During college, as a computer science major...there would be maybe 2 girls in the class of 30-50 guys. One asian and one ugly but with a boyfriend.

Hello, I am here from the future to tell you about the stabilization of the Bitcoin price.

Hold on now, if you're from the future who's the president?
5343  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: February 10, 2015, 05:46:47 PM
Since many of his posts were probably deleted for the page 10,000 deletes (maybe off on holidays?) he likely averages 20 posts per day, which is 10 war dollars per day.

Not a bad racket, it requires absolutely no mental ability whatsoever from the looks of it so hey...free money.

something something... Bitcoin was relevant. Cool

FTFY

well at least it acknowledges Bitcoin's relevance when you could hardly buy anything with Bitcoin

now that you can live on bitcoin it must be even more so

Once upon a time Bitcoin had unique use

This is some seriously bullishness coming from a troll. Acknowledging Bitcoin usefulness.

He has come so far.

Hi, I sell bitcoins online, for Dollars via Paypal. It is safe, I am reliable person as I'm newby in this bussines, so I need to gain reputation and earn money, advertising myself in different forums. Thank you for understanding, I make deal within 360 minutes. You can contact me any time you want, 24/7

Don't be surprised if you get burned.

Never sell bitcoins for a transaction that can be reversed. PayPal allows someone 180 days to reverse a transaction.

I deleted someone's off topic post in a self-moderated thread and he gives me a negative trust rating. Isn't that rating for people who exchange goods or something?
I pinged him to take a look at that feedback, let's see what he does

Looks to be gone. Thanks.

Another day, and delusional trolls still think that coming here every 5 seconds to try to convince us that Bitcoin is a waste of time is actually going to convince anyone with more than straw for brains  Cheesy

trolltards gonna troll

Wondering how many posts per day NotLambchop makes...as he is someone who claims Bitcoin is a waste of time.

has anyone ever counted? Should be pretty easy just to glance at his posting history and come up with an approximate daily average

Assuming posting 7 days a week, every day of the year...19 posts per day.

And not a single one of them in any way useful to anyone.

Your activity is 420.

That is all I want to add.
5351  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: More than 20,000 households getting their salary in bitcoin on: February 10, 2015, 04:16:29 PM
Do you think we will reach 20k households getting paid in bitcoin? What is stopping you from trying it out with something small like 5% of your salary?

I think any number is possible, but it's hard to predict. The main problem is not unwillingness of Bitcoiners to receive Bitcoin as salary, it's unwillingness of companies to even consider other payment options than fiat.

It'll take quite some time to convince businesses to provide Bitcoin as payment option. Of course it's easiest when you're working in the IT industry. But it's a lot harder if you work for traditional companies. You might even risk your standing by just mentioning Bitcoin.

ya.ya.yo!

Do you work in the US and get direct deposit?

No.

I know you can use bitwage as an intermediary in the US. But I think it's not a fundamental improvement, because companies still just pay fiat which gets converted. So it's essentially the same as if I take my fiat salary and buy Bitcoin.

What we need for real progress are Bitcoin-only economic loops, without what you call "cheating" (fiat conversion).

ya.ya.yo!

Ya, I think it will start out as an option for a percentage of paychecks. The way bitwage does it is through the payroll companies so it is simpler for the companies to provide that option.

Do you ever use Amazon? Do you like losing money that you could be saving by using purse.io?

Purse takes forever, there's a market buffer, and no guarantee service will last forever. I prefer gyft with the 3% discount.

Gyft is good too. 3% or 30%...other people are losing money using their war money for those services instead of bitcoin.
5353  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: More than 20,000 households getting their salary in bitcoin on: February 10, 2015, 04:08:40 PM
the taxes still would have to be paid in dollars by both parts.

And it might cause many judicial disputes about the value received and whether BTC is valid payment.

It is not that simple

It is simple, it is how I am paid. Taxes are taken out before my paycheck is sent to me. No judicial disputes, I get paid my usual pay...just in bitcoins.

This is already happening.

5355  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: More than 20,000 households getting their salary in bitcoin on: February 10, 2015, 03:50:25 PM
But how do they calculate how much BTC do they need to pay? they directly convert it from how many dollar/eur that salary would normally be?
What if dollar/eur didnt exsist? we will always dependant of fiat to make this equivalence?

So if war money did not exist and all we had were bitcoins....how do you think they would calculate pay?

 Shocked

This thread is also a good demonstration of the fact that people only read headlines and ignore every post in the thread before posting something in that thread.

Once we reach 20k households getting paid in bitcoin I believe at that point we will have reached mass adoption.

Can you kindly explain why you think 20k is considered mass adoption according to you?

I think any industry with a billion in revenue per year is something the market will respond to and service. The price would need to rise 6 times to accommodate the demand.

Don't you think the money that's flowing into Bitcoin as you say will also flow out of Bitcoin at some point?

There have to be plenty of places, and I mean places where we can buy daily needs with Bitcoin. Which isn't the case at this point.

What's the point of accepting Bitcoin as salary when you will exchange them for fiat anyway.

It's nice to buy domains, servers, phones, etc. But we need super markets, gas stations and what not to accept Bitcoin in order to keep as much money IN Bitcoin.

Yes, most merchants do tend to convert immediately to war money but unless you immediately spend all of your money, you will probably take the length of your pay period to spend the money which means that on average you are holding bitcoins for half of the pay period. Over the course of the year you have held bitcoins for half a year on average. This still equals have a billion in bitcoins every year. That more than covers mining costs.

Which means more adoption, more people paid in bitcoins and more spending. No matter if merchants keep it in bitcoins or not, that steady stream incoming will make up for any conversion by the merchants.

Only about 1/6th of all bitcoins is traded on the exchanges. So those 20,000 would be sucking out over 220 bitcoins each (at current prices) while only 110 bitcoins per household would be available on the exchange. Accounting for only holding half of the time means that those 20k households would be buying every bitcoin on the exchange at current volume and current prices. That's not counting other investors.
5359  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If Bitcoin took over.... on: February 10, 2015, 02:07:25 PM
If Bitcoin took over, the Fed could print an $18 trillion bill and pay off the debt and none of us would be affected (except those that have treasury bonds in war money). The economy would continue in bitcoins without a huge war money debt hanging over our heads.

Countries would not be able to print money to go to war, they would have to spend only what they have so the wars would turn into small skirmishes.

Curious...why do you still have a land line?

I want to ditch it, all i need is the internet, what set up do i need?   or you mean just unplug the phone?

Ahh, so you use the phone line for Internet?

I'm just saying, most people just use their cell phone as the main line. You could just unplug it.
