I would add that it is also safer. Paying with a credit card or check requires handing over information about your account. Often all the information needed to access your money. With bitcoin I can pay without divulging anything that gives any access to additional money. Even if my account is hacked, the attacker can see my purchases but can't spend.
Well, that's arguable I think. If you're 100% sure computer wise then bitcoin is safe as long as you don't make any big mistakes like losing your wallet or sending to the wrong address, but these things seem to happen to a lot of people right now. With credit cards if someone uses your card fraudulently they company will refund the money as long as you sign some papers. I had my credit card number stolen before and it wasn't an issue getting it cleared up. But of course you're paying for this safety through fees and interest. I'm certainly not saying credit cards are better than bitcoin but at this point it's not necessarily clear that bitcoin is safer for the average person. I see your point about messing up and sending to the wrong address or something. But in the last few months I have had to replace my debit card due to the Target security breach. During this same period I gave my Overstock.com account info to some friends and asked them to try stealing from me. They found no money or card info to steal. I didn't have to pay for a new card directly, but MasterCard is a business and MUST make a profit off me. They will get that money via fees and such. If done correctly, bitcoin is fundamentally more secure as a system. |

So shitty alt-coins are a tool to separate fools from their money? Yes, we know that. Nothing to do with bitcoin then.

Hi and welcome. Plenty of people here rant all day, now with you we can rant and rave.  |

Every time the price moves a few bucks there always has to be a huge secret plot. Why not just think supply is getting ahead of demand?

So much misunderstanding about what the foundation is and does.

From what I've heard, llama can breed with alpaca, myth?
Hmm. I don't know? I thought I read once that syphilis was a disease of llamas. So maybe I could breed with one. |

The Nazca lines are another example of Daniken's misunderstanding. They were first seen in the 1500's by Spanish explorers and were well known by the time he flew over them. In his book he claims that these can only be viewed from above. That is utterly incorrect. All of them have an associated viewing hill. It has also been discovered that many/all of the long straight lines lead to important locations, such as water sources. They are just lines that you could make with a few friends. So what is his reason for thinking they are alien? Because when he sees the figure below he sees an astronaut. Holding a spear?   |

Since it's all delusional BS you don't have to be very picky.  And Von Daniken was shredded decades ago. His "facts" are illiterate interpretations of well know historic art. He will look at a painting that includes a depiction of a comet and say it's a spaceship. Even though it is a well known method of drawing comets. He'll view a Mayan Steele of the celestial tree and see a spaceship. Even though any Mayan or Mayan scholar would recognize it's real meaning. Basically, anything he is ignorant about is a spaceship. |

Wouldn't make more sense for you to just buy an epic $50K vacation and forget about him? You know, move on and enjoy life rather than dwelling on past problems.

A few minutes after the nukes go off? That would be a good time to cash out for canned goods and ammunition.

Goat, did you black out while drinking again? Last time you woke up in a shopping cart. At least this is an upgrade. |

I dumped apple because of bitcoin. Now I like my Android. I think the days of the iPhone being years ahead of the competition are over. My cheap droid basically does the same job for less.

Nice. Apple has yet to publish a list of which virtual currencies it considers to be "approved". Well What do you think?? Which one they will allow? Bitcoin for sure. Litecoin perhaps. Dogecoin? How far will Apple go? My guess would be bitcoin and applecoin.  |

But it is clear that the Ukrainian authorities had earlier used a helicopter painted as UN, to bomb the residential areas of Donbass. The pictures of the helicopter were widely circulated in the social media.  If that turns out to be true it will be a big deal. That is a clear violation of international law. If it just turns out that the rebels shot down a random UN heli, that would also be a violation. It's getting confused over there. A sure sign that the war is beginning. In a few years it will all be tears and regret on both sides. |
