"Despite the positive evidence on the profitability of technical trading strategies, it appears that most empirical studies are subject to various problems in their testing procedures, e.g., data snooping, ex post selection of trading rules or search technologies, and difficulties in estimation of risk and transaction costs. Future research must address these deficiencies in testing in order to provide conclusive evidence on the profitability of technical trading strategies."
TL;DR:Lol, BTCtrader71 beat me to it  |

@the ApplePay brigade -
what does ApplePay do that my contactless debitcard doesn't?
Besides shout mug me I have an iphone 6plus?
It gives you clout amongst ur peers, separates you from the hoi polloi, and makes you attractive to the opposite sex. |

...tock market and the slow but steady rise is really more of a ponzi scheme than anything else right now.
Unlike this ponzi, which is in a steady decline Protip: If you must "invest" in an illusion, chose the one most people believe in. Be a leader, not a follower. Ridiculous advice. Every sheep on this forum is trying to lead. Laughter ensues. |

Hmm...Let's just assume Apple gets 1% per Transaction...that means 60.000$ transactions / year gets them about the same money as an iphone...i don't know anyone who spends 5k / year with credit card...
You don't know anyone who spends 5k a year with CC? Nice to meet you  *And that's assuming that an iPhone costs $600 to make (false), and that it will be tossed in a year (false). And that it couldn't be offered via subscription (false).  in austria most people don't give a shit about credit cards anyway...just for online purchases at max... i never had a cc in my whole life...never needed one here the iphone 6 costs about 800€ without subscription with subscription it is from 0€ and 75€ per month to 600€ and 10€ per month the usual iphone buyer gets a new one at least every second year (at least every iphone user i know of) it has production costs of about 200$ Don't forget that you are comparing a plastic shopping bag (bitcoin) to a Gucci Crocodile Tote (iProduct). Convince your GF she'll be just as happy walking around with a shopping bag--then you'll have a point.  |

apple pay is only available on apple products right?
the products that even most rich westerners finance because they can't blow $600 on a phone
yeah thats gonna take over the world where global average income is like $200 a month lol
Don't be ridiculous. If Apple Pay takes off, the phones will be free! Do CC companies charge you for the plastic/chip/magstrip that is your CC? @findftp: Trusted fiat + exciting, convenient wrapper = pure win! one is a 20 cent piece of plastic the other a 600 dollar phone. rdiculous comparison Do you really think an iPhone costs $600 to make? Do you know how much moolah Apple will make in fees over the lifespan of an iDevice? Don't you think Apple could cludge together a crappy cheap iPhone Mini for the poor people?

<btc talk users bad, black market bad, btc full of scams negative spin>
No. Here's what you're trying to respond to: ...
Much of the problem is there are tons of people who think BTC= silk road. Why? Because that is what the media runs with. This casts a dark light on BTC, and people think that the only people who are into it or using it are only doing so for illegal activities. You can thank the media for that.
You can also thank bitcointalk users claiming black market is one of the reasons Bitcoin will succeed. You can also thank all of the scams (Bitconica, Pirateat40, WeEx, TraderFortress, NeoBee, etc., etc.). There's plenty of thanks to go 'round. Edit:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=828540.0;viewResultsTL;DR: The media agrees with the overwhelming majority of bitcointalk users. The mental degeneracy and moral turpitude of said users is neither here nor there. If I was ur middle school reading teacher, I would'a flunked u.

why should people leave America, how about the taxes leave America... Lolno, U! ~Your Reptilian Overlords |
|

... The question is, has the US dug itself in too deep? I think probably...
Have you considered exactly what US "defaulting" on its debts would bring about? Are you picturing debt collectors? China choosing not to trade with us any more? Taunting us on the interwebs perhaps? |

^Robert, "someone who owes the rest of the world 4.7 trillion USD" also has the power to print those self-same dollars, remember? You told me that yourself, or another smart feller just like u did. We don't "needs a loan of 40 billion every month," Robert. We're a producer country, a manufacturing powerhouse. We can print "40 billion every month" all by ourselves ...

"Gold bugs" are also thought to be a little crazy in all popular media etc. This notion I assume is spread as a cheap way to apply downward pressure to metals in order to hide real inflation rates.

America is a rich man, if countries were people. China is nothing more than a labor slave for cheaply made everything. China will never come looking for repayment on our debt to them. Why would they, why would anyone? You must be aware that America does in fact rule the economic policy of the world.
someone who owes the rest of the world 4.7 trillion USD is not a rich man, hes a debt slave. http://www.tradingeconomics.com/united-states/external-debtare you seriously asking why would anyone come collecting the money they are owed? America used to rule the economic policy of the world more than 30 years ago when it was the biggest creditor nation and the world owed it money for all the goods it exported to them. America today is a debt slave of China. You really don't understand how life works. If I owe you a billion dollars and I'm stronger than you? I got you by the balls, not the other way around   |
