2081  Economy / Digital goods / Re: ★★★50G Dropbox coupon code (Permanent Space)★★★ on: December 10, 2013, 07:39:21 PM
every samsung s3 phone gives you 50gb when u open drop box
i got mine and then my phone broke ,got a new s3 under warranty with another 50gb
now i have 104gb drop box
and when i sold my s3 to get an s4 a year later i got another 50gb

i know dropbox stops syncing your data after 2 years  if you dont pay them but i figure
in 2 years i might be ready for a new phone anyway so theyle probbaly give me another 50gb


im interested in buying but i dont want dropbox to cancel mt accounts and delete all files if/when they
figure out thyre storage is  being ripped off and sold by someone

Are these hacked codes or how can you sell dropbox space "for life "  ?

(i know you probably dont want to divulge much info about how you are  doing it  but if you can guarantee somehow that they wont take it away from me id buy one )

Meh. You know (cause I told you already Cheesy), your posts get a lot of respect from me, sgbett. This one is no different, 95% insightful, but a sweeping line like "TA is apophenia" is just, no offense, dumb. Might as well claim particle physics is like predicting lottery numbers -- just because the process is stochastic doesn't mean there are no patterns.

sorry for my sweeping and somewhat misleading statement - you are right the truth is more complicated I agree - but I had to keep it simple for this very special case.

what I should have said is 99% of traders are 100% lucky. 1% of traders are only 49% lucky - they are 'the house' so to speak.


Coming back here to quote this paragraph. If you don't mind, I'm going to refer to it in future discussions about whether trading is profitable or not (this topic always come up, with great regularity, often disguised as "Does TA work or not.").

You found a great way to summarize and give an answer to the discussion, as it contains both the observation of trading critics (that most people lose money actively trading btc), while acknowledging that there is in fact a way to make a long-term profit trading for a rather small subset of traders.

So the real question remaining, that everyone has to ask him or herself, is: am I 'the house', or am I a gambler if I'm honest with myself



in any bitcoin deal i would have to say  your the gambler rather than " the house"

"the house  " is more likley to be the btc exchanges as in they have all the power once they have your money or your btc
or both

I saw some of these and it's strange they knew you were selling bitcoins as the transactions themselves don't indicate anything . Did all the money go through properly with no "chargeback" issues? or do they somehow recognize payments related to bitcoins?

its more likely the exchanges bank accs are on a red list and when they saw him dealing with BTC exchanges they decided to shut
him down in case he was laundering  or evading tax or  whatever weak excuse they could come up with

notable that they didnt give him a reason for his account closure so he could have a counter argument that his BTC came from honest work tc

bitcoin has to many advantages over fiat  to fail
this price drop makes no differnce in the bigger picture
except we can get more coins at a discount b4 it rises again Wink
2088  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin ready for a correction on: December 04, 2013, 05:37:14 PM
Charts look the way op described but some pr buzz from example can push the price over 2000$ and then the real bottom will be much higher than it looks right now. Actually i think this is what 's happening over and over.

if there were more reliable /trustable exchanges a lot more people would sink money into BTC
in larger amounts

nobody wants to send shitloads of money to eastern europe or russia and take the risk of them
running with coins and claiming a hack or just disappearing altogether

ideally ,every country shud have an exchange so nobody sud have to transact interantionally but
we are just not there yet ....hopefully soon though Smiley

Bitcoin has gone up fast in November 2013 and now in early December it might give you an opportunity to buy at lower prices again.

The daily candlestick chart of bitcoin vs. the USD on Mt.Gox looked very familiar to me and convinced me to sell some bitcoins, if and when the value drops a bit, I will buy back more bitcoins.



The high of $1242 from 6 days ago is tested again today. If you look at the MACD-Histogram, you will see that it is not matching the pattern of the price movement, it is steadily declining.
Don’t take me wrong, I sold only a small part of my bitcoin holdings as an amusement ride. Most of my position is a long bitcoin one.This is a classical divergence and could be a sign that the bitcoin price is about to drop sharply to $800 or maybe even lower, this is the level of the lowest price 4 days ago.

I will be amused if the drop in price will trigger a media frenzy where they will call it an unstable asset, not suitable as a currency and too risky to use in any way. This may actually help the down movement I anticipate here.
rough a rapid up trend similar to November 2013 to the next level.Later on, the media will neglect bitcoin and it will stabilize around a new level, at the neighborhood of $1000 for a year or less, then it will go through a more quiet phase.

