3501  Economy / Economics / Re: Money is an imaginary concept, but humanity is enslaved by it on: April 07, 2015, 05:44:29 PM
Fiatmoney is the biggest scamcurrency ever. "Somebody" said: "Give me control of a nation's money
and I care not who makes the laws."


OP you re right. We are enslaved by it. Our economy, society and politic is designed to make the avg. joe always to strive for more and more (money)... for a handfull of people money is just a means to an end.. just digital(virtual) numbers.. Something non-existent in "reality"... But its too late now to change it... We can have interesting discussions and brainwaves, and the so called "aha-effect".. many of us might check whats happening behind the curtains.. But we won't ever be able to change anything... They control to much now. FED, EZB, the house of sauds, and the other mighty six.... They knew how to make it... sad truth. They placed the foundation stone to the world we are living in today... we are all just small gear wheels in a complex system. And they ARE the system......


Indeed, the problem is it's an accepted scam.
Bitcoin is far superior to our lovely fiat system, and here's why:

3502  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Pilotless Passenger Planes Might Soon Become A Reality. on: April 07, 2015, 04:53:59 PM
source: http://money.cnn.com/2015/03/27/news/companies/pilotless-passenger-planes/index.html

Would you be willing to fly on a plane with no pilot?


The technology exists, even if no airline is currently thinking about trying it.

The tragic Germanwings crash in the Alps this week -- which allegedly was caused deliberately by the copilot -- raises the question: Would it make sense to fly planes without pilots?

Some experts say the answer is yes.

"Planes can already fly themselves," said Mary "Missy" Cummings, a former Air Force pilot, an engineering professor and director of the Humans and Autonomy Lab at Duke University.

"Pilots only spend 3 minutes per flight flying a plane anyway, and they don't really need to do that," she said. About 80% of plane crashes are caused by human error, she adds.

The U.S. military already flies Global Hawk drones, which are nearly the size of a the widely-used Boeing 737 passenger jets. And military data shows that drone flights crash less often than piloted flights, Cummings said.

But so far businesses working on drones are looking only at non-passenger uses, like making deliveries or taking aerial pictures.



your thoughts? will air travel truly be safer without a pilot?

Google already got fully functional pilotless cars... technology shouldn't never make mistakes, but it doesn't guarantee anything. You remove the human factor prone to mistake, to the tech factor prone to malfunction.

Miracle #1

THE COMING OF THE UNIVERSE INTO EXISTENCE

The origin of the universe is described in the Qur'an in the following verse:

"He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth."(The Qur'an, 6:101)

This information given in the Qur'an is in full agreement with the findings of contemporary science. The conclusion that astrophysics has reached today is that the entire universe, together with the dimensions of matter and time, came into existence as a result of a great explosion that occurred in no time. This event, known as "The Big Bang" proved that the universe was created from nothingness as the result of the explosion of a single point. Modern scientific circles are in agreement that the Big Bang is the only rational and provable explanation of the beginning of the universe and of how the universe came into being.

Before the Big Bang, there was no such thing as matter. From a condition of non-existence in which neither matter, nor energy, nor even time existed, and which can only be described metaphysically, matter, energy, and time were all created. This fact, only recently discovered by modern physics, was announced to us in the Qur'an 1,400 years ago.



The sensitive sensors on board the COBE space satellite which was launched by NASA in 1992, captured evidentiary remnants of the Big Bang. This discovery served as evidence for the Big Bang, which is the scientific explanation of the fact that the universe was created from nothing.

Lol funny stuff. They should rename the Quran to "Broscience 101, with your host Mohammad Bro Scientist".

They had Mark Karpeles as a member of the original foundation  apparently, it's going to be a hard work for them to regain credibility.
3505  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Is Open Bazaar up and running ? on: April 07, 2015, 04:47:18 PM
No. It's still in development as are a few other decentralized markets and exchanges. I'm sure when it goes live this forum will be packed full of threads and discussion about it. I'm quite excited for them personally.

what other decentralized markets like OB are opening up?

There's a few here:

http://motherboard.vice.com/read/the-race-for-the-first-decentralised-silk-road-is-on
http://motherboard.vice.com/read/this-decentralized-bitcoin-market-is-for-legal-stuff-only
http://motherboard.vice.com/en_uk/read/darkmarket-the-decentralized-answer-to-silk-road-is-about-more-than-just-drugs

Probably some more in dev too.

Good stuff but, even if they release a decentralized Silk Road... who is going to risk it? Even if it's decentralized, you could be buying directly from a govt guy or something, so no thanks.

At OP, which trading software or website is the picture from?
That is https://www.bitcoinwisdom.com
You can have a MACD and draw all kind of lines, Fibonacci etc.. i wish all exchanges implemented that style and not some simple ass graphics.
3507  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buttercoin shutting down due to "low interest in Bitcoin among investors" on: April 06, 2015, 11:04:04 PM
Funny how that infrastructure is built, hyped and then disassembled and packed up again. Of course all this comes from bad bear market which in turn comes from high inflation supply of coins to which none of these nutjobs around here would admit. Bitcoin could have been a raging success ... if they only would have gotten the supply right.... (!)
Dude are you aware this is a gift for us that missed the initial boat? we can still get btc due the surpluss of generated coins which is temporal, in a year or 2 the gap will close and then people that didn't get BTC now will CRY.
3508  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Zero Hedge reports High Frequency Trading coming to BTC... on: April 06, 2015, 10:57:15 PM
they fail.

because exchange apply tax ... and bitcoin network apply tax.

