yes because that is the type of discussion that goes on in this forum, right?

great link - thanks

hard to tax something you do not completely control

Let me give you a VERY RECENT and VERY similar history lesson

If you were old enough to be on the internet and doing business on it at the time

check out something that was once called

e-gold

which is a forefather of BTC

and understand WHY the government shuts down such things.

And who IRL lives like this?

if you travel and go to a new town, do you NOT ask for directions because you are expected to read every book from the chamber of commerce, Google Maps, City, County and State laws, Restaurant reviews - etc

cmon

PEOPLE ASK QUESTIONS


be a helpful human being -- or go back to your troll cave

but don't attack people for not knowing...because there was a time when you didn't know either.

YES YOU are responsible for slow BTC growth...but you are too proud and ignorant to realize it

Again,

Many people (the average person) has a real life, real family, real friends and a real job or business.

To expect a new person filter through more than just the basics (and to believe that person should learn simply by reading and NEVER asking questions or processing) shows the failure humanity is moving towards at breakneck speed.

Mining
Trading
Exchanges
Speculating
Pooling
Contracts
Etc, etc


Should a person be expertly versed IN EVERY aspect before asking a question?

Considering the average person on the internet does not know the difference between a Kb and Mb and Gb....do you REALLY think they should understand Mh/s vs Th/s and how that relates to the fluctuating market?

Seriously?

come on...

the arrogance of such thinking is beyond xenophobia...

unless you owned one of the largest pools, and the other 9 pool owners were paid also (as I said in the original statement)

there is an old saying

"The thief has the most locks"

This is indeed a new account.  I am a real person, look me up, this is my actual Company Name...been on the internet since it started. So while "I" am not new, I AM new to bitcoin (but not alternative currencies).  I know a lot because I did in fact take the time to study up on BTC before coming here and posting...however, that doesn't matter to the know-it-alls who feel everyone else is beneath them.

unfortunately this is common in many forums and new type trends...sadly, there are rarely those who recognize and learn from this fact.

If people were more welcoming, open and helpful, bitcoin would take over virally simply by virtue of HOSPITALITY and CUSTOMER SERVICE...ijs

no but hopefully they will be prepared for what is coming next!

and so the marching procession begins...

soon you all will be coming out of the woodwork

i want as many of you on one thread as possible!

I will get targeted opinions, and faster than sifting through mounds of unrelated data.

slow adoption rate.   The amount of press, publicity and exposure BTC has....it COULD be integrated into society a lot more than it currently is.

But see how you started your response...you embodied the spirit of the post and only show that I am correct.

UNEDUCATED much guys?

"POSITED"

as in: to POSIT a premise? (someone said Google is your friend...so maybe in this instance it would be valid for you to check it out)

that is not a misspelling

But i understand how if you are still in 8th grade, that was not a word on your vocab list yet...

GREETINGS XENOPHOBES!

You -- YES YOU!

You are the reason BTC has NOT taken the world by storm.

You heard about bitcoin 1,2 maybe 3 years ago. You spent 180 hours STRAIGHT with no sleep drinking mountain dew so you could understand every possible intricacy of all that is Bitcoin!

You have kept up to date, you PREDICTED the fall of MT GOX, YOU FIGURED OUT WHO SATOSHI was before anyone else, you get a google alert for Bitcoin BTC and even the letter B!

You own a Bitcasino or BitFaucet (and make sure you post often so that your signature advertises it!)

Kudos to you, as you were...well to use internet forum jargon "FIRST!"

Good for you...you knew before anyone, you still know.  You are current on hashrates, conversion rates, highs/lows, ASICS, S1/S2, satoshi, cross currency transactions, up and comers like 42, has beens, wanna bees...i mean you "get it"


Too bad for the rest of the world.  When they come around, they have a lot of catching up to do.  But we can count on you.  We can count on you to try to give yourself some self worth by attempting to lower the worth of others.  You will resort to name calling and picture posting.  Ask them if they "are mad, bro".  Call them "noob". Even really show how unintelligent you are by calling them "autistic" or "retarded" and using it as an epitaph (how asinine and insensitive is that?). If all else fails, call them a girl or child...and finally, use lots of profanity!

You see, when people come to "check" out bitcoin on forums like this, you will be quick to tell them how anything they say is unoriginal as you have been there and done that and already discussed it a year ago already *yawn* how boring for you, right?   You will let them know that they should use the search feature of the forum and spend hours searching years of posts to try to find one that manages to address their unique CURRENT question or comment.  You will be sure to tell them to use google, and search through the 10s of 1000s of web pages created by bitcasino and bitfaucet sites to try to find a legit answer that is actually up-to-date.

no the government, IRS, CHINA, Market fluctuation etc


None of those things stop bitcoin from being readily accepted and used...

it is those who have self appointed themselves as all-knowing gatekeepers.  Those who ruin it for the sincere humans who participate in BTC.  Those who are lonely little angry trolls with way too much time on their hands and way too little sense to use it productively.

In the real world - for the average person BTC is not EVERYTHING, and people have lives, family, friends, businesses...and not enough time or interest to find out who Satoshi is and what the Master Plan for BTC iss.  They just want practical application. 

Trolls attack enmasse all those who are "new" and drive away many big players who could make a big difference in adoption.

Xenophobia - thats the problem...and each person is either a part of the problem or part of the solution.

I can only imagine the nonsense that will be posted in defense of the "clique"....so i better unwatch it now.

I didn't say THE government..I said A government COULD

lol - good one

Which word is spelled incorrectly, genius?

Google is an aggregate of miscellaneous information and an inefficient way of finding specific information.   



GOOGLE does NOT provide answers....it provides links to WEBSITES it THINKS have answers.

ANYONE can put up a website, even those with self serving interests.

I want specific and true info, not who spent the most on SEO.

and which one of those is not a general conversation or one with 20 million bunny trails?

which specifically is WHAT I POSITED???

uhm....

What school taught you there were only 21 Million USD?

and where are BTC worth 1.2 MM each?

"fucking dumb" indeed
