its not real, people are just looking to get your attention for views and in the end money, that stuff is a lie
It exists. We are using only a small part of our brains and there were people with supernatural powers, like mind readers, who after examination were found to be using more of their gray matter than a typical human. If we were able to awake that sleeping part of our brain we could most likely gain some additional skills like photographic memory and telepathy. Who knows, maybe even telekinesis.

The best time to invest is now. Take the chance of price of bitcoin and if you don't invest right now you'll miss the chance of earning good profit in the future. As long as bitcoin is still not hitting the ATH, still everyday will always be the best time to invest.
Totally right, that's just a bounce by the bitcoin chart. Give a lot of the opportunity for the rich person to buy more cheap bitcoin and especially for the Chinese traders. A lot of noobs have lost it.
To invest in the right time. Might the bitcoin go to the bottom chart again like yesterday? and let's see.
Why did you decide that now is the time to invest in bitcoin? How do you know that the price of bitcoin falls even lower? Investing in bitcoin in General is very risky. Not very stable currency always drives away investors.
I agree with your last statement, but Bitcoin is not a typical currency. It's more of a means of payment, an asset.
Investing in Bitcoin is a great idea and I'll tell you why. Bitcoin has been around for almost 10 years now and it has never been a bad investment. If you bought it at any point you've earned money on it, because it always gained value. I'm a simple man, when something brings me profit over and over, I tend to treat it as a good investment

These protests wasn't big and can't be compared with protest in 2011 for example. Now only 60k people in 82 cities participated in these protests. Main organizer of protests - Alexey Navalnyj was arrested for 15 days. Few weeks ago he released documentary movie about corruption of Russian Prime Minister D. Medvedev:

You have a different opinion, you get arrested. How typical of fake democracy. In some countries only the people change but the system and corruption remain the same.
The Prime Minister and former President is Putin's puppet. Putin needed a break in his presidency, so he gave power to Medvedev for one term and took it back soon after, giving Medvedev a position in the parliament in exchange.

Ignorant or plain stupid? Maybe both. Did you come here to complain or just show the whole world that you're now butthurt about Bitcoin not sending your money as fast and as cheap as you'd like it to?
Go back to fiat, it will be just as you want it to and you will still have no idea how it works.
5045  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Are the U.S. and Russia / Eastern Europe still enemies? on: March 27, 2017, 09:50:09 PM
I wouldn't call them enemies. I don't think they were ever enemies.. Just rivals. Like any emerging economy will be a rival to the US.


Many Eastern European countries were the enemies of Russia. Don't put them all in one basket! The Soviets used many of them as military bases and supply centers for their vast army and had agents and puppet governments that allowed them to influence the life of citizens and keep the countries in poverty. To give you an example Poland was occupied by Russia in the 18th century and later, after it gained independence, it was attacked and destroyed by Russians and Germans in 1939. Russians later claimed to have liberated the country from the Germans, but it was the Russians that served the country to the Germans on a silver platter in the first place. Look at what is being said in Ukraine about Russia, not much love towards them outside of the Crimea.

I read most of it. The author seems to think that POS coins are better than Bitcoin because people don't need hardware and can make money in their wallets. According to him it makes the thing less centralized.
The fact that you don't need hardware to mine POS coins doesn't make it better! You still need an investment, because you need to get some coins to make more, right? Those coins have to be bought with fiat or another cryptocurrency, so you're investing money in the process of mining, and it really doesn't matter if you put $100k into a mining farm or buy coins because whoever has the most money will end up with the most coins.

Well investing in gambling is already profittable even before bitcoin and i agree that with ntc's emergence, the gambling industry just got a bigger boost to its market. Evrryone can earn a lot but we have to also do our part in researchung which site is safe to invest on.
Being a profit share holder with a gambling house must be an oldest way of making earning as many casinos are following this practice but through bitcoin payment system again gambling industry is finding another refreshing growth just to entertain us in more possible ways.

