when i see people say, when someone wants something, they assign a value to it and that becomes the price.. WHAT A LOAD OF B.S

i want a porche to me i value it as $500.. guess what folks.. a porche is not suddenly going to be $500..
we ALL want car fuel to be cheaper.. does it make car fuel cheaper by all agreeing to it NO!
we ALL want the new games consoles to be half the rediculous prices they are advertised at. does it make it happen NO!

the price of items are dictated by the supplier, basically the cost of production and wages/profit margin added.

It doesn't work like that. Things are only worth what people are prepared to pay. Companies can choose the value of Porsche, fuel and games consoles, but if they try sell them at ridiculous, unaffordable prices; people wont pay it. If we all agreed that we're not going to pay for fuel at it's current prices; guess what: the companies would have to lower the price of it. Supply and demand.

Is there any software (preferrably for mac), that can accept wallets of any kind? It's frustrating that you have to have a wallet software for each and every altcoin separately.

No, but I believe developers are working on 'multiwallets'. They probably won't be able to hold all coins, but some of the most popular ones.

last time I bought some... the guy never sent me and he basically scammed me. I trust you guys on here, that's why I came here! and I will check there! Thank you so much!

Then get your money back via paypal. People are more likely to try scam you on here.

please PM me if interested. I've been a verified Paypal consumer since March of 2010

You can buy little amounts  like this on ebay.

I don't understand why paypal does this shit. Goddamn, I hope cryptos fucking throttle it to death.

Why was this moved to off topic?    Huh

Its hardly about "whether blueberries are very good antioxidants."

Haha I literally laughed out loud at this for some reason.

Cranberries have very good antibiotic properties.

"Whats "backing" bitcoin?" We, the people who use and accept it.

Exactly! So theoretically speaking we the people that use and accept USD, Gold, silver are the ones backing it.. I try to argue this to people and they just get defensive and try to say how bitcoin is stupid, etc...

Just tell them that any currency or commodity is only worth what somebody is prepared to pay for it. I find all currencies bizarre ultimately. Fiat currency is just a bit of worthless metal or paper with the Queen's head on it. If people stopped dealing with it and stopped accepting it and switched to digital currency, its value would plummet or become worthless unless there was people willing to accept it as a payment medium. Bitcoin is the opposite of this. It's in demand, people want it, people will accept it for goods; therefore it is worth something and it's value is sky-rocketing because of this.

Why are paintings worth anything? They are just colour on a canvas, but I can't say a Jackson Pollock painting is a worthless piece of shit because there's people out there that will happily pay millions for one. If people are prepared to pay millions, it is worth millions. This logic is applied to anything, including cryptocurrencies. Why is the original Mona Lisa "priceless", yet you can buy a forgery painted by a master of his craft which would fool most experts for mere thousands? 'Worth' of money is ultimately an illusion, but we put our faith in it. I can pay with high quality fake money and people would accept it even though it's just a bit of fancy paper. They can spot it as a fake and refuse it, then it is worthless, but if they don't spot it and accept it; it's worth something.

I'd wait a few days before investing now, it's likely that the price may drop quite a bit like when it hit $900, but you never know.


What do you mean? It hit 1000$, I believe yesterday

BTC hit an all-time high of $900 a couple of weeks ago and people went crazy, then it plummeted in price to $450.

I've had a few hundred of these sent to me from various bounties etc, but none of them have turned up in my wallet, they're just floating around cyberspace. Anyone know how I can fix this?

How much have you got to invest? I'd recommend trying out a few alt currencies first to get you started and to play around with. You can check the others here: http://coinmarketcap.com/

If that Conkers Bad Fur Day game is rare/worth as much as you say it is, maybe put that in the title: 'With rare Conkers Bad Fur Day game' etc. Maybe you could sell that separate.

I see you're selling a Nintendo 64 on the marketplace. Try sell some other stuff, or maybe lower the price on the console so a potential buyer only pays for shipping + a little bit extra to get you started. Up to you. You could try putting it on local listing sites like gumtree or craigslist or whatever, but state you only accept BTC or some other cryptocoin.

And noone will ever be paid. Smiley

Yeah, it's unfortunately rare that these kinda requests ever pay out, but prove me wrong, OP.

Try a faucet to get a little amount, or head on over to the Services section and sell your sig space etc.

You'll be lucky to get people to send you coin for Paypal no matter what. If you're desperate you can buy little amounts on ebay to get you started.
