OP, Zaire and DRC Congo are the same country. Zaire is the name Mobutu gave to it and it died with him in 1997. Now the only proper name is DRC Congo.

It isn't so much bitcoin's price rising than fiat's value decreasing, actually. Thus, the "rise in price", that LiteCoinGuy is talking about indeed depends on how each country's fiat money decreases in value and how fast it does (it's taken for granted that they all decrease in value in time because of inflation due to constant money printing). Sometimes though, if you look at it over a shorter time span, the opposite might seem true: for instance, if bitcoin had been there in year 2000 and didn't move at all between 2000 and 2009, it would have appeared to lose ground against the euro. Thus the importance of looking at it over longer time spans, like a century. It's all a matter of perspective. This thread is in fact about relativity. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fimg110.xooimage.com%2Ffiles%2Fe%2Fc%2F6%2Feinstein1_7-4de3d8a.jpg&t=663&c=CjHtmH6-HiRX0w)

Is it possible to use bitcoin as currency in a centralized game? Will that be allowed by American Law?
I wouldn't care about the American Law. If you don't come from the USA you don't have to worry have this at all. But if you come from the USA you have a good reason to ask the question ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Could someone tell me more info about electricity rate in Venezuela? in us $ please. Feeling like opening mines, amalref? ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

and this is a graph of venezuela and us$ exchange rate ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdolar-permuta.com%2Fg%2Fprecio_dolar_2005-01-03_2015-08-08.png&t=663&c=x8hrfduIDHsJMg) I read here that they had, I quote: "four exchange rates: two that the government uses to pay for its imports, the unofficial (black market) rate and a new one Maduro introduced Thursday." The article is from February 20, 2015, so the Thursday they're talking about is from February 2015 too. I'm saying that because your chart is indeed very impressive and scary but when I tried to verify the information on ADVFN I found this (which actually compares euros to bolivar because I couldn't find USD/VEF on ADVFN, but that doesn't explain the gap between your chart and these anyway): ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fimg110.xooimage.com%2Ffiles%2Fd%2Fe%2Fc%2Fp-4de368d.gif&t=663&c=qMufAy4WBdJ4Hw) Now this chart is faaaaaaaaaar less alarmist. So far that it doesn't even seem like they're talking about the same thing (but they are). So, is it because they are based on two different exchange rates? And if so, how can they be so different? I mean it's day and night that we're talking about, here. The rate presented on ADVFN is still showing that the bolivar is losing ground, but the scale is much less frightening than on your chart.

He might well have registered with another pseudonym after leaving but he most likely isn't posting anymore anyway. He is a genius and an inventor, that is, a very dynamic person (or group of people, or blablabla). Not the type of guy to lose his time on a regular basis on the internet. I'd be surprised that he'd still be posting. Maybe he still reads some stuff here and there. Well yeah that's damn possible. But I don't really imagine him posting anymore.

C'est pas plus ni moins une arnaque que les planches à billets. L'or c'est un peu juste la même chose, en fait. Quelques-unes des premières banques du monde se sont plantées parce qu'elles faisaient avec l'or exactement la même chose que ce qu'on fait à l'heure actuelle : en vendre plus que ce qu'il n'en existe. Ces banques sont mortes, mais l'or, lui, est toujours là.

cyberno a l'air d'être un habitué des larges fourchettes où on ne lâche rien, cfr. cette quote ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) L'or c'est du métal, ceux qui en veulent, il faudra qu'ils payent le prix qu'en demandent les vendeurs, moi je lâche rien sous 10 ou 12 000 € l'once

Dans ce cas, je propose la réouverture des camps. Hitler, mein Fürher, reviens vite ! Losvienleg dans toute sa splendeur. Je crois que je vais l'imprimer et l'afficher sur mon frigo, celle-là. Il y a quelque chose de poétique, dans cette quote. On dirait tellement que vous êtes pédés, toi et Hitler, en fait, vu la manière dont tu sembles te languir de son retour. Je crois que Juliette avait dit quelque chose du style à Roméo, d'ailleurs : "Roméo, mio amore, revenez-vite" ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

On est encore à $420 pour le moment. Si ća retombe à $400, je pense aussi que ća sera le moment d'en acheter une boulette. Haha au moment où j'écrivais ća il a refait un joli bond vers presque $430 Vraiment très instable depuis ce matin. Je pensais bien, sans aucune certitude cela dit, que ća allait bouger ce week-end. Par contre je m'attendais plus à du mouvement dans l'autre sens. Mais c'est pas grave. C'est mieux même. Plus ća va vers le bas plus je peux acheter.

