This is a United States Charity that is setup to help our wounded military.  I know some of the world hates us and hates our military but this is a great cause because some of our soldiers have no other choice to better themselves then go to the military, I live in a state that this is the case.

I currently work in a position that helps disabled find/maintain jobs, and right now a lot of them are young ex soldiers. 

This is a GREAT cause and something already I donate to in fiat.  Now with Overstock I can support them with BTC.

You are doing good things my friend. But what a SHIT country the US has turned into. Seducing young people to join the army with hollywood-like imager, running commercials on TV. Then sending them out in the world to create misery and suffering beyond measure. And everything is being rationalized by the need to keep america free and safe, pointing to the horrible inside job that was 9/11.

Ok, end of rant, the US military-industrial-bankster complex just pisses me off.

Buying MONA @ 0.02 BTC for 500 MONA.

Prefer that you send first, but if you have a longer forum history than me with lots of posts and I get a good feeling, I might send first. It's about the feeling of trust.
Edit: Will buy up to 10 000 MONA.

Does anyone know why a dog licks his own dick?

Maybe for the same reason you "fuck for Bitcoins but nobodys buyin"!  Cheesy

It's because he can!

I put that line there after I came up with the idea of my selling sexual favors for Bitcoin. That concept came crashing down on me when I got out of the shower this morning and caught my reflection in the mirror.

so did you try licking your junk ? if this means anything is that you have so much time and you should try do something productive  Cheesy

Come on now, who didn't try to lick their own junk?!

Does he have a source? I don't know much about Loaded, he is a super big whale right?

Yes. And he is buying for other whales to, so maybe he is the source.

I was first told they would go to an invited Gov. Auction but that was very soon after it happened.   Also no doubt in my mind Loaded already has called FBI with offers.

money talks

If Bitcoin makes it, deals like that will go down as epic stories in the Bitcoin lore. What fortunes can be made!

Oh. Pretty cool to have a player like that on the forum. Maybe good there is no such concept as insider trading in Bitcoin.  Tongue

Crazy to follow Bitcoin at the moment. So many positive things happening, and at the same time some possible big negatives looming in the close horizon. It seems very likely that BTC will be shut down in China, and the FBI coins will have an impact if they are dumped on the exchanges. The Overstock news feels so big. It will change a lot of people's perception about Bitcoin. Short term I find it impossible to say what will happen. Will we have a correction, or have we reached critical mass momentum wise, and just take shit over from here? Still I find myself doing small trades to try and increase my holdings, failing miserably most of the time.  Cheesy

No matter how it goes, I am thankful to be watching this epic thing in the history of mankind unfold. Long live Bitcoin!

"Loaded" have already told in this thread that FBI coins already have several interested buyers of exchange.

The FBI will not be selling on an exchange. Several people easily capable of buying all the coins have approached them with offers.

Edit. So absolutely no gambling/playing ofcourse.

"Much as a bank like Goldman Sachs runs software to track price fluctuations as it juggles billions of dollars, Coinbase uses its hedging software to track all of the bitcoins it manages, deciding when to buy and sell bitcoins and adjust its exchange rate in an effort to minimize risk.

Goldman, where Coinbase’s Ehrsam previously worked, uses its software in an effort to make highly profitable trades, and Coinbase merely uses its system to protect its own position. But the inner-workings of the software are similar. “It’s algorithmic trading,” says Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong. “It hedges that exchange rate risk in the background, every day.”

Choo choo, all the overstock coins will soon hit the market. Cheesy

An overstock of coins. Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

you really think they will directly sell 100% of the coins they get?!
imho they decided to jump in the bitcoin train not only to expand their marketshare, but also to make even more profit hodling some of it.. I mean, isnt that all about profit after all? Wink
I'm not sure you understand how this works: They do not accept Bitcoins directly. They use a payment processor called Bitpay that guarantees them USD, and Bitpay of course sells them on the open market.

edit: Coinbase then, but same principle applies.

ahh ok. but still, wouldnt coinbase or bitpay 'play' a little with the bitcoins they get instead of dumping it all on the market? :/

There is gonna be math science behind coinbase and bitpay's business plan regarding risk management getting rid of their coins. Probably gonna take higher margins during times of high volatility etc.

