Sill it's pretty scary to think that one single company could own 51% of the hash rate.
I'm not sure I completely understand the extents of it but doesn't it give them absolute power of decision over what is and what isn't recorded on the blockchain and how transactions happen?

You can't generalize here and call all politicians in EU, (or EU as institution), stupid because of statements from a few politicians. You know what they say. RawDogs will be RawDogs. Bitcoin has been going through hard times inside the EU, since the attacks in Paris. I hope it doesn't affect it in the long run. That said it probably won't, since until now, no real decision has been made to really hurt bitcoin inside the EU. This is probably destined to be overlooked, too, and bitcoin will go on. |

Je n'ai pas d'exemples concrets ici mais l'armée américaine est abonnée à ce genre de bourdes. Je suis sûr que je pourrais en trouver qui datent de la seconde guerre mondiale. Mais tu vas sûrement me sortir que les USA étaient alliés à Hitler ?

OP, are you the author of this infographic? That's an awesome job and a very good summary of the past as well as a valuable indication of what the future might be. That said I found at least one incorrection: i.e. towards the end, under the "setbacks" subtitle, Taiwan didn't really ban bitcoin. The government went back on its decision just a few days after. Here are the latest news on that topic, from November 13: http://www.coindesk.com/taiwan-finance-regulation-bitcoin-ban/ |

Excellent résumé malgré au moins une inexactitude : bitcoin n'est pas "banned" à Taiwan. (Cfr la toute fin : "setbacks").

Question (de débutant, vous m'en excuserez) : où est-ce que vous voyez, sur ce graphe, qu'ils ont claqué 7000 BTC pour faire chuter le cours ?

Je suis tout à fait prêt à croire qu'ils ont participé à sa création. Un peu comme ils avaient participé à la création d'Al Qaeda et à la mise en place de quelques dictateurs dans les mêmes régions. Un peu comme quand la France soutenait les régimes de Kadhafi, Campaoré et bien d'autres. Les gouvernements font ça, oui, c'est pas un secret. Par contre, qu'ils aient eu un but derrière, genre foutre le bordel au Moyen-Orient, nah, ils sont pas si malins  C'est surtout ça que je veux dire. Le gouvernement américain c'est le gouvernement démocratique par excellence : le genre qui prend des décisions au jour le jour sans penser à l'avenir. Ils ont aucune vision long terme. Ils ont certainement participé à créer Daesh, oui, mais ils l'ont fait par erreur. Comme des bleus. Et ils ne contrôlent absolument rien de sa propagation ni de ses actions. |

Pour définir le ton général des interventions dans ce forum, j'utiliserais les mots "condescendance agressive". Sans doute que, parce qu'ils ont compris le fonctionnement de la blockchain, ils se croient supérieurs au reste de l'humanité. Nan ça c'est juste un effet secondaire d'internet, la condescendance. Faut s'y faire. Par contre trouver que t'es chiant ça me semble assez légitime. C'est un peu comme trouver qu'Abou et Losvienleg foutent bien les boules. C'est du sens commun. Mais qu'est-ce que tu veux faire avec eux ? Les déporter ? Rouvrir les chambres à gaz ? Rallumer les fours ?Tu nous démontres qu'Israël, les USA n'ont pas créé Daech volontairement pour déstabiliser la région du Moyen-Orient ? Après les nazis, les relous, les djihadistes, les mysogynes et les socialistes, c'est encore bien ce qu'il nous manquait, ça, un théoricien du complot ! La boucle est bouclée, messieurs. InBlockchainWeTrust, moi je crois que bitcoin a été créé par les illuminatis et que Satoshi est un dauphin venu de l'espace. Si tu ne peux pas me prouver le contraire, évidemment, ça veux dire que j'ai raison. |

Yeah I was talking about bitcoin recently and a guy said: "I heard that they caught its creator and put him in jail (talking about Craig Wright)". I mean, just because he would have invented bitcoin, he'd deserve prison.
How I hope that's not the general opinion people have about bitcoin out there. But I'm probably too optimistic here...
Fortunately, that particular guy is very smart and I think open-minded. He just read that piece of news in the newspaper or heard it somewhere, not really paying attention. If he hears more about bitcoin he might change his mind.
But still, I don't like when people think that bitcoin is illegal. And in this case illegal to the point that its creator would deserve to do time.

$300. Also think it's unlikely that BTC falls back to that level whatsoever.

