Throw salt in their eyes, kick them in the knee, steal their wallet, and scream "THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED IF YOU HAD YOUR MONEY IN CRYPTO!"

Wow that is a going to be a difficult sell. Your best bet is to sell some bitcoins to cash and put them in an account in the bank. Then when you have closed on the house, convert back to bitcoins. This sounds like a recipe for potentially destroying tens of thousands of dollars in wealth. If at any time during the process BTC spikes upward, OP has lost money. Not worth it imho. |

Who is this Mircea Popescu and what has he done ? My favorite poster here, easily one of the smartest and most crypto-knowledgey legends to ever grace this forum. OP stinks of envy. The Feds are hunting Mircea Popescu... So what you're saying is that Mircea is a hero of truth and justice, than? I mean, if the fucking FEDS are after him/her... |

What if resistance is logarithmic? What if AnonyMint is a bankster shill? |

Full reserve banking with fiat using a block chain
Imagine a block chain acting as a ledger for a fiat currency such as USD or EUR. Ye gods!!  |

If cryptocurrency had been around in 1930, Hitler would've never risen to power, and World War II never would have happened.  Think about it. It's money they're stacking, in case you were wondering. They want to buy a loaf of bread. Just one more reason Bitcoin is good for the world. |

There is no possible endgame that involves the survival of fiat. It's already dead, the world just hasn't realized it .
But what do we do in meantime , before our coins appreciate exponentially , to make sure we feel like we are wealthy and winning ?  You do nothing. You wait for this equation to play itself out.  This is the same instruction I gave to friends and family when Bitcoin was $100. Few of them listened. |

I suppose this is more evidence of mind-boggling incompetence at Mt. Gox. Imagine a bank (or any other company) just "losing" a quarter of their assets for a couple years.
Audits are a pain, but they are our friend.
This is exactly why regulation is a good thing. It's funny how so much of the community wants everything to be completely free and unregulated until something goes wrong, then straight to the cops and the courts! Can't have it both ways people. I just wanted to stop by and say that I do not want it both ways. Keep your cops and your courts. I'll take full responsibility for my bitcoins, even if something goes wrong, thank you very much. As someone who wasn't stupid enough to lose any wealth in Mt. Scam, i agree with this sentiment. |

There's a very good reason why unregistered securities and scams tend to avoid taking US customers(or refuse to acknowledge that they do). I'm assuming you mean scams OTHER than the federal reserve and the US banking industry, here? |

The idea is to get them to do their job correctly, properly, legally, and well. Rather than lazily, ineffectually, and confusedly (as they have so far). And they will, basically because it's not up to them in any sense. It's the job. I haven't been here very long, but you are rapidly becoming my favorite posters on these forums. This indicates a high probability of you being (one of) the most intelligent person(s) on these forums, FYI. |

Probably just spammers being cute. These amounts are so small there's no reason to suspect anything nefarious.
This. Just some randos who want to be able to say "I sent Satoshi a satoshi! Herp derp" /thread |

People trust on gold as it is time tested. Those who have faith in BTC are the ones who understands the protocol and hence know it's value in long term. I wont tell u why as that would unnecessarily lead to sudden price rise. It is buy time  Hahahaha quoted for the MF'in truth. People either understand this technology, or they don't. The ones who do have been - and will continue to be - richly rewarded for however long it takes fiat to finally die. |

Hm you just need to make sure you own the private key to your account, because if you don't control the private key you don't own ... UH, ONE MOMENT. HOLD ON ... SHIT. BITCOIN USERS NOT AFFECTED  Anyone knowing the private key can come and empty your "wallet". And that's perfectly legal. I think you mean Bitcoin users are VERY affected. Sorry, let me clarify: Stupid, inept Bitcoin users VERY affected. Smart, competent Bitcoin users NOT affected AT ALL. Tell me, oh wise one, if I store my BTC in a brain wallet, how will my government steal it from me? How about if I store it in a paper wallet that I've buried in the ground somewhere? |