Even investing with a gambling house is not a gambling activity, it is being accepted by
 many gamblers as a way of earning method just to recover their earlier losses.
Haha nope, selling yourself is actually the oldest way of making money. Just saying Wink
Investing in a casino is not gambling if the casino is bound to make a profit. Have you ever thought that it can lose money or even go bankrupt? If the profit is uncertain and you can lose money it's gambling like any other, at least to me.

I have the same one as well, but I haven't added anything new, so I'm not asking for any reward. I also have no new ideas, but it's in the attorney's best interest not to look for evidence and let people forget about the case. If someone made a breakthrough that proved Met's innocence it would be a major career ending event. Even if he is guilty we can see that people used their feelings to judge him, instead of hard evidence.
5049  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Impact of drinking alcohol. on: March 27, 2017, 08:06:43 PM

it will have a negative impact when you're older enough that your liver needs to be replaced. liver cost millions and there are millions of people dead due to liver failure. if its okay to you that your liver wil be replaced by dog's liver then continue drinking. its your choice.
Here it does not turn out to replace his liver, on a similar one with a dog. The organs do not fit, as far as I know. Pig is more suitable for transplant. Only such an operation is also expensive. Cheaper to be healthy.

Yes. Cheaper to be healthy and rejoice without alcohol. In addition, the new liver may not settle down. Use in moderate doses on holidays and you can be great at saving money.
Or make your own. I've been making my own wine and liqueur and it comes out much better and cheaper than what I used to buy in stores. Last year I made sake and it also came out great. Life would be dull without alcohol.

It's a good moment to invest because we're in a short period of uncertainty. Bitcoin has been slowly growing for many years and once a while it slows down to gain momentum for another pump. This might be it, especially if it goes down below $750, which would be a golden opportunity to get more. I'm fairly certain we are about to get a new ATH by 2018, the only question is how much will you gain from it, because it might continue up from this little dip to $800s or test $750 and launch from that.
5052  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: RIP Bitcoin, better luck next time on: March 26, 2017, 08:28:47 PM
lol,
what it has to with that those 2 countries ?
None of these countries can control bitcoin and i know they want to take bitcoin down or access it's tx info but it's impossible.


I agree with you but in as much as they can't centralize and control Bitcoin we shouldn't be caught complacent of their actions but rather monitor them and resist everything that they try to set to have Bitcoin under their control.
They very much can centralise and control Bitcoin.  As the whitepaper says:
Quote
If a majority of CPU power is controlled by honest nodes, the honest chain will grow the
fastest and outpace any competing chains. To modify a past block, an attacker would have to
redo the proof-of-work of the block and all blocks after it and then catch up with and surpass the
work of the honest nodes.
So, a collection of dishonest nodes would be more than capable of messing with Bitcoin if they collaborated - with the growing monopolies of allied forces working on BU they could easily carry out a 51% attack and if only a few people owned as much Bitcoin as everyone else it would be even more centralised than fiat currency from the start, which unfortunately is part of the problem with a currency that deflates so quickly.
How can a few people owning as much as everyone else can make it more centralised than fiat? Bitcoins you own don't give you any power over the rest of them.
Fiat is centralised because the government of a country that issues it can decide to change its value whenever they like. They can print new bills, destroy old ones and even take your own bills from your bank account, like they did in Cyprus. You can't do it with Bitcoins.
5053  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can the price of bitcoin still skyrocket on: March 21, 2017, 09:55:43 PM
Once this new episode of Bitcoin unlimited is over there will be new rise in Bitcoin's market. There are many things been cleared that new so called Bitcoin Unlimited will be treated as altcoin and reality and facts tell that it can be replace real Bitcoin. Stay tuned to see new skyrocket in value of current bitcoin.
And what if it's not over? BU can actually take over and we'll have a migration of current users to the new client. I don't expect it to happen soon, but we have to consider the possibility.
Wouldn't that mean the split of investors between the two fraction and ultimately the drop in price of both of them until the process is complete?
5054  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Planned or impulsive gambling? on: March 21, 2017, 09:51:42 PM
I prefer planned gambling. Being impulsive tends to catch me off guard i.e. unprepared to face the sudden wins or losses, unsure how much to bet and what my "waste cash" is at the moment.
I have played with friends a lot and walking into a casino drunk for "a quick one" always ended bad. I expect it might be similar with online gambling.
5055  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: @RogerVer lets make a deal. At least 60k, my BTU for your BTC. on: March 21, 2017, 09:36:20 PM
So the topic is still there? Any response from Roger?
I wonder who gives up. If Mr. Ver doesn't take it, the topic will give him some bad publicity. (coward not supporting his own project?)
Anyway If I had an option to choose the same cash prize in BU and BTC I'd choose BTC in an instant. BU still has a long way to go.
5056  Other / Politics & Society / Re: MGTOW's among bitcointalkers on: March 21, 2017, 09:24:54 PM
OP, I'd like to ask how has this helped you in any way? I get that you might feel insecure and vulnerable in a relationship and want to change it, but how building a wall around yourself can help in any way?
Being in defensive from the start is not the way to start a healthy relationship.

