very positive view from FinCEN guys.
They will regulate the institutions.... Not against bitcoins
Jennifer was very eloquent. I think they are all in for virtual currencies. They just want to prevent criminal use. That's GREAT NEWS!!! See, there's one thing I (grudgingly) have to pay respect for to the US: not matter what fascist foreign policy acting out, dysfunctional electorate system based upon, puppet-president led Koch-Brothers' dick sucking political elite led clown show they put up all year, when push comes to shove, they do know when not to miss out on a great business opportunity. Someone's gotta pay for all those burgers and burger-related heart surgery, after all. what an educated post. you are right ! |

Haste keinen Friseur, dem du das verzapfen kannst?
das ist ja das problem: die bitcoin erleuchtung haben und keinen, mit dem man drüber reden kann. angefixt werden auf btc is ne heftige emotionale sache. bei mir war das um ostern herum. |

$1000-Party am Wochenende?
In Ermangelung einer längeren Vorplanungszeit müssen wir die $1000-Party an der Dönerbude am Eck abhalten, sorry, Leute  Klasse ja ! Sieht wohl so aus. Oder bei McDonalds neben der Autobahn. Damit alle schnell aus ganz Deutschland an- und abreisen können. lieber klaus, du fehlst auf unserer reservierungs liste ... lust auf party ?  |

Are you going somewhere with these arguments? What is the point?
I guess the point is that the price of 600 is simply unsustainable for Bitcoin, and not a lot of people understand this. Or, 600 is sustainable as long as you have 2 million dollars daily of new investments in Bitcoin. man, you guys sound like experts in the 90ies figuring out that mobile phones will never take off since they use to much energy.  |

Dude electricity is irrelevant.
Dude, electricity is relevant. It's the limiting factor once you have mining hardware in your hands. mining hardware puts out lot´s of coins, tons of dollars and about 1% cost for electricity. completely irrelevant. i know a miner who made 300 000 400 000 dollars (shit the price rises faster then i can type) with his miners. he sold them after 6 weeks. electricity cost ? |

NASA could install Bitcoin on Mars rover if they wanted and send few Bitcoins ther so it becomes first interplanetary "currency"
fuck, they should just send some of the fbi sr stash to mars. and then, let´s see how long it takes for mankind to reach this planet |

hey its "virtual gold"
Bitcoin is not like gold at all, in the aspect that gold does not have price check built in the same way Bitcoin has. Bitcoin network uses electrical power, and this power has cost. At 600, around 2 million usd daily, can pass trough exchanges pushing the price down. So, we need 2 million daily just to keep the Bitcoin price at the same level. So, 2 million of fresh sucker money daily. storing, guarding and transporting gold produces costs also. |

Yet another concern;
Do you really thing the average Joe is gonna want to take his paycheck and buy 1 bitcoin?
Will the average Joe be able to comprehend that you can buy pieces of bitcoin?
Yes. Challenge issued; 1. Go to Walmart 2. Ask cashier if you can pay in Bitcoin 3. After he/she looks at you with a blank stare attempt to explain Bitcoin 4. Attempt to explain how they can acquire bitcoin 5. Report the results of your conversation here. Bonus round; If you can get a friend to YouTube said attempt you would score bonus points just for the comedic value we would all get watching it. Do you accept this challenge? love it ! |

Which party sounds wilder, one with strippers or one where an uptight fiance tells hundreds of people, overwhelmingly men, that there won't be any? Doesn't seem like a hard choice to me.
Exactly. We are the new wealthy elite and some bitch is not going to tell us what to do. There will be strippers! hundreds of 'em ! |

got a KNC Jupiter I expected to make ROI in a lesiurey fashion in say 9 months to 1 year...as I expected hype to slow down etc more equip etc.....mad ROI in 25 days
started mining oct 18th I think coin then was around $150
Does that include your power consumption? heh power consumption being really really optimistic and selling at 600 bucks BTC at www.mtgox.com minus the $7,131.80 USD I spent w/shipping (and not counting power supply)for the KNC Jupiter i have....I'm under those more then rosy conditions at 21 coins @$12,600 USD....minus $7131.80 that is $5,468.20 ahead and I'll have been mining 1 month tomorrow 11/18 as of 8:30pm CST USA.....as for electric it is a bit less then 100 bucks I think around 80 bucks but call it 100 cause I've been home a lot babysitting miner and giggling so more use on other computers and such this month of course it will all go boom and I will probably be looking at 1/2 ROI on Monday after the U.S. House hearings ...or some such bad news...but hey that works too for 1 month of mining I have a Jupiter hashing 555gh consistent ..just put the new firmware on now 0.99 its hashing at around 564gh consistent.... heh been a good nite for me at least in the delusions of my own mind (yeah we are all insane it is only real variable that is constant in all this) Searing p.s. er as I ordered the Jupiter on July 1st I think BTC was 60 bucks or some such yeah better of getting BTC direct I would have been but no body imho noob wise jumps in with 7k or more in speculation...we always start with equipment...now in the future with how asic mnfg stuff trickles out etc etc I may change my tune but this is what I seem to hear how most start in bitcoin with miners (or did back in the early early days of summer 2013....) And 25 days ago the price was $150. $7,131.80/$150 = 47.54533333 BTC47.54533333 * $600 = $28,527.20 You would have made more with buy and hold. True but as I stated in previous posts with BTC at what $60 bucks last summer and being a noob I was unlikely to dump 7,131.80 out of the gate in pure speculation....at least this last summer everyone I knew doing bitcoin STARTED as a NOOB by mining...at least then...so yeah I agree with your point and may do more or all speculation in the future..but most people will ease in it slowly (or did) and will buy a piece of equipment that pays for itself first rather then plunk money down on a market speculation out the gate (I should coulda woulda done better doing the same with gold a couple years ago to...also goes for the same in speculation on silver.....or flipping houses...etc ...but a piece of equip that at the time in say 7 months would pay for itself and make some coin after ..maybe enough to pay my home utils for 6 months ....zowie.....(remember we we're more modest in our hobby expectations back then ..or at least how I remember (remember Avalon? ...there are guys there who did quite well mining last summer WHEN they got their equipment around that time I got my July order in for a Jupiter..which was risky enough with KNC being newer then wet paint as a company. anyway again I agree woulda/shoulda but as a NOOB and imho it is very likely that trend will continue they will mine first and figure out this bitcoin stuff and then maybe buy/sell/hold more instead or in addition to mining..which is probably the area of the landscape of bitcoin you are at now....I'm probably heading that way too.... (ah yes if I'd only had the 'big brass ones' to buy at 60 USD..that BTC..tough sell last summer with everyone yelling how evil bitcoin was or so my feeble mind remembers) as usual I'm clueless just saying Searing we started out with 10 jupiter (+1 as bonus, thank you knc). sold 5 beginning of october and sold the rest yesterday. we made more than 20% roi in btc. after very unpleasent and expensive fuck ups with BFL, avalon gen III and avalon chip sale we almost lost faith in mining. knc sorted this for us. this was the best investment i ever made. (well, except for those first coins i bought in 2011) |

