Honestly, I wonder why some random miner from 2009 with 400k Bitcoin HASN'T sold everything.  I think he's a fantastically huge idiot if he hasn't done so already.  Seriously...being an early adopter is like finding a million dollars superglued to the sidewalk (gotta do a little thinking to get it off the sidewalk without destroying it, but you're a moron to let it sit there without doing anything about it).

Why would you sell for $4 million if you can potentially sell it for $40 million next year?

Coz you're impatient, and scared.


That's one of the dumbest things I've heard in a long time.

My question or my answer to it? Perhaps you could answer the question more intelligently then.

Sure.  $4 mil is a guaranteed retirement.

Edit:  By the way, if you have $4 mil in a savings account at, let's say, an annual interest rate of .05%,  that's 20 grand a year right there for letting it sit while you figure out what the hell to do with it all.

The thought of completely retiring on a mere $4m is downright horrible to me. I'd feel like I'd completely 'given up'.

I guess people just have different expectations, but if I only made 20k per year in interest I'd feel like a loser who didn't really even try to make it big.

$40m is getting there, but really total RETIREMENT? Depends how you value time/money now I suppose.

$4m doesn't even pay for half a jet.


Dude, you sound like a total piece of shit.  If I was a 3rd world country, I'd kick your ass.

Hehe I'm glad there are people like you who have such small dreams and have such a low expectation of what they can achieve in their lives... makes things a hell of a lot easier for me.


Dude, you really need to learn the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic benefit.  My gut feeling is that you really have no idea what happiness is or how to achieve it.  I also have a feeling I already am and will always be richer than you, so long as you hold that mentality.

Sure.  $4 mil is a guaranteed retirement.  You can buy a wonderful house, a wonderful car, etc. travel anywhere you like, and you already won't have to work a day for the rest of your life.  You will also probably have a couple mil left over.  Investing this in something like a Roth IRA (especially if you're young) will give you the opportunity to have many more millions guaranteed in a decade.  The price of Bitcoin could also go down a lot if someone decides to dump before you do, and then you missed you chance (this is a very likely possibility).  How do I know this is likely?  I would do it in a heartbeat.  That means if I had $4 mil profit in Bitcoins, you better believe I'd dump it ALL and I would have absolutely no guilt for screwing you over if you were the other one with $4 mil in Bitcoins.  I'm sure there are many more lie me.  You could also do the whole retirement thing, and with the $2 mil you have left over, reinvest in Bitcoin if buyers decide to suck up all the coins you dumped.  Need I go on?

Are you interested in a guaranteed retirement now?  Or the potential of a guaranteed retirement later with the risk of losing it?  Seriously, how greedy can you be?  "God I just won a 4 million dollar lotto!  I fucking hate when that happens!"

I simply refuse to handwrite because of my activities on another place/forum that deals with things that can be considered illegal. Forensic teams are quite advanced and I'd rather not play with fire.

I can jump through any other hoops you'd like to know of before purchasing. If I'm misunderstanding escrow completely and what I said isn't possible, then please explain.

I'm at my grandmother's house with my family.

If you notice, the two things I do as a hobby don't have pictures(Turntables and GFX Cards) because I didn't figure I'd be selling them, and now there are people questioning my legitimacy because I can't provide handwritten photos of my cards?

And as far as me scamming, I could take a damn picture of cards at best buy or any other location, and then have you send me BTC, and not send out anything.

Because I'm in the court system does not speak of my character, something of which I have had no opportunity to prove on these forums or with this system.

The handwriting is one concern.  The response to escrow is another.  Being in a court system due to criminal damage does, or at least can, speak of character.  The low number of posts vs. the high amount of monetary value requested in multiple threads is another.  

My suggestion - if you're very serious about this, find a buyer that has a lot of good rep, ship first, then allow said buyer to send BTC or $$ after he has received the product.

The other thing is I want to see into the idea of mining cryptocurrencies in space with the mining done on satellites that use space based solar power SBSP for an energy source or using a throium reactor on the moon or mars. They might get a lot of stales if they are trying to mine bitcoins on earth so they could start a new block chain and then trade those coins with us for bitcoins. They could even be used to back a fiat currency which we then float on forex markets and kind of start a space based monetary fund using sol as our central bank.

I think I'm just going to open a bottled air business.  Want to buy Hawaii air?  New Zealand air?  Stinky Guam air?  I'm your guy.  

get me an honest bottle of Martian air and we'll talk

Haha how do you know i didn't just suck on the bottle really really hard?

