China is far to smart to attack the U.S. It would kill millions and to what end? Better to keep us buying and funding a future Chinese led planet. Although it is worrying for the west, China is not doing anything differently than any emerging superpower. Let's hope it never leads to war.

I can't imagine that congress and the senate would fund bitcoin mining. For that matter I can't see them ever understanding bitcoin.

Can I just derail for a moment to say that Waterworld was one of the worst damn movies I have ever seen.  [/rant] |

Wrong Topic, he should write " Looking for free btc "
Madam, we've already established that. Now we are haggling about the price |

I'm not so sure man. I see huge investments of capitol each week. Hundreds of millions of dollars and growing. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see a stall?

After application of a Fibonacci sequence multiplied by a Martingale constant and divided into the total market share, I have determined that I haven't a clue what the price next week will be.  |

You guys are always keen to look out for propaganda and disinformation from spy agencies. Well I wonder about this. I have no information or evidence, but this is the kind of story the CIA likes to get into the media. I think it's quite possible some analyst thought this would hurt OBL's legacy. It certainly could also be true, but there is no one to ask except the people who claim it to be true.  |

Is it terrible that I don't care?  Bitcoin already has what it needs to get it's shot. It is now out of our hands and into the hands of a more general audience. Not "mainstream", but people of all sorts are using it now and I no longer feel I have to do anything to help. My gut feeling is that it can no longer be stopped. |

How stupid is this?
Super duper stupid! Fortunately the idiot who said this stuff has no idea about how BTC works. UK Govt. should regulate Accenture instead.
Ooo, good find. |

People who use these dark market shit deserved to get ripped off.
STOP BREAKING THE LAW ASSHOLES.
I sympathize with your sentiments. However, not everyone in the world has justice under the law. In some places it is perfectly moral to break the law because the laws are immoral, IMO. But I suspect most darknet users are not in this category. They are trying to avoid taxes or the like. When their money goes missing they cry for help. "My partners in crime stole my money!! Help me government, I'm a victim!!!" |

band are made, but people keep using the currency!!!! the power of bitcoin  Amen. The reason the list is surprising is because most of the bans are utterly ignored. It is also hard to use the word "ban" so broadly. Some of those countries have restrictions, but not outright bans. |

I have always found investing to be a tradeoff between risk and upside potential. An actual HYIP would be an extremely risky bet with little chance of return. However if it does pay-off it is a big reward. Anything more than a tiny investment of capitol is foolish. On the opposite end of the spectrum is a low risk / low yield investment. These are safe bets that will likely pay off with a small gain. the bulk of ones wealth is better stored in this kind of investment.
Here at bitcointalk a HYIP is a scam. Ask the issuer where they are based and licensed? Mom's basement? If you are handing money over to an unlicensed and unregistered business you are not an "investor", you are a "mark".

Any "warning" that originates with a youtube video can safely be ignored. What crackpottery. The only source he sighted (in the part I saw) was when he said "I was told". By who?

Lol, I know right. There are theories about people hiring these accounts to move the market. No one really knows. It could be just one person who has some motive to create countless accounts. Perhaps they lost money in a foolish "investment" or they just like human energy and have limited ways of getting it. |

We are discussing the feasibility of creating our own hosting location, having our own facilities, not giving another random 3rd party access to the server. I thought you were aware that the hosting company staff were the weak link in this hack. The way to get around that, is to change to a facility operated by an employee of the Bitcointalk. That would involve building our own infrastructure, hiring staff to monitor its physical location, etc. That would also involve owning property to build on.
If we just rent server space from an already established company, we face the same issues. Not having complete trust of the people who have access to the server. So if we are talking about just changing hosts to something that isn't a large operation in a giant datacenter to a shared location with a couple of other people, we still have to worry about the human factor.
This is all quite clear to me. It's expensive to set up. It's not like you DL a wordpress style and host it on GoDaddy. Thanks for explaining. |

Why are we all of a sudden getting so many conspiracy threads thrown up on the forum?
We had another guy only posting links.
3-5 threads a day with a new claim that no one ever heard of.
Only them... Because they made it. LOL
There's a lot of fighting going on around the world. There are a lot of nukes floating around. What standard of evidence do you expect before you say "OMG, maybe someone actually did drop a nuke!" ? This "reverse paranoia" that everything must be fine unless one of the G8 presidents personally announces the bad news on TV, is alarming. Isotopes! Show me the isotopes. Each detonation will produce a unique set that can not be hidden. If there are new isotopes in the air then a detonation happened. If not then no detonation happened. We should not look at who said what, We should look at evidence that can not be hidden. |

Words, words, and more words. If I asked my dentist she would say bitcoin is a kind of tooth. lol
Wait what? Are you saying bitcoin feels more of a physical asset or that bitcoin is just a pain to even determine where it falls under all of these categories. As for the asset class, I would consider it - if it falls on the same with gold. I guess I just think it's funny how many definitions there are. Some say it's a currency, an asset, a ... It may be all those things? For me it is what it is, it's bitcoin. Or maybe it's "just a pain to even determine", as you point out. |

Couldn't you buy these directly from Microsoft? I know they take bitcoin. |

If you could just "recover" your password then we all could "recover" it. Bitcoin is not facebook, it has real security and you are in charge of that security.
