I have heard of so many "would've, could've should've, etc" me included. I made the mistake of purchasing a mini rig  when btc was sub 8 dollars (yea, those coins would have been worth millions at the peak, even today they would be worth around 1.6 million. But I cant cry.. While I could have been rich, my financial picture is much much better than it was before bitcoin, I just wish I would have not sold all the coins that I had for just a few dollars a piece..

Wasted much too. I believe anyone who were there early did.

Can't be blamed for it. Nobody knew what was coming.

Interesting stories guys.

@Franky1: No, family law and notary (french notary tradition not the same thing as in the rest of Canada, must have a law degree in QC) are VERY boring. Usually attracts women.

Notary is only non contentious matter, validates authentic documents etc. Paper scratching all the way.

Family law, divorces, who gets kids who does not -- What a waste of time.

Thanks for the comments.

Franky1: I enjoyed answering little test questions, even if they were quite futile.
For your next time, a good question that can't really be found on google would be : What do you do and in what order when your client is served an application initiating proceedings.
Answers are all in the Code of Civil Procedure of Quebec.

Also, dont get me wrong, i kept these BTC not because i believed it in, not because i analysed the whole thing and said to myself it could become big, not by faith or anything but just because i didnt really cared and the time went by.

BS here is so strong i can smell it over the internet. Damn.


Sure... don't hesitate to share your story too.

I first heard about BTC back in 2010. I installed and set up Multibit back in 2011, and promptly did nothing with it. Never even grabbed anything from a faucet. Didn't know they existed. Just saw various random posts in weird places. "Oh look, that person is giving that other person some of those internet point things." I remember going to MtGox very early on, back when BTC maybe a few dimes or a dollar or something. They wanted me to wire some money halfway around the world. Wasn't worth the risk to me to get some internet point tokens that I'd be handing out to people I'd never met.

The computer I installed it on went into storage, and I didn't open it again for a long time.

Then when BTC hit $30ish, I figured they were on top of some colossal bubble that was going to crash. BTC was going to be worthless. I figured I was seeing the end of the magic internet point system. That didn't happen. I started a new job, and went back to ignoring it.

Suddenly, it was November of 2013. I had stabilized myself financially, and BTC wasn't ignorable anymore.

I bought .1 BTC in November through CoinBase, at $700/BTC. I watched it climb and climb and climb, and then crash. In a panic, I transferred the value of my BTC to LTC, which crashed a lot harder. I converted my .1BTC to 3LTC, and then over the next few months, I watched the BTC/LTC value diminish more and more.

Since then I've been reading a lot and researching a lot of things and I'm at about .5 BTC across several wallets in Electrum, although I'm trying to get an Armory setup going on my Linux Mint machine. Never really used Linux prior to this, other than a few Live CDs used for data recovery and testing. I've also been talking to others about BTC to see if I can't seed the idea in their mind that maybe there might be something to this whole thing, something more than a get-rich-quick scheme, although you could probably do it if you're clever enough.

All in all, it's been fun.

Good stuff.


well.. you failed

i prefer to know lawyers that dont just brush over a high school explanation, or a google search, i prefer lawyers that see something, learn the basic meaning, dig deeper to understand the context and origins, EG which holds more power, which can be truly enforced no matter what, and which can be sidestepped or ignored.

so goodluck in your endeavors.

i will ask one last question..

do you know the difference between a normal court room, and queens bench

No such thing in Quebec. This was wiped with the Quebec Act in 1775 ish. I believe you do not grasp the importance of the Qc's dualist system.

You also don't seems to understand how they teach law in university. Its not a history class (they sometime do a quick history introduction) or the difference between this and that is...

We analyse and study legislative texts, the procedure, the interpretation, the "jurisprudence", administrative law, etc.

A good question any lawyer in QC would know is what is the difference between "réputé'' and ''présumé'' in the Civil Code of Québec. Pretty basic.
287  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What Bitcoin did for me on: August 01, 2014, 03:11:09 AM
lawyer test.

describe the difference between "lawful" and "legal". without copy and pasting from some google search

Actually as i explained in a previous post about a month ago i am from QC, Canada.

Meaning that we have a dualist legal tradition. Our formation is on Canadian comon law and French civil law. Quebec has a dualist legal system, English public law (individual - state relations) and French civil private law ( relations between individuals). We mainly work with the Civil Code of Quebec and the Criminal code (federal).

Plus i am not used to english legal terms, QC is a french speaking province.

Plus if i wanted to answer your question googling it would have been easy lol. Did a 2 sec search and the diff. is that a legal act is authorized by statute law (aka wirtten text) as opposed to a lawful act which is authorized by case law (aka Comon law).

This is a pretty bad lawyer test btw. Better one would be something like what is the difference between administrative law/courts and judicial law/courts.

Long story short, started trading BTC in 2011, continued when D3 came out, traded Diablo 3 gold for BTC and by paypal too. I was a diablo botter (old school mmbot on D2 LOD and naturally botted D3 when it came out)

Didnt know much about them back then, was just stacking them for the fun of it. Also sold a lot more stuff via paypal in these years too.

Recently educated myself on the mechanics and made a little excursion in mining for fun.

Anyways, i am now 23 years old student, will be a lawyer in a year and can afford almost anything i need without even needing to ''work''.

Have a big ass apartment packed with stainless appliances, car, live better than most my friend and all of this self earned. Have not had a job in more than a year.

Having piles of cash also feels good.


Just wanted to share, don't hate.

Bitcoin is more valuable than gold in the future IMO.

You are either 12 years old or plain retarded.

Gold is historically the most valuable thing and will remain.
Does not need electricity let alone the internet. Gold needs nothing...  No internet no BTC.
Take a serious SHTF situation and your BTC are vaporized. Gold will always remains.

Conclusion; you are retarded.

Funny when you think that if you count the PSU costs @ 75$ you never ROI a .72 BTC S3 miner. (at 15% increase diff and 350w @ 0.1$ Kw/h)

Only winner here is Bitmain.
300  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: well, ether sale has started. on: July 23, 2014, 01:10:06 AM
fuck that


can you explain why?  I like more info than just "fuck that"


After every presale and release i've seen the price went down every time (and eventually the coin died).

Also if they had confidence in their ''revolutionary coin'' they wouldnt do a presale, especially a presale in BTC, the only true crypto.

Why would they want BTC if their crap was better ?

What i see is the same old alt coin scam.
