Holy Shit! USA is now banning Bitcoiners! The worst is yet to come!  Shocked Sad Cheesy

"Bitcoin Jesus," has been denied a U.S. visa — despite having been born in the country.



I should be so lucky. My bank issued me with a death warrant this morning.

I'll start to sweat about potential losses around the end of this decade. In the meantime I'll expect there to be periods of sorrow and euphoria.
19503  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: January 19, 2015, 01:42:04 AM
Good news has no effect in a bear market, but very positive effects in a bull market.

I wouldn't have thought they were any more reactive to news than bear markets. And bull markets are far more fleeting.

The only example I can think of was the senate hearings where it exploded as the vital sentences were uttered but that was potentially real make or break stuff.
19504  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: January 18, 2015, 04:00:24 AM
Most credit cards and banks cover for unauthorized losses, which BTC does not have this insurance.

But they pass this cost of fraud onto the consumer, effectively raising the price of everything you buy. BTC insurance could become a fairly large industry.

Citation please?  People here say that a lot but I've never seen any proof that fraud is a line in COGS

I assume the merchants are subsidising that in the fees they pay.
19505  Economy / Speculation / Re: TheJuice's Price Theory for 2015 on: January 18, 2015, 12:50:00 AM
I think we can safely predict that a whole load of cool developments will continue emerging. As for the price I'll just be battered among the waves like everyone else and see where it ends up.

The true strength of Monero can be seen by having people who are frightened by its existence. This forum thread is a perfect proof that the scammy Bytecoin's users are extremely jealous, foreseeing the success of a truly anonymous and fairly distributed coin, XMR.

I'm not sure it's fear or jealousy as much as cheerleading fatigue.

19508  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Adam Guerbuez claims some very big news is coming for Bitcoin this friday on: January 16, 2015, 09:04:18 PM
He guesses that the conference will have big news.

This.
When is the conference?

Starts in three or so hours.
19509  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: January 16, 2015, 08:04:33 PM
So WTF was the man in twitter talking about??? Nothing happened....yet

yeah whatsup with the fat Adam guy, anyone has news? Must be Miami conference related, right?

Why not just tweet the news yesterday? Probably because there is none.

Pay attention.

http://dailyhashrate.com/2015/01/16/adam-guerbuezs-big-news/

Lyft or Uber would announce Bitcoin support?

Making sense to me, coz these two are competing fiercely. Using bitcoin to do a free marketing is definitely a no-brainer for any one of them.

According to this thread it looks like Tether is going to soon become operational on Bitfinex. Could this be the big news?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=926366.0

How many people on Planet Earth know what Bitfinex is? And what infinitesimal fraction of that infinitesimal fraction would give the remotest shit about this?
19510  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Adam Guerbuez claims some very big news is coming for Bitcoin this friday on: January 16, 2015, 07:42:36 PM
That news is a pinned item from December.



Could be nothing, but that was interesting, I hadn't thought of the fact that he has FB in common with the Winklevosses.

And the Winklevii aren't going to team up with a guy of that calibre, or total lack thereof, if they have any desire to be taken seriously.

If that is the case then it makes zero difference to the immediate future of anything other than a PR blip for them.
19512  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is one problem with Bitcoin that is going to hold it back? on: January 16, 2015, 06:07:46 PM
The children and psychos who have been operating much of the actual infrastructure are a far bigger issue than any technical spec.

Once all that shit has been cleared out we just might see what it can really do.

He was obviously bull shitting, fishing for populars.

Fishing indeed but if it's anything it'll be announced at BTCMiami and that doesn't start for a few hours yet.
19514  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: January 16, 2015, 05:00:24 PM
Could we now please go sub 200 to prepare two-digit prices? Grin

2 digit prices are such a selfish request.

It's almost a one way street, literally nobody will think bitcoin is a good investment if the bubble collapses at a lower rate than when it started, after a full year of VC's and overall pretty good news.

If it does happen though I think I'll double down my investment, but I certainly hope we don't, I'm tired of these smug bears shitting up this thread with their doom and gloom circle jerking.

Tip: Bitcoin is not an investment.
Bitcoin is a digital currency.

Think about Bitcoin as an investment and you will fail.

Currencies are treated as investments across the world. BTC wouldn't be within a light year of where it is today without people treating it as an investment. I'm not saying that's right or wrong but that's how it is.
19515  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: January 16, 2015, 03:54:39 PM
I don't care about him, just what this announcement is.

Some interesting stuff will no doubt be announced at BTCMiami and he'll frame whatever the juiciest titbit is as his tip all along. Lots of attention gained with little to no risk.

TL;DR
To create the account and check out the page about their structure, read more how it works etc, this is completely free and it gives you a greater insight into how it works. Would you then decide you want to be a part of this amazing journey, it costs an initial fee of 30 euros, then you're an active member.

30 euros is just the start, many opportunities to spend your money.

double digits

Single Digits! To hell with bitcoin  Cheesy

Anything over $1 is clearly a bubble... $0.02 is a fair price...

After years of research I have valued the entire BTC space at the same level as my arse. As no one has ever offered me hard currency for it, even for a few minutes' rental, this does not bode well for my position. Ah well.
19518  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: January 15, 2015, 11:05:03 PM
I expected more interesting news for this friday..

I don't think this is the news a certain podgy attention seeker is talking about. It's in the deep past for starters.
19519  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: January 15, 2015, 01:40:50 AM
Damn Im new to all this btc/trading stuff!!! whats a bull-trap? please go easy Im new lol
I am proud owner of 2.5btc - been buying incrementally over past month or so.

Am I a fool???

A bull trap is an upwards price movement that fools people into buying in before another fall.
19520  Economy / Speculation / Re: the Pump/Rebound will soon be insane. on: January 14, 2015, 11:25:55 PM
I'm not so sure there'll be any type of pump in the near future. Whether it likes it or not, the BTC space is getting a hard reset.

In the long run that might set it up as a viable currency. Right now it's all a disgusting mess.