 Grin sorry, folks.

no shadow trading in nanoseconds here ...  Roll Eyes
Even if you put those taxes into the equation, trading with cryptocurrencies is way better (and more fun) than with the same old ass assets.
3509  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The former CIO of Nike is joining a bitcoin bank on: April 06, 2015, 10:55:52 PM
Nike? You mean Nike the Sportswear Factory?
Yeah it's Nike the world famous sportswear brand, and he is talking about the former CIO, so Nike is not directly involved with Bitcoin (yet).
3510  Economy / Services / Re: [BIT-X.com] Earn Bitcoins by Posting | Signature Campaign on: April 06, 2015, 10:53:54 PM
Hi, im on Bitmixer right now, i love it because it has an automatic payment system and you don't need to re enroll which is incredibly annoying, but ti seems now you have automated the process too and your rates are better... my question is: Will the campaing keep going for a long time or can it stop at any time? I wouldn't like to join and lose my spot in Bitmixer one only to find out that after 1 or 2 months it gets closed or places get cut and I get kicked... another reason I like Bitmixer is because its very solid, it has been running non stop for a year or so. And just like jobs, consistency is better than a sightly higher salary with the risk of getting kicked at any time.

Also, what are the fees when you withdraw from Bit-x to your personal wallet?

thats all thanks
3511  Economy / Services / Re: Up to 0.035 BTC weekly for YOUR SIGNATURE *New rules on: April 06, 2015, 10:47:44 PM
Are they considering a upgrade of the prices or definitely not? BTC prices keep going down/stays this low and meanwhile other campaigns like Bit-x are automatizing their process and pay better..
3512  Other / Politics & Society / Re: I should buy a boat on: March 19, 2015, 05:12:28 PM
If I was one of the lucky early investors with tons of BTC, i would absolutely live on a boat, install some solar panels there and live off the sun. It would be great. Too bad I cant afford it Sad
3513  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Sweden the welfare state - I get $1k for doing nothing now on: March 19, 2015, 04:50:16 PM
European countries can have these luxurious welfare states and socialistic mentalities because they spend very little on military spending. I don't endorse the former but wish the US would do much less of the latter.
European? you might mean a couple of them, the rest are pretty much screwed. Sweden clearly cannot go way the way it goes now forever, doesn't seem very sustainable to me..
3514  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Obama wants mandatory voting on: March 19, 2015, 04:47:14 PM
There are some positives and negatives of this. People take for granted the fact we are free to vote, but then again, forcing people to vote just sounds not right to me.

Some serious banks are making big predictions on Bitcoin, including 10K €:
http://www.coindesk.com/bbva-bitcoin-disrupt-financial-services/

I don't know where did I read it but BBVA made a prediction of 10K € over the next years, not 2015 tho.
3516  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A Threat to Bitcoin? Facebook Rolls Out P2P Payments on Messenger on: March 19, 2015, 04:40:54 PM
I don't see this as a threat... Why would it be? P2P or not, we know that bitcoin is the real decentralised technology...  

Take a look at this, UK gov is trying to make their country a global center for digital currency trade and fintech in general. They know how big of a potential bitcoin and the blockchain has when it comes to financial technology development.

Could facebook's User to User payment processor achieve any of this? Probably not.

Nice, love the bitcoin community, these guys are fast at creating these nice and clear looking pictures that put things into comparative. Excellent for noobs that may think this is "bitcoin by mark zuckerberg" so to speak.
3517  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you trust yourself to manage your own private keys? on: March 19, 2015, 04:38:49 PM
I may really look into Xapo. I know that feel of lossing a lot of documents over the years. Human error is unavoidable, lossing your wallet.dat could be fatal.
3518  Economy / Economics / Re: What do you guess about he future of bitcoin? on: March 19, 2015, 04:37:24 PM
Everyone knows that bitcoin is not a stable currency here is a graph :


Do you think bitcoin have possibilities to be more stable in the future ?
What do you think about the future of BTC?

I think that bitcoin will become the world reserve currency , you can save your money and it's a way super secure than everything we can imagine.
The bitcoin now are are being widely accepted and not controlled by government

The only way to stop the volatility is to have more and more and more people using it. There's not any other way. Bitcoin is a true free, unregulated market. The only way to stop volatility is by having a lot of people making constant movements.

Some of the first ever Bitcoins that I bougth where by using Virwox and a credit card linked to paypal, it was quick, but slow to withdraw, limited, and very high fee.
3520  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you think Buffett was right? on: March 18, 2015, 04:18:15 PM
Buffett is good at what he does, but his track record doesn't mean anything for things he doesn't know. For example, I wouldn't count on him giving good advice on how to play go (an ancient chinese board game). He obviously doesn't understand tech, or doesn't care to understand tech, making his opinions on this matter about as authoritative as your average Joe.

Even if bitcoin fails, his reasons are simply not correct. A lot of people don't understand this concept. You can have the wrong reasons but accidentally hit the right answer. It doesn't make you right, though.

So yes, bitcoin still has a lot of obstacles to overcome. But we should listen to people who actually did their research and critical thinking, rather than famous people.
Buffet is too old to get his head around Bitcoin and why it matters, im pretty sure he didn't even got the importance of the internet back then, he can't see the analogy with Bitcoin being the TCP/IP of money, too computer illiterate to do so.
