"Singapore pretends to be pro bitcon"

Its bitcoin

Bitcoin is not a con, its a normal currency, this post make it look like they are into some sort of scam when they arent.

Paypal in 2050 will probably be a bitcoin wallet like Coinbase.

I doubt fiat will exist by then, and ebay will have to stat competitive because NXT marketplace or openbazaar are direct competitors.

I don't doubt their honesty but they take too long to answer to people with deposit issues

They seem to have forgotten about this thread and to check their support e-mail  Sad

They should hire some PR team, or some representative, because their development team is probably small.
3445  Economy / Economics / Re: Economic Devastation on: November 03, 2015, 12:54:13 AM

I don't care if Banks embrace BTC, actually that's what I want! The thing is, once they do, there's no more QE or -to put it simple- money inflation anymore. Gresham's law will do the rest. This is the first and most important thing BTC incorporates IMHO.

Ok so the banks are not prohibited to use BTC by their regulators or central banks.

But there are already some banks that would like to use BTC, but their regulators dont let them.


So you think that bank's CEO or other directors will just sit there and scratch their heads? They will buy BTC with their own money. (acumulate)

And then try to lobby the regulators to greenlight BTC, so that they can use the bank's funds to buy BTC and pump price higher.


So they first buy-up with their money, then pump it up with the banks money, and then make profit Cheesy

I would not be surprized if this would happen.

Just wondering, whi is moneypot under investment wallet?  Shouldn't it just be basic casino investments?

Yea i added it twice, my mistake.



It does lesson the risk of losing a lot but I see problems.  A lot of scams start out paying out... so that first payment the small one you might ROI on.  Then some will expand and it craps out from being a scam.   A lot sadly have done this where first in got money and last in got taken for a ride.

And loans I just don't like as getting  money from a default seems pretty hard.  Even BTCJam you would think would have a unit or something to help with it... but they just release the persons info to you and expect you to take whatever legal route there is.  If a website actually took a role in helping get defaulted money back they could easily take over as best site to loans at.

Well I just checked satoshidice:

3613.54081797 BTC liquid cash = 1.3 MILLION $

They can run away with it any second now, yet they havent in the past 3 years (and back in 2013 that was worth much more).

So I think that is just paranoia, I think Satoshidice is very safe, and trustworthy.


As for the other sites? I have no clue, I havent used them, but I tried satoshidice once.

Not to worry!

The US Gov is hodling the bitcoin confiscated from Dread Pirate Roberts so a few more months of price appreciation and the debt should be easy to payoff, debt snowball style!

They already auctioned that, but who knows maybe they will introduce tax payments with bitcoin.

Then they will HODL that, and as the US debt grows, so does the bitcoin price, they will use that as a hedging mechanism to cancel the debt Cheesy

See the coindesk price now, it's linear line lol.
There is also a poll there and i am excited to see the result
http://www.coindesk.com/poll-what-will-bitcoins-price-be-at-the-end-of-2015-2/
I think bitcoin is becoming stronger than the last year Smiley

Yep i think its because the chinese capital controls.

But it can be a mixture of the VAT ruling, the Winklevoss exchange, and other blockchain startup publicity.
3449  Other / Off-topic / Re: What's your least favorite thing about Bitcoin? on: November 02, 2015, 09:08:03 PM
It's roller coaster price and also it's irreversible feature...

The irreversinle feature is the core principle. If transactions were reversible, then scammers would come like a locust invasion.

Imagine you earn 0.05 BTC,and then next day they charge it back.

The amount of scams would be x1000 more, it is an issue even now, but then it would be far worse.
3450  Economy / Economics / Re: America's new debt ceiling - $19,600,000,000,000 on: November 02, 2015, 09:05:31 PM
Alas.. America will 1000% start WW3 if their ecom starts to falter.. they are already setting up for it in the south sea.
Nothing gets the ecom going like taking out an extra 100 TRILLION on the backs of the next 100 generations to fuel your wars that are really just a solid reason to take out 100 Trillion..

Well a war doesnt really boost an economy, especially if you lose it.

