You shall learn that there trading bots everywhere, buying and selling oil, metals or currencies. Unfortunately, there is just no way to ban them. Often, you can't even tell they're bots.
3162  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: For bitcoin to stabilize and be accepted, anominity needs to die on: September 08, 2013, 05:01:34 PM
Stability? What's that? Nothing in this world is stable.
World-wide acceptance? Nothing in this world is like that. The U.S. dollar is quite popular, but in Switzerland, North Korea and some other countries, it is not.

I want BTC to remain quite anonymous as it is, and I don't see stability nor world-wide acceptance as goals.
3163  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Earn Bitcoin With Web Traffic on: September 04, 2013, 11:34:00 PM
I once had a directory on my website, but I can't remember when I removed it. Maybe in 2008?
Sorry, but BTC needs new ideas.
3164  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Did anyone notice that $1 million (7500BTC) transaction today?? on: September 01, 2013, 06:04:15 PM
This is a private transaction. Similar sums are being exchanged million of times each time with fiat. There has been large transactions before, and there will be more in the future. It's the best and the worst of BTC that people can report and comment it.
3165  Economy / Speculation / Re: Obama says the US will attack Syria, Bitcoin value rises to new heights on: September 01, 2013, 05:59:29 PM
There isn't the slightest piece of evidence of any relation between BTC and what's going on in Syria.
Has there been a rise of BTC software downloads from Syria?
Most BTC investors are very far from Syria, and they may care about what's going on there, but I fail to understand how this could make them invest more, or bring more people investing.
3166  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoins are more like domain names than any other asset on: September 01, 2013, 05:50:35 PM
BTC and domain names are totally different. All bitcoins are equal, but all domain names are not. sex.com is worth more than mydirtydog.com. Then everybody can use BTC whereas my parents would not know what to do with a domain name. Also owning a domain is not anonymous, there has to be one registered legal owner.
3167  Economy / Economics / Re: War in Syria, disorder in middle-east, and oil price will affect BTC price? on: August 30, 2013, 11:48:53 PM
i ask this because it seems that when there is economical/political instability, BTC price goes up...

There's no data to prove this. BTC went up when Cyprus announced it will seize money from bank accounts, but that was very specific, and most unusual. There are lots of economic instability in India and several European countries right now, but I don't see any relation with the price of BTC. Do you?

Another war in the Middle East would make oil reach new heights, no doubt about that, but a relation with BTC is not proven.

I'll keep my comments secret.
3169  Economy / Economics / Re: will a Euro crash benefit us on: August 29, 2013, 10:29:25 PM
Don't dream of it. If the Euro crashes, that would bring down the world economy, causing job losses everywhere in the world. BTC would go down.
3170  Economy / Economics / Re: mtgox is only able to do 10 international wire transfers a day on: August 26, 2013, 03:59:56 PM
That's hard to believe. Limits on amount are normal, but why a limit on the number of transfers? Unless SEPA transfers within the Euro zone, banks charge a fee for each international transfer, so the more transfers you make, the more money they get.
3171  Economy / Economics / Re: How to actually start an anarchy? on: August 25, 2013, 10:17:44 PM
Anarchy starts with anarchists. Stop paying taxes, burn your social security card, dump your TV, and take your money out of the banks. If most people were to do that, we would get something close to anarchy.
3172  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Adopting Countrys' Ultimate Guide to Taxation on: August 20, 2013, 11:54:47 PM
Property tax is the answer. Many thinkers have already argued it should be the only one, and for some of us it is. I have two solar panels already, and as their price is going down, like electric cars, I believe energies will be more and more difficult to tax.
3173  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Google Chrome is gonna fix all your libertarian extremism on: August 20, 2013, 11:51:07 PM
Next is an email asking you not to be so naughty if you watch a lot of porn. I've never installed google chrome, and I won't ever. I like stupid computers and software so I can think by myself.
3174  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: High Risk Merchant Accounts on: August 20, 2013, 11:46:15 PM
Do you think this will help BTC?

BTC already has a problem because some people see it as the money for drug-lords and terrorists, it will not make it better to associate it with porn businesses and gamblers. There's definitely an opportunity with high risk merchants but our goal should be to pay with BTC at Amazon or Ebay.
3175  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: History of United States Anti-Money Laundering Laws on: August 19, 2013, 10:36:29 PM
Everyone has an opinion, that's nice and we may also have different definitions of dirty money.
Drug money is generally seen as dirty money, but 100 years ago, cannabis and cocaine were perfectly legal, and sold freely in shops. No dirty money there.

In many places, gambling is illegal, and people from those places see Las Vegas as a shameful ring of dirty money factories.

Don't get me wrong, there's real dirty money coming from bank robberies and extortion, but there's also a lot of dirty money coming straight from the government.
3176  Other / Politics & Society / Re: We are living in the 2nd coming of the 60s on: August 18, 2013, 06:33:34 PM
Really?

Gas was cheap, and houses were too. Land was even cheaper and you didn't need the building permit that is required now. Managing a business was also much easier, it was easy to find a job, leaving it and finding another one, and there were fewer lawyers. Somehow, life was easier, as there was less government's intervention or regulation, then nobody worried about the future. I watch old movies and I see people living differently from what I see today.
3177  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [ANN] Cointube.net Bitcoin Video News Site - Submit a video and win 0.1 BTC! on: August 18, 2013, 06:17:55 PM
Congratulations, it's a nice idea. I had no idea there were so many vids about BTC, but I wonder if you'll be able to find new videos every single day.
3178  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: History of United States Anti-Money Laundering Laws on: August 18, 2013, 05:55:17 PM
Great work! Thanks for the info, and thanks for taking the time to put it here.

But I think you shall consider changing the title. It should be more like: "How the ugly government gained legal right to scrutinize and control all private transactions in the country".
3179  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: SMS To Mobile Phone For Send Transaction Code on: August 16, 2013, 05:44:33 PM
Some exchanges already offer this, if you keep your BTC at the exchange.

I know BTC is safe, but it will more and more difficult to offer exchange services in the U.S.
