The question is more political than economical. Many countries don't want China to be more powerful than it already is.

How honest are your customers? This is the question.

We're at most a couple of days off the projection, and I doubt even that.

Well, if it's only a couple days, I guess that's all right.
2304  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 14 miilion BTC, today on: March 30, 2015, 10:28:35 AM


What are you talking about. This isn't terrible news. We are still on plan, just moving a bit  faster than anticipated. It's not like we reached 14M 5 years earlier than supposed to.
We should end 2015 with ~15,750,000 . That's the projection, but how much will it be off I do not know.

Yes this day is significant, and yes we've already have a thread about it.

Yes, that's what I'm saying. Moving a bit faster than planned. I understand we're not much off the plan, but probably enough to be concerned.
Sorry about the other thread. Hadn't seen it.

■In France and Italy they already start doing capital controls.

Not new. They've recently been tightened, but most of the world's countries have capital controls.

That's one of Sweden's big problem. It's very difficult there to do anything without the government being part of it. It would be a huge victory, if that exchange were successful in hiding its clients' identities.
2307  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How would you convince a newbie to use BTC? on: March 30, 2015, 10:12:33 AM
I use political arguments. BTC is a currency outside the control of any government. To most of the people I'm hanging out with, they appreciate.
2308  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / 14 miilion BTC, today on: March 30, 2015, 10:09:31 AM
March, the 30th of 2015.
Today's a big day. The 14 millionth BTC shall be mined in a few hours. This may be terrible news.

This equals to two thirds of all BTC, and I wonder if this was what Satoshi Nakamoto had in mind. When I discovered BTC, I learned the idea of a money supply which would be fully controlled and slow-growing. This over 150 years, but today we see that after only 6 years, less than one tenth of the supposed time to mine all BTC, two thirds have already been mined. Was that the plan? Or could there be too many miners, accelerating the growth of money supply faster than planned?

@S4VV4S
Thanks for advice, but I really mean country, that includes a government and most of its citizens.
I shall tell more about what I have in mind sometimes.
2311  Economy / Economics / Re: Yuan to Be the World’s 5th Reserve Currency? on: March 28, 2015, 12:47:52 PM
There are still very few people outside China having yuans in their wallet. I don't see this changing before years.
2312  Economy / Economics / Re: $1.4 billion invested in bitcoin, with price slowly declining on: March 28, 2015, 12:46:11 PM
This is one thing I hate about BTC. People can look at all your BTC movements. You've got to have several wallets and avoid making large transactions not to have some voyeurs creeping.
2313  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The 25 most exciting bitcoin startups on: March 28, 2015, 12:30:33 PM
Ripple shouldn't be there. So there were 4 companies I had never heard of. That includes 21, and I'm actually surprised to see it included as the article doesn't even say what this company is doing. The Internet of things? My fridge will do my shopping, and pays with BTC?

without digital currencies, "cybercrime would be much more difficult"

Quite true, but there was crime before digital currencies, they're only a medium. People buying drugs on Evolution (or other markets) were buying drugs on the street before, so you can say digital currencies are a good thing because they helped moving drug dealers out of the streets.
2315  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Have Bitcoins helped to improve your life? on: March 28, 2015, 12:09:31 PM
No, not yet, but I'm waiting for it. I've asked one of my customers to pay me with BTC, but he refused. I'm expecting this to change quite soon.
2316  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoin spark a new economy that prevents the old one from crashing so hard? on: March 27, 2015, 12:02:09 AM
Many parts of the world will get really ugly and dangerous if/when paper money collapses into a huge pile of worthless debt.
Can Bitcoin spark a new economy that prevents the old one from crashing too hard?

I don't know what the future will bring, but BTC is way to small to save the world or create a new economy.
2317  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: March 27, 2015, 12:00:00 AM
Is it better to save money in bank or invest it online, in real estate or maybe gold?

There isn't a single answer. It depends on your age, your goals, the sum you're having, the liquidity you want... There's a million answers.

This comes from a kid. An adult would know a school doesn't have that kind of money around.


I doubt it, this an elementary school. The oldest kid in this district is probably no more than 11, 12 tops. I couldn't see somebody that young knowing what the hell they're doing when it comes to implanting a virus on an entire network.

Hadn't noticed this was an elementary school. Well, maybe the older brother of some pupil...

Your application for bank account can be declined, your account can be closed without giving you any reason. So you have to have an account, but no one can guarantee that you will get one.


I'm not totally sure, but I think anyone can get a bank account in France. It might come from the EU. Any citizen is entitled to a bank account (getting a credit card is different). I know that to get any benefit, or social security, a bank account is required.

Back to the subject, this is just another awful lie to control all financial activities. Closing all my bank accounts within the Euro zone was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
