Far from it. I'm just not into toys, but I'll be happy to take your lady to a swingers' club.


It would be nice to start, but if you're old enough to remember the early days of the web, there were several directories 20 years ago, and I believe they're all gone. What has survived is large retailers which also sell stuff from smaller ones. This may be an example to follow.

Whether the BTC foundation is a good or bad idea isn't relevant because it's needed.

There is a need for a central institution to regularly update and upgrade the code. There are decisions that must be made about the future, like how to accept a growing number of transactions. Who could do that if there were no foundation?

It's a huge opportunity for sure, but Africa still needs exchanges where someone can convert his/her BTC into cash or send it to a Mpesa account.

Effectively, you're not dying. Hack doesn't kill!

Besides that, regarding BTC, I don't know how I measure against others, but I would say I have about 2% of my assets in BTC. So, even if someone hacks all my BTC, I will survive.

It's the Greek government who should put some capital control in place. All the money is leaving the country, and this government isn't doing anything. They just watch the beast bleeding. It will die soon.

I've met them, I've talked to a few them, and they don't understand much about economy. Amazingly, my last time with people with so much misunderstanding was in Germany. It's always the same story, it's about people who can't support themselves, and who expect the state to pay for their living. Spain is getting better, to my great surprise, I've met a Brit and a French who moved to Spain to work! There are opportunities everywhere...

The market sets the price. An exchange only shows a small piece of it. I've never used bitstamp, nor bitfinex or coinbase. There are many competing exchanges, and that's the proof they don't control anything (even though, it's not a perfect market).

Nice idea, but you may divide it into several sub-lists.
One sub-list for porn and drugs, one for gambling, another for computer equipment...

Or am I the only one not to have any interest for cryptosextoys?

Is this serious?

I don't understand why barely one week before it begins, they're not giving the hours of each conference, yet.

The search results depend on the user!

If you want to have clear, unbiased search results, you must not use Chrome (uninstall it if you have it) and you need to block all cookies from the domain google.com

That's what I've been doing for years.

There is! At least as long as the yuan isn't fully convertible. You've got to show your passport to exchange any foreign currency in China, and when you leave, the amount of yuans you're taking out it limited. BTC means freedom to Chinese people.

That's in America. Other countries have different deadlines.

Yes, IS people are using BTC to watch porn!

Nothing on my agenda, yet. And next block reward halving is way after that date.
So, is it something worldwide or some US only happening?

Come on, we're still far from that! I still have a savings account which brings me some interest.

I'm not using the BTC core software, so I can't share your enthusiasm, but I'm eagerly waiting for the next block halving. That one is a big issue.

When the Spaniards and the Portuguese will see what happens if Greece leaves the Euro, they'll shut their mouth. There won't be any domino effect. Greece will just collapse if it leaves the Euro. Thousands of Greeks will emigrate to other countries, and there will be people starving among those who stay, I mean people dying from hunger, if the country leaves the Euro. Imagine that all civil servants, all policemen, will no longer receive a salary, and that the people who have money in the bank will not be able to withdraw it. Nobody wants that, unless those who don't understand the situation.

There's no reason why the Euro zone should explode because of one smallish country leaving the club.
Then, it's very different from Cyprus, there aren't many wealthy people with big assets in Greek banks.

It looks more and more like we're heading for a clash between Greece and the rest of Europe. I'm all in favor of Greece leaving the Euro zone, but we shall be ready for some trouble in the financial markets before everything's settled.

I'm sorry, but this article is complete BS!

It states that BTC created 250,000 jobs in 2014. They don't explain where they've got that number, but this is obviously very far from the truth. If someone wants to prove me wrong, please explain who's paying the salaries of those quarter of a million people. Where does the money comes from?

I estimate that if there are 2,500 people working full time on BTC projects in the world, that's already huge.
