NEVER!

Why would this every happen in the US, a democratic and capitalist society? It goes against everything the country was built upon!

Yeah living anywhere is better than living in jail...no?

Blazedout is amassing a war chest!

I'll send a PM.

if you add another BTC0.5 to your budget you might be able to get a BTC1 coin.

Good luck!

How did you use Bitcoin on your journey?

If miners slow down their mining supply will go down and if demand remains the same and supply goes down the price will go up.

The reacting of the halving will be VERY interesting. The problem is that it might be a very slow exchange OR demand my drop...

Yeah "obviously". Just like the price was obviously going to $2000 by the end of 2014.

The trade data is public information - https://blockchain.info/

Uneducated people aren't easier to control they just have fewer options so they end up choosing the lesser of two evils.

I wonder what subsidizing the first two years of community college would do to tuition for everyone else, would tuition rise to offset what would likely be a less-than-market rate subsidy?

Everyone that owns BTC is watching the price, knows it's been down for a while and may be enticed to buy some if we saw a quick burst. If there's a quick jump in the price people may feel they're going to "miss out on the run up" if they don't busy some coin immediately. That said, you need a lot more volume than this thread can produce...

How does the app generate a consensus, by averaging all the prices users think it should be at?

It is fair because the free market is one that allows for winners and losers. If everyone has the same the market will collapse...there will be no demand, and subsequently no supply.

Thanks for the video, what I didn't here is why it's "obvious to you that sooner or later BTC will go up." Why? What are your reasons or facts that support your confidence?

It's great that people are hopeful that bitcoin will increase in value but to call it "one of the best investments in the world" without any rationale is ridiculous. How many people are deciding to buy bitcoin based on your opinion? (At least you put a disclaimer that this "isn't financial advice")

The ledger technology is very interesting and it sounds like this might be what banks and governments really believe is the value - not the currency AT ALL but the technology, which doesn't benefit any of us that hold bitcoin.

Do you have an opinion on the comments that you want us all to consider or discuss? Or is this just an add for the talk?

Why is the Bitcoin price so high? Because people had been bidding it up from July 2103 through January 2014. Ever since then people have been selling their profit and/or using bitcoin as it should be used (as currency) - both things will allow the price to settle into a more appropriate level.

That's my take at least.

I'd like to see it drop further...it'll make it more approachable for new users.

What users have disappeared? What activity has gone down?

There's an easy way to avoid political and government discontent - EVERYONE should vote...that's the only way for the decisions made by a government to truly reflect the will of the majority of the people. It's unfortunate that people forget this and think they have no control over their government.

Ugh, why do I have to watch a video to understand what this thread is talking about? Can't you provide some detail, summary, or point of view on the topic? Threads like these always die, which is sad cause the topic could be quite valid and interesting but most of us will never know...

SO what are the indicators of the looming or pending collapse?

You gotta provide more detail for us to politic over!

Business competition is a game of survival of the fittest...only the strongest will survive. This news doesn't concern me at all, in fact fewer exchanges will ensure a more accurate price for everybody.
