Too many shades of brown for my taste. And before anyone calls it a racist comment, it's just a fact-based observation.
Side note, maybe a vampire killed them? Couldn't take the smell and came guns blazing.

Reminds me of Macron, but this time it was the other way round.


Don't know what you're on but I want some (purely for research... and parties).
There used to be a guy here just like you https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=21728
You'd make a great team.

I had the same thing with AMD graphics. They looked like a great value for the money but then came problems with compatibility my friends with nvidia did not have. You had to spend some more time setting up the graphics in different games and some offered special features for nvidia users like physx. Intel seems overpriced but from what I've experienced you pay more for additional quality.

That said, I had only 1 processor in 20 years die on me and it was an intel.

Historically, as far as I remember, the price used to increase before the halving. It acts like a living being when it expects something to happen. It holds breath and stares at it ready to act, but when it happens and the effects aren't severe, it breathes a sigh of relief. That's why there's a big FOMO in anticipation of every halving (like the last time when BCH split) and a relief dump soon after.

I haven't used bittrex for a while now since they started asking for KYC, but this is completely crazy. If I were you, I'd ask them to unlock my bitcoins and cancel all my trades, with bitcoins sent back to your wallet or back to where they came from if that's acceptable. I would never get into such a ridiculous back and forth discussion with them.
Basically what they are doing is asking you to prove how you were able to obtain the coins that you are trying to sell, which is unacceptable to a holder like me, who has no proof of purchase and no incentive to give them my bank statements or business records, especially since my coins were never bought through a bank but earned or bought with cash. Just find yourself another exchange and request for your bittrex account to be closed and funds returned. You have made a mistake of depositing your coins with bittrex and you should correct it ASAP. If they are afraid of money laundering, they can either deny you services (but can't hold your coins because that's theft), or report you to the authorities for verification.

If they keep playing cat and mouse with you and holding your coins, get a lawyer.

It's more like rambling of a lunatic than being dramatic. Every valuable thing can become the target of envy and lead to deaths. Would you blame the jeweler for the death of someone wearing his jewels? Every creator would love to see his creations valued by people and if this leads to them fighting for it it's their fault, not the creator's and not the creation's.
The police thinks it was a suicide but there's very little detail shared with the public. They are most likely keeping it all a secret to have an edge when it's time to interrogate someone. Suspect tend to say too much if you manage to keep them talking long enough. Suicide or not it's a shame that they can't access the coins and people got scammed again. This is very similar to Quadriga: money is gone, owner dies.

What are you talking about? People could survive without USD but they had some other forms of money like gold, silver and copper coins. Probably the most well known were Talents, like the Homeric Talent known in ancient Greece. Sure, human beings could live without money... in the stone age. Do you want to go back to that?

What a crazy idea with that system. You're basically making yourself helpless in case of danger even though you are carrying. Possible outcomes?
-the system fails to hear the gunshot because it's too far away or the weapon is in a cabinet that dampens the sound
-somebody sees you carrying and targets you first while you are waiting for the system to register and unlock the gun
-you are in a standoff with another shooter but can't fire first so he fires and hits the head...

Yes, that's exactly what i'm assuming. I strongly believe that most governments in the world are incompetent and corrupt and only concentrate on staying in power at all cost. If you're getting something from them it's supposed to buy your vote, that's all.


Do you really believe that we elect officials? On the other hand it should not amaze anymore since they were werking for decades to make us think democracy is a viable, working system.


And let's also not pretend that what is legal or illegal in the eyes of the lawmakers is also right or wrong in the common sense.

My best advice to everyone and the one that I will always remember is to always learn before you do. It works in every part of life. You hear about investments from friends and you hear about bitcoin millionaires and your reaction is to set  up a trading account wire money and pray for the best to happen. Most people do it and most people get eaten by a bigger and smarter fish. Make sure you know what you're doing before you do it!

This is off-topic in this thread, but you know what the most common line of defence is such cases is: I swear your honor, she said she was 18!
I wouldn't be too harsh on poor prince cuz she was hot

As for the mother, mine died not long ago and was cremated, but I can't say for sure if I wouldn't allow them to take organs if they wanted to. I wouldn't agree to some ballistic tests because that's crazy, but I'm sure she would be happy if her body could save some lives.

