Bitcoin is worth it to me in the sense that it is able to offer many things that other payment forms simply can't.  I can't take my credit card and get 20% off at starbucks without some crazy complicated process that involves a long wait time.  Neither can I trade currencies nearly instantly, or save a few percent shopping at my favorite stores without going through a (slow) gift card discounter.

That said, BTC has it's place, and it's weaknesses like a lack of purchase protection.

It's worth it to me in the aspect that it opens up doors that weren't there before, but it does have it's place along with Credit Cards and other payment forms.

You're trading on 5 minutes when we've steadily broken downtrends that have been going on for a while.  Bitcoin doesn't work on a small TA level, all you can do is get an idea from indicators to look at the big picture along with what the market is feeling at the moment.

Huboi is still $7 above the US exchange prices right now.  It's time to start heading back up after our plummet from $465.

There have been horror stories of people getting Paypal reversed a year later.  here is an example of one.

I'm unfamiliar with the exact policy that Quickpay uses, but I'd treat it the same as a credit card.  The chargeback limit on those maxes out at 120 days as seen here.  That said, Chase would still probably flag your account anyway with a good excuse from the buyer like 'just finding' a fraudulent charge

Is the idea of consent that lost on you?  Anything that consensual adults do between themselves is fair game, whereas bringing children or animals that can't say yes or understand the implications of what they're doing is a different story.

Yep, there's a sex store that accepts BTC for pretty much anything naughty here.

On a somewhat related note, there was a guy trying to sell one of his nuts a while ago.  I think that would go down as the craziest if he actually succeeded.  Who woulda thought nobody had a use for one..

Sure do

I had skimmed over the video, but oh lord that was entertaining... let's break down everything that was wrong with it:


-The school system said that the content being included was a mistake.  They very easily could have sent it home for the wrong grade.

-CPS stands for Chicago Public Schools, not Child Protective Services which he mentioned later in the video.

-Claims to not be homophobic, yet didn't flip his shit nearly as much at the idea of a condom demonstration for heterosexual sex.

-Freaks out about very young children being taught anything when it's important for their safety at the minimum they have an idea of when to report sexual abuse.

-Being that 12% of students from his own source have had sex before 13, they are gonna need to know what's going on at least to a decent extent.

-Paranoid NWO/GMO/etc ranting

Damn, here I am enjoying a snack and I learn that I'm hurting the well-being of the world.  Sorry about that guys


Most trans people would just like to live their lives as their assigned gender and get the transition over with, not do anything about someone elses life.

5th grade does seem a bit early for this kind of sex-ed, but I don't see why they shouldn't cover it any more than normal sex.  Upper middleschool would probably be a more appropriate time.


Fuck pedos, but LGBT is completely unrelated.

I've sent you a PM.  If you can forward the email from Gyft showing it was bought with BTC I'd be glad to take one for $20.

I think we'll at least test 400, whether we push through it or not is to be seen.  China is already $20 above the Bitstamp price so it's only a matter of time before we catch up.  IMO we'll either hover around the 395 area for a little bit or surge through 400 to top out somewhere around 420.

First, OP is quite obviously trying to get money out of hacked accounts.  Once the victims realize their accounts have been compromised all they have to do is call Paypal and the charge will be reversed as unauthorized, not undelivered goods where it may be relevant that it was a service.  Should for some unknown reason Paypal refuse it, they can go to the issuing Credit Card which will probably be much more on their side, considering that the loss would come from them otherwise.

Secondly, if you say you delivered a service Paypal won't believe you unless:

• The payment was marked as such with a note saying what it was
• You have proof of delivery of service
• The buyer doesn't have a way to dispute delivery
• You don't get a ton of these within a few days

Notice the bolded part.  The guys working at Paypal aren't brainless, they know when a bunch of hacked accounts send to the same person something is definitely up.

Scammer scamming a scammer, this is gonna be good
 

This isn't going to go well at all.  Paypal is well known for being reversed to the point that people won't do a 1:1 trade for it most of the time, and a newbie wants to get people to accept it from multiple sources for just a 10% cut.  If just 1/10 of those people reverse it or claim to have a 'hacked' account they're in the red.

I have to agree this time, looks much more of china actually being interested than a pump like we had a few days ago.  Maybe this can be what we need to break out of the bear market and head back towards 500~.  Looks like we're heading in a nice direction watching the volume over on Huobi for a few minutes.

I'm ready to buy back in right about now.  We seem to be showing strong support around 380 with no signs of revisiting the ~365 range.  It looks to me that we're having a more steady breakout this time instead of the sudden pump up to ~390.  Just watch for a few more hours to see if we can stay above the downtrend to be safe.

It's irreverent if he was the highest-up in the operation, he was getting a cut and in exchange he helped to move the money.  There's no denying that his insane reputation on here must have made his trades much easier to make. 

This is why I'm such a strong advocate for multisig escrow.  We really need to make it the norm and get tools for it make it easier to use so even the most 'trusted' escrows can't run off with money.  With first master-p and now this it's showing impossible to trust anybody in the bitcoin world as something besides an arbitrator.  Granted that they could still work with one user to scam, but at least that would be a bit harder to pull off.


I think we fell into his trap by thinking that he had good intentions.  By having such a large amount of trust and being one of the 'best' members in the Bitcoin community, he was probably able to make large trades with ease and not have people question him.  We don't know how much he moved online and IRL, but most people probably wouldn't have batted an eye if he popped up with a ton of money to turn into BTC.

Neither providing escrow nor using a sig campaign costed him anything, so he was making free reputation that could be cashed out with his illegitimate funds.  Smart as fuck.

Bump

Selling a fully functional thermal printer with all you need to get started.  This thing will let you ship for pennies on the dollar compared to inkjet, a real necessity for any online business.

I'm asking $100 shipped USPS.  Included will be a power supply, USB cord, and roll of labels with a couple hundred left.  A driver disk is not included, but a download link will be sent.

As always, escrow is accepted.

Gyft will allow you to use them for American Airlines, Delta, and Southwest.  They also have cards for Hotels.com, but I'm not sure if they will work for the packages that include flights.

If you want to use Bitcoin without conversion, CheapAir will allow you to book with BTC, LTC, and Doge.
