Pretty impossible to know, wouldn't surprise me if the surveyed demographic was white, straight and male, hardly surprising they would boast about it vs the opposite kind of people.

What the hell is the opposite of white, straight and male?

Black, gay and female...  Huh

I didn't express my point very eloquently, I tried to but its very hard over a media where context can be so easily lost.

My point was more so that people in third world countries or places where it maybe illegal to be gay or women are oppressed aren't going to come around shouting about their new found Bitcoin fortune vs stereotypical white, male geeks.

I'm thinking a slow grind sideways over the weekend but I think a spike to $480 is more likely than a spike down to $430 at this point.

2544  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [poll] Longest most impressive VANITY on: April 05, 2014, 11:59:40 AM
I have seen some longer ones but dobzombie is the longest on this list.

I personally think that all addresses look better in the same case. I think its more impressive to have one a character or two shorter and for it all to be in lower case.

posting this for the sake of argument

2013 bottom


now


Looking at the volume of those two charts, why do posters in here keep telling us that we can't have a bottom without a huge increase in volume? Im not seeing a particularly large amount of volume around the 2013 bottom either or certainly not masses more than there is at the moment especially if you take $400 as the bottom from post gox shut down and this is just a China lead leg down.
2546  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 1BTC or 1oz of Gold. Which one would you take? on: April 05, 2014, 11:52:51 AM
If the question is framed as you could not trade or del either for the next five years I would still pick BTC.

Its about potential so even if in 5 years BTC was worth nothing it would still be a good trade against a 1oz of gold. Furthermore were only talking about $1000ish. Who would take the safe $1000 over the potential of 10-50 x that?

The same things have been discussed to death in this forum Im sure you could find some helpful material if you looked...


In general it has the potential to cause great waves in financial markets as all of those things, thats one of the things that is so great about BTC. To what degree, nobody knows...

Thanks for the heads up OP Im sure there are many people who didn't know about this.
2549  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: April 05, 2014, 11:14:30 AM
Suer low volume overnight again then. What is it going to take to turn this ship around ?

The first double green candle we have had on the daily chart for about three weeks.

I dont see how ebay adding a category to sell virtual currency is particularly bullish. Its all overpriced and the main issue is still paypal. Ebay doesn't really care there just thinking about the fees

absolutely overpriced - yes.

but the difference is, that instead of explaining for 3 hours to the generation of my parents how to register on a exchange, etc, i can point them to ebay.
overpriced but done with one email.



Disagree, local bitcoins, bitylicious etc are quick and easy and use a proper escrow system without the perils of ebay and paypal. You dont need verification or any such like. Its made it no easier at all...

sorry, we will have to agree to disagree.

its a question of age, and a question of where in the world you are.
its much easier to point someone with a certain age and background to a ebay-auction than to something else.

the people i m talking about are using ebay (including paypal) on a daily basis.
no twitter, no facebook, no amazon.
and when their email-provider uses startTLS they need us because their "computer is broken".
but they know how to handle ebay.
sad but true. (and somehow sweet)

Thats fine you can agree to disagree all your like but its just not big news.

Your trying to tell me that the sort of person who has no twitter, facebook. Cant handle minor computer problems wants to invest and use a digital currency in beta? Um, yeah , okay.

Part of buying on ebay is that you need a wallet of your own. That either involves having your own client and learning how to use it backup your wallets etc or using an online wallet service. Again some know how is going to be needed in terms of their pub keys and details for their wallet if it is on something like blockchain.info.

On top of the fact your trying to tell me that these types of people want to invest in and use a digital currency your also trying to say that you would advise them to pay huge premiums for doing so with the risk of the deal not being smooth.

All that vs set up local bitcoins account and have all in one wallet and trust less buying place.

Besides ebay still havent said that its not against the rules to sell virtual currency as someone was banned for it recently according to another thread.

Evolve = hard fork? what's the difference. Not trying to troll, how does source change with out a hardfork which also means getting all the merchants to change and such.

Evolve != hard fork as long as the majority of miners agree on it. The project is in beta and has been evolving from day one. What are you trying to say?

I was asking if there was a difference between Evolve and hard fork or can you just change the source code? Don't know much of programming so yeah....

Changes are constantly made to the source code via GitHub. Request for changes can be pulled discussed agreed on and added to the code. On the next release these changes are in place and miners and other nodes can either accept the changes and upgrade or chose not too much the same as a lot of open source projects.
