Just watched Peter Schiff speaking about bitcoin and gold and found how deep is he in his delusion.
The main argument against gold and other precious metals is that they can be synthesized.
As soon as humanity discover cheap way to produce enormous amounts of energy (i.e. fusion), gold/platinum/palladium will be produced from cheap sources like mercury by a process called "transmutation".
I guess in 20-30 years gold will completely lost its value and become just another industrial metal.
Nope. You may right about diamonds but not gold. We are more then 20-30 years away from cheap enormous energy and once we get there the changes in society will be far greater then the price of gold. And still gold made this way will be more expensive then mined. Making gold in an accelerator takes a million dollar machine and tons of energy to make MOLECULAR level amounts of gold. You could get more gold by licking someones gold ring then from an accelerator. Even with tons of energy the machine cost and speed is just too slow. Free energy does not change the equation much. That being said.... I prefer Bitcoin. |

Playing devils advocate here.
It's been bothering me lately, thinking about this. Consumers have absolutely no motivation to use Bitcoin. And because of that, I don't understand how it will ever go global.
........
........
........
Tell me why this is wrong. Please.
Ever actually worked with a company like Bank of America? Paypal? Just one taste of how they really treat consumers when there is a problem will let you know why Bitcoin will be adopted. Once a consumer has an account wrongly frozen or otherwise attacked by one of these companies they will fall in LOVE with Bitcoin. |

It seems they doesn't really need donations. Probably they are sponsored by government.
I'll never donate them until they start accepting BTC.
I would not even after. They made some pretty pigheaded statements about why they would not accept it. That combined with 'deletion-ism' makes me not care much about them anymore. |

Bitcoin to the moon, literally. Well actually will need Golden Spike to accept bit coin for that to really happen. At current rates Satoshi could actually afford it!

If big queen topped out at $750 for the next few months and you got $600 not done badly. It is very hard to call a top in a wildly fluctuating market like Bitcoin.
If you think big coin is going to continue to rise you should try to buy coins back at one of the sites that is undervalued. Camp BX and BTC – E can fluctuate by $100 in one day. You may be to get those coins back pretty much for what you sold them at for a little while at least.

I have two sets of them unused. $29 each Plus shipping
Mehhhhh... sounds like an unreasonable price to me. I can get the 2x fan grills for about $3.80 per pair shipped on ebay, which leaves the fan plate itself, which you'd end up charging about $25 per pair, plus shipping... I'll offer $25 shipped for the lot (4 plates, 4 grilles). First class shipping is cheap, shouldn't cost more than ~2-3 bucks. If you think I'm lowballing, please link the original price/ad that wowe was selling these for. Get out a hacksaw and cut them yourself then.  You can buy a hacksaw for $9 and the metal you can get for a few dollars. That will save you even more! I think I am selling them for about the original wowe price. The link is gone now. |

I sell these for BTC at cryptoanarchy.com but am willing to do paypal for US addresses at a $2 premium. I cannot do international as tracking is just too expensive for USA to UK mailing.

This act is repeated hundreds of times in this subforum. Show graph. Make guess. I could look at that same chart and say, "I think this is a market maker shake out" None of us can guess the future, we can only make bets. |

The NSA standardized it and guided it's creation but did not invent the concept of it. There were other (less secure) ways of doing this before SHA-2 not created by the NSA. |

Same story repeated each and every time Bitcoin rises.
A crock of crap.
+1 Total load of shit. Agreed. But if one character was changed at least the store would be true temporarily (like a broken clock is right twice a day). "Why Bitcoin will FALL in the coming weeks....." |

Please stop with the $60 offers. I won't do it. I will take the screen off and sell just the screen on ebay for more then that. In fact I will do that next week.

i kind of just wanted to know what its worth, to be honest, and depending on that i might sell it
otherwise i want to learn how to preserve it etc
The most that an ungraded S1 2011 has sold for is 4.5, so I guess you could use that as an upper limit. No, I sold 4 so far at 5 BTC. All ungraded. |

I'll just repeat myself again here. US debt is so high that they can't even pay the interest on their loans. This means the debt will keep increasing endlessly until the chinese get sick of seeing their money disappear, at which point the dollar will go belly up.
That is simply not true. The US has never missed an interest payment. The interest is about $54 per month per person is the US. Not that this is a good thing, but the amount of interest is not going to kill the US dollar quickly. With some pretty simple (but not politically simple) budget cuts the deficit could be closed. In the long term it is not sustainable. |

So you're going to make it harder for people to spend coins they legitimately earned. I have no intention on slowing down transactions on the network by forcing people to implement changes to how they receiving mining payments/accept donations due to overreaction to some Coin Validation scheme that I doubt will ever actually come into existence. I'll react if it shows the slightest sign of ever actually being implemented, but I highly doubt it ever will be in the first place.
+1 There are many benefits to public addresses and address reuse. In banking it would NOT BE SAFE to give out your bank account numbers, but with Bitcoin since the transactions are one way, it is not as problematic. The whole idea is Bitcoin gives the user CHOICE. Why would we start to take that benefit away from users as a reaction to something that probably will not happen? |

Nobody? Someone must know where one can get these.
Yep I am sitting on a fuck ton of wrist bands somewhere too. Don't do it lol I don't want to sell them I just want to buy a few for myself, lol. Oooo! Here is a site: http://www.wrist-band.com or I think there is a listing on ebay for single custom ones. I misread your post. I can do a group of these and put them on my site in singles. What would people be interested in? "Bitcoin - In Cryptography We Trust" "Bitcoin - You asked for change, we gave you coins" Etc? Colors? |
