I am glad to see that, but when you go here : http://bitcoinstats.org/count.htmldoesn't look it should be rising at all mining difficulty is rising, but not that much... do traders have some inside info or what ? only thing that I can use to explain this is that people are less afraid |

this is going in wrong direction
so what about PM-s in a politically optimistic environment
(I assume now is pessimistic environment and it is doing good for PM-s)
would prices drop if world starts looking better ?
how about nanotechnology squeezing silver out of electronics
and such things ?

How does land require your attention? Does it get up and walk away if you don't watch it?
If you do not visit or check it, there can be some trees missing, people tend to "test" ownership, especially if owner is known to almost never be around. running live stock across property, stealing wood... state may impose some tax based on weather you are growing some crops or just leaving it unattended. I have heard of people even trying to rewrite ownership, (this one should be checked for apartment regularly) |

I don't put much stock into financial advisers  wouldn't wealth be diversified nicely in apartment in capital city and rest divided into 25% in btc 45% in gold/silver and cash (euro, but could change it in matter of hours to something else) ? I think it is good for pm-s that this uncertainty in global economics persists, politicians would like to preserve this state, PM-s should do well in this environment btc should do well because it has a lot of room to grow in user base housing is always needed, at least my apartment is needed by me all i am missing is a crossbow any suggestions on some other things to buy to store wealth with absolute ownership over them I do not like land with forest, it would require too much of my attention... |

If you have any significant assets I would talk to a financial adviser before doing something that drastic. Putting all your money into PM is a good way to end up a lot poorer. Gold and other PM are just as capable of creating massive speculative bubbles as stocks, real estate, and other asset classes.
Why is Gold worth $1700 USD ounce? Why not $1200 or $800 or $300? It is simply worth $1700 because of consensus, a consensus of fallable humans. The same humans that drove real estate prices up 100%, 200%, 300% in 7 years. The same fallable humans who put 100 PE multipliers on petfoods.com.
While Gold will never go to zero it is a little comfort if you watched 90% of your life savings disapeared in your risky non-diversified portfolio.

the reason i am asking about ron paul is because it seems to me he is the only one that could have impact on my investments as for all others, I've got 'em covered, they would work for me if I am in gold and silver I am considering going all in into PM-s I know that I could be late to the party, especially in gold, I have no other alternetive, bitcoins i have almost enough now i would diversify with PM-s and maybe small apartement... I am running away from ALL promises, stocks, currencies, bonds... |

Did you say Ron Paul win with a straight face?
yes, but i am in europe, you can forgive me the info I have been getting is almost only ron paul noone else from this list http://www.politics1.com/p2012.htmI am not searching actively... but question was "what if", regarding his "healthy governing" ideas |

I would like to see how you all debate on this.
would fundamentals change, both for economics and for gold/silver ?
would dollar regain peoples confidence ?

I am buying physical silver form a guy regularly,
and I told him he could secure transactions with bitcoin,
like request upfront payment of 10% in bitcoin, because there were cases that people canceled order ,
or did not show up for trade.
At first, he seemed interested,
but later discarded the idea because it was
only complicating things for him
|
|
|
|
|
I tried as an outsider,
and the contact form requires profile info for submitting the request
so I just gave up
maybe someone already has an account there...

99% has had their private property invaded first,
and not so sincerely, with warnings in advance
this is not action, it is reaction (and too mild for my taste)
they are risking their ass for your children also

Ehhh perhaps you aren't understanding the way it works =) The Bitcoins are deposited by someone who creates the campaign. When users retweet the campaign, they're paid from those bitcoins based on the bitcoin address or email they've entered. If it's not a valid BTC address, the coins aren't sent. If it's the wrong email, coins will sit in BTCinch's system until they're claimed.
If a user sends btc to a new address or email and never does anything with them, then I suppose those coins are gone forever. But that doesn't hurt anyone except the person who forgot about them - all other coins become more scarce and thus more valuable in proportion.
aha, so messages are forwarded by people that want bitcoin, say no more |

can bitcoins somehow end up being lost in all this ?
tweet gets somewhere unwanted,
or receiver does't know what it is,
or just forgets about it, discards it, never collects and so on ?

They did not shut down FTP to protect Americans from anything - they shut down FTP because they were competition and they weren't getting their cut of the pie. Just look to Lotto for your proof - the government gets a large portion of that largess, so it's "legal."
lotto is ok because it depletes you of your money (your purchasing and voting power) from that POV poker is also ok, but problem with poker is that it makes you smarter, raises your level of awareness, and they surely don't want THAT in their backyard, therefore, it is illegal... |

I dunno, it looks kinda cartoonish to me  Also, the letters in "bitcoins" look like they are out of alignment, like they have not all been rotated the same amount? It is just about right, because people nowdays are becoming more and more cartoonish, it is a fact... all what media "teaches" new generations (for last few decades) is to be more irresponsible, childish, not to ask questions about government, so the product is childish person , on average, what is not appealing to us geeks should actually be pretty good for wider audiences |

genjix, I sent you PM and you didn't reply,
