I think we are going to see more of this as people discover that the real strength of bitcoin is as a payment network, not as an investment.

No problem, your ex-wife's attorney will also take a check.  Grin

These guys who get mad about being fleeced in a divorce seem to be forgetting that they signed a contract. If you agree to a shitty contract then you are to blame, not the counter-party.

Bitcoin was not designed as an investment. It is a currency and the direction your are worried about is exactly what bitcoin is supposed to do.

Maybe China is triple banning bitcoin!!!  Shocked

I have never in my entire life met a scientifically literate person who does not understand that the climate has changed. IMO, climate denial is now in the total crackpot category along with flat Earth believers, bigfoot experts and other child-like beliefs.  You must be willfully ignorant at this point.

The scariest thing about this change is that there is absolutely no reason to believe it will stop before killing off most/all life on Earth.

Not surprised by this, after all the entire country is comprised of cowards. 

They Won't fight, they drop their weapons and shed their uniforms when confronted but yet they are brave enough to stone women to death.

Cowards.
And yet they won the war.  Huh
The scariest fighters I have come across hide and bide their time. They only fight when it's in their interest and the odds are good. That is how you fight asymmetrically. They simply know more about this than you do. 
5167  Other / Off-topic / Re: $16,264.50 ......I'm a fucking idiot on: June 12, 2014, 01:46:52 PM
You're not an idiot bud, this is all new for everyone. However anyone who reads this and then "invests" in an alt coin is. Most alt coins are created specifically to get your money into the pockets of their creators. So it sounds like your money went to a successful project.

My advice is that until you completely understand bitcoin, do not get sidetracked into alts. And once you understand bitcoin you won't want them anyway.

No matter how bad it seems, time heals all. In a year you may see her at the mall and say to yourself "Whew, I really dodged a bullet with her".
5169  Economy / Services / Re: Need someone to purchase me 1500$ computer! Pay in Bitcoin + 100$ for help on: June 11, 2014, 07:56:39 PM
Why in the world would you purchase a computer from Dell?  It's so easy to build your own PC (it's not even funny).

Tiger Direct accepts BTC so go figure out what you want and order it.  There are plenty of videos on youtube to help.
+1
Tiger Direct is a way better source. Even if you are buying a built computer it will be better than Dell. And you won't need any help, you can just buy it and have it shipped for bitcoin.

If someone is scared of this then don't join in. We really don't need institutional investors anyway. Especially those who don't understand what a microscopic risk this is. 
5172  Other / Off-topic / Re: I'm not prepared for a disaster, are you? on: June 11, 2014, 07:19:01 PM
I am not prepared to live in an austere environment for long. Even though I have taught survival for about 20 years, I know that life in a disaster is so hard and so dangerous that my chances are slim. Survival means getting out of the disaster.
The emergency preparedness work I do currently focuses on massive disasters like pandemic flu or nuclear detonation. If I get deployed, it's bad.

Here I am:

5173  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: BUY BTC with PayPal on: June 11, 2014, 05:23:30 PM
Do some searching first. You may well lose your PayPal money and your BTC. It happens every day here. I highly recommend not mixing PayPal and bitcoin. At least until they announce that they accept bitcoin. If there is a problem and you dispute a fraudulent buy, it it very unlikely that PayPal will help in any way.

I can see the rate, but I can't add it to a portfolio.  Huh

A pistol shot in the belly is a good way to tech men not to rape.  Kiss
Would that shot be before during or after the karate takedown?


He he. I would go belly shot, handcuffs, karate takedown. Much easier that way.

5177  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Iraq's second largest city, Mosul, captured by Islamic State of Iraq and Syria on: June 10, 2014, 07:47:52 PM
Well we broke Iraq into pieces then got mad and went home with our toys. What did we think would happen? This did not even happen in Iraq. This is Kurdistan. You may not know of Kurdistan if you live in the U.S. We like pretending it's still part of Iraq. but they have their own flag, money, government, etc. That split with Baghdad has made it easier to take Mosul.
Now ISIS (formerly part of Al Qaeda but deemed to radical) has control of vast areas near Al-Falluja. This is going to take many years to play out.
5178  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if someday Bitcoin Foundation votes to remove 21M limitation? on: June 10, 2014, 07:37:35 PM
It seems to keep getting lost in this thread. But this is never going to happen and the bitcoin foundation has zero ability to change the protocol. That's all.
5179  Economy / Economics / Re: Economist: U.S. Banks Preparing to Charge Customers For Deposits on: June 10, 2014, 07:29:56 PM
Banks are a business, we all have to know it even though they tend to be demonized.
What really bothers me is that nowadays you need to use their services.
No one should be obliged to have a bank account to receive their salary. I'm not sure what a proper alternative would be, but they're basically forcing everyone to put your money in a third party company. Not cool.
That is what bothers me also. I don't care if they are trying to make a buck, but I should not be coerced into participating in such a scheme.
