...brokers of exquisite dreams and memories tested on the sensitized cells of junk sickness and bartered for raw materials of the will, doctors skilled in the treatment of diseases dormant in the black dust of ruined cities, gathering virulence in the white blood of eyeless worms feeling slowly to the surface and the human host, maladies of the ocean floor and the stratosphere, maladies of the laboratory and atomic war... A place where the unknown past and the emergent future meet in a vibrating soundless hum... Larval entities waiting for a Live One... Downtown  Ah, the circumstantial ramblings of the Bitcoin junkie. |

Well there's your problem. You're trying to pull a full amp through the port and the Pi doesn't like it. That's why basically everyone uses a powered hub.
It's odd that it has worked for a month, but is getting flakey now. I down-speed to 100 and it's working much better. Thanks It's not odd, it's lucky. You might have caused some damage to the circuit or it might have cause a fire. USB ports are designed for 0.5A max. |

Shame about bgodl. Not exactly a crypto-windfall that one.
It's not doing badly for a free coin... I would never buy it though. Same with Bcash. I have never (and would never) buy Bcash. If there ever was a hope of me taking this coin seriously, it all died when I read that "Letter from the CEO" nonsense written by that pirate guy...  But it was just a prank letter. I don't think it was meant as a prank letter... Or maybe it's my (lack of) sense of humour... No it was serious. But somebody insisted that it wasn't (I believe in this thread). But maybe I failed to read his sarcasm... lol He was just trying to make the (valid) point that Bcash is permissionless - but the way he chose to demonstrate it caused confusion. Not sure I would call it sarcasm - maybe irony? I'm not sure what the best English word is for it. The whole saga was embarrassing on so many levels - for people to attack him for this was doubly stupid. Bcash has plenty of flaws - this isn't one of them. I believe the correct term is rant since it was a rather humourless and somewhat condescending, thinly-veiled letter of reprimand for BCash detractors. |

The Big Bang Theory episode happened. Anyone see it?
Sure not going to spoil it for you. You can always buy the episode on Amazon. Watch it for free on CBS... but yeah, laugh track and not funny. |

It looks like everybody disappeared from the WO after this news.  yeah, it is a very sad day, the utility of this forum is diminished Too much downtown was probably interfering with his ad revenue. 
You can always go
Downtown When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I knowDowntown Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?...  |

Correct me if I'm wrong, by all means, but with a spread like 50 bucks, couldn't a bot just continuously buy and sell and clean up like mad?
Again, we shoul be careful about dealing in absolutes. At the current price, $50 is 0.4% which depending on the exchange you use could be eaten up in trading fees. |

max keiser says the cost to make a bitcoin is $1OOO :-D wut
That's likely not even the cost of the electricity required to produce one bitcoin. |

Wouldn't surprise me if BTC hits $25K within 36 days (early 2018) let alone 365.
A year maybe, a month? No Fucking way. And if it does, expect a correction. Talk about going vertical... Why don't we speak in relative terms rather than absolutes? Look at the 30-day percentage; it's usually 60+ percent. In recent months, we've seen it close to 100%. If it's going to $25k, it wont take a year. At 10% average monthly increase, $25k comes in 8 months and that would be quite sad considering the current rates of adoption - almost a let down IMHO. |

So I'm making a holiday bet with an in-law.
I offered to pitch in $200 for the holiday X-mas meal that he is cooking for the family. He also has a poor attitude toward Bitcoin.
So instead of giving him dollars, I'm going to make him a bet instead just to prove Bitcoin is better. And he loves bets.
The bet will go like this:
1) I give him $200 in bitcoin instead of cash.
2) BUT, he has to hold it until at least Jan 1st, 2019 and cannot sell no matter the price action.
3) If the value of bitcoin falls below $200 by that date, I will give him enough bitcoin to make up the difference in value.
4) If the value of bitcoin stays equal to or rises above $200, he keeps it all and can sell if he wishes.
It's a win-win bet for him. I'm doing this because we need to convert more people to see the power of this new "digital gold".
We'll have another Bitcoiner after Christmas dinner then  |

How difficult would it be to temporarily become a resident of a state that the Bitcoin exchanges deal with?
This has crossed my mind. Renting out a house in a bitcoin-friendly state and paying utilities (maybe internet + electric + water) and letting it sit as a sort of headquarters for my bitcoin activity. Or finding a trustworthy friend who lives in another state and putting my name on their utilities. Then flying over and opening a local bank account. I hate to be dishonest but this seems like a lot less of a headache than jumping through hoops / potentially be out of luck in my situation. Once I have a local bank account opened in that state, and have proof of address, I should be good without needing to verify further down the line. But this is a longterm play, whereas with tax season I have until April 1st to secure payment.  You're in a tough situation. In this case, you're being screwed by an impractical regulatory policy which paints you into a corner and forces you use some ingenuity - it doesn't necessarily have to be dishonest but as they say, 'the devil's in the details'. Best of luck! |

So has anyone here actually treated themselves to anything after passing an arbitrary milestone?
I can't spend on my 1 BTC i want it intact. When i get money from other things then i'll splash out on some garlic bread because i'm on a power save for my trip to asia  When I made my first Bitcoin $1mCAD, I splurged and bought myself a nice little Gallen-Kreuger bass amp. Cost me about $1.2kCAD. I bought it with dollars though. There's no way I'm parting with even a single satoshi unnecessarily. I personally think John Macafee's dick is safe. heading on up to $13,OOO/$15,OOO($20,000>) by new years :-D weeee In a week. I like the way you guys think.  |

Where's all the fiat you received when you cashed out your coin?
Unfortunately that wasn't what pushed me over the edge this year. The Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold received this year is what did me in. My accountant confirms I need to report those hard forks, and the gains realized from just those alone will push me into a tax bill of at least $100,000. Edit: To clarify, just receiving the hardforked coin is enough to create a taxable event. Even though I haven't traded either out to fiat or another coin. How difficult would it be to temporarily become a resident of a state that the Bitcoin exchanges deal with? |
