I had to go offline a bit. It seems the bet offer has been retracted. No worries, I imagine we'll be going below $400 quite a few times in the coming weeks.

So circle works in other countries too? I've never tried it before, but I thought it was only on the US

I've used them before in the past and had some delays when withdrawing, although they did respond within the same day and rectified the issue for me.

Just use localbitcoins. You don't have to provide any sort of ID. When I bought some btc using the site I contacted some people through PM on localbitcoins. They told me where to meet them in a coffee shop, so I went there and we made the exchange in a few minutes. I didn't even give them my phone number or tell them my name. If you're really paranoid you can wear a hat and sunglasses, although you might look suspicious then  This sounds interesting. So after generating a Bitcoin address on your client, and forking over cash at the agreed price per Bitcoin, you stick around drinking coffee for an hour until the Bitcoin is received and verified as good (I think it takes an hour or so)? TonyT No I actually only stuck around until it showed up in blockchain.info and said no double spend detected. Maybe 2 minutes after the transaction and 5 minutes total. You could stay for 1 confirm if you want to be more cautious, which should take around 10 minutes or a little longer sometimes. Just make sure the seller includes a fee so the coins aren't limbo for a while. Also, the coins in the seller's wallet should already have some confirms before they send it out to you, because that could delay the transaction as well, if there was no fee. I don't really worry about double-spends, as I'm not trading huge amounts and I'm watching the seller as they send me the coins. Plus, I don't think people are going to bother trying that with smaller amounts. |

i know the possibilities with bitcoin protocol are endless so sometimes i just think about things you can do with encrypted decentralized nature, but i have no coding skills or whatever so im not sure if this is even possible, i guess youd just need damn good programmers for it.
what i was thinking about was:
basically a new coin the combines the functions of :
- Bitcoin
- Bitmessage
- p2p filesharing
uploader and seeder would basically be the same thing in terms of how much of this "file sharing coin" they would get.
miners would exist for the blockchain + and encrypting & securing the network so that people could anonymously seed an upload into the program.
+ is there something like decentralized ebay already, paying with BTC?
any thoughts? let me know, im interested if it would be possible to make uploader & seeder anonymous.
It is already mostly developed - http://maidsafe.net/. Of course, anyone can develop it again.  What do you get in return? I don't see any coins on this maidsafe, or is there? Maidsafecoin has been trading on a few websites already: https://poloniex.com/exchange/btc_maidTestnet 2 was just released the other day and they are getting ready to actually test some apps now on the safe network. It's supposed to be much more powerful than what the OP is asking about; basically a decentralized internet that rewards users for sharing resources on the network. So you can have apps for file sharing, email, messaging, video conferencing, game servers, etc. |

I think it's time to bump this thread.
I'm betting 0.05 BTC we just passed 398 for the last time.
How long of a timeframe on the bet? Are you willing to have an escrow hold the bet money? What exchange are you going by? |

This current rally is going to end before the price touches any of those numbers in your poll.

I'm holding maidsafe, storj and LTC. I think the first two will continue to grow in 2015, and LTC will make a comeback next year.

It can't be advertising because there in no text attached to the tx, for it to be called advertising first they need to be advertising something
Could be spaming the blockchain but i doubt that too with transaction of this size.
In other words i don't know what it is but i know what it's not.
Maybe satoshi is messing around sending random people btc. |

Ah, if I get 100$ today, what is the decline in one week?
If you had $100 last week you could have bought .3 bitcoins. Now you can only buy .25 bitcoins. Your money is losing value. this could be used against who say that the quote "you don't lose unless you sell" is bullshit lol but with fiats, you lose even if you don't sell - because their inflation goes one way. your dollar will never be able to buy more than today. If you know where to look, you can find cheaper prices, so that dollar can stretch further. The same can't be said for BTC at this point, as we're still limited where we can spend it, and we have to pay premiums to acquire it. |

8 btc
Ok, so we'll use bitstamp for the price. Since never isn't a realistic timeframe we can use 1 year. If the price drops below $400 on bitstamp within the next year I win the bet and if it doesn't you win. Also, we have to use a trusted member here as an escrow to hold the bet money. How does that sound? |

like I said my friends. The 300s are gone for good now. Get in the 400s while you can...times have changed.
Are you willing to wager 1 btc on it? |

200k per bitcoin next year
Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's not happening. Realistically, we could hope for bitcoin to continue growing in users and maybe reach the ATH next year, but anyone with outlandish predictions is simply setting themselves up for a great disappointment. Maybe not next year, but 3-4 years tops. I think we'll see 50k per coin next year minimum Perfectly realistic. You guys are just haters Do you truly believe what you're writing? Are you willing to wager some btc on it? |

One of the reasons the BTC price is very volatile is because of it's distribution and the ability of large holders to easily affect the price due to their actions. They don't necessarily have to destroy the market by their actions, as one user noted above, but the volatility that comes with a few users controlling most of the coins is definitely not good for you average Joe who may be looking to purchase a coin or two and then losing most of the value in a short period of time.

Internet down = Bitcoin Doomsday
This internet things become the major risk for bitcoin.
Gox cause $ 1200 to $ 800 , Internet Down forever will cause Bitcoin $ 0 aka dust
And that's why it's not wise to invest all of one's wealth into bitcoin. |

It matters if you're an investor who bought into bitcoin hoping for a profit. It matters if you bought into bitcoin because you view it as a store of value and would rather hold btc than fiat in the bank.

200k per bitcoin next year
Moon. Latin: Luna. Root of "lunatic." Get help  I think some people are finally started to lose their minds after losing a lot of money investing in BTC. Either that, or these people are really intoxicated or something. |

I buyed @1000+ usd/btc. Now, after a year spent by occ as iona lla looking and taking losses, I buyed one more coin because I think they are cheap.
I will never, NEVER, let my coins go for less than the price I payed. I could be not a rational investor, but I think a lot of people in the btc business are thinking like me.
Of couse for a big investor is different, but seems to me there'really lot of amateurs owning btc...
The amateurs don't really hold much btc. It's mostly early adopters and rich people. It may be more distributed than a year ago, but the userbase growth for BTC has slowed down. Didn't the distribution changed? I hope more than one whale cashed out during the " falling" .. The distribution is constantly changing, but most BTC are still owned by a small percentage of people. |
