Wanted to make a quick buck? Thought you found the short-cut to endless riches? Serves you right bitch, the punishment is only proportional to your greed and the damage done to Bitcoin by the bubble you derps caused.
Back at the day when I was new to bitcoins you could buy them at about 6$ per coin, wish I could travel back in time and slap myself on the head and invest all I can gather into them.

It is true that a widespread adoption may lead to a decrease volatility in price as most people use bitcoin as a form of "currency" in their everyday lives. But bitcoin will--yep you're right--never be a currency because it is designed to have a limited supply vs the exponential minting of the dollar which can be used by most of the people around the globe.
You don't want to spend 0.0000012 on a hamburger, do you?
Why would I not want to spend 1.20 bits on a burger?  |

I think more people spend time concerning themselves with the price that figuring out how to spend it on a day to day basis in their own lives.

~1 month before the first major troll invasion.
1. Your funds are not safe neither in "cold storage". 2. trolling trolling trolling bubble like Bitcoin..otherwise the bubble cannot grow. it will remain a little bubble..troll troll troll lol...irony much? be honest. Did you use linden dollars as well ? I think you are one of those who spend fortunes in "Second Life"  When I first read about Linden dollars and Second Life I read about how the dollars were distributed. I saw that it was issued by a central entity. The article I read said the rate was just over 1 Linden per dollar (or whatever ratio it was), so I did a quick search for the conversion since the article was older. The rate was 2 Linden per dollar. I could see where that was going. No need to touch a currency that could be issued by a central authority at its own whims. Never played the game but did have a job interview from a company that wanted me to develop for them. |

Umm, so the dude says
"Yep... Only two more days till Friday, All the #bitcoin Heads are gonna turn! Epic shit on the way. The Current Roller Coaster is Nothin'"
Then come Friday...nothing "I'm going to take a nap".
Now he's some sort of marketing genius?
This is what is known as fraud. The best way to deal with fraud is to make sure that for any future interaction with the guy, everyone knows the past frauds he has initiated.
Then again, we all knew of his previous frauds of spamming people with phishing links. So fortunately nobody made any major purchases or sales based on the news.

I don't know if it's a currency or not, but I get paid in Bitcoin and I buy things with Bitcoin.
What should I call it instead of a currency?
Private money does exist but its not useful if the majority don't use it. Not useful to who? The people who use it? I use Bitcoin all the time. Are you telling me it is not useful to me? Not useful to the majority 99.9% of people. Therefore you are in the minority What do I care of the majority? The majority voted for Barack Obama, the majority spends money at Starbucks. I can use Bitcoin to buy things that I need. I can get paid in Bitcoin. That is all I need. As long as all of the services that exist right now do not go away, I can survive on Bitcoin with no need for centralized, government controlled fiat. We have reached that point. And new services pop up every day, like being able to use Bitcoin on ebay. currency: noun, plural currencies. 1. something that is used as a medium of exchange |

Going back and deleting every post of mine in this thread but this one (I suggest you do the same):  |

I set up my direct deposit to the account number they provided me...
I wonder if this can be done with other things that are not exactly wages? For example revenue from AirBNB? They ask for a payroll company. They work directly with payroll companies. |

Does bitwage take any fees out?
not during Beta |

I bought a bunch at $850, but that was after selling over $900.

I bought in at $17 then did some day trading (losing about half) down to around $3.50.

What's the most bullish thing imaginable? I would like some brainstorming please.
miami leaks show that the manbearwhale is the winkle etf and is indeed accumulating big time for all the secret investors. the bulls manage to push the price back in the high 200$ area which will create the biggest trendreversal hammer known to mankind. manbearwhale soon aka willi2.0 has finally accumulated enough and is now pumping with his remaining profits causing a lot of panic buying, an epic short squeeze and 2000 more pages of rocket and train pix n stuff.  Or that they are actually pushing the price down pre-ETF so that when the price comes back up, their first year portfolio can show a 200% increase. Thus triggering more investors after that, and on and on.. |

Everyone knows that Davy Crockett is made up. I used to watch TV shows about his character when I was a kid.
Before my time but I understand there was a sort of "Davy Crockett" media and store-driven fad in the 1950s, where all the kids got coonskin caps and toy rifles and played like they were Davy Crockett. I suspect they played at shooting Injuns, though, not at making speeches before Congress. The stories I read said he killed a bear with a knife and there was a song about him..."Davy...Davy Crocket, born on the wild frontier.." I guess old politicians used hype of their childhood to get elected like Washington and the apple tree and such. |

This has got to be one of the most cringe worthy threads ever. I work in Afghanistan as a military contractor. I make a lot of money with no expenses (my house back home is being rented for the amount of the mortgage payment).
Every paycheck gets converted to bitcoins.
I started doing this when the price was $22/BTC. Unloaded about a third of them on the news that the US Marshalls were going to auction the Silk Road coins. Bought back in in the $400s. Not in AF anymore, but now instead of converting each paycheck I use bitwage.co to do it for me. |

but it's good for the progress, cause obligates human to EVOLVE.
Are you talking about the communist theory that if humans are subject to socialism for long enough, then we will evolve to the point where nobody will be greedy? I wish humans would evolve to the point where nobody would ever use force, but I'm not going to hold my breath or subject someone to a system that they do not want to be a part of in order to achieve that. |

Still don't understand why so many people believe a deflationary currency it's better. Inflation has the danger to descontrol with bad practics like now, but it's good for the progress, cause obligates human to EVOLVE.
You wouldn't need so many words if you just followed the Keynesian mantra on Bitcoin: "I like the technology of the blockchain, just not Bitcoin." You may also want to try Freicoin. It does what you want and is a total and utter failure. |
