Leverage trade whatever markets are moving.  I'll trade anything that I can profit off of.  EUR/USD is a cash cow right now. 
Leverage is too scary. If price goes low you can be in debt. That.. I do not want. Unless you get a loan.. you will not be in debt if you lose your BTC.

If Greece leaves the Euro zone, that would make the Euro stronger, and that may happen.
Syryza or however its written just smashed the elections and won by big majority, things are going to get really really interesting. These guys dont want to be buttfucked by Merkel, but they are delusional if they think they can stop the Troika.
3843  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Let There Be Dark! Bitcoin Dark Wallet on: January 25, 2015, 11:51:41 PM
Is the Bitcoin Dark Wallet more anonymous than Monero? Why would you use this and not Monero?

Monero doesn't have the hashing security of Bitcoin, doesn't have the same degree of auditing and development as bitcoin, doesn't have the transaction volume bitcoin to hide the transactions, and since it is focused on privacy it is exposed to higher degree of suspect vs bitcoin which has a wide range of different types of transactions.

As far as privacy is concerned they are both similar- Darkwallet uses Stealth payments + CoinJoin mixing and will soon implement an optional coin shuffle mechanism as well. With Coinshuffle, darkwallet should be as secure or more so than Monero.
Monero doesnt need massive amounts of transaction volumes because the ring signature technology and the lack of a public blockchain make it so that that isnt a problem.
I think SilkRoad-ish markets will eventually accept XMR too beside bTC.

I do like the piece about the recording the conversation and telling them that anything about illegal activity would be reported. It is my understanding that MSBs need to report similar activity anyway and law enforcement is likely going not go crazy over you not having a MSB license if you are actually reporting discussion/bragging about illegal activity.

I don't however like the charity piece. Unless you actually plan on donating then you are opening a whole new can of worms. In theory law enforcement could charge you with something related to misrepresenting what you are doing with the funds and/or stealing from the charity and/or some other crime
If i go to a place where i've acorded to meet with a guy to exchange some bitcoins and the guy starts telling a disclaimer I would get pretty paranoid about it. It just doesnt feel right... too much tension.
In the past i have done succcesful trades and meet the guy and we had a coffee, now it seems the exchanges IRL will look like a drug deal exchange or something, where you are nervous as hell.

I can understand copper and Bitcoin being down. But oil has to go back up. It literally has to 100% guaranteed. The fate of the world actually depends on that price.

You gotta flesh out the justification for that conclusion, because I don't see it.

The world economy needs energy and if energy is super cheap that either means its very abundant or the world economy isn't growing enough.
at least that's what I think his idea behind that thought was.

What happens when oil reserves get finished? because it will happen sooner or later. If the fate of the world depends on that price and all oil gets consumed.. then what.

Wasn't it clear that the coins have been lost forever at this point?
Did anyone recover Anything?

Game is over for the surveillance pigs. MaidSafe is coming and the people will win the war. Decentralization is now unavoidable. Their spying methods, deprecated.
3848  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: D wave and the death of Bitcoin? on: January 24, 2015, 01:45:13 PM
This is science fiction at best. Dude just calm down sit and relax, in our lifetimes at least, we'll not see anyone cracking the SHA 256 hash. The blockchain is safe my friends.
3849  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Payment Processor "EgoPay" Confirms Hack, Insider Suspected on: January 24, 2015, 01:43:27 PM
Why is this happening? well simple, they see the price is going down and they are pannicking. It only takes one person that has access to the private keys (coins stored in the deposits) to withdraw and run with the money. This is why its hard to trust centralized exchanges.
3850  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ross Ulbricht faces a potential life sentence starting tomorrow. on: January 24, 2015, 01:41:47 PM
to me it looks like they got him pretty well covered... again I dont see him as a crook or criminal, he brought some interesting points to the table, but the shadow of a doubt is quickly fading.. unless his defense can pull a rabbit out of a hat, the confession of his friend with chat logs is going to be hard to dispute...
3851  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Justice Is Served I Guess on: January 24, 2015, 01:37:52 PM
SilkRoad was something that sparked bitcoin's discovery and surge into the 'mainstream'. Not only that but it was a revolutionary idea (the market, escrow system, general idea). You should be saying thanks.
we explode for all the wrong reasons. Bitcoin users are looked upon as child porn addicts and drug addicts to the people I've met.  We're apparently also a bunch of scammer thanks to bfl and mtgox and much more.  Yes there are a few good things like circle, dell, and Microsoft.

