What if WordPress just doesn't want to support terrorists?



You'd need to ask HSBC, they're pro at laundering money to terrorist organizations.

Speaking of the devil...

The moral of the story is if you have enough billions of dollars, the system will usually the turn the other cheek.

WHERE CAN I TRUST 100% TO INVEST MY COINS for garentee payback
CAN ANY ONE SUGGEST ME ?


Nothing in the world is guaranteed, especially when it comes to investments.  That's why you always see or hear those disclaimers, investing is risky, you can you lose your hat yada yada.

I'd suggest first you read up and learn as much as possible about Bitcoin and Crypto in general, ask questions, then when you feel comfortable about the technology and ideology, only then should you consider getting involved.

Once you do commit, you'll have to take the proper steps like selecting the right wallet for you.  If you plan to buy  a large amount, meaning thousands of dollars, then best to get a secure desktop wallet with paper wallet as backup.  You can download the client here:

https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

After you've downloaded your wallet on a PC with good antivirus and security software installed, you'll have to buy BTC from a trusted source like Coinbase, Circle, or from seller with high trust ratings on LocalBitcoins.  After you transfer the purchased Bitcoin to your PC wallet, it's highly recommended to setup a paper wallet as backup, which you can do here:

https://www.bitaddress.org/

Once you've secured your paper wallet in a safe or something like that, sit on it for 5 years, come back to it in 2020, and open your finest Brandy, Bourbon, or Scotch and pour yourself a glass.  Open your safe, pull out the paper wallet, Sip your drink until completion, and good or bad just take it all in.  You'll know in 5 years if it was worth it.
2544  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Big Is The Impact of Dell To Bitcoin? on: February 26, 2015, 01:44:58 PM
After Dell Embraces Bitcoin In UK and Canada, what will happen to bitcoin?

Given that its only available in UK and Canada.

How can Dell's acceptance of Bitcoin affect each of us bitcoiners?

Good for adoption and acceptance, bad anytime someone makes a purchase, since Dell immediately dumps the coin for fiat.

Double-edged sword, but I'll take it for the long run.


How come you're sure that theyre going to dump it for fiat?

Because they use Coinbase as a payment processor:

https://www.coinbase.com/merchants

Payment processor in this context essentially means Bitcoin to Fiat immediately.  Which means Bitcoin sold, which means price goes down as soon as a Bitcoin gets sold for fiat.

Coins are constantly being bought and sold at exchanges so how is there any sense in this? Are you saying bitcoin needs to be held for the price to rise? This is just some twisted logic people use because they can't find reasons for why bitcoin isn't magically rising all the time so they blame it on people selling their coins. Well what do you expect people to do? The more people that get involved the more demand their is for coins and they need to buy them from somewhere. You might as well blame the miners for selling their coins for fiat too.

Guess, you didn't catch my double-edged sword comment above...

If it wasnt for altcoins, then BTC would not be alive since over 80% of all transaction in BTC is from BTC to Altcoins or Altcoins to BTC.



Proof or link?  We'd like to believe you and all, but need some facts before you put some numbers out there.
2546  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Coinbase CEO: bitcoin is far ahead! Altcoins are distractions! on: February 26, 2015, 05:00:10 AM
Litecoin is a joke

You know Litecoin is a joke when it's lead developer and creator stops developing for it:

The fact that Charlie Lee works for Coinbase, probably the largest Bitcoin based company, is a joke in itself.

that's correct. they all are a gang. they all are related. Don't you see? Smiley

Charlie Lee(Litecoin owner) works for Coinbase. Coinbase has shareholders same guys who are shareholders for Bitstamp, BTC-China, Ripple and many others.
The same shareholders are the sponsors for many news media websites which promote Bitcoins.

Take the ones from the so called "Foundation"(Bitcoin developers) and you will find that they are connected with the exchanges and their shareholders as well. Not that they know each other but the are interconnected by running the same businesses.

Only a very stupid person should not see the facts. Smiley

Not sure what your point is, but sure I'll bite.

Dudes from silicon valley and dudes from wall street run in the same circles, so they form one huge massive circle jerk with splooge all over their faces.  Amirite?

In this threads context, I think you made a positive remark though, instead of your intended negative slant.  Synergy between tech companies and financial companies, and extending the ecosystem is always a good thing.

in the same circles is one things and running the SAME business is other thing.

Coinbase has shareholders same guys who are shareholders for Bitstamp, BTC-China, Ripple and many others. Don't take my words. Make a search.

You will observe that they own/share the same businesses; same exchanges, same news media websites(these are very important in promoting their shit).

