I tried explaining that to mom too.
Amway isn't paying her to market their goods, she's paying them to market their goods. It's backwards.
So it's a scam. No, not a scam. Nothing is being mis-represented. paying them instead of paying her, you've said it. How is that not mis-representing?

The thread will probably keep me entertained for at least 2 hours MLM is not a scam. It's just the people who exploited it.
MLM or aka Network Marketing is one of the BEST Marketing Idea ever created.
Bitcoin is NOT like MLM.
Like those at the top? Did that tell you a MLM salesmen? Entirely not.

Do you get payed extra to post this thread?

|

Yeah Bitcoin is a sort for MLM too, so MLMs can't be a scam, rite?
|
|

Many thousands of people make an excellent living via multi-level marketing. Not sure why you think its a scam. A lot of the products (such as AmWay) are excellent as well. What I hoped happened is that you educated this person about bitcoin which possibly might open the door for MLM to use bitcoin in some fashion.
I don't find this response the least bit ironic.

shorting it at 2.x is crazy... the most you can make is 2.x ... most likely .x
But long it could multiple if held long enough....
I don't know about that. With a flurry of news articles on the horizon about the end of bitcoin I think we'll see another frenzy of dumping which could take bitcoin to levels where we see enough people abandon mining that for the few people still trying to move these things around the blockchain the process gets very, very slow. Here is your role model, bears. Even bards make songs about him now. He has redefined speculation! It now can be driven not only by fear and greed but now also by jealousy. LOL As smug as ever.

I disagree, ASICS are populating the world, thousands and thousands of them being built and sold. Bitcoin mining is the only thing an ASIC does, once someone has an ASIC they are a guaranteed bitcoin supporter. The ASIC population of the world is setting up the basic network, the core (dispersed) infrastructure that forms the foundation of bitcoin's future.
It will just take a few years for the whole thing to be rolled out: Mass-ASICS and an upgrade of the exchanges is what's currently happening. ASICS aren't killing bitcoin at all, they are simply the foundation and they will get cheaper too, and having a network of tens of thousands of ASICS (will probably end up being hundreds of thousands) is plenty! We don't all need to be mining.
More companies developing ASICS is good news! More ASICS being built at all is good news, after all, they are BITCOIN ASICS!
(my bold emphasis) Absolutely. ASICs are solid-rocket boosters for Bitcoin. With Bloomberg on the verge of legitimizing this revolutionary currency, Core Dev with a load of point-fo-sale improvements I agree with the OP. A rally is inevitable! where are you on this picture?

... but this is very timely now. This is from the era of pirateat40 and his massive BTC short play. With hindsight we now know how it is playing out. Now here is the interesting part what will be the BTC / USD exchange rate by the time the US courts finish passing judgement on pirateat40? This may well set the record for a "short squeeze".
Face it fishing out the lastest novelty and attributing it as the next thing that will bring us "to the moon" doesn't work any more. I would even say pirate got demystified, his absolutely pathetic performance and the little gain he got out of his crime sheds a light onto the bitcoin "economy" and reveals it for what it is. A bunch of layered investment schemes, with the majority represented in this very forum. The only thing that brings us up is: New cash and more of it. Again wait for the gox debatable to play itself out then see if we get capitulation and then we can talk about it. tl;dr Bulls won't move until they want to.

Try again in a year or so.

Yes, in order to protect the income of my ASICs, I will step into exchanges and purchase a lot of bitcoins I do actually believe you.

I'm a short term speculator, so tell me how am I supposed to use localbitcoin or OTC?
Ripple might have issues, but it's still the best potential alternative we've got in that regard. Uh and you do know ripple is endorsed highly by bitstamp, don't you?
|

fyi noobs, this is "fracturing" not decentralization of the market. The latter to remain absent until a true peer2peer exchange arises.
fracturing just makes bot manipulation easier because it costs less to do so. not good for bitcoin
Ripple is the closest thing and is pretty much the most hated project in this community. So now here is your "hope". Cripple ... I would prefer localbitcoin or #bitcoin-otc. Neither of which is an exchange in the sense that it would replace mtgox, at least for most users.
|
|

I have a feeling MtGox will soon burn to the ground...
this thread will be irrelevant,
I vote that chartbuddy move the Stamps thread now.
I think that six month from now the top bitcoin-dollar exchange is going to be one that is not currently listed on bitcoinity. Care to tell us which one?

Imagine if bitstamp stopped withdrawals too -- we'd all be rich!
That made me LOL

Hmm so I guess that means no?
