Because Paypal is still the most popular payment option available for the mainstream public. They are not familiar with Bitcoin and all the horror stories being spread about Bitcoin, are not helping our cause.
So we are losing the propaganda war, which is being launched by the big bankers against Bitcoin? Feeling sad. And regarding paypal, it might be the most popular option right now. But a large number of people have got their fingers burnt with Paypal, and don't want to use it again. What we need to do is to show that Bitcoin can become a better alternative for Paypal. Already shown in 2011. People will accept PayPal payments until they get chargebacked, and send them because they can chargeback (and PayPal, with effectively no time limit due to court orders, almost always sides with the sender even if they are a convicted financial criminal). https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1044827.msg11341171#msg11341171 |

Having Localbitcoins in the mix is skewing the average high (349.9 makes average go to 243.2 with the rest ~224-227). I would have an average of the arbitraged exchanges (Bitstamp, Bitfinex, BTC-E, etc...) separate from the average of the in-person ones (Localbitcoins, Mycelium Local Trader if you can pull their data).
It seems like every time I turn around, someone in Marketplace is saying they use preev, but the price skewing high means they get less BTC.

I just made an ebay purchase using bitcoins via gyft. https://www.gyft.com/buy-gift-cards/ebay/So now that I can buy anything on Amazon through purse.io and ebay through gyft.com that covers about 90% of the goods I could ever want to buy online. Both at a discount. Why 90% ? Is there anything on eBay that rejects Gyft card ? eBay prohibits some items, and simply doesn't have constant sellers of others. |

ABA supports infringing the fundamental human right to self-defense, so I wouldn't be surprised to see them teaching infringing victimless economic liberty as well.

Seems like more supply-side pressure to me. Should get eBay sellers to accept and hold BTC directly so the price doesn't tank more.

Economically and potentially physically suicidal to trade BTC in NYC, if you don't go through metal detectors with armed security at all access points (ie courthouses). Or just violate "gun control", because violent criminals give zero fucks and have all the guns they want at all times everywhere else.

"Arm yourself because no one else here will save you."
No. Frankly, president or whoever is in charge of your country should step in, form commitee, that would once and for all investigate LEOs alleged "misuse of power" and then resolve the situation on the ground via national guard. You just cant let this go or be apathetic, this is your fucking country, not Somalia or Iraq. They are supposedly doing that through DOJ, but stopping short of national guard-enforced martial law. Jim Crow laws which only disarm law-abiding blacks (and all other races that can't afford bribes) for the slaughter need to be civilly disobeyed. |

If you'd like to use the easiest script I could find with a stable accurate price index (that won't go to hell just because a single exchange goes down), try adding this to your OP so I can delete (and do not excessively bump to thank me for this post): $65 =  Just enter this line of code where you want the price to be: [img]http://btc-priceimg.herokuapp.com/img/65[/img] |

I want to use 1Broker but I won't lose any more of my BTC to theft. My BTC1.84915808 stolen in the Bitfloor hack (not including the partial pathetic repayment of BTC0.02055598) was the last time I ever let my own BTC sit in private keys I don't exclusively control. No matter what anyone's security claims are.
I don't have a problem when I am given OPM to work with, though (like Bithorse.co admin giveaways that have been the only deposits made to my account).
i understand how you feel, i lost a Pretty Penny when MtGox Screwed me. However i feel Pretty Secure leaving money in 1broker, they keep "5-8%" hotwallet, "92-95%" Coldwallet. that is what CoinBase/BTCe did and they have beeing doing fine so far. let says if "HotWallet" did got Hacked. Losing 5-8% isnt a big deal. they can make it all back within 3-6 month or less, of Their profit. what i do is i play with 5BTC, everytime i make 1BTC profit. making 1BTC profit is realistic because of x200 leverage you can use. i would withdraw the profit into coldstorage. a way of reducing risk, Hm. Well, my BTC5 would be worth $6250 USD if I were to sell it today, regardless of current manipulation. If someone values their BTC5 at $1125 USD I suppose it wouldn't be as big of a loss to them. Going into this week with the uncertain EUR news, I would have tried to get a tutorial on how to long straddle EURJPY on 1Broker, and with 2.5 long/2.5 short, I would have made ~18.5185 BTC on the long side at 200x lev, according to https://1broker.com/?c=profitloss_calculator |
