SMH at this. I had never considered anyone would use the BTC logo for anything other than btc, mostly because it's new and not the most popular thing in the world. But to have this as a pill imprint... people are shits and this is the last thing bitcoin needs, a bunch of these popping up on the news at a school or something.

Already here I'm waiting for this to work, so that other banks see the light and adopt this

*most interesting man voice*

Usually I buy drugs.

And when I do, I insist on using a method of payment that is not publically recorded on millions of computers around the entire world forever.

Children, just say no to block chain drugs.

LOL, I was wondering when we would realize we let the most important part of bitcoin go to a nation that we are at odds with economically. I'm not mad, I'm just bitter we didn't spend more time as a country trying to improve mining technologies rather than the code. We were at a loss already, we were never in a position to compete with the Chinese on mass production, ESP of an electronic. Half the shit in my house comes from China. They figured out production ages ago.

Rawdog makes my heart race ROFL, I'm getting amped just reading his posts. You can taste the energy and crunkness. It's zesty.

I'm investing time to generate bitcoin. No need to convert my hard earned fiat to a currency with limited use. Better to mine with ones mind, and efforts, instead of diverting value from my other income streams. This is an experiment still at this stage, and while I trust in the protocol (I can't see a massive, overnight devaluation, for example) I don't believe in putting alot of eggs in one basket. I always tend to drop or lose it   

I think alot of folks got confused on the run up from the mid 400s to here. It coincided most beautifully with the Brexit thing, I believe some people thought we were 'going to the moon' and were a bit dissatisfied when we didn't leave the atmosphere. We will need some time for the actual mechanic the halving employs (reducing coin generation speed) to have an effect of the market. All this price movement you are seeing at the moment, is simply speculation.

Merchant adoption, user friendliness and security for unskilled users. And oh yeah, a highly volatile exchange rate that is driving purely by media.

I sit in a dark cave, pallid with Donald Trump hair, and rock back and forth referring to them as 'my precious'.

Sometimes I play pog with physical bitcoin.

But mist of the time, I just spend them. Because, well, it's money.

See? This is what I'm talking about. Not a personal attack, but all 'girls' don't like to spend their time shopping. This would be akin to saying we could get 'boys' to use more bitcoin if GameStop accepted it. Or if they only sold porn for bitcoin. It may be hilarious, but generalizing the motivations and the behaviors or an entire group of people is called stereotyping.

I'm black. If they sold car and car audio accessories for bitcoin, would more African Americans use bitcoin? Hell naw (black folks dont discuss bitcoins a whole lot, in my experience). But that's the tone this thread takes.

Hehe, this is one of those 'come here to drive up your post count threads'. I love how some of our least English speaking members feel the need to start these open ended 'thought exercises' about hypothetical situations or opinions in the Bitcoin sphere that are irrelevant. Thus would be akin to me making a 'Beef, chicken or fish?' thread. It might be slightly interesting, hell, it might get 20 pages, but at the end if that ride you never really accomplished anything.


And to address the question, since I stopped getting a bitcoin salary, I haven't had so much that, if I lost all of it, it would be an issue. I tend to keep less than 100 USD equivalent, there is nothing else I need bitcoin for accept internet orders. Hell, you cant really use it for too much else, no storefronts accept it around my way.


Martingales always do this. This is also how I took my first major gambling loss. Probability sucks   

Lol! I said this like a million posts back. If I were female and I came across this thread while educating myself about bitcoin, suddenly, I wouldn't be so interested in bitcoin anymore

Women spend money. Damned well if you ask me. Give them opportunities to earn bitcoin, and the spending part, well, that just comes naturally

It isn't any more complicated than that.

I want to see if the courts feel the same way about the 'code being the law'. While this whole thing went down according to contract, the spirit of the act shows that the hacker wasn't acting in good faith. I personally don't have an issue with what happened here, I'm glad this happened now instead of later I mean. But I feel a judge is going to look at this a immediately think 'he stole this money from the other group participants', this is a brand new territory legally we are exploring with this..


Eth should have never picked up the heavy load that is the Slock.it DAO, and now it has to carry said load on its back until it reaches its destination.

What are some features of your coin that are a unique offering in this space? What algo, and is there a development timeline? What issue of concern is your technology addressing?

I say that to say this. Unless you are doing something novel, or plan to advertise so much that it at least looks novel, save your time. This market is flooded with coin offerings at the moment, and the public is wary of the ICO model at the moment because of our mutual friend the DAO. It's 'too soon'.

If you look at the chart in polo, you see that the train is pretty regular, and comes around quite often. Takes a slow lull to high 30s low 50s SATs per, and spikes up to the stratosphere for a bit. Looks like an EKG but for the record, we are in one of said lulls as we speak. Wait for the peak.

As I said in another post, black magic is responsible for keeping the price propped up  but seriously, I'm thinking someone is spending a grip to keep the price as elevated as possible, so they don't go into 'the dump' with sub 10 prices already on the table. Because we can all agree that before it goes up, this ship is going down, and quickly. Like others. I just don't understand why this isn't sub 7 right now. People have panicked much more for much less deal.

There isn't enough public relations in all of the World to mend this wound. I imagine they will attempt to rebrand a bit, or at least reassure folks the asset is now 'safe', but it's a bit too late for that now as this debacle has been going on for damn near a month, slow motion car crash style. This was too protracted in the public eye, and got way more attention than it should have due to the record breaking size of the crowdsale. But, crypto memories are short; it will pop back up in a few years with a slightly different message and dev team, and we will be discussing this again

This. I would also be very concerned if they were able to access your wallet without needing the correct/an actual priv key. Even if only a dev had this function, this would be a huge security issue and a possible vector of attack in the future.

If you don't control the key, you don't possess the coin.

After the soft fork option kind of fell by the wayside, this was literally inevitable. Sure, the community at large has made this decision, but I'm sure most of the people that voted actually have a dog in this fight. Anyhow, I will be glued to an exchange chart watching this like a hawk. I may paper trade this to see how I would have done, but unless this shows very strong, very clear indicators I will not be speculating. But this saga has been one of the most epic tales on this forum for some time. Never a dull moment I guess

But someone tell me, what black magic is responsible for propping up the price like this lately? If Vitalik got eaten by a grue, I don't think the price would move a whole lot, LOL.

I think a discreet icon, and not a texture, would be more appropriate for this brand. This is a financial instrument. Lisk is a 'cool' name, but for the level of investment expected, especially given the popularity of assets like this ATM, I think it is a bit juvenile. What does an art asset from what is arguably the best real time strategy game ever made, have to do with a crypto asset? I only say this because the traditional finance world is watching us from the sidelines, and laughing at us a bit. They are not gamers, they are older men in nice suits. The appeal would be lost on them. VC comes from those that generate value, I think pitching an investment product aimed towards a demographic that doesn't make income is questionable. This isn't an attack, it is a criticism. I have none of these and most likely won't buy any, but I think a better attempt at branding, that is more appealing to a larger demographic, would be a better choice.

 And I feel this way about Ethereum's brand (ether is fleeting and unsubstantial, these are not qualities I want associated with my money.) And waves (waves of what? Is the project going to make waves? what is wavy dammit!?)


This would be akin to me making a new, useful coin and calling it dontforgetthemilk coin. Do you see how I just shot myself in the foot regarding people taking my product seriously?

I would have a PayPal account, except for the fact that they are evil and will freeze your account for no good reason, then seize your funds damn near indefinitely. No, I'm not bitter one bit.
