I hope you understand my english and I would be glad if someone could enlighten me about the bullshit going on in the US Smiley

Wow.  Grin

This is a great post and very thought provoking indeed and your English is perfectly understandable.

Bitcoin would have been fine if the whole red listing fork weren't around the corner. As long as a coin's developers don't roll over to regulation then the only thing that can be regulated is on the merchant side of the equation.

What I think we'll see in the future is a number of different approaches emerging from the altcoin sector. Those that stay true to Satoshi's original ideals and others like the current Bitcoin that submit to oppressive forces.



I think an equilibrium will eventually be reached with a coin(s) that can 1.) be accepted by regulated merchants but 2.) also used by independent freedom fighters who can independently trade unregulated among each other. Much like cash is used today.

Some of this ability appears be vanishing for the new Bitcoin.
2982  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: how to revolt against the bitcoin foundations 'taint' idea's on: November 15, 2013, 01:34:27 PM
with mike hearns plans to add code that will red-list coins.

and other bitcoin foundation plans to change the blockchain to something more U.S government friendly. the solution is simple.

DO NOT upgrade your client to a newer version that contains these ridiculous idea's.

if the majority of us stick with the same version, the bitcoin sticks with us. If a fork occurs, the new versions with those ridiculous idea's will use the fork. simply let them. we/they can call their fork govcoin.. and let the 1% of foundation loving, government loving users play around with their silly fork just like any other alt coin. while we continue using bitcoin as it remains in its current state.

give it a few minutes/hours and the exchanges will see the majority wants bitcoin and not govcoin, thus leaving govcoin to die

This won't work.  Cool

Now that Bitcoin has entered into the mainstream (and w/ Satosi's abandonment of the coin) the establishment will spin the press to such a degree that the majority will update. The best solution would be to find an altcoin that is aligned with your ideals and attitudes regarding independence and freedom.

People can turn their noses up to altcoins all they want, but I know for a 100% fact that there are developers currently working on altcoins that are equally as talented, and some even more so, as Satoshi. There are a lot of bitcoin adopters with their heads in the sands as it relates to altcoins.



It's time for these old timers to take a peak outside the Bitcoin box and get a glimpse of the future.   Cheesy  Grin  Cheesy

The best solution is to keep them in your wallet and
if you want to trade keep on the exchanges only what you must.


I think this ^^^^^^ is a good suggestion.
2984  Other / Off-topic / Re: What if a girl walks up to me claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto? on: November 15, 2013, 03:01:03 AM
And it just so happens she's unable to access her private keys because we're in a internet dead-zone.
How would I know for sure?

Ask her if she's from the future. Then pick something random from these facts to see if she's legit:

Actually, Satoshi is a robot sent from the future to stop the largest currency crisis in the history of mankind, and the nuclear war that followed the political chaos caused by it.

His name comes from joined names of Japanese corporations who created him, Samsung-Toshiba-Nakamichi-Motorola.
in 2075, these corporations formed a single huge megacorporation, in joined effort to perfect time travel technology.

After they successfully conducted first tests of Future-Vision Hyperdimensional Matrix™ in 2075, and got a glimpse 9 years into the future (2085), they saw the earth being destroyed by a nuclear disaster which was result of war caused by terrible worldwide economical crisis. They were devastated by the things they saw, and they completely commited all of their funds to developing time travel technology & building an intelligent robot which they can send into the past. That was necessary because a glitch in the Time Vortex Plasma-Based Bipulsary Manipulator™ caused any organic matter to be damaged when travelling through the vortex.

They created first working prototype of S.A.T.O.S.H.I. in 2083. Fortunately for us, in January 2084 a stable backward-aligned temporal vortex was created and Satoshi was successfully transported to set coordinates in the past.

And here we go, creating a better future for the mankind.

2986  Economy / Speculation / Re: We are now stagnant, which way will we go afterwards? on: November 15, 2013, 02:49:01 AM
Where will we be short term after we see major movements again? Is it up or down?

