Coinbase and Circle are not really "insured". If your account gets hacked, they don't give you a penny:

Check my thread about it and the comments inside:

I never assumed it was other way than that...
3162  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How can Bitcoin fail? on: February 23, 2015, 09:14:02 PM
I think the only way Bitcoin fails is if development just outright stops and people stop using it

Well the last part is pretty obvious but I think we have to look at the reasons why people would stop using it. Will something better come along? Will the price crashing to next to zero cause people to flee? Will an error or bug be found? Will governments ban or heavily regulate it to the point of breaking? Personally the biggest threat to bitcoin is a better successor arriving in my opinion. That could cause it to collapse very quickly imo.
The government part is not very logical. It is very hard or probably impossible for governments to regulate it tightly. They may be able to regulate exchanges but real life exchanges will still take place. Banning bitcoin completely is not possible unless the whole internet is shut down.
The only way for Bitcoin to fail is for everyone to delete their copy of blockchain or simply don't relay it to other nodes. This can only destroy Bitcoin if every single node dies. If there is 100 nodes with up to date blockchain, Bitcoin will not die.

Mass adoption will only occur if there are plenty of tools and exchanges, if a governments ban bitcoin or even make impossible for exchanges to do business it would be enough to jeopardize bitcoin's future, price will collapse and with it the ecosystem.

The network might still be up, and a few trades between trusted parties, but nothing like mass adoption will occur.

i gamble

No one can win long term is a hobby not something you should be trying to make money on.
You are wrong, poker betting many people live on this.

Poker is a game of skill, it's not gambling.

Could you please allow users to give an address for shares to be associated with in case a site shutdown happens. This would allow the issuers to handle things on their end if havelock goes down.

Issuers receive the complete list of of shareholders every 12 hours, or so.

3174  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: This is your last chance to jump on the Doge train before it explodes on: February 22, 2015, 07:50:20 PM
I don't if there's a correlation between price and halving, nevertheless I bought a few doge lately.

Almost every other price halving in doge has resorted in the price going down, not up. This is because of Dogecoin's endless inflation(Doge has no upper limit on the # of coins). So, it's practically impossible for dogecoin to sustain a decent price longterm as there is no scarcity and never will be.

Is this the last halving?

So they basically piggy-backed on Bitcoin, great. Use and discard seems to be today's motto.

Now they're piggy-backing on Ripple.

The wonders of modern science...
Actually, I would say it is a misuse of the achievements of modern science.

I agree, the child might grow up without a mother and without a grandmother, this pregnancy is too risky, she could use a surrogate.
