I'm beginning to doubt this whole thing.  Bitcoin isn't anonymous and is actually more traceable than cash, it is actually run by a secretive central core of developers instead of being decentralised, has massive security issues instead of being rock solid technology.

Actually everything I thought when I first bought in turns out to be 'not quite right'.

Anyone else feeling a little bit cheated? I want to keep the faith but wondering if there are better things I could be putting my money into (tesla for example).


The Bitcoin cultists and self-deluded shills under influence of bitcrack have deceived you, now time to embrace reality and realize that even with those (contemporary?) flaws, Bitcoin is still the first and currently largest decentralized digital and limited/scarce asset with 0 counterparty risk.

So wait, you're telling me this super risky technology that I don't understand won't make me rich overnight?!? I'VE BEEN RIPPED OFF!!!

Is that actually you in the avatar? are you the guy that makes the youtube videos?

EDIT Having just scrolled back through your last posts.. I can answer my own question - no and thank god for that...

There was once a troll named Fonzie
of which no one was very fond see..
Because every word he spoke, was a terrible joke
and everywhere he looked there waz a ponzi.

There once was a troll named Fonzi..
a little little fish in a big pond see.
Because every meme played, seemed trite and homemade
not the sharpest knife in the box he.

There once was a troll named Fonz
took his name, from Happy Days long gonz
but to all of our despair and with no class or flair
The Fonz liked to share share share share

Has anyone seen dear Fonzie ?
No!
Not I! Not me!
Not us! 
I see!

Excuse me mr Columbo but maybe he is dead?
" but for a troll he seemed really well fed?"
Perhaphs he fell somewhere and banged his stupid head…
Ok Bitcoiners fair enough, that was well said…
but, oh ,ah ,one more question before I go blondie.
Maybe he drowned whilst swimming in the pondie?

Ok ok you got me !  I confess, I really have to get it off my chest
what happened to the dear old lamented Al Fonzi.

He was a float, when I threw him from the boat
but with my boot to his head
I kept him down till he was dead
and now there is no more ol Fonzi.

You see there is no bubble down there I  screamed and cried
and then slowly, thankfuly Fonzie died.

So…..

There once was a troll named Fonzie
but now we can hear him no more
Maybe a note
or the odd quote..
despite your f'kin ignore

Once long ago there was a troll named Fonz
or maybe it was Al-fonso, or Al Fonzie
I cannot remember ,or quite care...
just a mere flash of memory as I stare
at the Bitcoin price up in the sky
Now Proudon... what a guy...

...and now… well….really what can I say?

I guess in the words of the real Fonzie "Hey hey hey"

Where shall we go a sailing today?

Theories as to why Stamp is still higher than Gox?

They haven't proven themselves to be total incompetent idiots?

bahhh haaa haaa : ) good one!  Cheesy





 
4305  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: February 11, 2014, 11:15:37 PM
Don't know about you, guys, but I am going to have some fresh fiat on Stamp tomorrow, or the day after. This is too good an opportunity to miss out on! Smiley

The fear is palpable. Bitcoin will spring back just like it always has, and the ones who allowed themselves to get manipulated into selling will regret it.

Guess what, you don't have to fall for it.

Exactly..

When things really start heating up this year and the price goes ballistic... the fudsters are going to have to run really fast to keep up...

Once the button gets pushed...

The fudsters and perma bears are going to feel some pain

The individuals are not the real problem; the ability for the individuals to have an effect is the problem.  A decentralised exchange is the way forward. Wink

That is coming Nxt

errr ?  : ) I am tempted to answer a random question here...  but anyway..

ok what ever you say : )   not sure why you directed that at me, nothing to do with my post, and you are preaching to the converted....I am not afraid in the slightest.....I have stated my opinion regularly on this thread.. I come on here mainly for fun, and for some newses.. but I am a long term hodler and dip buyer...  I am not confused... and I have teflon skin when it comes to FUD, and I am not a very jumpy person.

my general attitude remains


Your post deserved an explanation that there is no great conspiracy, there are just illusions that are breaking.
Good luck to you.

So it is "breaking illusions" that are attacking the exchanges?

Reality is attacking the exchanges would be a more suitable phrase.

yeah... ok... you are talking about somthing else, which was my point about random answers to a question...