What do you think will happen to the price in the coming days and weeks?

http://chartly.com/bitcoin-ready-for-a-correction/

$1200 again now on gox

i think there are plenty of sharks in the water at the moment so if bitcoin prices were to tumble from a large dump etc
they would all be snapped up ASAP and start to rise again to  $1000+

bitcoin has  gotten so much publicity lately people are  having difficulty getting money in exchanges to buy any

It takes forever for them to get to the point but you'll be shocked when you here the fucking story they're coming up with.
I can't even believe it. I feel its a false story used by the elite to discredit the real Satoshi, but that's just the conspiracy theorist in me speaking.
Scope it out!

this guy knows how to sell a bitcoin to the masses Cheesy
i like his style

What the elite will gain if they discredit satoshi? Satoshi created bitcoin but he doesn't own it or something.

2094  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: UK international bank account for Bitstamp deposit on: December 03, 2013, 06:39:06 PM
ive transferred quite a bit from uk banks globally
sometimes they ask why or what is the purpose of the transaction
and they usually accept whatever reason i give them (buying property abroad etc )

never told them about BTC before though but open about 10-20 accounts
so your not hammering the same one every week

that should keep you fom amassing a huge total summ with a single bank until a
bank finally steps up and says we support the  BTC economy and all related transactions

it sholdnt be too long since america has decided BTC is not illegal ,UK wil  probably follow

2096  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: What exchange would fund with 10k fiat on: December 03, 2013, 02:51:22 PM
I think BTC-e is legit. They're just swamped with recent deposits so it will take time to catch up with the paperwork and regulatory compliance.
I spent my funds on btc-e while waiting for my funds to clear at Bitstamp, which just cleared yesterday. It's about 10% cheaper to buy coins at
btc-e, so I immediately asked Bitstamp to return my deposit. I'll wire the funds to btc-e where I can buy cheaper bitcoins or ltc and other cryptos.
Don't be scared to use btc-e! A $80-150 discount per coin is worth the risk IMO.

a possible discount is worth getting scammed ?

 ive heard some bad reports about btc-e recently  (35k ripped off ? )  and i would be reluctant to send them any signifigant
amount as they dont seem to bother replying to emails either
2097  Economy / Speculation / Re: Taking a loan to buy bitcoin on: December 03, 2013, 01:15:00 AM
I'm thinking do it but only do it if your prepared to lose the money you  get loaned.  Meaning you can afford to lost that amount.  I may do the same thing but it won't be for a lot of money I just want to get in on the action.

Don't you think that, if he's considering taking a loan to buy bitcoins, that it probably means he can't afford to lose the sum of the loan? Otherwise... why take a loan in the first place?  Huh

Well, technically you could perhaps afford the monthly repayments on a loan, without being able to "afford" the full loan amount upfront.  By that, I mean he may be able to afford the monthly loan payments, given his cash flow, but he doesn't just have $10k sitting around to buy Bitcoin.
A period of low cashflow does not necessarily mean broke or unable to service a loan. Besides, with bitcoin, you are typically better off to go all in at once rather than trickle in over months or years. Pretty sure there hasnt yet been a year that didnt return more than any bank loan charges these days.

thats true ,if bitcoin remains sucessfull as it has continually been ,it will blow any banks interest rates away and
you stand to make a profit or break even at worst case
even so  ,i wouldnt recommend going too deep ,your still gambling with money you dont technically have so id  
borrow a little but not so much as id be fcuked for life if bitcoin dropped to $50 or less somehow
2098  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Block chain size/storage and slow downloads for new users on: December 02, 2013, 09:20:19 PM
i can download a 1.5 gig torrent on 20 MB/s  broadband and usually get about 1.4MB/s  average
it should take me 30-60 min  to downlaod the blockchain max if its only a 16 gb file on my 2 TB disk

but a fresh install on a computer takes around 2 days  running 24/7  and my computers is fast and modern

not a major annoyance for me since i have a fast line and computer but ive had friends who took 1-2 weeks to download the blockchain in other countries over 3g  dongles etc and netbooks

i run the full client  and advise everyone i know  to do the  same although i have a multibit  wallet too which is easy to sync in a few seconds

anyone with low end tech or connection is going to have trouble downloading this entire chain unless it was somehow limited to the last 10GB of transactions and blocks before that could be recycle bined

Well, depending on where you live, electricity might be cheap/free Smiley

or even leave your laptop on your desk at work ,mining 24/7 and hope nobody notices Cheesy

btw what country has free electricity ?

unles its s a company laptop and you dont like your boss or
 just wanna see how fast you can make it die

it would be a waste of time finanicially though



You can still mine altcoin and make some profit

technically you cmight  make some off alt coins but also burn out your cpu and need a new laptop running it 24/7
+ the cost in electriuctity maybe unnfavourable to the profits after youve factored everything in