W E L C O M E chairforce1, Ibian, Geruss, davida, Zakryze, Carlor, dewdeded, kandelawa, randyshan, warhawk187, bitjoint. THE EPICNESS IS STRONG WITH THIS PARTY shit we will have to party on a rooftop this winter hard.
With a bit of luck it will be Summer 2014, I think No. Definitely before Summer 2014  lol, let´s just hope it will not hit 1000 before we started to sell tickets.  that is in december... Great idea. I had to laugh so much, when reading the listing, tanks for that . One part I'm unsure about, do I have to pay the 1 BTC now to get a ticket or when BTC reaches 1k$? And now two wiches from me, I prefer Frankfurt cause it's germanys financeheart, it would be great if you let me hear another set of ATB, so fly him in. Oh yeah, count me in. Btw.: when reading this, gox shows another ath 528$ ticket sale will start in december 2013. check out op. we will ask atb  YtCracker is a hero. I know him/his music from the hacking scene > 10 years back.
Maybe you can get the girl with the bitcoin tattoo over her pussy. I think she also strip for money. So double win to have her.
Uh... No thanks. Not everyone is hitched. Not everyone wants to be. This is supposed to be a party, so, let it be. Granted, but not everyone wants strippers either. I suppose we should have some kind of ruling on this, and maybe other things (smoking?) as it could actually effect where we can hold it and who goes. Personally, I have no problem with strippers, but my fiance might, thus if there are going to be, it changes my attendance from 2 to 1. strippers or not..? should we have a vote about this ? should we just keep it secret ? what about a vip section ? @molecular: it just dawned on me last week you might the person who got me into bitcoin in 2011. i am happy to meet you in person, since you may have changed my life for good. thank you, mate |

I just find it hilarious that the price goes near vert as I am getting my funds in order...boy do I feel silly for being slow.
I can hope for minor correction through out the week to buy in at, but I might end up just dollar cost avg'n to mitigate a crash or steady gain. However I don't really feel a crash per say as much as some corrections.
We've all been through that. First time I spent a significant amount, the price doubled from the time I initiated the transfer to MtGox to when it showed up. After I bought, the price fell 30%. The time between the fall and when things picked up again was a little stressful, to say the least. that´s exactly what happened to me. that was in 2011 in my case. this way it gets burned deep in your nervous system what a donkey cart banks/fiat transaction are compared to this formula 1 race machine called bitcoin. |

meine Strategie war es zu warten, bis mit dem Gewinn ein (recht günstiges) Zoom-Objekiv finanziert ist. Aber plötzlich wären es fast zwei und ich frage mich, ob mir Bitcoin vielleicht auch ein Sofa schenken möchte Ich denke, vor der Situation stehen die meisten, aber einigen scheint es wichtiger zu sein, lieber die BTC zu vermehren als die Euros. Die Idee dahinter hab ich noch nicht verstanden. Das mit den Steuern ist ein Argument, aber ich hatte das so verstanden, dass es einen Freibetrag gibt? Und um nicht so off-topic zu sein: Meine Prognose: Die 500€ knacken wir noch heute, morgen kommen gute Nachrichten aus den USA, ab dann schießt der Kurs ins Unermessliche und danach landen wir etwas höher, als wir jetzt sind. Einige sind hier mit BTC-Beträge involviert bei denen wir uns schon Gedanken um die Steuer machen müssen. Es geht dabei nicht nur um Objektive sondern um die gesamte zukünftige Lebensart...... Die Freibeträge sind dabei viel zu gering. nach einem jahr halten sind bitcoins 100% steuerfrei was kapitalertragssteuern betrifft. einen höheren freibetrag kann man sich doch garnicht wünschen |

To sleep or not to sleep. That is the question.
No. To pass out or not to pass out ... to the moon or not to the moon ... |