I am asking about who or what is attacking the exchanges with the attacks that are happening at the moment... the actual attacks, on the actual exchanges............ the actual attacks...... on the actual exchanges...  that we are...... having ... at .... the ... moment... so yeah there is obviously someone doing it... it is not just "reality" ffs... I am talking reality here not conspiracy theories.. I think you are confused... and yeah the price is going to do what prices do, shocker..  seems to me you just wantd to offload a load of fud, well happy days for you. I will be interested in the FUD in about 2017 when I actually give a hoot.

Ok cool... hope that has sorted that one.

I wonder WHO/WHERE  the attack is coming from ?

JP Morgan
MtGox
Putin
China
Fonzie's mum
NSA
Some 14 year old in Rio
Mini Putin (you know he has got one)
A bunch of c.......

Reality is attacking the current market price with furious anger.
The price should have gone down around the end of December/start of January, as it got clear that by closing the Chinese exchanges, there will be a big drop in demand.
It should of gone down and then have a nice recovery with opening new exchanges at new locations. But because the market was stupid, it went into denial and tried to push the price up with force of desperation. Now this force is ending and there isn't enough of it to drive the price up. But with bitcoin, if the price won't be going up, it will mostly go down to the level of previous bubble height (right now 200$) and stay there for some time until recovery.
This is the trend of bitcoin. Now the cycle will only take more time, because the market tried to break the trend by trying to keep the price up.
200$ BTC is not a disaster or nothing to be afraid of. It's normal for bitcoin. Just let it happen already and we can continue this natural form of development.
Keeping the price up in this artificial manner is the reason for all this confusion and FUD. People can sense it that the price isn't normal and therefor there will be more doubt on everything.

this fast recovery seems to say this is a very irrational market ...

markets in th short term are irrational... and quite dumb.
4312  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: February 11, 2014, 06:43:33 PM
Too bad we live in a practical and not a technical world. That's the thing you'd expect from a lawyer.

what? blitz, u are against btc?
I have an aversion against dogmatic and dishonest people. It culminates in outbursts of the opposite order sometimes, even though I like Bitcoin.

ha ha you mad man! I like it.

"“Recall that currencies don’t become widely used spontaneously or through a grassroots campaign. They become widely used nationally because a government declares them legal tender, and they become widely used internationally because they are legal tender in a significant economic area with large, unrestricted capital markets.”

Yea, governments sanctioned facebook twitter p2p arab spring and so much of what else that's been happening lately ...

Currencies have always become widely used spontaneously and through a grassroots campaign.  Fiat currency as we know it today has only existed since 1971.  It is an experiment, and it appears to be failing.  Every government issued currency has inevitably failed, with the exception of those currently in use.

Anyone who would believe JPMorgan's comments on currency deserves what they get.  I pity their children, however.


JP Morgan only likes a currency if it is sodden with the blood and tears of millions of innocent people....  I would not touch a JP morgan currency
with a 100ft pole.. dirty evil rotten bastards that have had their grubby little claws around the throat of humanity for far too long...

Just recived a tiny amount of BTC twice in a temporary hotwallet I use sometimes..

Two messages with two words in "enjoy" + "sochi"

http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1xenyd/just_received_weird_tiny_payments_1sochi_1enjoy/

Ah, I had forgotten about that thing. Did a quick search and found this:

Ripple is what happens when a turd drops in a toilet.

I think that image ^ explains what ripple really is.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

And the great Satoshi did look down upon the world and was sad, for its economics did vex the people of the world, causing misery and unhappiness amongst them. So he gathered about him two buckets of polished obsidian and reached into the world, lifting from it its economy in his two great hands. Artfully, he began to disassemble that economy, placing the good bits in the bucket on his right and the rest in the bucket on his left. For many days and many nights (that would be reckoned as aeons to mortal man), did he toil at his task until his hands were empty and the buckets were full. Then he lifted the bucket at his right and presented it to the world saying in a voice that echoed to the highest mountaintop and lowest valley, to the trees and rivers and deepest caverns, "Behold, world and tremble for I give you Bitcoin". The other bucket he put outside the backdoor next to the bins where a passing simpleton noticed it and said "Will you be my friend? I can call you Ripple".

And that is how it was.


 

Brilliant : )
