktop pc, also spend them fast, don't store for too long on those device
and online wallet is a big no no for me, only exchange for trading are an exception, but even then just a small amount

I like my Win 7, it's been pretty good for years ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) i was thinking that too, until i started to love win 10, i think it's a very solid OS, and will replace win 7 with no problem, also will come with a new kernel, which sound great

if you really tried everything they could be simply defective, or your macbook usb port are the problem, can you change it with another pc/notebook to try it?

storing them in some ancient pyramid(carved on some stone inside) would be really cool lol, or maybe inside a mummy's sarcophagus
would be original indeed

What prompted your interest in Bitcoin?
another forum brought me to bitcoin here, actually i did know about bitcoin before, but i thought it was a joke or something lol, and i remember i didn't download the client, because i was afraid that the program could be a virus or something
What resources did you use for educating yourself?
mostly internet(more like 100%)
What are the most interesting things you learned?
how the whole encryption work, really interesting stuff, i like cryptic things
What are you looking forward to learning?
other stuff related to encryption maybe or new protocol/tech about the cryptoworld in general

well i know that there was someone with 200k bitcoin here on the forum, that got arrested(police entered his house i remember, there was a photo with his family), some years ago

the club is super private probably, you won't be able to get in touch with them so easily, some chat of them talking can be found on the web
|
|
|
they said they are waiting for more security option before accepting it, they are on track, adding 2fa will be the next step before accepting bitcoin as a payment
there was another thread talking about this
|
|
|
what you say doesn't make sense, because it's the cable the important part not the 6 pin, the 6 pin is just a plastic thing, so if there are 2x6 pin then you can go up to 350 with both, because their cables won't support more than that
would have been another story if we were talking about 2+6 connectors

OK, thanks for all the replies. I guess I'm not far from the point of actually buying the damn BTCs.
"A seed is initially generated and you can restore your wallet from that. You do not have to worry about your HDD failing."
OK, that sounds good, but I don't really understand it.
Given that there's a distinct possibility a HDD could fail, how would BTCs be retrieved from it? Can I make a written note of my public and private BTC addresses?
Also, can I store the BTCs on an external HDD? Obviously, that'd be preferable to putting them on a netbook which I'd then have to maintain; given that one has to go online constantly to update software on the netbook, that's not necessarily good for protecting the BTCs.
I am of course assuming the worst case scenarios here; that people are watching my purchase of BTCs and checking my vulnerabilities.
Oh, so Electrum is potentially vulnerable too? That's just what I wanted to hear!
****!, the only sure way is a paper wallet isn't it?
yes you can store btc on an external hdd, electrum if i'm not mistaken, communicates with the cold hdd using a key, so you can always retrieve your btc

slush pool is down i believe, also is not really advisable to mine with cpu or gpu, asic also won't cut it at this point
be aware that you are losing money
|

they are professional traders i believe, this mean that it's worth for them to trade, and to generate as many P&D as possibile, obviously there many whales, so some of them will end up losing money
the point here is to increase your bitcoin number, holding them can't do that
and they don't dump , but they make you dump, to buy cheap, at least this should be their strategy with all those walls

if another currency replace bitcoin, after its adoption is complete or in a very good position, many would lose a tons of money, although the transition happen gradually
If someone can create a 'thing' better then bitcoin then I think almost all the bitcoiners will abandon bitcoin and follow the other coin, like ethereum (oh wait it doesn't exist ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) ). The better thing for the future will be a currency not inflationary or deflationary (a sort of equality and auto-regulatory). i agree, but many will lose money because of this, that's my concern, the passage will not be in painless

too much work i think(too stressful also, unless this is done with a bot), and too costly in fee, but it could be done, in any case it's always better to play with big amount(proportional to your bankroll)
now that i think about it, with a bot can be done easily without losing too much in fees
|

personally i don't think it will decline to 200, the stop is early, but shorting now isn't that bad either
better to get back at 225-230
