Remove NXT.

Why should it be removed?

Yeah, I understand that the article is written for newbs in economics, but could you instead of blaming and cursing that guy try to actually refute the points? The author didn't indeed say anything new about bitcoin, but he didn't in fact say anything wrong about it either. Bitcoin deflationary nature is not a point of debate between its opponents as well as its supporters, so wtf?

He said lots of things wrong:

Quote
This self-perpetuating cycle of doom is what sunk the global economy in the 1930s, and what, to a lesser extent, has sunk Japan since the 1990s. And it's what has been sinking us since 2008, though this time central banks have at least kept prices from falling, just barely.

Now, it doesn't make much sense, but there's actually a currency designed to create these kind of economic calamities.


Bitcoin is designed to create these "economic calamities"? wtf. It's designed to try stop the banks creating these economic calamities.

Quote
Bitcoin, the virtual currency you can theoretically use to buy things online
.

Theoretically? No, you can literally & actually buy things online. What is he talking about?

Quote
See, there's a predetermined number of bitcoins that will only grow at a low rate until 2040—and then stop
.

Wrong.

Plus more. Read the comments on the article. Even Atlantic fans are complaining about it being a terrible article, which it is.

The opposite is also true; some of them have no unique features and nothing behind them in terms or development or merchant adoption. Most are just clones and get rich quick schemes. Some will survive; some wont; some will become useful and of worth; others wont. It'll be interesting to see what other alt coins merchants start accepting.

I agree with you. Most of alt-coins don't have any credibility and no chance for adoption, it's just matter of time when they die.


http://www.cryptosextoys.com/ accepts Sexcoin haha, but also BTC, LTC, FTC, PPC and XPM. It really does depend on merchants, but we really don't need a new coin for every niche or industry possible. These coins are becoming a joke now and it takes away some of the credibility from Bitcoin and cryptocoins in general.

We have Gamecoin, Casinocoin, Betacoin, Pokercoin, Lucky7coin.
And not evern talking about animals : Elephant, Tiger , Eagle , ...

Are those actual coins? I've not heard of any of 'em.

Yeah , and there are much much more :
http://www.wheretomine.com.

And I bet there are twice as more in the wild not listed yet , and another serious amount in development or already dead.

Jesus Fuck, I knew there was a lot of alts but this is just silly now. Snowcoin, Unobtanium, Dollarpounds, Ferretcoin, Richcoin. Dafuq?


You can't print more bitcoins , but you can print an endless supply of alts.

Haha, yeah. Is there any coin that attempts to be Infinite? I think Infinitecoin really wasted their name there.
19144  Other / Off-topic / Re: Guys, it's almost Christmas! on: December 16, 2013, 02:50:05 PM
The new coins. I am sure there will be a ChristmasCoin Grin, since there new coins are launched every day each with a more absurd name and purpose Cheesy.


Uggh, that would seriously compound how much a of joke these new coins are becoming. There's already a Christmascoin and a Sexcoin and a Dogecoin, and it's called Bitcoin!  Cool

I bet that an XmasCoin will also launch these days.
Also  NewYearCoin , with a special feature : one block every 365 days.

I saw there's a Snowcoin. I mean seriously, why?

Warning to people wanting to buy metaphysical bitcoins: A user on this site by the name of metaphysicalsatoshi PM'd me yesterday and offered to beam coins directly into my head if I sent him $100 via Paypal. I did and guess what? Sill no coins. Have I been scammed? He hasn't been online since Sad.

I doubt he/she/they would come back.

For one thing they would be JFK'd by the bankers.

Why would Satoshi be a threat to them? He was just the creator, not the operator or in charge.
19147  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: New alt coins? on: December 16, 2013, 02:37:48 PM
I feel like the number of new coins popping up is really limiting the ability for quality coins to stand out. There's simply too much "noise" in the market. Having said that, I still think the altcoin forum here is the perfect place for info on new coins and their pros/cons


I agree. I think it kinda makes cryptos look a joke. Pretty much all of 'em are just peoples attempts to create get rich quick schemes. Fair enough if you've got a decent/unique idea behind it, but most of these have zero development or marketing behind them.

http://www.wheretomine.com/ I knew there were a lot of alts, but I didn't even realise there were this many.

im just throwing my own twist on a work we all have heard to many times. whats wrong with that? nothing is wrong with that. now ill have macaroni time by my self.

Nothing wrong with it, but wtf is macaroni time? haha.

19151  Economy / Services / Re: Re: [WTS] Will promote a message or link on my twitter feed [available] on: December 16, 2013, 02:20:54 PM

5 x Posts Per day for 5 Days is 25 obviously X 160K followers, even at a 1% conversion rate you still offer a better service than google etc, because you allow us to target a VERY SPECIFIC audience unlike FB and Google etc, where you only target a "General Audience"

You wont do any better in terms of auidence targetting, if your business is bitcoin related this is the man to advertise it!

You can target exactly the audience you want with Facebook, that's the main reason why Facebook ads are so effective because you can easily tailor them to suit your needs. I'd say in fact Twitter followers are the "General Audience", not Facebook, but oviously you're not going to get prices as good as this offer or be able to pay in BTC.
I must say that Twitter was designed to be simple rather that give people control over things like this but because twitter is much easier for guys like me to understand/work with I prefer it over Facebook. Smiley

Depends on what kind of Twitter followers you have too. Followers can also easily be 'bought'. You could lose some if they don't like what you're promoting, so weigh that up with the money you're making if you value your followers.

