I wont prepare, I mean thinking like this doesn't make any sense.
Living in constant fear and preoccupations if something bad is gonna happen doesn't make much of a life.
A car could run over you just tomorrow, so whats the point?
The forecast calls for high winds and unprecedented snowfall. It is relatively calm, with just a few flakes falling. Do you a) ignore all warnings, and start a 5 day hike in shorts and a T shirt, carrying nothing because nothing bad could ever happen(or you are going to be hit by a car anyway) b) Dress warmly, and carry shelter & supplies c) Stay home with a cozy fire and some supplies a) seems singularly foolish to me. Why do anything for future comfort or gain if you expect to be hit by a car tomorrow. This doesn't mean go live in a bunker with your dog for the next 10 years, but some forethought and planning for possible scenarios is a sound practice. Being prepared doesn't mean living in fear. Most who prepare for setbacks do so for peace of mind because they DO NOT expect to be run over by a car tomorrow. |

I has a boat. Or, I will sometime between bitcoin becoming more valuable than it is and everything imploding.
The idea goes like this: Put up a windmill, maybe several, to power the fridge/water filters/nav/etc. With the ability to convert sea water to drinking water, and everything powered by the wind (either sails or electric engines, or both), all I'd need to do is fill up on food once a month or whatever and live out to sea during troubled times.
Keeping in mind that weather is getting increasingly unpredictable and volatile as solar activity wanes. Hope its a big boat. The other thing, having had some interaction with marine industries - maintenance. Ocean going boats require lots of it. |

If you think FDIC is going to pay out anything in any major event you are dreaming. An isolated hack event, or branch issue, maybe. but they are leveraged to the moon, maybe to the sun and back. any systemic jolt means you have what you hold. The 0.3% (if memory serves) reserve funds only spread so far, and YOU dont qualify. But the fiction keeps the sheeple happy while they twitter and eat cheeseburgers while sharing their most recent bowel movement on assbook.
Secure some BTC in a cold wallet. secure some metals (gold, silver, lead) where YOU have control of it. price up or price down, none of it is likely to go to zero EXCEPT the banking system. One or some of those savings are going to be worth a lot more in the next few years.

lol this was in 2011
where is the OP now?
Did the OP invest or run away?
I wouldn't wanna be you if you didn't invest and now it is so close to $500 when you were basically in at the cheapest prices...

Also Friedcat immersed in oil (Imagines that image being consistent with frying ha-ha)
That would be more like CoolCat |

It may be <$1 now, but it is going to be $1000000 someday !!!! By that reasoning, we should never use any btc or tip anyone ever. EVER. |

Any updates? Don't have shares transferred, or divs yet :/
Share transfer could take a week, but that doesn't matter much. It's up to friedcat, and I heard he does them all just before dividends each week. I suspect he was broadsided by the avalanche of transfers this week, and this batch didn't get done. Dividends, however I think should be the priority. I paid up in a timely fashion, I expect the same respect, even for this small sum. 10 minutes should suffice to send 7 transfers. |

|
Just hope the transfer happens in time for burnside to transfer the shares!
Pretty please. Its a damn cluster f*** to start calculating those divs and start sending them by hand. manual divs it is. heh so be it. |

quote not supposed to extend that far  Yea, hopefully sooner, thanks for the reply. Price is running wild, almost scared of what might hapen shortly after a good dividend. he's usually fast. he probably just got up and is enjoying his morning dim sum and rolling around in yuan Just got confirmation on a transfer from near a week ago, so I bet there's a few to wade through before getting to this batch. I imagine we're still on track for before the rejoicing hour. |

Is there a way to confirm the transfer without hassling friedcat? other than watching for the nectar to appear in my glass tomorrow? Will it be posted here?
thanks

Lol. So close  I would have bought more if Coinbase or CampBX/Dwolla transferred funds faster. As it is, I have to wait till almost the end of the 24h period to get the last bit of funds for this purchase. bastid  I waited until I had cleared funds for it |
