For convenient, most people sign up an account on exchange and use their wallet.

250k a day is quite a lot of money to spend to spy on people. I wonder if anyone question the effectiveness of these programs.

I was so eager that I paid off a 4.4% $150k 15y mortgage in a few years. now some people are analyzing and suggesting that i should have run it out.
thoughts?
4.4% is low, but I'd probably had also paid it, so I could forget about it, I don't like owing money to anyone. If you were comfortable with it, you could had invested in the stock market, which produces 5.2% real return (at least for the last 113 years!). Stock are over valued these days. Municipal bond still have attractive yield.

The Typical Household, Now Worth a Third LessEconomic inequality in the United States has been receiving a lot of attention. But it’s not merely an issue of the rich getting richer. The typical American household has been getting poorer, too.
The inflation-adjusted net worth for the typical household was $87,992 in 2003. Ten years later, it was only $56,335, or a 36 percent decline, according to a study financed by the Russell Sage Foundation. Those are the figures for a household at the median point in the wealth distribution — the level at which there are an equal number of households whose worth is higher and lower. But during the same period, the net worth of wealthy households increased substantially.
The Russell Sage study also examined net worth at the 95th percentile. (For households at that level, 94 percent of the population had less wealth and 4 percent had more.) It found that for this well-do-do slice of the population, household net worth increased 14 percent over the same 10 years. Other research, by economists like Edward Wolff at New York University, has shown even greater gains in wealth for the richest 1 percent of households.

Anecdotally, I know plenty of people living paycheck to paycheck while I stack coins for the future. If the american people think they are getting poorer you must see the African countries for the reality check on how actually poverty looks like The typical American are just too spoiled to think they deserve nice car and nice house without working for it.

Cash has illegal use and it didn't affect its value.
Bitcoin will have the same issue as cash when it comes to illegal use.

The law can only be enforced when US still have the influence and military might.
As soon as US lose that influence, no one will care what US want.

You lost it all because you didn't had the balls to hold I guess. You guys seem not to learn. You should learn from Warren Buffet. When he bought the Washington Post stocks he lost a lot of money, then 10 years later the 10K invested turned into 380K, except in 10 years these 7K dolllars will be 700K
To turn 7k into 700k, bitcoin price needs to go up 100 folds. I am not sure it can do this kind of wonder again and go up to 50k per coin. Stay away from [bitcoin]. It's a mirage, basically.
Warren Buffet belongs to the old money crowd. Can't expect him to understand crypto currency and cryptography.

I'm making some papers for my university and I want to talk about BTC but right now I have no idea what topic should I develop. Any suggestions? Please?
Thanks!
Seeing you are in economic forum, I assume you are a student in this subject. You can write supply and demand part of bitcoin. As well as comparing it to gold and argue why both bitcoin and gold share the same characteristic when it come to subjective value.

They are only insured against employee theft, or someone stealing from them directly. If someone hacks into your account and withdraws your money then their insurance will not cover this.
If I understand correctly, the insurance only covers the amounts in their hot wallet, the funds in cold storage are not protected by insurance.
That should be sufficient if all their customers use two factor authentication. There is no known method to decode two factor unless the person is negligence on their own smart phone (and storing password on them).

Are you sure the state allow you to operate an ATM without license? Or have you gotten a license and registered as MSB with Fincen?

It may be lucky that many are not involved in bitcoin.
If they buy at peak. they would have lose more than half of the money at today price. Odd is also high of getting scammed by scammer or invested in pump and dump coins.
Securing wallet may not also be that easy for the non-techie. There are many reasons why they may be the lucky group and we are the unlucky group.

BitShares went up close to 40% today alone. They must be doing something right or have someone with deep pocket to support it. The points you listed above, are they the only characteristics of bitshares coin?

It wouldn't be surprising to know BTC is lowering strength of russian currency..
Russian govt is shit..
Russia Rubble is going to strengthen in the coming years. The economic is less of a mess after Putin took over. The nationalization of the oil industry help the country rather weaken it as the wealth is being used to help the population as oppose to exploitation of the west.

No one interested in discussing adoption or lack there of? ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) Does anyone here believe that crypto currencies should focus on people using them in their day to day lives at all? There are several phases when it come to adoption. It needs the support of developers, miners and geek first before it ever get to the average consumer. And this part of the process usually take longer than 6 months. And coin that passes this phase such as litecoin and dogecoin doesn't automatically mean the merchant and consumer will use it. At this point, only bitcoin still reign supreme and the rest of altcoins should still considered pump and dump.
