Goodbye 600!

This feels a bit like asking which profession is better for building a house. Bricklayer, carpenter, plumber or electrician? (Pick one.)

You can do better with hammer and saw than hammer alone.

I put my money on applied bayesian decision theory with mathematics, psychology, computer science, programming, behavioral economics and game theory.

Accurate time series forecasting is hard. Instead, think big picture: Divide the utility of Bitcoin by the chance of success.

Conclusion: Bitcoin is undervalued. Prediction for the price of Bitcoin over time: Up.

Fonzie jumped the shark. Proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4ZGKI8vpcg

These are the doldrums. Same thing happened last year.

The good news was relentless, but the price didn't move. And then it did.

Anyone have an estimate on how much he stole?

I'd guess somewhere between several hundred and a few thousand BTC.

Haha! They probably figure that if there's one market segment that can actually afford Alienware computers, it would be (Bitcoin) early adopters.

Not only are they accepting Bitcoin. They're promoting it. And offering a Bitcoin discount from Day 1!

Revenue numbers from Wikipedia: US$ 56.94 billion (2013)[3]

That's... Easily more than Overstock and NewEgg and Flowers.com and every other Bitcoin business put together. And then some.

Yep! http://en.community.dell.com/dell-blogs/direct2dell/b/direct2dell/archive/2014/07/18/we-re-now-accepting-bitcoin-on-dell-com.aspx

Is this real?

*puts on tinfoil hat*

...Exactly.

History will prove you wrong, friend.

This changes the game... for... who? Businesses and financial institutions in the world's #1 financial hub.

This means existing financial entities are getting the necessary go-ahead from regulators.

This means they are getting an onboarding path for working with Bitcoin.

This means Financial technology startups are going to base out of New York instead of California.

Less than a year ago, before the senate hearings, Bitcoin being effectively outlawed in the United States was totally plausible.

And now look where we are...

Maybe nothing changes to you, right now, but in the big picture of things, this is as crucial as it gets.

Man, Blitz is such a Perma-Blitz.

Lawsky Bitlicense due "in about two weeks"?

Was this 14 BTC of your own money or 14 BTC of other people's money?

Sounds good.


Explain... Oh,


Goat, are you trying to pull a "Matthew Neill Wright" on Gurrty here? 

I think any court would find the terms of the contract insane enough to make the whole thing null and void.

And also that Goat owes Gurrty the full principal, if Gurrty can establish that he sent the money.


In a nutshell: If it can be established that you gave me a million dollars according to some completely insane contract, and the contract is found to be invalid... I don't get to keep the million.
