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.

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.

It seems everyone can freely create new money and as much as they want now with all these shitcoins that are coming out Cheesy.

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
19146  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.

19150  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to find out, if a wallet software is trustable? on: December 16, 2013, 12:57:48 PM
It could be dangerous downloading all these new coin wallets as they can contain keyloggers and trojans etc. Best bet is to wait and see if anybody else has problems. But if you must download it, do so from a trusted source such as the official site or whatever, but this by no means makes it safe. You could always run the untrusted clients on another computer of run them on linux etc.

What Bitcoin really needs is a central bank to stabilize its value. When the demand for Bitcoin goes up, they need to print more to keep it from skyrocketing.

This guy might has an idea of Economics but definitely does not understand Bitcoin!

Jeeze, cryptoplebs. It already is a currency. And I don't think he has a great understanding of economics at all. It's the banking institutions that got us into this mess and printing more money just devalues cash.
19152  Economy / Services / Re: [WTS] Will promote a message or link on my twitter feed [available] on: December 16, 2013, 12:45:36 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.

19154  Economy / Economics / Re: NSA: gets PayPal and other financial companies records. DarkWallet anyone? on: December 16, 2013, 12:21:56 PM
The NSA has access to financial records? What's new? The US government can always just get warrants for those kind of details any way.

I'd wait for details of the documents to be released before with start speculating based on "former employees", but it wouldn't surprise me if PP was/is implicated and colluded. All the other big company seem to have already any way, so it shouldn’t be a surprise.

It'll be interesting to see if anything comes of this supposed 'NSA amnesty': http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-25399345
19155  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: One of the worlds most knowledagble Venture Capitalists in payments view on BTC on: December 16, 2013, 12:01:55 PM
I can't see how or under what justification the US government can ban the use of Bitcoin or how they would prosecute businesses for accepting them. And if they do, prepare for lawsuits. It's certain that they're going to put regulations on it, but an outright ban of it or to prosecute businesses that use it? Nah.

The interviewer is only up 75%?? What a loser!

I'm a recent adopter and I'm up 10,000%.

Can't be that recent if you are up 10,000% ..... unless you define 10,000% differently from me  Wink

75% does sound a bit pathetic - sounds like he was very late to the game  Smiley

I'm up almost 1000% (or was at BTCs peak)  Cool.
19156  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How much bitcoin was cheated off you before? BTC Scammability Index on: December 16, 2013, 12:00:21 PM
While there been deals I regretted (spending BTC on random crap before it rose in value), in my case it's.. never!


Haha what crap did you buy? This is one of my main fears of spending BTC right now. I've already made nearly 1000% profit on my BTC, so I'd still getting a ridiculously good deal for my coins, but I don't want to order a pizza and a few months later have ended up essentially paying a stupid amount for it.

Bah, I don't have lots of BTC, but I bought a couple of pizzas for my family the other night... it was the first tangible thing I've bought with BTC, and it tasted GOOD Smiley

I also would feel slightly uncomfortable shouting to everyone about how great BTC is if I'd never actually used it to buy something.

But I'm hoarding the rest, of course. Wink

I'd like to spend some, I just daren't. At least there's plenty of other people spending, but yes.

There's a takeaway website http://www.takeaway.com/ that delivers many different takeaways to your door (in the UK) which accepts Bitcoin, and I like the idea of getting essentially free food. I'll probably spend some of the money I get from my PrimeDice sig though, just to give it a little test and to say I've actually bought something with it, because I do believe in it as a currency and want more people to start adopting it, so lead by example. But yeah, I'm hoarding the rest Grin.
19157  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Alt-Coins on: December 16, 2013, 11:53:53 AM
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.
19158  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How much bitcoin was cheated off you before? BTC Scammability Index on: December 16, 2013, 11:50:18 AM
I don't think we see another crazy BTC rally anytime soon and we're entering another stable but boring price period after the months past fluctations, so I'd think right now is actually a safe moment to spend (and buy) BTC.

It has been fairly stable and hasn't been as wild as it was, but it's still fluctuating quite a bit. I reckon the price is going to gradually rise with more and more merchant adoption and mainstream acceptance, and I think all it will take is one major company to announce that it may start accepting them and that'll skyrocket the value. 2014 is gonna be interesting for sure.

Hopefully this will happen, or Paypal adapts / changes its ways, but we don't need Paypal any more.

19160  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Max Keiser: How one mega-bank tries to crush bitcoin on: December 16, 2013, 11:39:40 AM

I can't see how JP Morgan will try get BTC with copyright law, and if they do try they'll fail miserably. They're probably just thinking about creating their own currency with a twist, but who knows, by Keiser's description the patent they've applied for seems pretty vague.

Wasn't the patent already rejected a few weeks ago?
And from what I read it was something that they've came first with 10 years ago.

I don't know if it was rejected or not, but I think they were trying to renew a 10-year-old patent.
