maybe he was killed by satoshi.

Im in EUROPE and I want to buy 1BTC before it becomes impossible. Do you think right now is the right time, or should I wait? I need 1BTC for psychological stability. Im also considering a couple LTC just for shits and giggles, but my main goal is get 1BTC. Having less than 1BTC feels like a joke. This deep depression of missing the boat can only find relief in looking at my wallet and seeing ONE BTC at least.

So i've been looking at the different exchanges: BTC-e right now has the best price to buy, but they ask you for ID and shit, just like Bitstamp. MTGox is shit for buying, too expensive, and no euros.
Kraken: These idiots aren't validating my tier2 level
Bitcoin.de: I don't know if this is legit, price seems decent. Any experiences?
Virwox: The quickest and easiest way, but the fees suck.
Localbitcoin: I don't trust this, too many scammers.

Please, just tell me what would be the best way to get 1BTC right now. I just don't like the idea of having my ID, bills and more information forever stored in a database related to Bitcoin. Isn't Bitcoin supossed to be anonymous? Because it's the same shit again if you have to give your data to exchanges, which could be seized anytime for no reason, and your shit would be there for them to see, and conveniently apply taxes on your ass when they feel like regulating stuff.

Ok thanks for pointing that out and completely ignoring the overall message!

Baidu are  no longer accepting bitcoin

please find a solid reference this is pretty major news.

Norway and Sweden are welfare states and are part of the EU. They should abide by the European laws on immigration. They can't deport the gypsies.

On the other hand, Switzerland is not a part of the EU. It is an independent country, which can deport people illegally entering its territory.

Not to stir up the China news again, but for those who attempted to flip off the news as bullish, I fear that may have been a bit optimistic.

From yomofo's post on reddit/bitcoin

China Telecom page from last week. (note the btc logo) http://bitcoinexaminer.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/sdgfgh.jpg

China Telecom page from today. (note the btc logo is now gone) http://js.189.cn/w2014


And also Baidu are no longer accepting bitcoin by the looks of it, whom where arguably the start of this Chinese rally.

Although the government statement did not specifically ban companys from utilizing bitcoin, the Chinese people and company CEO's have become very adept at reading between the lines of what their government say.

Still bullish?

Ok.  Thanks for clarifying.  So that means replies to posts too?

It's not that simple. There are tons of other coins, and tons of other coins will continue to come out. There will be an infinite supply of coins. Bitcoins won't be worth hundreds of thousands of dollar ever simply because other coins will bring the price of Bitcoins down.

You really have to be truly ignorant to make a post that only looks at one coin. The correct way of reading virtual currency is context. So many people these days have no critical thinking skills and cannot understand the context of the situation.


In your case #L2Context and #L2BrainUpgrade.

There have been many rumors flying around regarding the identity of Satoshi, both due to the success of Bitcoin, and because people are worried that a person or group with such large holdings in the digital currency is staying hidden and is capable of crashing the value of Bitcoin at will.

I am simply curious. I would like to know why to stay hidden, what drove the power behind Bitcoin, and what are Satoshi's views of what happened with Bitcoin since it started? Did he/she/they anticipated all or some of what transpired so far? Was it in the "Masterplan"? and what is planned for the future?

I know it is a long shot, but I hope I can get some answers to at least a few of my questions.

Thanks in advance.

There will be new hardware in the market between December and March, but after the 28nm and 20nm become standard, the old hardware will become obsolete, of the 7PH currently hashing, probably about 5PH will stop hashing soon because the electricity costs to keep them running will be too high.

On top of that, after difficulty has risen to a certain level, it will into rise exponentially anymore, at least not anywhere near the speed it did before, because the new hardware will not be as much of a leap in technology as GPU mining was compared to CPU and FPGA to GPU and ASIC to FPGA.

The new ASICs will not be several orders of magnitude better, therefore the difficulty after May or so will not increase with more than ~20% per month or so probably.
