Don't worry, it's one of the many exciting new functions present in the million-dollar forum software that's been in development since January 2014. The one that's going to be out "when it's ready", according to the most recent staff declaration. You can check out the beta!... Which is behind a Bad Gateway error indefinitely. Try forum.epochtalk.org Nice! Another $2.5 million US, a couple more years of testing & development, and that baby will be on par with circa 1990 BBS software!  Were you actually one of the people that donated to Theymos? 1. The money was not donated to thermos, why would anyone do that? 2. Have donated absolutely no money to this forum, due to not being totally retarded. Or you just like to complain about all of the injustices on the internet?
I guess. If by "complain" you mean "point fingers and laugh," that is. But seriously, what's your point? If you see somebody getting mugged and raped in the street, you keep your head down and walk on? Because you're not the one getting raped, so you STFU & mind your own business? Luckily, this is not a case of an innocent getting raped, but an obvious case of b2b (bitcoiner on bitcoiner crime). So evocative of hearty, childlike laughter, not compassion and intervention, from me |

Sure. Also heroin. Heroin is just a tool which wasn't created to make junkies. But make junkies it did. That's why it's B& nao. |

Once LN kicks in everyone will use LN and few will care to use on-chain, because LN transaction is still a real bitcoin transaction ...
...until it isn't. US$ transactions were once gold transactions, but once US$ kicked in, everyone started using US$ and few cared when US$ got decoupled from gold. |

You're one of those chemtrails fluoride anti-vaccine anti-GMO whackjobs, apparently. You NEED the evil conspiracies to explain why it's not your fault that you're such a complete loser.
Oh, here's another conspiracy denier / dancing israeli shill. Interesting correlation with the bigblocktardness. Libertardian conflict resolution intensifies...  |

... Abandoning Bitcoin, because some developers want to ruin it for everyone, is not an option... We will stuck in there and ride this to the end.  It's not about "some developers want[ing] to ruin it for everyone," but the fact that it's possible for a handful of developers to ruin it for everyone. Turns out Bitcoin ain't the "mathematically-secured, trustless currency, not a plaything of corruptible h00mans & their frailties, like that filthy fiat toilet paper." |

Have you told them history of bitcoin? How it basically went from 0 to $1000 in couple years?
The story of every Ponzi scheme ever? Isn't this situation likely to repeat itself?
No. Otherwise it would make sense to invest in every crypto ever. Every coin has gone from being worth nothing to being worth something (an infinite increase in value). You don't have be blind bitcoin follower [...]
You pretty much do. Bitcoin is not a ponzi scheme for not having a system controlling it or someone benefiting constantly from it, I don't think you can compare it to even them, it may not rise massively in price like it did but I don't see why it will fall in price for no reason as well. >not a ponzi scheme for not having a system controlling it or someone benefiting constantly from it Sure it's a Ponzi. BTC hodlers benefit by roping in clueless marks convincing friends & family that gambling on investing in Bitcoin is a really smart idea. Perhaps a distributed, p2p Ponzi, but a Ponzi nevertheless |

Nothing can be done, if the internet goes off. Some alternate solutions might be initiated if such situations arise. I believe advancement in internet will take place in the future.

All correct. What does it prove again?
Care to answer the part regarding yourself? Why are you here. Nothing better to do?
Myself? Well, made some money selling BTC to clueless rubes finance revolutionaries like yourself, so I guess that makes me a criminal. If not in the legal, then certainly in the moral sense. As far as having nothing better to do? Meh. I'm atoning for my past sins, Friend. By educating your potential victims. And having a chuckle or two in the process, won't lie. |

~0.02 BTC  ? Roughly $8 US at current rate, $24 at bubble-burst?... Pre-bubble so likely less than that. Bought that only to test how it works and managed to earn the rest. Are you saying I should've spent more? Mom already uses fiat grownup money, so no problems to solve. That's the point -- Bitcoin, while creating shitloads of problems, solves none.
It does solve some problems and can be pretty useful, but that's not a topic of this thread. If you/your mom don't see any benefits, simply stay out. I don't have any interest in forcing/convincing anyone to use (or "invest" in) Bitcoin. That's one of my favourite bitcoin's features, it's completely optional to use. Well, not unless you're a criminal/totally nanners, that is.
Which one are you? Over 900 posts in less than 5 months on Bitcoin related forum, that's way to much for someone not interested in Bitcoin. >bought before the bubble You joined this forum on Dec. 13, 2013, *right as the bubble popped.* >managed to earn the rest Right. Discovered crypto & went to work. Your posting history from back in the days: K3B6iWcbWA1fE9kWEDgDo6SKsBewfXckvv

Isn't theymos in possession of 40,000 bitcoin for "forum maintenance and emergencies"? I highly doubt that the cost of running this forum will ever add up to (what at current price is) 16 million dollars...
Lol no; according to Thermos, the money's gone  The forum money I held has largely been spent now, mostly in the forum software project. Slickage was paid $100,000 per month in all of 2014 and until May in 2015. Since June 2015, they've been paid $50,000 per month. The exchange rate varied substantially throughout this period, but the end result is that most of the BTC was spent. The rate ($85,417/month average as of the end of 2015) might seem high to people unfamiliar with professional software development, but it's normal. The project is quite a bit over-due and over-budget (the original estimate was 1 year and $1.2 million), but I've been constantly monitoring Slickage, and they've definitely been making solid, continual progress, so it seemed correct to continue to project. The vast majority of total forum revenue was from ads, not donations, but to the extent that donations were used: this software was in fact the main stated goal of donations. As I've said before: I have absolutely no personal relationship to Slickage, and I receive no "kickbacks" whatsoever. I've never even met them in person. I first learned of Slickage from Warren Togami, who had previously done a lot of work for the forum and was himself recommended by gmaxwell and others. (I've also never met Warren in person.) The current status of the software is that it's ~85% done. The core of it is entirely functional and often much better/faster than SMF, though there are still several missing features. There will be a public beta before the end of the month, I think, at which time I'll post more about what's left to be done. Also see http://epochtalk.org/ for more info. |

So you're saying that to get Mom interested in ...
Nope. I just stated few quick examples of how you can get bitcoins without buying them on exchange site (personally I bought total of ~0.02 and hold/spent/lost bit more than that) . ~0.02 BTC ? Roughly $8 US at current rate, $24 at bubble-burst? How, pray tell, did you plow through such a princely sum? If your mom can't find a way to earn it and buying is not worth the discount she could get - tell her to stick to fiat. Problem solved.
Mom already uses fiat grownup money, so no problems to solve. That's the point -- Bitcoin, while creating shitloads of problems, solves none. Well, not unless you're a criminal/totally nanners, that is. |

Bitcoin and Ethereum facebook groups on Venezuela went secret and I think miners may think twice about buying mining equipment there.... the problem wasnt bitcoin at first, they cant stop people from trading p2p, the problem is mining as there are some big farms there that contribute to the power shortage... i even saw a video once of a huge farm in Caracas and a guy happily smiling to the camara https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4azvhf/venezuelan_prosecutors_present_two_captured_men/d15m8m3 And you know what other country has subsidized electricity? China. China has subsidized electricity  |
