I am pretty sure everyone thought the coins would sell for significantly less than market price last time too but we all know that didn't happen.



Why would anyone have thought that?

Because they're smarter than a fruit fly?

...despite not having a computer themselves at this time, they figure out technology quickly, and share how to operate the computer with others.

OMG Davy05 they sound almost like regular uneducated people, ripe for buying Bitcoin.
Better hurry up and sell them some, before a Nigerian Prince beats us to them!

From what I recall she was out on a help/charity mission there. As for the idea you're talking about; I find it splendid. Actually, what's missing is the way to explain to average people, how they'll be able to use bitcoin in those countries. If you (or anyone) have any good ideas that you could use to explain to them what bitcoin is and how they would set up a wallet, that would be awesome. Please avoid word like "random matrix" or "cryptography" they will turn around and run... Cheesy

If they don't have a computer at home, they can use the Internet cafe to set up their wallet with blockchain. Just let them know that they need 2FA, and they should use an email account separate from their regular account. And use a password that's complex, with number, symbols, and letters, that isn't in the dictionary. They can use their dumb phone for the 2FA.

Also, they should run an antivirus scan on the Internet cafe computer with at least three or four different vendors to ensure it's safe before each usage. There could be a keylogger or a browser session hijacker. Also don't allow .dat file backups to the e-mail address, just in case. As long as they follow this, they'll be good to go. It's really not that difficult, and much easier than using a bank or storing your savings in a coffee can.

Mah nigga!

You guys ever thought about writing some Christmassy Bitcoin jingles to promote your coin of choice?
Something like...

On the first day of Christmas my true love sold to me
One valuable bitcoin!
On the etc., etc.

Try it!
Musical fun for the whole Bitcoin family, and no one will notice that Dad has lost all of the family do re mi & there's nothing but



under the plastic tree!

Ughh... wut?

Let's have a little talk about tweetle beetles....

What do you know about tweetle beetles?  Well...

When tweetle beetles fight,
it's called a tweetle beetle battle.

And when they battle in a puddle,
it's a tweetle beetle puddle battle.

AND when tweetle beetles battle with paddles in a puddle,
they call it a tweetle beetle puddle paddle battle.

You're doing great!  Not too Christmassy, but sing with enough gusto, slur a bit & no one will ever notice,  All you need now is a catchy tune!

Not thinking, desperately trying to convince themselves.  Big difference.

That is if there is no Draper 2.0 willing to pay "more than everyone else" for the whole lot.

Can't be completely ruled out.  Your Bitcoin Savior could also have fluffy fur, long ears, and carry a basket of Easter eggs.
I wouldn't bet on it, but don't let that discourage you Smiley

Ty Corp profits no more from lost BTCeanie BTCabies than Satoshi profits from lost Bitcoins.
LOL  

Ty certainly profits if the lost doll is replaced with a new one. Whether or not it's as much as Satoshi profits from lost bitcoins is debatable.

As Satoshi is generally seen as the holder of the most bitcoins and the lost coins increase the worth of everyone else's coins, it only follows that Satoshi should profit the most from lost coins.

Logic isn't your strong suit, is it?

Grampa #1, there are so many things you no longer understand.  I'll refresh your memory.  Write this down on a scrap of paper or something.
Like Bitcoin, BTCeanie BTCabies use artificial scarcity as a marketing gimmick.  Like Bitcoin, BTCeanie BTCabies are irreplaceable.

Of course, you can buy other, different BTCeanie BTCabies, just like you can buy other, different digital currencies (see: altcoin section), but you can't replace a BTCeanie.  No sir.

Bitcoin has been tanking for a year, so hard to say what you could possibly be trying to say here.
Continue holding the bag, greater fools are essential to this market.  It would have been far more difficult for me to make money if not for finance enthusiasts such as yourself losing it.

Care to prove you have in fact made a dime over the last year? You are on record for saying that you can neither make head nor tail of the market movements now the 'bigger boys' have turned up. Doesn't stop you posting negative tripe 24/7 though!

No, I don't care to prove anything to you.  I'm on record as saying that since around a year ago, I have neither made nor lost significant sums, and have traded only pocket lint--AKA gambled, for entertainment. 
Now stop being a pest.

Lost BTCeanie BTCabies only make everyone else’s BTCeanie BTCabies worth slightly more. Think of it as a donation to everyone Ty Corp.

ftfy

Lol, there's another thing you don't quite grasp, grampa #2.  Ty Corp profits no more from lost BTCeanie BTCabies than Satoshi profits from lost Bitcoins.
It's ok tho, I understand that senility exacerbated by erectile dysfunction pill addiction is a legitimate disease, and nothing to poke fun at.

There were people pessimistic about BTCeanie BTCbabies as an investment, and the price just kept on climbing.
Those incredulous fools became the butt of BTCeanie partisans' jokes when BTCeanie prices reached ATH.
And here we are, gentlemen.  Take from this what you will Undecided


There was people comparing Bitcoin to tulips back in 2012 too.

Let's hope they're not going to rub it in your face once they're proven right Undecided

"once they're"?

They've been consistently proven wrong so far, I'm perfectly content to watch them try to make incongruous parallels and continue to be wrong.

that the paper fiat usd 'in god we trust' the federal reserve to print money has been a failure..
that we cannot trust an invisible god with our currency ..
that science trumps 'trusting in god' to print our money.

This failure is working just fine, thanks.  Used everywhere on the face of the Earth.
"In God we trust" is just a truncation of "In God we trust, everyone else pays cash."
So nao U know.

BTCeanie BTCabies are a store of value, not a means of exchange.  Currently the majority of BTCeanie BTCabies transactions, as is the case with the majority of Bitcoin transactions, are accomplished by converting BTCeanie BTCabies to fiat.

BTCeanie BTCabies do not qualify as store of value because they lack the following qualities:

You clearly don't understand what "store of value" is.  Suffice it to say it's not a binary value.  If you would like to learn more, start here:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Store_of_value

Durability, not longevity.

Beanie babies can wear down and decay with time. Not a very good store of value...

Longevity is a defining quality of durability.

Quote
du·ra·bil·i·ty
ˌd(y)o͝orəˈbilədē/
noun
the ability to withstand wear, pressure, or damage.
"the reliability and durability of plastics"


Very smartitude.  Such brainiosity.  Wow.

Are BTCeanie BTCabies, like Bitcoin :

Dust resistant
Fire resistant
Rot-proof
Rustproof
Thermal resistant
Impact resistant
Waterproof