I agree with BlackPanda. This pizza's price was actually quite fine (slightly overpriced but not much, really). It's far from being the most expensive pizza in history. The most expensive pizza in history until now would be a pizza bought for 10000 BTC in 2015.
The truth, though, is that the buyer missed an incredible opportunity to HODL his BTC and refrain on his pizza crave.

What's your least favorite thing about Bitcoin? The fluctuating price. If only mosquito repellent could repel mosquitoes as well as bitcoin's fluctuating price repels merchants :-/ |

Without development you are basically hoping that no one at any point in time will want any other features and that there will be no vulnerabilities in the code for people to exploit. It is predicting the future, and that is impossible. It is not predicting the future. It is being awfully wrong. Because the future is actually very predictable in some case like this one: of course if you leave the code as it is now without updating it, someone will hack it. If an apple is released from a tree, it will fall to the ground. No its not. Please do your research about the differences between communism and socialism. There is no central planning in communism. In communism people agree to share equally and adhere to those ideas. In socialism, there is a central authority who is forcing everyone under their command to adhere to communistic ideas, whether they want to or not. There is a huge difference between the two. I don't know your sources but here are mine, that's to say, about any dictionary or article that would pop up amidst the first results when you type "communism" in google: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/communismhttp://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/Communism.htmlhttp://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/communismhttp://www.thefreedictionary.com/communismNow can I see your sources? Because I really feel like what you're talking about is actually a kind of self regulated anarchy. Which is in fact quite opposite to communism (and extremely idealistic but that's another matter). Now let me quote something for thruth so that I remain on topic: That is true. Miners carry a lot of weight, but I think the exchanges carry more. Miners aren't going to mine on a fork if they can't exchange it. The same kind of goes with business that accept Bitcoin. They aren't going to use a fork if no one uses it and likewise miners and users won't use a fork if no one accepts it. It is kind of a big convoluted circle, but I don't think the developers have that much weight. They can't really force people to do anything, but businesses and exchanges can because the economy relies on them, and that is what is important. I totally agree with this. There are of course people who hold more power than others, but no one has any despotic kind of power, and that won't happen because customers also have their word. And it's not because bitcoin is "planned" that it necessarily is communist. Bitcoin's economical system is even actually fairly liberal (bwahaha fairly liberal  ). Not even remotely socialist in any way. Needless to talk about it being communist. That's a nonsense. |

En vrai je crois aussi que là ça accumule parce que les 470 dollars (ou 3000 RMB, au choix) ont l'air difficiles à passer. Le marché me semble très sain. Ou bien il continue à monter après avoir passé les 470 dollars ou bien il reste stable vers 450-460, mais je doute franchement que ce soit vers un gros dump qu'on aille, dans l'immédiat.
Mais par sécurité j'ai déjà converti un peu en dollars. On n'est jamais sûr de rien.

Ça dépend. Des fois ils accumulent avant de pumper. Et puis y a aussi des fois où ils accumulent et où ça reste stable à perte de vue. Et puis y a même des fois où ils accumulent pas. Mais là ça devient plus compliqué parce que des fois à la fin ça dumpe, sauf que des fois ça pumpe. Enfin c'est jamais très clair.

It is assumed that these "Satoshi mined bitcoins" will never move, due to the potential to destroy the experiment/goal. Not if he does it in a smart way. Little by little. I don't understand why he would mine in the first place, were it not for spending? Actually yes, I get that it might have been to strengthen the market. I'm not an economist but could it be that having these bitcoins (presently around 10% of the total amount of bitcoins) locked somewhere, unspent, could act like a regulator by preventing the market prices from falling too low? |

earning with altcoin was the best thing at that time, but right now the opposite is true
as i see it is the natural step of the evolution And most of all it means that bitcoin is now the cryptocurrency. Apart form litecoin there really is no competition left. And litecoin is not even actual competition but more like a complementary currency to bitcoin. Point is that it's easier for newcomers to know what to buy. You buy bitcoins ( and litecoins if you feel like it) and that's it. The world of cryptos seems more united in the eyes of newcomers too. At least that's how I see it. |

Protip: beware of any poster exhibiting a paid signature, especially people with low activity (hello there). Hero members and legendary members are potentially more interesting, too, because they usually were here before paid signatures arrived, which at the very least means that they didn't come here because of paid signatures. That doesn't make them smarter or more interesting as a general law or anything, but still, there's something to dig there.
Upper sections also seem to be meeting places for spammers.
And yeah, of course, it goes without saying but: you can usually tell stupid threads from smart threads just by looking at their title, so for christ sake just be careful where you click.
Good day.