If you eat lethal poison, you will die no matter how much you think about it trying to make yourself not die.

Same with an environmentally induced chemical problem in the body.

It was your mental decision to eat lethal poison.

An environmentally induced chemical problem (and the lethal poison) wouldn't be a problem if you didn't mentally identify dying or the physical consequences as a problem.  A problem is defined by a subject.  If a subject doesn't define it as a problem, it's not a problem.

In my opinion, aside from it being incredibly obvious that all these alternative cryptocurrencies are made with the sole intention of making their creators rich (jealous of Satoshi much?), I think you guys should stick with one digital cryptocurrency, max.  Given its relatively short life-span and the number of unresolved problems associated with it, we can't even call Bitcoin a success yet, although I'm sure those who have profited significantly would be quick to call Bitcoin a success.  At least, it's not a success when compared to fiat currency which has its security and economy in tact.

Sometimes I wonder how often the members of this community realize how much they marginalize their selves.  Everyone's clients/miners/exchanges are ridiculously difficult to use for the average person, and if these issues still exist with the Google of digital cryptocurrencies (i.e. Bitcoin), how do you expect these other silly currencies with dumb names to work (town coin?  GTFO)?

I think all these cryptocurrencies give the Bitcoin community a bad name.  I think it perpetuates the 'geekiness' of Bitcoin -- imagine the average joe coming on here and then reading about namecoin, solid coin, IOcoin, selfish coin, nerd coin, haven't-gotten-laid-since-2009-coin...all these currencies give the impression we're all just a bunch of greedy fucks with no long-term vision of communal success.  If people put half as much time into stimulating the Bitcoin economy as they did devilishly programming their own cryptocurrency code, maybe at least one of these currencies would have a shot (again, i.e. Bitcoin).

Quit marginalizing the community.  Bitcoin is the only one that has a shot at mainstream popularity, so quit marginalizing the community with all this nerd crap like alternative cryptocurrencies, the word "troll" (Jesus Christ I hate when people say troll, and grandma does too), ridiculous clients and miners, etc.  People like simplicity. This complexity isn't cool.  It's chilly.  And chilly ain't never been cool.

You're making the very wrong assumption that people actually give a shit about Bitcoin or crypto-currency in the first place. A very large majority of the people involved in BTC, IXC, IOC, NMC and SC, like myself are here for the profit and nothing more. I will continue to hit every "Crypto- Currency of the Week" coin full force at low difficulty and then sell it like crack to idiots that buy it at Double C's ever adapting exchange!!!!

Looking forward to the next one!

BTC was doomed before it launched, just like any of the crypto-currencies it suffers from NEVER being able to have instant transactions.

Without instant transactions BTC will never become mainstream. It may very well exist as it does now to be a favorite amongst the Drug Dealers, Con Artist and "Geeks". But it a'int ever going to see use by Johnny Q. Public.

Peace,

LOL harsh, but mostly true.  I agree the transaction confirmation time is one of the biggest problems with bitcoin, but if you're a merchant it's great for internet transactions.  I can easily wait an hour or more before shipping something out, and I don't have to worry about fraud or other types of chargebacks, so it can have its place.  It is also much easier for international transactions, as outside the US a lot of people don't use credit cards, and other forms of payments (wires, Western Union, etc) are a big hassle.  I don't see walking into a store and using it though for sure, unless the merchant is selling a sandwich or something that he isn't going to lose much sleep over having stolen.

Like I said.  For every day transactions where you walk into a store and buy something, just give a name too so there's accountability.  Seriously, it's not a big deal if you hand a guy cash/Bitcoins and they know your name.  Everyone gonna be wearing masks too?  It's almost like people want to be anonymous so they can get away with fraud.  If people are honest and fair, lack of anonymity doesn't mean a thing.  You just make more friends.

hahahaha so if I mine for haven't gotten laid since 2009 coin what happens if I break the drought do my coins become worthless?

other than that "Seriously guys, why all the forks?" "why?, please stop guys, this is just not cool now, i'm not playing anymore, mum please tell them not to make any more forks waahhh"

If you break the drought you can exchange them for noodle coin.  But keep in mind the transaction fees are outrageous.

Bitcoin is the only one that has a shot at mainstream popularity

Some of us no longer believe that's true as investment and lending will be impossible with Bitcoin, so we are looking into alternatives (a currency with demurrage being the most promising, like Freicoin).

Nobody even knows how to pronounce Freicoin and you expect people to use it?