Well, yeah...A lot of the people I know still think Bitcoin is just this funny Internet money, sort of like Gold in World of Warcraft. I just remind them that the World of Warcraft currency also has a real world value and, anyway, you can really use Bitcoin to buy things online if you know where to look. I don't think that this is a good thing to do. Going front against them. Plus bitcoin is serious stuff that even Forbes is talking about now. Making connections between bitcoin and money used in video games is far from being fair to it. It just destroys all of its credibility in people's eyes. You'll just get answers like: "ok yeah, Gold in WoW actually has value in real life? Well you'd be a dumbass to convert your 'real' money into this 'gold'" is the kind of answer that you're more likely to get (and, sorry, but I'll side with them there, except on the "real" before the word "money" when talking about fiat). Bitcoin is NOT a video game thing. It's an investment and a revolutionary technology.

too bad I've missed this thread back in 2010 Methinks you wouldn't have wanted bitcoins for a pizza back then.

350 is LOW. I don't see it go below 400 anymore. Maybe 390 but not lower.

all about bitcoin is my favorite, since 3 years ago bitcoin know, all the things about bitcoin is always interesting, but the most interesting and favorite is that I can use and collect bitcoin for free. I have ways to collect and use euros for free, too, if you want. It's called working. Ok, I know, euro is a currency in everyone's mind so no one would say that they can get "euros for free", whereas no one is trully sure whether bitcoin should be treated as a currency or a commodity. Ok. But still. "getting and collecting bitcoins for free"... nah that doesn't sound right. Plus, OP is asking about what's your least favorite thing about bitcoin. Which is the opposite of what you're about.

Il y a Noël. Je dis peut-être de la merde mais je vois bien un gros pump and dump pour ce week-end. Genre une montée à $500+ et une redescente à $440 (ou $400) aussi fulgurantes l'une que l'autre. C'est plutôt une question qu'un avis ou une prédiction, en fait. Je suis jeune, intrépide et en manque d'action, dans le monde du bitcoin. Ça influence forcément mon jugement ;-)

C'est calme depuis la dernière chute. Très calme. Quelqu'un d'autre que moi pense qu'ils vont faire pèter la baraque vendredi/ce week-end ? Je sais pas encore très bien dans quel sens ça va aller, mais à mon avis il va y avoir du sport ce week-end. Sûrement vers le haut en fait.

try increasing your rank maybe it will help ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) I'd tell him to try increasing his trust instead. When you have that kind of a red subtitle under your nickname, it doesn't really inspire trust in people's mind: Trust: -2: -1 / +0 Warning: Trade with extreme caution! Now I don't know where you got this reputation, OP, but this, coupled to the fact that you're completely new and unknown to everyone here (54 posts only), should seriously refrain anyone in their right mind from doing any kind of business where you ask them to trust you.

patrickus, je crois que le cold storage n'est pas si compliqué à utiliser que ça. Et comme Meuh l'a lui-même précisé : à son stade ça tient de la parano. On ne demande pas aux gens de garder leurs économies d'une vie en bitcoin. Du moins pas encore. Entre le moment où les gens vont acheter leurs premier bitcoins et le moment où ils vont y mettre toutes leurs économies, on va leur laisser un peu de temps. Pas trop les pousser dans les orties alors qu'ils sont encore en short. Pour le moment on aimerait surtout qu'ils s'y intéressent, déjà, ça serait un bon début. D'autre part, à partir du moment où tu prends le risque de mettre toutes tes économies au même endroit tu fais un peu gaffe à ton cul, quoi qu'il arrive. Acheter un notebook entièrement dédié à bitcoin ne coûte plus grand chose à l'heure actuelle, surtout en regard de ce que sont des économies d'une vie, et ça augmente drastiquement ta sécurité, déjà. A part ta femme je vois pas trop qui pourrait y avoir accès, même avec Windows et pas Linux, voire même sans cold storage. Avec un bon mot de passe puissant comme il faut, c'est pas le hackeur du patelin qui va réussir à passer comme ça.
Cela dit, j'ai l'air de te contredire, comme ça, mais en fait je partage ton avis à 100% : plus de simplicité dans la sécurité ne ferait pas de mal à bitcoin. Au contraire. C'est même quelque chose de très important sur quoi il faut se pencher dès maintenant parce que ça va bigrement aider à donner confiance aux gens en bitcoin. La vulgarisation de bitcoin est une excellente cause à défendre, et elle passe par sa simplification d'abord et avant tout.

Like the others said, bitcoin is never bigger than the internet, because it depends on it. The internet is still bigger. Bitcoin (actually I think you mean the blockchain, though) is merely a stone in the pyramid that is internet. It may be compared to the email though. And yes, It's at least as big as the email.
