... You've clearly not been to universities.
I've certainly not been to universities but having invested in bitcoin as early as 2014 (!) is source of great pride for me. Maybe I'm not the brightest person on the planet, but I can recognise a disruptive revolutionary technology before everybody else when I see one  >disruptive revolutionary technology U talking about my BTCeanies? Cos I sure hope you're not talking about that Satoshi thing from the oughts, the one that hasn't made it out of beta & Is dying as we speak. Yes I originally wanted to invest in Beanie Babies but wife said "you're better off with the invisible coins so I don't have to see them around"! I bought some Beanies in any case but she doesn't know I'm a renegade investor eheh Me too! Me too! I'm a renegade and I bought a shit ton of Beanie Babies too:  That's me in my living room. These things really are priceless. Worth more than any Bitcoin. |

You can't send large amounts of cash on PayPal without verification. Not exactly true. The whole argument that dollars are the same as bitcoin is bs. You can't send dollars with same speed and convenience as bitcoin.
Can you not? PayPal and other such systems seem to transfer money instantly. You can't send bitcoins without there being a paper trail as it's all recorded on the blockchain so you could argue cash in a suitcase across the border is just as easily moved. I think the point people are trying to make is any excuse you have for bitcoin being used for bad things always applies to cash too, and in far greater numbers. fiat is the way for criminal activities, everyone telling you something else just doesn't know better. criminals dont use crypto, they have bankers that solve their needs. a great example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_of_Credit_and_Commerce_Internationalthe new HSBC scandal would be an actual case Thats what i am saying all along, criminals are using whatever they can, its not like bitcoin made them criminals,and just like they can use bitcoin, they also use fiat, you cant ban everything just because some people misuse it. What can be done, and probably will, is to regulate exchanges, making them mark accounts that are using crypto for illegal activities. cheers Exactly, the largest scale crimes are being committed are by banks, like HSBC. Basically faciliating the money laundering operation of the largest drug cartel in Mexico. $9.4 Billion is way more than any Bitcoin related crime or cybercrime. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2013-07-02/hsbc-judge-approves-1-9b-drug-money-laundering-accordHSBC was accused of failing to monitor more than $670 billion in wire transfers and more than $9.4 billion in purchases of U.S. currency from HSBC Mexico, allowing for money laundering, prosecutors said.     You want real crime? Look no further than the Banking system. |

Windows or MAC OS is fine, as long as you have security in place;IE solid antivirus software and firewall. Just make sure you backup your wallet, either to offline hard drive or USB stick, and/or Paper wallet as well. If you're really security conscious, you may want to consider one of these hardware wallets for another level of security: https://www.bitcointrezor.com/https://www.ledgerwallet.com/ |

Wife's birthday is in two weeks, I told her that we were going to have dinner in town for her b-day, but if bitcoin doesn't go to the moon soon we are probably going to have to eat this canned tuna and noodles (kids love noodles ) next month too  Family decided to get to wife's mother for the weekend (so she said) so maybe I have more time to study coindesk news now Go bitcoin, go! Waiting for dev roadmap! Hey what a kwinkie, I'm waiting for the dev roadmap too!  Personally, I'm a big fan of this type of noodles:  You could literally live off those noodles. Literally. |

Price not going up? Where is dev? @billyjoeallen stopped buying MOAR ... Is he one of the devs? Dev promised roadmap "coming soon". I'm hodling strong but children are screaming and wife hates the invisible coins. What to do? Is this scam? re wife: flowers, always flowers. This is true. Buying flowers to wife is always smart, but economically it is the equivalent of burning coins. Hopefully you don't buy your wife Tulips, AMIRITE!   |

all i hear is dread, and im planning to get into mining wit 1-3 th/s . any suggestion?
All depends on your electrical costs to see if it's worth it. The "k/WH" is usually the determinant before figuring out if you should even plug a miner in. |

I voted for ages 26 to 40. Why? Because that's where I fall under! No, seriously, it makes sense, because this is the age where you're most likely to have the income combined with the technical savvy to actually "get Bitcoin". You're not too old to get "wallets, millibits, and hashes", and you have enough money to take financial risks before your first or second divorce or your first daughter gets married. Makes sense! |

Dont they already have something called Alipay ? And just like you would argue for any other store to accept bitcoin, aliexpress already has more options for payments than most of the other marketplaces.
Correct. They have their own payment system called Alipay, which is why they don't incorporate Bitcoin: http://global.alipay.com/ospay/home.htmThey'd be cannibalizing their own product by doing so. If and when Bitcoin approaches their level of transaction volume, I'm sure they'll consider adding it as an option. |

No problems from Coinbase here. Bought hundreds(thousands maybe?) worth of Bitcoin transactions. No problems setting up 2FA, setting up Bank account by confirming the dust transactions, setting up instant buys by adding Credit card, or levelling up to Tier 2 for larger buy amounts. Coinbase fee is pretty fair, 1% + $0.15 ACH fee for each transaction: https://support.coinbase.com/customer/portal/articles/585625-what-is-coinbase-and-how-much-does-it-cost-to-use-* User is responsible for miner's fee on external transactions less than 0.001 BTC. Sending between Coinbase users is always free.
** For US Customers, orders less than $15 are charged a flat fee of $0.15. For European customers, there is a bank fee of €0,15 for withdrawals. |

...Aiding and abetting tax evasion for the rich elite?...
Isn't that a good thing? I thought you libertards money rebels hated taxes? I'm not a libertarian so no I don't think it's a good thing. I don't mind paying some taxes as long as their fair and proportionate. It's my understanding that the rich elite pay a dispraportionately large share of taxes. Why should they pay a larger percentage of their rightfully earned billions than you from your job flipping burgers? Big Banks just helps Big Biz even the playing field Not only Big Biz, but apparently Drug Cartels too!   |

While we're on the topic of banks, not only do they launder money, but they rig the Gold price as well!!!! http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/02/24/us-usa-banks-probe-idUSKBN0LS07P20150224It seems they huddle amongst eachother like a frat or old boys club... HSBC Holdings Plc, Bank of Nova Scotia, Barclays Plc, Credit Suisse Group AG, Deutsche Bank AG, Goldman Sachs Group Inc, JPMorgan Chase & Co, Societe Generale, Standard Bank Group Ltd and UBS Group AG ...and just pick a price out of thin air to set the gold price and other precious metals. And we all thought just the stock market is rigged! (Flash Boys, read that book if you can) Can't trust these fucking banks man...  And here we are squabbling over measly Wordpress removing a Bitcoin payment option. |
