Those damn chinks, always stealing our gold.....

I would rather say China is the one financing US' fiscal deficit.  Tongue

Most people wont live that long to see all this mined.

I would say none of us (alive now) would live to see that happen.  Tongue

I expect it to go down. Once all have been mined it may grow in value some. What percentage have been mined so far?

More than the amount which has been mined, the rate at which bitcoins are being mined will have an effect.
So I expect a spike next time the block reward is halved.

BTC 2,4? damn.....i came too late

This wasn't too long ago. Less than a couple of months back.  Smiley

We still hear of recovery of gold/cash from politicians.
That is why I assumed they are not into bitcoins.  Grin

Some of the big scams are larger than bitcoin's market cap. So if pay-offs in one of these scams gets denominated in BTC, you know what could happen. Tongue

Tickets seem to be extremely pricey, if you are not a student....  Shocked
2187  Local / India / Re: Sent Money to wrong person by mistake(Bank Transfer) on: July 27, 2014, 12:27:52 AM
How much did you exactly send? If the amount is significant the bank will probably reverse it for you (for a fee of course).

I do not think that is possible. Any experience or precedent on this?Huh

Might be possible in case of an intra-bank transfer (accounts belong to same bank). Even then, the bank's action might be challenged.
Otherwise, I dont think it is possible

The break out in btc prices from $100 to $1000 is attributed to bots. Bitcoin has not gone back to $100 since then.
So maybe, those 2 bots have benefited the bitcoin community after all. Smiley
2189  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Newbie problem on: July 26, 2014, 02:18:24 PM
I hope it wasn't  a newbie account.
If yes, leaving negative feedback wouldn't really hurt him.
He could just trash his bitcointalk account and start all over again.

Everyone has their version of this story. Don't kick yourself for it and be happy that you got involved as early as 2014!

(At least that's what I tell myself)

And not in late 2013, when BTC was going for over $1,000.
2191  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will bitcoin ever reach $1000 dollars again? on: July 26, 2014, 02:09:42 PM

Same here lol, I thought about the strip immediately. Tongue


Nice. And it is a recent one too, so it is fresh in memory. Smiley
Wasn't sure about including images in line. So didn't do it.
Next time, will include images. Smiley
2192  Economy / Economics / Re: Illegal use of Bitcoin effecting its value? on: July 26, 2014, 02:04:24 PM
As the bitcoin economy expands, the use of bitcoins in illegal transactions will cease to be significant (as a proportion of the bitcoin economy). Then its value will not be affected.

In early days, the value of bitcoin increased, due to SR demand for btc.
2193  Local / India / Re: Sent Money to wrong person by mistake(Bank Transfer) on: July 26, 2014, 02:00:35 PM
Some precautions which can be followed
- Always send a token amount while transferring money to a beneficiary for the first time.
- Most banks allow us to set 'upper limits' for transfer to particular beneficiaries. Use this appropriately. You can set a low limit to most of the beneficiaries
- Deactivate beneficiaries as and when you don't foresee any future transactions with them.
2194  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will bitcoin ever reach $1000 dollars again? on: July 26, 2014, 01:48:31 PM
Im 100% sure it will happen before next year.
Any substance to back your claims. ?

Reminds me of a recent Dilbert strip.

CEO: Your prototype will never be economical
Dilbert: Certainty about the future is a sign of mental illness.

In a country like India where corruption is wide spread, and black money is an issue, Its gonna be hard for authorities to consider bitcoin as an option unless they try to understand what exactly it is and how it can help minimize above mentioned activities.
 The reason behind most of the exchanges asks for your ID is avoid any conflict with govs sooner or later if the person found indulged in any tainted activity. We all know what happened with Liberty reserve last year same can happen to any exchange.
 

At some point, I predict our tech-savvy, corrupt politicians will start using bitcoins. Cheesy (if they haven't discovered it already)

I also offer overnight cuddle sessions with a prerequisite of at least one previous 60 minute cuddle session. An overnight session will entitle you to up to 10 hours of cuddle time depending on what your needs are, and pricing is at a flat rate. Please contact me for more details.


So is she an escort but she labeled herself as a "professional cuddler"!!!???


Nicely done young lady!!!

Primedice seems the least stable in my mind, with upto 0.48 BTC per person per month and a huge amount of participants.
But they have a reputation for being the longest lived campaign , so it is unlikely they will shut it down. (I'd see further reductions soon though)


Well, a couple of months ago the maximum was 2.4 BTC per person per month. So to that extent, it has reduced.
However, the number of participants has ballooned.
2198  Economy / Speculation / Re: What Bitcoin Will Be Worth before end of 2014 on: July 26, 2014, 01:35:38 PM
Dell isn't a small company but its adoption hasn't changed the buy pressure, on the contrary the value is dropping a little.
There are few business which can give a spark to the bitcoin rocket, but maybe they should be in the top5  in the world to have some positive effect.

If there are some B2B transactions in BTC, that can give a huge impetus. Maybe, if dell used this BTC to pay its suppliers, then the bitcoin economy would really take off.
2199  Other / Off-topic / Re: FREE Hugs on: July 26, 2014, 07:09:28 AM
The idea came to her in 2012, when she read an article about a guy with a "Free Hugs" sign at a local Saturday market.
2200  Other / Off-topic / Re: FREE Hugs on: July 26, 2014, 07:06:39 AM
Somebody just took this business idea a bit further.
