There are still 60,000 after those in the hands of the FBI if I'm not mistaken. I wonder if the market is still affected by these auctions, last time it spiked and then continued to crash.

Another month is passed, I'd like to continue if needed.

Yes, almost everything is covered by the national sanitary system which is backed by taxes.
If you go to a civil hospital anyway you have to wait for months before a visit, if you are not suspected to be a serious case. But private clinics offer better services for just a fraction more of the cost.  


So basically the same amount the population has increased from then to now, lol. Pretty scary.

Yeah, well, that was what I intended but I didn't explain it. Health insurance is obscenely expensive in america, while in europe you have a completely different system. Of course in my country there aren't many advanced structures at all and they can't provide everything usa ones do (but we do have some excellent hospitals in some of the major cities and pretty advanced research and machines there), but the cost for average services is far more affordable, almost free for many things.

Well, hasn't always be like that anyway? And it's not only in America, every european country has the same response, apart from the north europe which is anyway a decade in the future. Keep in mind though technology is becoming cheaper and cheaper, while access to many other things is now completely free. People may have less money, but there wasn't ever a time in history where we had such a connection with everything and access to almost everything we need. The only worse thing you americans have is probably the health care, which in my country (Italy) is really cheap for many things, yet people keep complaining.

And again gold is going down suffering from the strong us dollar, while Bitcoin shows it doesn't care at all and just wants to go its way. The next year will be very interesting, and I'm confident I did a good thing by still not buying gold.

It wasn't quick in a negative way at all, in every way you look at TA that bottom at 275$ met a powerful support that ignited buying at every level after that. We just broke the midterm downtrend resistance and this is giving confidence to some and causing FOMO in others. I'd say that until we hit 480$, we are in a green zone and noone should be worried to have bought before 420$.

If everything went like it should, Philae should be on the comet at this moment, and the signal is arriving here at the speed of light. We will know in probably twenty minutes if everything went well. Watch the stream at the esa site.

Some insights:

“The cold gas thruster on top of the lander does not appear to be working so we will have to rely fully on the harpoons at touchdown,”says Stephan Ulamec, Philae Lander Manager at the DLR German Aerospace Center.

“There were various problems with the preparation activities overnight but we have decided to ‘go’. Rosetta is lined up for separation,” says Paolo Ferri, ESA’s head of mission operations.

Well it's been some years since I thought gold was about to tank, at least to a historical support line. This was not only because of banks manipulating the price but also because of dollar politics being changed and obviously big players knew about this in advance. Another thing to consider is that we will start mining asteroids in the next decade, so what we today know as "precious" metals, won't be precious anymore, and we could discover great new materials opening the doors for completely new things where gold and friends may be useless. I wouldn't bet on metals for making a profit, but they could still save your ass from inflation, at least for the next 5-7 years, after that who knows.

Indeed, now we have OpenBazaar which is coming to Windows too and that will open the doors to a plethora of users which will strenghtening a really powerful tool for online transactions of goods. It is like p2p applied to ebay.

Well the 8/41 ema daily confirms we are in a trend reversal, but there are other emas that are providing a much stronger resistance. It may be not a month, but I wouldn't discount a couple of weeks of struggling before we know with some more certainity what is happening.

Well of course there's no answer to it, but the general consensus is that it will until we will reach a point where the increase in hashing is negligible since the price will stabilize. If nothing else it will because we can only produce a finite amount of power from our universe (at least for what we know today).

I lost 0.8 btc at the beginning of my journey that was a couple years ago, and recently 0.05 play money.

+ 0.85

It means that he is just trying to get public on his side, as he has always done in the past by saying one thing and doing the exact opposite. Americans lost many privileges in this decade and never objected, I hope they will stand up at least for the Internet.

I think you should really study the matter in details and with a serious attitude, before you say that it happened "by accident" and once you get the basics you will see that dna is not perfect at all, the results from what you suggest was made from a divinity is even worse.

Well that's the beauty of a free market, but surely it can be a downside too. If you want to be a honest person, check if the guy you're dealing with understands the technology and make sure he understands the money he's "investing" in Bitcoin can be lost overnight, so that he's not spending too much for his pockets.

Where are you from? You could look for a near Bitcoin ATM http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-atm-map/ and buy them there.

Indeed, that's what I always said to whoever thought banks will oppose Bitcoin, at least in its infancy. Banks always look for new ways to make money and they often enter grey areas as a source of liquidity; in the future things may change, but I still think banks will change the way they do business instead of directly attacking Bitcoin.

E a cosa gli serve essere riconosciuti dai governi? Diamo ancora qualche anno all'open source hardware di evolversi e tutte queste micronazioni diventeranno degli hub per tutti gli "estremisti" (in un senso abbastanza buono) che vogliono uscire dal sistema, sperimentatori vari o per chi semplicemente vuole contribuire alla società ma non può farlo dove già si trova. Decentralization is everywhere.

Ahahah, vabbe' non è il primo e non sarà l'ultimo articolo scritto da degli pseudocomplottisti che non si sono neanche presi la briga di leggere l'introduzione su wikipedia. In ogni caso, ormai il web è pieno di articoli clickbait di una qualità ridicola, almeno un paio d'anni fa qualcuno ancora si sforzava di creare dei contenuti almeno piacevoli da leggere.