I don't care really. Why are you trying to put pressure on the rich to do stuff for the poor. This is not socialism, they have the right to do what they want with their money!
I sure do envy them and I would never spend money on some of the things they do, but I don't feel like I'm in the position to tell them what to do. You're commenting on the effect, not the cause, which is the society that buys their products and makes them rich. The government that due to corruption and the overall ignorance allowed these people to manipulate the markets and get richer by earning interest from their own ever growing wealth.

It wasn't his fault. People are donating their organs all the time. He probably thought research on his mother's body will help cure what she died of.
IMO both sides can be explained here. He gave them the rights to perform research on the body, they thought that since the body was bought they have the right to do whatever they like, even blow it up.
If somebody is at fault it's the research center for desecrating the body. Doing research is one thing, but blowing it into pieces so that there's nothing left to bury is another.

Exactly, they get deals. Their military in Iraq was used to secure the forming of a new puppet state,making sure the oil flows and the US workers who came to rebuild the country weren't getting slaughtered too much. Their base in Poland is supposed to negotiate trade deals for their old junk, like F16 fighters. There was supposed to be an anti-missile station located there under Bush administration, but there came Obama and he didn't want to tease Putin so no missile shield.

Illegal things don't hurt the economy! You have to realize that usually it's the law that does it.
Unbound economy controls itself. It doesn't need laws from the outside as these laws usually hinder its ability to keep itself in balance. To give you an example, when there's not enough apples on the market the price grows and people start thinking of ways to get more apples. They buy land, import from other countries, hire workers to tend their orchards because with the higher prices they can afford it. If you put laws that forbid people to import or you tax them more on their product you throw everything off balance. They get discouraged from investing in apples and suddenly there is no way to satisfy the demand.

When you make something illegal you only increase its value and it's never the fault of a currency that it's used to buy illegal goods.

Jamie was FUDding a lot and on purpose. You could see it when he tweeted about it for the first time and the market reacted with a dump. A born businessman that he is saw an opportunity in this and put double effort into tweeting but every time he did the market reaction was weaker and weaker, so he milked the cow while it lasted and stopped when it became no longer worth his time and reputation.

Do you know why he then switched from being so negative into positive? It's simple, he made money. He saw gains, could change these gains into real life objects, and we tend to like things that bring us fun, and pleasure. Maybe he bought a new car with his bitcoin money, maybe remodelled the house, we probably won't ever know, but this is now a reminder that this bitcoin he hated at first gave him this. This is like a rule of thumb that people who get burned on the market hate it and those who make money praise it. Guys like Warren Buffett missed the train and resented this market, but others like Jamie Dimon or Mark Cuban invested despite their negativity towards bitcoin. You should never be close minded like WB.

The best advice I was given is to do your own research and never rely on anyone to do anything for you.
The second best IMO is to only wet your feet in the beginning. Never jump into deep water all at once.
The third one is to always have a backup plan and think what you'll do if it all turns to shit. People tend to think what they will do with all the money but you should always have a backup plan and something to do when you lose what you've invested.

Great, you have an idea, but how do you propose we should approach this? For now you're like that guy who sees a homeless beggar and says: dude, you should do something with your life. Stop living like this, find a job, earn some money, rent a room, take a bath...
How am I supposed to stop using fiat? We are all slaves of the system. Stop paying bills and will own your ass, kick you out, make you beg for scraps and eventually go back to being a slave. In this world people who are independent live in wooden houses in the middle of nowhere (if they're lucky) or in cardboard boxes.

I would since I have a lot of saved up coins and being able to spend freely would definitely move the price up by a LOT, which would be another incentive to spend. I had Bitcoins when they were worth less than 1/4 of their current price and I really could use some premium treatment. At the moment I'm spending just a little on Amazon but that's it. I'd prefer be able to go to a car dealership or eat at a restaurant and not worry about exchange rates and fees. When that happens I'll start spending for real, but until then it's HODL time

That's very improbable. All nations are aware of what a nuclear war would do to the world. You must know that people have some basic needs and one of them is the need for serenity and comfort. Even power hungry nations are not that power hungry to condemn themselves to life in underground fallout bunkers. Nuke will always be the last resort and I don't believe that a conventional strike at a carrier (even if that were to happen) would result in nuclear genocide.
