Why did you stop pumping TRC, NMC and other coins?

Could LTC go to $25?

ahh ,  I'm going to leave this one for the kiddies to figure out.

it all sounds very promising but, and i agree that more exposure could indeed lead to a rise in price.

wrong account?

as stupid as some people are it makes no sense to send a letter of that kind to the foundation
just saying..

OP you are genius.  Great freakin idea.

sarcasm? I don't know if those ideas existed long before, iam new here and had a little look inside the gumbling-section - did not find anything ... I think, making btc the game-currency would be a big step, and it would be more than making btc a real-world-payment-system like all this other payment systems. I asked my girlfriend yesterday, if she would be interested in paying with btc, and she said: why? It's already to easy to waste money via online-shopping. But if the btc gives you access to a world of gaming - yea!

MMORPGs will not open an "escape" like transfer money to another MMORPG, that's the whole point of MMORPGs, isn't it?
They want to lock you in every possible way and I am sure some people keep playing/paying because they don't want to lose their PGs/STATs

This is a great point! We need to understand the reality: MMORPGs are just traps for their players. They cannot allow you to cash out your money!

MMORPGs - what does this mean? Does anybody really pay for in-game-money they could not export? Isn't it a scam factually?


Search on Google for MMORPG and MMO in general, best example in my opinion is World of Warcraft.
Yes, people buy virtual money to use for their favorite MMORPG, I mean, why not?
Instead of farming gold/items and spend hours of hours searching for something I can drop with 0.1% probability, I can just buy gold and then buy it from somebody else. It's absolutely NOT a scam.

If they create a MMORPG where you can use satoshis, well, that's a different story!
Something like TF2 would work very well if players already hold satoshis

... and I don't mean dice, poker, roulette and all this stuff in which BTC is used a lot. I mean real games. At least in Germany it's legal to play online for money, when not luck but skill decides wheter you win or loose ... So, BTC could be the universal curency for the Gamer-Universe, and I think it would be extremely cool to transfer the money you found in World of Warcraft to some other Online-Role-Game - also the providers could earn via provision - so: why is this not?

The lack of a standard cryptocurrency is thus the #1 most likely reason why cryptocurrencies as a whole would fail, period. Every single new currency introduced and supported just makes it that much more likely that cryptocurrencies will die. That much should be damn obvious. And yes, Bitcoin is the first one and thus Bitcoin is the closest thing there is a standard. Thats a fact.

Listen I honestly don't care if some idiots get scammed into buying some useless and pointless coin. Hell, I'm the one that played HYIPs for over a year. But I do get mad when people undermine what is potentially the largest financial revolution I am likely to witness in my lifetime, even if those people do manage to make a couple of bucks by flipping their whatever-coin.

Sorry but I think your point of view is extremely biased, could you tell us why? Just to understand.

You, like many others, try to push BTC in every way you can (as you said), now even saying that LTC is going to damage BTC. To be honest that's pathetic and only people like you will believe it. I guess that's what FIAT people say about BTC...

I will tell you what, LTC finally demonstrates that BTC is opensource and can be forked by anybody. Are you also against opensource?

BTC is not here to stay forever, I am sorry for you but this is inevitable. It was the first but somebody will come up with a different better solution maybe taking bit and pieces from BTC or maybe a BTC fork from the official bitcoin-qt dev team.

The funniest thing is that you talk about ideals and financial revolution and you are attacking another crypto

254  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why would anyone use BTC to buy LTC? on: June 28, 2013, 01:03:20 PM
So a lot of GPU miners these days are saying it's time to jump ship to LTC. They say the pasture is greener over there in LTC land and you can get more profit by exchanging LTC for BTC, than just by mining BTC. Sounds like a plan, but can anyone explain why anyone in their right mind would use their BTC to buy the mined LTC? I mean why would anyone even need to buy LTC, in the first place? Are people really doing this or is it just some legend?

Honest question. Thanks!

Your question is (purposely) wrong, you should take away "mined" as every coin is mined and you can buy LTC with $ on BTC-e.
Some traders follow the trend

Also:


4. Biggest BTC exchange MtGox is going to adopt LTC


and some traders follow the trend. If you hold LTC and believe gox will be a fiasco, it's the best time to convert LTC for BTC, just saying..
255  Bitcoin / Press / Re: 2013-06-26 Bitcoin Black Market Competition Heats Up, With Pro Marketing on: June 28, 2013, 12:16:55 PM
As much as I like the fact that Bitcoin has some anonymity built into it, really I am not a fan of the fact it encourages illegal activity.  Part of the reason I got into bitcoin later in the game, so to speak, was because of things exactly like this!  I don't want to be affiliated with drug trafficking, porn, or even gaming sites.  So as much as this probably will help boost the price of BTC, it is actually disheartening to me.  And perhaps it does undermine the legitimacy of BTC in the longrun? 

I imagine that you can send FIAT by post instead of BTC if you want to buy illegal drugs, porn, etc.
So what, do we get rid of internet because it promotes the black market? Obviously not
BTC is just a currency, you can do exactly the same operations you can do with FIAT, probably much faster and cheaper.

The change has to come from another direction, educating people and adapting laws to people needs, not the opposite

Close the book, start hands on programming, hands on is the best way to learn.

Worst way of learning

RTFM and try to code a few examples and verify you understood
(too many times I found myself saying "oh yes, of course!" and then not able to replicate it LOL

Also choose a better, for you, book next time Smiley

We should create a group and 51% FTC until you stop with this marketing bullshit and come up with some real innovation.
