Yes, but the question is really - will it stay above dollar parity or not?
Probably not on the short term. On long term, I have no doubt about it. |

<< Bitcoin has reached parity.. YEEEEAHHHHH!!!! >>  |

There is no such thing as a poisoned Bitcoin trade, provided it's voluntary. The buyer and seller each get what they want, and it's not anyone else's business.
So true. |

Cornering a hard currency is a tough enterprise, for the reasons explained above. See Hunt brothers with silver.
Not only it's difficult, but even if you succeed, it's not sure you can turn it into profit.

When I think about it, I realise that this is exactly why we should not vote.
Because if some people like this guy argue that taxe is part of a social contract, then the closest thing to this contract is the vote. Basically when you vote you accept the idea that you will obey to people who are elected, even if you did not vote for them.
I think I will never ever vote again.

Many conservatives and libertarians make the following populist argument:
"If you don't pay your taxes, men with guns will come to your house, arrest you, and seize your property."
The implication here is that you are being extorted to pay taxes, and this theft amounts to a violation of your rights. Although the events described are technically correct -- you should expect such a response from any crime you commit -- the implication that the government is aggressing against you is false, and not a little demagogic.
Taxes are part of a social contract,...
I stopped reading here, for I don't remember having signed anything. |

I'd be more general than that and say that there is no way a currency can, all at once - be issuable by anyone (decentralized issuing)
- be easy/cheap to issue
- have limited inflation
That looks clever. |

Is there some natural law that says I can't take my matter and energy and form it identically to the specifications of somebody elses, using my own tools? If this isn't the case, how can infringing copyright be considered theft?
Forget it. Copyright laws are just plain stupid. Copying is good. The whole story of scientific, artistic and cultural developpement is a story of people copying and learning from each other. Whether or not you get the agreement of the person you copy doesn't matter. You didn't ask him. You just did it. Without the right to learn and copy people, we would not be better than apes. |

I'm not complaining from a personal standpoint, it was my stupidity, and while I lost 95btc, many could have lost a lot more. I guess that's my point, if Bitcoin is to survive as a real userfriendly service..... online backup is going to have to be at the top of the list.
You can't have some vendor who knows little about Bitcoin but graciously starts to accept it, and then loses his earnings in a mere system crash.
I don't know what more we could do. I think the bitcoin community makes it quite clear that you have to make backups of your wallet. Maybe we could had some reminders in the GUI, but I think it's best to assume the user is responsible from what he does or does not. |

Ca dépendra du cours constaté à ce moment la.
J'avoue que je vois plus ca comme une occasion d'échanger, discuter avec les gens, signer les clefs PGP plutôt que de vendre des tonnes de bitcoins, je pense que je vendrai aux alentours de 0.8€.
Moi cette façon de voir les choses ne m'intéresse pas trop mais je ne doute pas que ça plaira à beaucoup de monde. Tu as donc l'air motivé pour tenir une sorte de "boutique en plein air" où le public pourra acheter des bitcoins physiquement. Tu pourrais donc faire ce genre de chose à intervalles réguliers, par exemple chaque premier dimanche du mois. Si tu le fais je te ferais de la pub partout où je peux. |

J'ai pas d'ordres à placer, je viens avec un gros tas de bitcoins, je m'assois dessus en sirotant un cocktail (avec un petit parasol) et j'attends qu'on vienne m'en acheter, et je discute tranquillement avec les gens qui sont la.
Indique au moins ton prix de vente. |

Samedi prochain ?
Place tes ordres d'abord stp. |

Faut trouver un endroit avec wifi alors, et le mac do, ca va être pas très sexy...
Ben comme je le disais dans mon post de tête, de nombreux parcs à Paris ont un hot-spot Wifi. Il y a aussi les bibliothèques, dont certaines sont ouvertes le dimanche. L'intérêt des bibliothèques c'est qu'on peut y faire l'échange sans même avoir à se rencontrer physiquement. Il suffit, une fois sur les lieux, de communiquer via IRC et de placer l'argent et le login/motdepasse mybitcoin chacun dans un bouquin bien précis (si possible à des endroits qui n'intéressent pas grand monde). |

Mouais, moi pour les ventes je pensais plutôt me ramener les poches vides, collecter du cash et envoyer les bitcoins une fois rentré à la maison.
Ah oui effectivement c'est possible aussi. Mais il y aurait un frein psychologuque assez important pour les acheteurs amha. Quand on donne du cash, en général on attend quelque chose en retour immédiatement. |

Hum... I think I shouldn't have talked about the generationn process, but instead I should have talked about the "election" process.
My point is that CPU power has to be used in order to determ which node in the network will be in charge of validating transactions. The reward for this task is not really relevant for my point.