Early internet users were also looked upon as porn addicts.
Things change.  Smiley

We'll need at least 15 years for the general perception to change, thats a new generation of people that is born with cryptos and crypto-derived freedoms.
3852  Economy / Economics / Re: Historical data from exchanges on: January 24, 2015, 01:10:24 AM
Does any one know some place, for free or not in which there is historical data from altcoins exchanges. Any data like ticks, mid prices, transactions are useful to measure parameters but it would be nice if I could rebuild the entire market evolution over some period of time. Better if these data are available in a file because that's the only way to analyse a big quantity of data automatically.

Thanks in advance.

You mean a list of all the operations done given X time? I dont think any exchange stores that data for too long otherwise the amount of data to host would be insane but dont trust me on this one as im not sure.
3853  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: bootstrap.dat on: January 24, 2015, 01:07:45 AM
Always be sure to download the bootstrap file from a trusteable source.

Ideally you want to download it all by yourself from the begining tho... it should be ready in a day or two depending connection speed.
3854  Economy / Lending / Re: Need loan of 25btc on: January 24, 2015, 01:03:19 AM
Dude, with that high amount of ask, with that reputation, and with that lack of personal information given to guarantee you will pay back, you have it a bit hard IMO.
3855  Economy / Speculation / Re: It isn't possible for Bitcoin to go to $0 on: January 24, 2015, 01:01:35 AM
If bitcoin went to zero I would buy an     amount of coins.
It's possible that it goes to 0 and it's possible that you end up owning the entire Bitcoin supply, but realistically it isn't possible. It would mean there are 0 people in the world willing to buy your coins, then the price would be 0.
3856  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] FlappyCoin Community Takeover on: January 24, 2015, 12:58:36 AM
for the people who don't have the time to read the old story of hundreds of pages a few questions please:

-why did you let the coin be taken over if you did not really want to give it away?
-what was the reason for the last takeover?
-how do we know you are the original dev?
-who is the people who were doing the last takeover?
-does ANYONE know what BS this is with that flappy-shit? Is this some kind of 4chan-war or what the heck are you doing here?
FlappyBird was an insanely successful viral game, this is a coin after the character of the game, thats all.

Im still holding 300K which is basically a toxic asset in my portfolio. Im willing to hold if you guys can take this coin anywere as i got nothing to lose.
3857  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [QRK] Quark | Core 0.9.2.3 on: January 24, 2015, 12:56:21 AM
I bought back in the day and still hold my QRK, but im still on a loss.
What is the situation with Bill Still, does he still support this or he has sold? He never talks about cryptos anymore in his program.
3858  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency - 0.8.8.6 on: January 24, 2015, 12:54:50 AM
What are some marketplaces that accept monero? Supposedly you are working with i2p. There are sites accepting XMR now? I dont know how to use i2p yet so havent checked.
3859  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: SELL DOGECOIN on: January 24, 2015, 12:53:16 AM
why selling here, when there is so much exchanges out there ?
I guess its more private, but you still have LocalBitcoin for escrowed p2p business.
3860  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Decentralized exchange Bitsquare crowdfunding campain now live! on: January 24, 2015, 12:51:32 AM
This is what we need, i want to see tons of working decentralized exchanges happening.
What is the difference if you compare this to Coinffeine??