Edit. So absolutely no gambling/playing ofcourse.

Its about 1 hour left, i suggest CoinBull should start dumping his thousands of coins to move the market.

I don't think it's one hour - I think it's in a couple of minutes!

Hold on I'll find the post...

I am giving him extra time. Just in case he got into another snowstorm.

Aren't most people inside during a blizzard? Sitting by a warm fire surfing the internet?

I usually hit the slopes.

Yeah, I guess that's possible. You can get good speeds with 4G LTE..

300  Economy / Speculation / Jim Kunstler's 2014 Forecast - A year made for Bitcoin? on: January 08, 2014, 01:03:42 AM
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-01-06/jim-kunstlers-2014-forecast-burning-down-house

Wow.

I just read Jim Kunstler's take on the year ahead, and it made me realize what possibilities lie ahead. Sure, he is a big bear, but I can't disagree with much of what he says.

Like:

The worldwide rise in interest rates holds every possibility for igniting a shitstorm in interest rate swaps and upsetting the whole apple-cart of shadow banking and derivatives. That would be a bullet in the head to the TBTF banks, and would therefore lead to a worldwide crisis. In that event, the eventual winners would be the largest holders of gold, who could claim to offer the world a trustworthy gold-backed currency, especially for transactions in vital resources like oil. That would, of course, be China. The process would be awfully disorderly and fraught with political animus. Given the fact that China’s own balance sheet is hopelessly non-transparent and part-and-parcel of a dishonest crony banking system, China would have to use some powerful smoke-and-mirrors to assume that kind of dominant authority. But in the end, it comes down to who has the real goods, and who screwed up (the USA, Europe, Japan) and China, for all its faults and perversities, has the gold.


And:

I think we’re near the end of these reindeer games with gold, largely because so many vaults in the West have been emptied. That places constraints on further shenanigans in the paper gold (and silver) markets. In an environment where both the destructive forces of deflation and inflation can be unleashed in sequence, uncertainty is the greatest motivator, trumping the usual greed and fear seen in markets that can be fairly measured against stable currencies. In 2014, the public has become aware of the bank “bail-in” phenomenon which, along with rehypothication schemes, just amounts to the seizure of customer and client accounts — a really new wrinkle in contemporary banking relations. Nobody knows if it’s safe to park cash money anywhere except inside the mattress. The precedent set in Cyprus, and the MF Global affair, and other confiscation events, would tend to support an interest in precious metals held outside the institutional framework. Uncertainty rules.

Some new currency will need to replace the dollar, and I doubt it will be just a change to a new fiat. Exciting times ahead for sure!

Kunstler is not a believer in Bitcoin by the way. Mentions it in the article.

Edit: Here is what he says about Bitcoin:

I get a lot of email on the subject of Bitcoin. Here’s how I feel about it.
It’s an even more abstract form of “money” than fiat currencies or securities based on fiat currencies. Do we need more abstraction in our economic lives? I don’t think so. I believe the trend will be toward what is real. For the moment, Bitcoin seems to be enjoying some success as it beats back successive crashes. I’m not very comfortable with the idea of investing in an algorithm. I don’t see how it is impervious to government hacking. In fact, I’d bet that somewhere in the DOD or the NSA or the CIA right now some nerd is working on that. Bitcoin is provoking imitators, other new computer “currencies.” Why would Bitcoin necessarily enjoy dominance? And how many competing algorithmic currencies can the world stand? Wouldn’t that defeat the whole purpose of an alternative “go to” currency? All I can say is that I’m not buying Bitcoins.
