i've seen no real evidence that Cryptsy Ken is real, or a lawyer.
should i be taking my coins off the site? this doesn't make me feel too good to have much on there right now.
You can try but after confirmation your Withdrawals will be on pending.. I have 2 for a few hours, I trust Cryptsy but I trust more my cold wallets |

yes, I think they are saying that you shouldn't trade but instead just hold them.
Are they pro/against bitcoin in general?
You might have completely misunderstood and they actually meant to withdraw with the little profit you had!

never been scammed so far but I still have to see withdrawals from crytpsy  nice poll but do preorder qualify as a scam? |
|
|

I agree, something is really dodgy
You can't give away money like this, really
best thing would be charity, not stupid dice game

hi, don't worry, don't make an error and sell now, just hold and when it will go up again sell it or keep them
remember, in april some bought bitcoins at $250, it went over 1k few weeks ago..

yes, cryptsy is not working at the moment, it's like a zombie, no deposits, no withdraws, I haven't tried trading in the last 10 hours but I guess it's not working.
there are already various threads on this forum with people complaining and this is going on for a couple of weeks already.
I wouldn't deposit anything to cryptsy right now until the issues are fixed.
you can join #cryptsy and cryptsy_support @ freenode IRC server

The real problem is that they are keeping the site up instead of fixing it, it's so stupid. No serious business would do that.
Take the fucking site down and run an audit on all users, complete all deposit/withdraw and reopen again.
I seriously don't understand why it's so difficult, they are just losing so much in image in a very positive moment for cryptos

Could be years before another bitcoin bubble happens.
Are you serious?? Probably this is the most wrong statement in this thread  With all the "projections" of money from finance institutions coming in soon the next bubble is just around the corner.. |

The idea is good but it is still based on trust to unknown 3rd party. How do you know the buyer is not conspiring with the arbitrator, wait for the delivery and subsequently leave with the BTCs? Even if they implement a feedback system it will require trust. 1. Suppose that Alice wants to send money to Bob through escrow. To start off, Alice goes to the Bitrated website and goes to “Browse arbitrators”. She then selects an escrow agent (say, Trent) and clicks “Start transaction”.
...
Finally, Trent himself has no opportunity to run away with the funds. In theory, Trent can conspire with Alice to split the funds fifty-fifty and leave Bob with nothing, but such a situation would require two of the three parties involved to be dishonest, rather than only one.
shesek, do you agree/disagree? I think arbitrators should put down an amount of BTC and be limited to escrow for that amount. Not sure this is the best solution tho What do you think? |

it really depends what you are after. I agree Litecoin will be the safest choice, Quark is on the trend lately but there are so many coins already mined and I am not sure it will keep it. Stablecoin also looks interesting, you should check it out. As usual, try to diversify, don't follow bullshit pumps and good luck |

[quote/]That's not entirely true, bitcoin the currency can be used side by side with FIAT for example to fight iper inflation.
At the moment is very difficult to buy cryptos and only a fool would spend mined coins seeing the long term trend.
And how would you deal with irreversibility with internet transactions?
Only a fool... so you dont agree that the use and circulation of Bitcoins has anything to do with its rise/fall in value? I know it does with paper moneys, why are Bitcoins different? Irreversibility is simply a matter of regulation and choice. At some point, those seeking more secure comerce methods will develop methods to send and receive, and receipting systems, and identification systems (Coinbase already uses bank account connections, probably others do too) Those seeking less regulation "cash economy" would simply not use regulated systems. Why is that complex? [/quote] Yes I don't agree with the simple fact that BTC is not backed by anybody, it's a speculative "commodity". And yes, it is complex as I need to trust an unknown 3rd party. It's not like using a Visa, Paypal or Mastercard |

I think we will see again $600-$650 this weekend, there is too much money on the sideline ready to buy to make it go further down Will all the recent press coverage (good or bad) many new investors came in and many more will come next year MtGox is not as relevant as in April and it's much more difficult to manipulate the price than before Jesus, what's with all the whinning and complaining from bears? And what's with all the "bears only" bs.
[...]
Agree! if you are a true long term bear you wouldn't be here |

From what I think I understand, if peeps are treating Bitcoin as a commodity (like gold etc) then they have missed the whole point of Bitcoins...
Satoshi must be so proud right now, instead of replacing money, we use Bitcoin to make more money.... Doesn't make sense. If we were actually serious about Bitcoin replacing government owned paper moneys, then Bitcoins need to be used, spent, circulated and incorporated into our daily lives, otherwise its just another software program to use to make money. No different to any other "get rich" type software - A very sad outcome for such an amazing concept.
I would be curious to find how many people on this forum are in it to make more money, supporting the centralised banking system, and how money are here to escape the bankers, hoping for something better? Can you realistically see yourself using Bitcoin for your money dealings in the future?
If this attitude becomes the most prevailing (the idea of Bitcoin as a commodity) then Bitcoin as a currency is doomed. A few fat cats and lucky geeks will make a bundle, and the vision of a decentralised currency dies as yet another good idea ruined by our own human greed.. (in my humble newbie opinion!)
That's not entirely true, bitcoin the currency can be used side by side with FIAT for example to fight iper inflation. At the moment is very difficult to buy cryptos and only a fool would spend mined coins seeing the long term trend. And how would you deal with irreversibility with internet transactions? |

well, this is unexpected after the Senate hearing, I thought US was going to facilitate bitcoin related businesses up to a certain level.
casascius is well recognized from the community and I believe he is not part of any money laundering action.
he should move to another country and continue minting really, maybe canada is the best choice

I have done a few trading during the last couple of weeks in Criptsy
They had a major general issue last week where deposits got forever to arrive and the trade engine was extremely laggy
This week is going a bit better but it still depend a lot on trade pairs
Open a ticket to support or visit the IRC channel, somebody is always around and bigvern will be able to resolve it
if you dont need to sell/buy alt coins maybe for the time being is better to use another exchange, like btc-e

How can you compare a Company with Bitcoin? They sell products and provide services.
Is anybody paying for Bitcoin marketing? No, it's an open source project carried on by people, with its value decided on the market.
Facebook, what's the innovation involved? I don't care what other people eat or your selfie. I actually talk or call my "friends"
Apple (insert-your-rpoduct) err, I guess the entire world can live without it
I won't even comment on the ponzi scheme, you are idiot and I problably shouldn't have spent any time replying to this.