No then?

Try contact the members individually. You definitely should be able to press charges if you have his info.
19153  Other / Off-topic / Re: Lose vs Loose on: December 16, 2013, 01:32:48 PM

now that I know how many people are bothered by something as simple as your vs. you're I'm going to do it all the time.

This one bugs me. Not only do they have different meanings, they have different pronunciations. Your is one sylable, like yore, and you're is two syllables, rhymes with sewer. But the most annoying part of your-you're is that many times the sentence will have a valid but completely different meaning when the wrong word is used.

I can't argue with that. Your right. rofl

Your retarded  Grin.

What about his retarded smile? I think you forgot to complete your sentence!

It is my right to be offended at idiots.

Eh?

He said he can't argue with me because it is my right to be bugged by that sort of typo.

Then you started to say something about his retarded smileyface but didn't finish the thought.


Feel free to laugh at yourself  Cheesy Cool.

Clearly you didn't get my joke, since I had to explain it to you. Who should be laughing?

Nice try.
19154  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin support a country? on: December 16, 2013, 01:30:20 PM
I Can't quite find the source right now (a bit lazy), but there's an entire town in Chile that will only be workign with bitcoins as their currency.  Lots of rich people bought a gigantic area and will work mainly with BTC as a form of payment.  Read this on the news I believe a few weeks ago.

How about you try to remember cause I read the news daily and haven't heard of anything like that lately.
And this would be some really big news!


http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-chilean-libertarian-paradise/

"A libertarian-fashioned community in Chile is now accepting bitcoins in exchange for plots of land within its boundaries."

And the difference between working for bitcoins only , paying with bitcoins , living on bitcoins , an entire town doing this , the gigantic area which he was talking about and the 250 acres that are being sold mainly for $ , is making me believe bitcoinpsftp was talking about something totally different.
Or he was half asleep when he read those news.

It was probably exaggerated by the media, or he was half-asleep  Cheesy.

It would be pretty cool to buy some land and make a community with like-minded libertarians for Bitcoin though.
19155  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: One of the worlds most knowledagble Venture Capitalists in payments view on BTC on: December 16, 2013, 01:27:12 PM
US government made some bad decisions in the past. Alcohol used to be baned but this didn't stop people from drinking it. So is weed now and most people somehow tried it, so this doesn't scare me at all. If BTC has the support of the people it will survive.

And that was within something the government thought they could control because it was within their borders. Sod all chance with controlling bitcoin. Same applies to all governments.

Yeah, but we all know how much America likes to play World Police.

Without effort, money won't have value. If everyone can freely create money as much as they want, then money will worth nothing

It seems everyone can freely create new money and as much as they want now with all these shitcoins that are coming out Cheesy.
19158  Economy / Economics / Re: Why Bitcoin Will Never Be a Currency—in 2 Charts on: December 16, 2013, 01:18:06 PM
Another writer to be ignored. It is amazing how many things about bitcoin get published by people that have absolutely no knowledge about it whatsoever.

What do you expect from bloggers and mainstream media? Do you really expect them to know what they're talking about and actually check facts? Cheesy
19159  Other / Off-topic / Re: My next door neighbor continually masterbates every 2-3 hours in my garden... on: December 16, 2013, 01:16:00 PM
And he's doing my roses in. I have nothing against jacking off and am in fact pro-masterbation, but his fucking cum reeks and often makes me feel sick. It's complete milky schwag and he continually coughs his guts up pretty much every-time he jerks off from 6 in the morning to midnight. He coughs so violently that I've heard him puke several times. My windows are always shut yet his coughing still gets in along with his smelly vile cum. What do I do? If I ask him to stop doing it, I doubt he will. Do I threaten him with the police if he refuses? I don't want to do that, but this shit is making me feel physically sick, especially when he barfs. He lives with his grandmother who has hated me since I was a child. She even attacked me on one occasion for no reason what-so-ever. I don't mind her grandson masterbating as long as I can't smell it or hear him coughing or ruin my roses. He also has a 1-2-year-old goat and often leaves it in the house whilst he goes outside to whack the monkey. I can hear the goat crying and screaming whilst he's outside. He's a stupid skinny degenerate thieving Jeremy Kyle reject chav. I also believe I could kick the living shit out of him if it came to it, but I'm a pink-tutu-wearing pacifist and will only fight if I'm attacked and there's no other options.

And who the fuck actually gets addicted to masterbation? I mean seriously.

Wut do? Please advise.

Haha, very funny. Always appreciate parody  Wink.

Oh, and it's masturbation  Grin Cool.
Lol isn't it the same text that you put up a month ago? Don't know what's cooking in Bruno's rotating head  Roll Eyes

Yeah, he's just parodied it by changing 'smoking weed' to 'masturbation' and the horrid 'smell' of it to 'cum' haha.

I completely disagree with silk road. SR IS BAD FOR BITCOIN!!!!

+ no one is going to sell you because:

1) SR
2) PAYPAL
3)
I'm needing to buy .02 coins in order to buy something on Silk Road.  I can be trusted, i've completed PayPal to BTC transactions before.  PM me if interested.


Err ... Silk Road shut down like a month or two ago. I'm not buying the "I can be trusted" line, sorry.

Silk Road isn't bad for Bitcoin. BTC probably wouldn't be where it is right now if it wasn't for all the free advertising it got off the back of it. And Silk Road 2.0 has been up and running for over a month now.
