I actually was just going back to edit my post, I have seen it now. Wink

Very impressive. Very, very impressive.

Phinn, I must say, I am disappointed.

This is a fucking cheese sandwich. I at least expected ham. And the big surprise is...

Does deliciousowl get the same treatment once I supply the logs depicting definitive proof that he and gumcruise are the same person?

Well, make a thread in Scam Accusations or something and stop withholding the juicy details from us Wink

Okay, I've formatted the logs so that no other vitals would be depicted. I'm gonna make a fresh pot of coffee first, giving gumowl time enough to see if it's in his heart of hearts to pay my publicly disclosed extortion attempt. HAHAHA

Coffee? Pff. I'm going to go make some tea, British Detective-style.

Told people not to start taking out loans believing that the Bitcoin price would keep increasing. I assumed that the BTC price was still hovering around $400 until I checked Bitstamp on my phone at around 1:30pm (UK time) today, imagine my surprise when we were just shy of $500 in such a short time period. That should already raise a flag about a bubble Undecided
565  Economy / Speculation / Re: Analysis ended on: November 04, 2015, 09:57:12 PM
Here comes the sanity... at $400 already.

Like an LSD trip wearing off.

Right now we're actually still up compared to yesterday. I wonder if we're going to stabilise around $400 or if we'll drop into the $300 range. I don't think we'll necessarily drop into the $200 range again though, at least I hope so Wink
566  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Litecoin v. Bitcoin on: November 04, 2015, 09:55:05 PM
some people trust Litecoin is like a silver and bitcoin like gold
but so many other currency, XMR, Stellar, Doge , etc.
so in future litecoin can dead and other currency will replace litecoin

But why? What is the point of having Litecoin as a "silver"? It's not like silver where it actually has uses as an alternative, Litecoin is basically just a clone that no-one has any real need for due to the existence and divisibility of Bitcoin.

Never happening unless Bitcoin gets hit by a 51% attack. I really doubt that the majority of full nodes will start consenting to blocks which don't follow the normal rules of the halving of the Bitcoin reward unless some kind of fork like Bitcoin-XT goes mainstream, which I doubt.

Knew it was obviously a troll, but it was interesting to see what everyone thought Smiley

You'll probably need to make a new account, though, bud.

Andreas is resorting to really drastic measures to market his book, eh?

Would you give me 0.5 BTC if I didn't tell anybody that you're the OP? HAHAHA According to the logs, deliciousowl and the OP, gumcruise, are the same person. Anybody wanna see the logs, just ask me and I'll provide the proof. Logs don't lie. HAHAHA

Fokin 'av him, Phinn!

Those rates seem very fair Smiley
570  Economy / Services / Re: [BIT-X.com] Earn Bitcoins by Posting | Signature Campaign on: November 04, 2015, 07:22:35 PM
New rates will apply after your next payout.

Fair enough, cheers! Not seeing the new rates yet on the OP though, maybe I'm just too quick Wink
571  Economy / Speculation / Re: Five digits on: November 04, 2015, 07:21:11 PM
Sigh.

I doubt we'll see 5 digits. Maybe we'll go into 4 digits, though if we do we'll probably drop back out of it as it will most likely be due to a bubble. But 5 digits is just insane to suggest, I actually would be quite worried by seeing a price that high.

I think maybe you just lack a bit of optimism

Nah, no chance. We're having a bit of trouble hitting even $300 right now, I highly doubt we will hit $500 next month. If we do, it signals a really unsustainable bubble and I would be worried about it either way. Like I said, we need sustainable growth, not a ridiculous bubble that will quickly pop.

The people who say that those who call out bubbles lack optimism are usually either cryptoanarchists or have no actual knowledge of how this stuff usually works.

We have seen bubbles all throughout bitcoin's history, especially with new all-time highs. Corrections are a matter of life. You would not say the same thing about the stock market.

Sell your car, take out student loans, borrow money from your girlfriend, pawn the title of her car, sell your fillings, then buy bitcoin.

Yeah, don't do this, this is something I especially warn about. It's extremely likely the price of Bitcoin will end up crashing by the end of the year as it seems we are walking right into a bubble, and if you get caught out with a situation like that you may be in deep trouble.
574  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why Bitcoin could easily be worth more than 10.000 USD... on: November 04, 2015, 06:05:58 PM


I'm unsure how much I want to put our hopes of getting a higher Bitcoin price into "hoping that the black market adopts it as its main currency". It already isn't that nice that there's quite a large portion of Bitcoin's value driven by underground transactions.

we are already in hyper inflation, notice cost of living going up alot, exponentially.

Sigh...

I assure you, this is not the case.

"The latest inflation rate for the United States is 0.0% (unchanged) through the 12 months ended September 2015 as published by the US government on October 15, 2015."

Similar things in the UK too, we actually were in deflation for a short while. We are definitely nowhere near hyper inflation, we are infinitely closer to deflation itself.
576  Economy / Economics / Re: The truth about the current bubble on: November 04, 2015, 05:53:41 PM
well, thats it?

going down again. or just like the short stop @330$ and up agin?

now 458 @bitstamp

Could be the start of a bubble popping or just a slight correction/draw back, there's no real way of knowing this early on. Just hang on and enjoy the ride, the price is really turbulent and changing REALLY fast right now. Wink
577  Economy / Speculation / Re: Hello $2500 on: November 04, 2015, 05:52:05 PM
We did see a draw back before the rally to where we currently are hovering around in all fairness, so it's not out of the question that we could have rallied past this by tomorrow. Right now we're keeping around $460 with some small changes up and down. A lot happening on the market right now though, jesus...
578  Other / Archival / Re: Updated Overview of Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns on: November 04, 2015, 05:45:45 PM
I don't see why you need to have a live Bitcoin counter for that, it seems like it's quite inaccurate if it's presented and rounded like that. Just say $0.30 for staff, for instance, or 30¢, or $.30...etc. There's no problem with putting USD as an amount in the table if that's what the signature campaign pays in.
Well, I rather not have dollar values in my table, because we are a Bitcoin forum, not a Dollar forum. Anyway, I've created a quick StrawPoll with some possible opties. I'll use whatever gets a majority of votes.

Indeed it isn't ideal, but here it's a decision of whether to go for ideology here versus accuracy. While I understand it's a Bitcoin forum, if they aren't paying in Bitcoin...

If you really want to, it might be worth making a separate table for signature campaigns which pay out based on USD if more of them come out.
579  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: what impact does the recent price increase has towards signature payments. on: November 04, 2015, 05:42:57 PM
Case-by-case basis, I suppose. In an ideal world there is no need for signature campaign owners to adjust their BTC payments, but we don't live in an ideal world Wink It would be nice for those companies with signature campaigns that make their profit off BTC commissions to keep their payments the same and pass on their increased profits, yes, but company owners are usually more greedy than that Tongue
580  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Do you think signature Campaigns will still continue when btc goes $800 ? on: November 04, 2015, 05:40:45 PM
They still continued when Bitcoin went over $1000, in fact back then most of them did not cut back in an amount that was equal to the price rise of BTC so most people were still better off. That's just talking based on a historical perspective, people might be a bit more tight now. Wink