I think we're going back to $250ish within the next 7 days!  Smiley
2987  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Does this forum store IP addresses? on: November 15, 2013, 02:47:06 AM
of course it does.

Hehe. Yes, I think it's best to assume that all non-encrypted data is available to the site administrators to store/sift/share. Just make sure you never do anything you're not supposed to be doing and you should be okay. LOL
2988  Economy / Speculation / Re: We've Reached the Top (Proof Inside) on: November 15, 2013, 02:44:51 AM
If you're on the fence about investing, I'd recommend you wait it out a few more days to see what happens.

Hey, nice charts! Yes, wait this out for another week and you can get back in for $250.00!  Cheesy  Grin  Cheesy

2990  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: litecoin dead ? on: November 15, 2013, 12:19:09 AM
Number of BTC decimal places can be increased or reduced down to zero if neccessary. If BTC rises to value you mentioned, Bitcoin would
stand for a payment network, a protocol and one of currency units used, worth 100.000 USD. Just like most people today don't have million
of dollars but use cents, the same way they would not have 1 BTC but would use Satoshis or some other currency unit.



I don't think this will be as great a concern moving forward as altcoins begin competing with Bitcoin. Consumers will inevitably find out about and begin using these attractive altcoins in turn taking away from Bitcoin's massive marketshare.
2991  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Newbie starting to mine. on: November 14, 2013, 11:44:15 PM
Hi there,

I'm "into" the whole Bit/altcoin world since a week or so.
Currently mining Skeincoins. @ +/- 16 MH/s @CPU and Litecoins @+/- 100 KH/s. (GPU+CPU). Don't know if it 'll be usefull or not. Time will tell.

Don't know which coin is the beste choice. The maker of Skeincoin doesn't reply at his own topic, so I think that coin will me dead soon, sadly.

What coin is worth my time, electricity and CPU/GPU capicity? I don't know anymore. There is too much choice.
Saw the poll, maybe ZeusCoin? Or should I invest in Ripple? Or, or, or....


Aargh, why is this so difficult? Why are there so many coins?  Huh

Just a newb...

Gunther


Research the top 20 altcoins from this website: http://coinmarketcap.com/




Then find a couple that you think will rise in the chart. Then support the coin and mine and hold.  Cheesy  Grin  Cheesy

Welcome to the world of digital currency.



Use caution as you tread the white water rapids of Crypto! And "may all your bitcoin dreams turn to gold!"  Cheesy  Grin  Cheesy
2993  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Should I buy bitcoin or litecoin? Or both? on: November 14, 2013, 11:32:53 PM
Neither. I suggest looking into some of the upcoming altcoins if you want exponential returns.
2994  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: BTC crash poll on: November 14, 2013, 11:31:13 PM
The crash is coming within 7 days and we'll go well under $300 then settle around $250.  Cool
2995  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Please recommend a large pool on: November 14, 2013, 11:29:47 PM
If you want to make a profit I suggest looking at other coins to mine.  Cool
2996  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What do you think bitcoin will be worth in the future? on: November 14, 2013, 11:25:04 PM
In my viewpoint, Bitcoin is probably overbought at this point. I don't see it reaching 100K in my lifetime.
2997  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: When Will Bitcoin Reach $1000?? on: November 14, 2013, 03:25:25 AM
Bitcoin is often compared to gold, so I wouldn't be surprised if the price levels off at the price of an ounce of gold.



I think Bitcoin is probably getting ready to take a dip backwards as Goldcoin continues to climb the charts!  Grin
2998  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Time to Boycott all US Companies on: November 14, 2013, 01:27:50 AM
each miner should be required to send their coin to a mixer prior to selling on an exchange, so all coins are tainted.

Yes, lets force people to do things!

Lol. Yes. I vote that we start forcing people to submit.
2999  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi Nakamoto should offer a million bitcoin reward on: November 13, 2013, 10:59:09 PM
No he wouldn't do that, because it will risk Bitcoin's progress.

I think quality altcoins are supportive of Bitcoin and decentralized currencies in general. We don't need a Bitcoin monopoly.  Smiley
