481  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will Bitcoin be surpassed by Ethereum??? on: May 22, 2016, 06:19:11 AM
I consider that it would surpass it if it has more users than it or if it has a bigger price. That's indeed not the case. The price could be a past problem for a few hours when the mining will stop and the income of new coins will be a lot lower, but the userbase will never be surpassed, except in the case of The DAO attracting the mass-media attention.

Why wouldn't they use an existing blockhain ? They could buy some XMR or LTC, and make a lot of profits because the value would skyrocket. They should put they efforts in building a platform around of thoses crypto-currencies.
483  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2016-05-21] Bitcoin Miners Follow Profit to Ethereum Blockchain on: May 22, 2016, 06:13:50 AM
I wonder how long it will take before everything starts to come down to more realistic prices. At this point the hype around Ethereum is too big and it shows as the price is insanely high with so many circulating coins. I don't think that Bitcoin miners will invest too much in extra hardware to go big into mining Ethereum as they also know that the price will start tanking significantly once everything is cooling down. They see it as a welcome extra bit of income.

Price of Ethereum might not be flawed. Some papers are valued 100$ in the USA. Why something reliying o,n a strong technology couldn't be worth a little 14$ ?

First : laptops are big crap.

Second : he should have used a wallet like Electrum and engrave the passphrase somewhere, like under his table or something like that.

Chargebacks are something really good. They make you being aware, and don't make you think that you live in a paradise world. If you're dumb enough to send your coins to a pure scam, you don't merit them.
486  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: what site you created your first wallet? on: May 22, 2016, 06:05:11 AM
I've never used any web wallet. I don't consider them as safe. However, I used many wallets, and I finally decided to use Electrum.

Edit : If YoBit can be considered as a web-wallet, that's my first and sole.
487  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Monero ICO on: May 22, 2016, 06:03:36 AM
Why would they do so ? Especially for a coin which is already launched. If they do so, they would really be at the bottom.
488  Other / Meta / Re: Why doesn't Bitcointalk support 2FA? on: May 22, 2016, 05:59:59 AM
If that's mandatory, I don't think I would come back. I never got hacked, because my password is strong enough. That would a real pain for me.
489  Other / Meta / Re: Extreme RACIST not banned ??? on: May 22, 2016, 05:54:33 AM
He can say what he want. If you start to censor everything which is not leftist, we're back in the Soviet Union. Is that what you want ?
490  Other / Politics & Society / Re: [POLL] Who would you vote for in the American Presidential Election in 2016? on: May 22, 2016, 05:47:22 AM
I dislike both of them, so I wouldn't vote for any. That's sad that the two really interesting candidates are out of the games.
491  Economy / Economics / Re: Why the banks dont give free money? Why they loan it? on: May 22, 2016, 05:45:33 AM
I think loan is a scam. An economy needs, only, free funding and a tax system and nothing else. Do you agree?
What are you trying to say? Loan is not a scam its a chance that you can use your money that not yours but you can use it in emergency or daily need so why do you think it is scam? And why the banks dont give money ? Ifthey give money how they earn. They working for money to earn money not to give money to others.

It's a scam in the sense that they give you money that you won't be able to give back and make you spend it. That's the way the 2008 crisis happened.
492  Economy / Economics / Re: android bitcoin apps on: May 22, 2016, 05:44:00 AM
You can try Game of Birds if it exists on Android. It's a funny game where you play for some satoshis. I remember that it was something like 10 000 per won round. It's hard thought, sometimes.
493  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or Gold? What would you pick? on: May 22, 2016, 05:42:07 AM
I largely prefer Bitcoin, because gold is only meant to store value. The day you'll want to buy a new car with it, good luck !
494  Economy / Economics / Re: If Bitcoin had a stable price, would it still be as popular? on: May 22, 2016, 05:40:51 AM
I already see the price of Bitcoin as stable. It's surely even more stable that the national currency of some countries.
495  Economy / Economics / Re: Why the banks dont give free money? Why they loan it? on: May 22, 2016, 05:39:20 AM
If they give free money, no one else will work, and so the whole system collapse. Next utopic economical idea please !
496  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who is doing something on Bitcoin Pizza Day? May 22nd, 2016 on: May 22, 2016, 05:37:50 AM
I'll surely try to it pizza today, in memory of the good old time when Bitcoin was so cheap. I'll enjoy my pizza, but when I'll think that I could get in a lot earlier, I'll end sad, like everytime Cheesy !
497  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [POLL] Do you prefer your money to be in cash or bitcoins? on: May 22, 2016, 05:36:23 AM
To that point, we've reached a cap of relative stability. Even before that, that's obviosuly Bitcoin for me, or I wouldn't be here.
498  Economy / Economics / Re: Why not just print dollars? on: May 22, 2016, 05:34:52 AM
Grin the good point of bitcoin ... is that you can print paper money if you want : https://www.bitaddress.org

and, it's real value !  Cheesy


You're right that bitcoin can't be printed when more is needed.

You're wrong that bitcoin has real value. The value is perceived because all of us place value upon it...just as we do fiat currency.

There is no tangible thing that supports the value of bitcoin, that can prove there is value to it.

There's no Gold, no Silver, no other tangible item that exists in the world...just the promise that only so much bitcoin can every be mined and that the validity of transactions and balances are verified by the community that uses it.

That's not us who set the price of fiat, instead of Bitcoin. It's some regulations agency that do not care of the people and some very heavy traders.
499  Economy / Speculation / Re: if paypal will close on: May 22, 2016, 05:32:42 AM
If they close, that would be a great shock, and a lot of positive advertisement such as "Bitcoin will never close" could me made en-masse.
500  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which Investment Type do you Prefer??? on: May 22, 2016, 05:29:19 AM
If I have good amount of money then I would surely invest  my some money in gambling as I know its risky but if it clicks then it can make me rich very soon, if you play with high amount you can also win higher amount.

Gambling is something good too. Some matchs are really easy to predict, like tonight's one. That's free money with near no-limit.

Seriously? I take it you would be willing to sell your house and everything else you own and use the money for the bet? I myself would sell my house without so much as a thought if I knew the outcome of a match with 100% certainty. There is no such thing as a sure bet no matter the odds.

Some matchs like PSG-Troyes in the final of the Coupe de la Lige is an outcome sure at 100%. For this kind of matchs, you can sell your car and buy a better one later.