There are lot of bitcointalkers like these. Especially the young ones, earning bitcoin is their motivation and girls are not really their thing, they are not nerds but they are weird. Friends that I know using bitcoin, have girlfriends of their own. Saying these, this type of person is more likely the true lovers when they find the right girl, and I am envious with these kind of people because they prioritize their own selves than love, it is quite the opposite to me, and I think it is taking the toll on me.
Being an egoist is really nothing to envy. If your girl's needs are more important to you, you are good the way you are, you just need her to appreciate it. Don't try to change yourself to adapt to society!

Based on your post I can see you're completely new, so I'd recommend watching some yt videos that explain the process of mining.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmOzih6I1zs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7opj5-32hw
These are quite old, but the process is still the same, you just need a newer, better hardware.
5058  Other / Politics & Society / Re: MGTOW's among bitcointalkers on: March 21, 2017, 07:52:05 PM
I've been in a relationship for too long to have anything in common with this movement, but I can understand if some guys feel more independent by choosing not to get involved in a relationship.
I know a number of broken marriages and both sides often end up broken and deeply scarred for life. They have trouble forming another relationship because they are afraid of giving too much to another person.
A true relationship is based on trust and giving it all, believing that the other person will also give it all and never stab you in the back.
5059  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BU an actual threat? on: March 21, 2017, 07:16:34 PM
It looks like BU is going to happen no matter what. Exchanges already allow traders to buy BU for more than $200, is pretty cheap than BTC itself. There's considerable amount of volume particularly on bitfinex, its going to be more than what its price later as I can see.

I don't think its a threat to BTC though, its going to be like ETH and ETC.
This is a speculative that is basically allowing people to bet on the BU by investing money in it. Ver and all the BU supporters will have a lot of money invested and are hoping to multiply their fortunes with this move.
Is it a threat? I think it is, because we don't know if it can handle the traffic and security as our old core did. What if it doesn't and makes Bitcoin more unreliable and prone to hacks?
5060  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Radioactive Iodine-131 detected over large areas in Europe. on: March 21, 2017, 06:56:34 PM
I think the artic cold descended over Europe in the early winter this year so the winds were actually north winds.  Chernobyl incident occured in April when the south winds would become more prominent.  I'm not a meteorologist however.
 There's a facility in north-western Russia used to decomission and store old nuclear reactors... Maybe they took one on for decommisioning  that was still critical?

From that question alone one can guess you know nothing, absolutely nothing about the technology. You even know about Fukushima?

Whoever did this does not want to admit it,perhaps it is still the easiest to blame the Russians nuclear testing, I even saw the information that is to blame one of their nuclear submarine which had a slight accident.

This always blaming the russians for everything seems to wear out.
This blaming came from somewhere, you know.
Have you ever heard of the Russian nuclear powered bomber project? While the USA were struggling to launch their own nuclear engine, because they knew it's going to pose a threat to the crew, as shielding would be so heavy they'd have to reduce the load. There were also issues with fumes and separation of radioactive coolant. Russians had no such problems. Their plane crew flew without any shielding (and died) and nobody cared about the separation of radioactive fumes. They sprinkled some radiation all over the Siberia, nobody lives there anyway (at least nobody they would be worried about)...
