503  Local / Skandinavisk / Re: [ANNOUNCE] BitcoinNordic: Buy Bitcoins with Scandinavian credit cards on: March 19, 2013, 09:19:03 AM
See the very first line of the original post.
The thread is sending really mixed messages, though. First theres the title of the thread which says "Buy Bitcoins with Scandinavian credit cards", then theres a small line in the message saying you can't buy using card anymore, a large logo saying Instant bitcoins by credit card and another line saying you can't buy using card anymore.

This is not really a very good way to convey a message.

Nokså generisk innhold, bortsett fra at de har snakket med Kripos som sier at "dette er noe som må tas på alvor".

Det er stort sett samme priser over hele landet i Norge. http://www.nordpoolspot.com/Market-data1/Elspot/Area-Prices/ALL1/Hourly/

Det eneste som kanskje kunne vært et alternativ er hvis du har en bekk i nærheten du kan lage ditt eget vannkraftverk av. Det er drittdyrt hvis du skulle hatt godkjenninger og koblet til nettverket for å selge den, men hvis du kan bruke den selv kunne det muligens blitt billig.

Aner ikke hvordan det er på Svalbard.

In the OTC I remember there being people who sold for -5%+.  Undecided
The ones I've seen being sold below mtgox turned out to be stolen cc numbers.
507  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why bitcoin isn't going to make it: The National Security Agency on: February 18, 2013, 10:46:32 AM
It is pretty safe to assume that NSA has some really smart people working for them, and that they may very well know more than the public about the strengths and weaknesses of these algorithms. For instance they and IBM created the DES standard in a very specific way in the seventies, and it was only in the late eighties that it was discovered publicly that this was to make it more resistant to differential cryptanalysis.

TA doesnt work a certain percentage of time.

So does flipping a coin.

It's not very clear what kind of trade you want to do, though? Do you have MB money which you want to trade to get BTC? Who gets the 10% discount?

Or so it would be, if the system was static and we didn't know about the velocity of money concept.
Fantastic! Then here's how to get infinite wealth. 1. Buy tons of bitcoins, pushing the price and thus the value of the coins up. 2. Trade them for something you can sell for fiat. 3. Sell the goods for fiat. 4. Go to 1.
511  Economy / Speculation / Re: Could the market cap be intentionally raised by a single party? on: February 07, 2013, 07:46:08 PM
BTC doesn't lose it's value if you spend it for something, even if at some later point in the chain it converts back to fiat, because if there's something out there that you can spend BTC on, that BCT will be re-purchased to be used for that purpose. It's a funny little concept called money.
Actually, this is all a "funny little concept" called trading. It's irrelevant whether you spend the bitcoins on fiat currency or goods. You will be flooding the market with BTC, and that will push the value down. It won't be easier to find someone who will trade for the full value in goods than in fiat, so instead of getting less fiat you will get less goods. It would have exactly the same effect as printing fiat and spending them on goods.
512  Economy / Speculation / Re: Could the market cap be intentionally raised by a single party? on: February 07, 2013, 12:25:08 PM
Hmmm... the coins ARE money  Grin

Just don't sell them, like you don't sell gold.
What's the point of having money which lose their value if you try to spend them?
513  Economy / Speculation / Re: Could the market cap be intentionally raised by a single party? on: February 05, 2013, 10:10:21 AM
Say you were a government or major corporation that wanted to carry out a multi-billion dollar transaction in bitcoin.  Would it be possible to raise the market cap up to where it needs to be for you to do it?

Sure, but it would be stupid if you intend to get out afterwards. People are not going to buy the coins back at the same price as they sold them, so you would lose money.

Money in offshore tax havens is somewhat difficult to deposit, and doesn't need to move very often, yet it still provides a very useful service. Bitcoin's "offshore tax heaven" status simply can't be beat, so at the least that will still continue.
The hard part is obtaining them and making sure they can't be traced back to something illegal when you want to use them. The depositing bit is pretty easy. Buying Bitcoins doesn't really make the hard part easier.

Could you elaborate?
It was a reply to Gabi's reply to me. He didn't quote, so I didn't bother to do it either.
516  Bitcoin / Press / Re: 2013-1-28 -- Forbes: Government Ban On Bitcoin Would Fail Miserably on: January 29, 2013, 03:30:44 PM
Exactly. When people express concern about the "government banning Bitcoin" issue, they invariably fail to think about governments that WON'T ban it, i.e. China.
Why would you think China won't do it? It's already illegal to use virtual currencies to buy physical goods in China. http://www.informationweek.com/internet/ebusiness/china-limits-use-of-virtual-currency/218101859

Unfortunately that's just wishful thinking, which there is a lot of here. It makes it easy to find safe bets on the Bitcoin betting sites, though.
518  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is DEEPLY WATCHED. on: January 29, 2013, 02:02:12 PM
Comparing it to the alcolhol prohibition like Matonis does, doesn't make sense because it's not like Bitcoins are the only money available. The only advantage of Bitcoins to normal people is that in some cases it is more convenient and cheaper than using banks. That advantage can easily be taken away by banning money transfers to entities who buy or sell Bitcoins. Banks would probably be very happy to comply and report anyone they suspect of doing it. If the only way to buy and sell them is through Localbitcoin and similar sites, the barrier to entry will be too high for most people.
519  Economy / Digital goods / [WTS] 60 Day World of Warcraft Game Card EU (European version) 2 BTC on: January 19, 2013, 10:39:14 AM
I currently have 2, and I will sell them at 2 BTC each, price valid as long as the BTC stays above $15. If you want to speed up the process you can send 2.000<bitcoin forum user id> coins to 1KJrZ1smjTfjxqCkJsLGneL3PqGtv1Jawd and PM me where you want to recieve the code (email or PM). Feel free to zero pad if your ID has less than 5 digits.

You paid int BTC it was converted into USD.

That's been explained in great detail on the first page of this thread.