Who? around of 6-7 people. Smiley

In other words, this gang is controlling the Bitcoin  Smiley

Hmm, I know a pair of identical dudes that own 1% of all Bitcoins in existence, have a competitor exchange to Coinbase, don't own any stake in BitStamp, BTC-China, Ripple, and don't run in the same circles as these 6-7 people or have any link to these media outlets.

These 2 aren't part of this "gang".  I'm pretty sure their launching a Bitcoin ETF soon after their Coinbase competitor exchange.

I forget their names, it escapes me...what's their names again?!   Undecided

Dang, you know shit just got real when CobLee dusts off his Bitcointalk account trying to defend his invention!   Cheesy

Not trying to incite an alt-riot, but shouldn't you focus your disdain on your boss and put him on blast instead?

It's your employer's words that brought about this thread.  Maybe prove your superior wrong, not the people here?

Yes!  BTC price will be $666 on June 6th at 6PM.  Now that would be some devil shit!

2552  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How about a bitcoin coinstar? on: February 25, 2015, 08:24:58 PM
How about a bitcoin coinstar? Seems like a great idea to me. You put coins in there, converts it to Bitcoins.

Not to be a smartass or anything, but isn't that desribing an ATM(BTM?) pretty much?
But I know what you mean.  Bring a bucket of coins, and get bits in return.  I'm pretty sure the people dispatching BTM's have minimums in place, can't dispense dust amounts for the amount their paying to be in that public place.


Doesn't a coinstar have different laws because it's only one way? You can't withdraw cash. I don't know the legality of it.

Not sure legal ramifications, but the company Outerwall have different kiosks besides Coinstar:

http://www.outerwall.com/brands/

I see those RedBox machines everywhere!  Now, if we could just convince them to accept BTC...

You guys think we'll every get to the point of 1 TH/s the size of the old USB BlockErupter ASIC miners?



I think that's the only time I'd consider re-entering mining again. 

Hey Chuck!

What you ask would likely cost enough for you to decide to re-exit the game again  Grin





Giga, MY man!   Grin

I certainly hope technology and efficiency converge at some point, where something that small, cheap, and power saving could actually mine something of value.  1 TH/s USB ASIC sticks, put me down for a couple hundred!   Tongue

2555  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to buy bitcoin without a bank? No localbitcoins sellers near on: February 25, 2015, 07:48:03 PM
So theres no sellers of localbitcoins.com around me and I don't have a bank account. I'm in the U.S.A. how can I buy a bitcoin?

Do you have a credit card or PayPal account or Amazon account?  If you answered yes to any of these, then you have options:

https://www.circle.com/en

https://brawker.com/

https://purse.io/

Try Circle first, but if you don't have a credit card, you can try the other 2 options.
2556  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The Best & Secure Android Wallet for ANDROID on: February 25, 2015, 07:43:56 PM
Mycellium, Coinbase, or Blockchain are all good options for mobile wallets.  Just don't plan to store a huge amount there and do use 2 Factor Authentication.

Great for small amounts, like maybe petty spending cash, under $100 for certain.  Always store the majority of your stash offline in a cold wallet.
2557  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should Everything Be Decentralized? on: February 25, 2015, 07:35:41 PM

USA. Who do you think developed Internet?


Correct, ARPANET was the first successful project entailing networked computers across the US.

Sure Bitcoin is and will be main cryptocurrency, i dont think lot of alts will survive in long run, maybe few with some fancy feature like anon or faster coins for small transactions when Bitcoin becomes big.

BTC is smaller and smaller.  aprox 200,000 unique BTC addresses are used per day. Part of these belong to the same owners(internal transfers). So, what is Bitcoin? Around of 100K users per day and a lot of media buzz Smiley

Wrong.



please read again my post. it's saying unique BTC addresses not transactions.

And even so, do you think approx. 100K transactions per day is a success after all the media that BTC had during these years? it's a failed project Smiley

Imagine that other payment system would have these media exposure...I think it will have millions of transactions per days and at least 10 millions users in 5 years.

I'm guessing you're just ignoring the transactional graph that's trending in the up direction for a currency started 6 years ago...

I am guessing that you are ignoring "Imagine that other payment system would have these media exposure...I think it will have millions of transactions per days and at least 10 millions users in 5 years"

If you think that 100K BTC users per day is a success AFTER all the media exposure then...it's without words Smiley

100K users per day has medium  online referral program     Grin

Does Bitcoin even have media exposure?  I don't know what the heck you're talking about?  Is there an ad campaign or TV spot you can point me to?  Did a commercial showing Bitcoin play during the Super Bowl?

You're not talking sense, man.