A war is only profitable if you loot the enemy country and then after peace negitiations you demand war reparations.

To my knowledge a war of aggression is illegal under international law, so they cannot demand any reparations, unless they conquer the entire planet, which is very unlikely.


A civil war or mass unrest is far more likely than a WW3. But thats just my opinion.
3451  Economy / Economics / Re: What you will do if bitcoin price drops to 50$ and you have lots of bitcoin on: November 02, 2015, 08:15:15 PM
Its almost 500$ now, i find it very hard to imagine it will go to 50$.

Bitcoin is heading to the moon Cheesy
3452  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Litecoin v. Bitcoin on: November 02, 2015, 08:07:44 PM
Bitcoin now takes hours to transact, even with 0.0001 fee which is annoying.

I guess the price rise made a big impact on the network. Litecoin has +1 here.

Otherwise I`m a bitcoin fan obviously.
3453  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Ethereum about to pull a Cloak? on: November 02, 2015, 08:06:22 PM
Train is leaving the station again...

It will derail soon Cheesy

Eth is very hyped now but with little content and features to show. Such hype bubbles burst very quickly.

Faster than LTC?

 Cheesy

Remember you heard it here first.

So you are saying that LTC with 4 year track record, big community, and merchants start integrating it (although its is obviously slowed than BTC nobody doubts that) is a scam?

VS

ETH that so far is only shill talk, hype, and a console wallet that is hard to use for the 99% of the crypto community.


Interesting...

Many people worry on their privacy from wife or parent. With ATM card in your bank statement you will get transection detail associated with porn site. But with bitcoin you will receive no transactions statements. That is the advantage bitcoin has brought to us.

Or if they cheat their wives.

It is immoral to cheat your wife but its not illegal. So if a person wants to cheat his wife he has the privacy to do so.

I`m not endorsing wife cheating, but some people will do that anyway.
3455  Economy / Economics / Re: How too get rich on: November 02, 2015, 07:32:33 PM

Yes this make sense now, low self stem didn't make sense on that context. It is always generally a bad idea to flaunt wealth. Look at the Forbes magazine. You will not see none of the top guys flaunting wealth, they are low profile guys. Meanwhile you have guys like Mayweather or Dan Bilzerian out there flaunting their wealth all day and they are a lot of millions away from becoming Forbes billionaires.

Obviously, and not just bad in the moral sense, but bad in the sense of physical security.

If you brag with your wealth, you will find many enemies, thieves, burglars, kidnappers, extortionists that will put eye on you.

Keeping a low profile is good even if you are a billionaire, there are many dangers out there in the world.

3300 BTC invested in this site.

Holy crap this is a huge gambling site. And it has a perfect track record. Glad that we find honest gambling services in bitcoin Smiley

You have my admiration SatoshiDice!  Grin
3457  Economy / Economics / Re: Economic Devastation on: November 02, 2015, 07:19:51 PM

Of course,  if it hits a million dollars it would be devastating for the banks.

So you think the banks will just stay and watch until bitcoin takes off.

Man these banks will be the ones pumping bitcoin. Once they realize how good it is, they will put billions of $ in it, and make a fortune with it later on.


They will not stay and wait until grandmothers will put money in bitcoin, or the other sheeple, banks are opportunists, they will probably invest in the next 2-3 years in bitcoin.

I actually expect the next bitcoin pump to be driven by the banks.

Each one would work different.  There is not one way they all work.  There are some I would avoid.

First lending as it is really hard to get the money back if they default, I suggest staying clear of it.   Second one that just jumped out to me was 
Casino Investment.   I would also avoid casinos in general as a investment.  Just not enough regulation.

I'm sure there are more that are ones I don't agree with, but everyone has different factors they want.  I would make sure before any of them to do your own research.  I strongly push for new people to do research before investing.

Good opinions, but every investment can be safe if you risk little amounts.

I would certainly not put all my savings in a mining contract or similar.

Not to be blunt but when will Monero have an official GUI wallet ?

Official, because the other wallets I dont trust that much. Can anybody tell this? Or atleast a time range 1-2 months?
