i don't know if i'd call it the religion that is so crazy.. it probably has more to do with the culture of arabs, on top of the fact that the west has gone into their territory and siphoned out so much of their natural resources without giving anything back.

Hello everybody,
In last week's there were many good News about Bitcoin, normally the Price would go to the Moon #Dell. But it goes every day down and down, also the Price is not anymore Stable, the Price goes 1 Step Up to fall hours later 2 steps down
always noobs post that kind of topics yeah every time. the price of bitcoin is important, but i think for some bitcoiners, that's all they really care about.

BBC, Al Jazeera?
Al Jazeera = US Cable TV news channel they operate in the U.S. maybe they are not U.S. owned, but it's in english.

i wouldn't even know.. i go to starbucks maybe 6 times a year, and that's just to meet up with people im selling shit from craigslist. i probably spend money there once or twice a year..

in terms of leaving a vaccum of destruction.. it's USA, and that's uncontested. we just have a better system to mitigate the public discourse.

jeez, took them long enough. i donated to them via USD a few years ago, but i don't think i'd do it again.. they have the opportunity to accept btc for a long time now, risk-free.. yet they didn't (even though they were hurting for donations).

damn gambling with bitcoin is basically parlaying your bet.. it's not a good idea to bet twice like that.
|
|

this just goes to show how unpredictable bitcoin is.. with good news, you'd think the price would go up. if you read today's articles about 1 year ago, without knowing the price of bitcoin, you'd think it'd be rising beyond the moon at this point.

this shit is bad, but i don't act like there wouldn't be americans who'd pull this shit. you have to remember that hamas DID shoot rockets at israeli civilians. that's why i don't take one media representation and apply it to the whole of israel. at the same time, i don't take israel's side either..

about 6 weeks away from the newsroom and homeland.. this used to be "breaking bad time" which makes me sad.

oh man, bitcoin's price continues to bleed.. this is a long dry spell we've been in. i think the price is going to be more stabilized, so when we do have another bull-run, it won't go as high as it has done before.
What's the record for number of red daily candles in a row? I was looking back in time and had trouble finding a longer stretch. i'm not sure, but i have lived through the last 2 bull-runs. april 2013 to early november.. so about a 6-7 month span. when was the bull-run prior to the april 2013 one? it's possible it could have been in 2011 right? i followed btc in december 2012.

the thing is, not many people predicted the bull-runs in the past, so no one knows exactly what will happen.
i'm still waiting and hoping for the ETF though. that would definitely push the price up, and that's the only thing i can see affecting the price.
And effectively no one knows when the ETF is going to launch as well! Predictions are spread pretty widely. I don't think we'll see the Winklevoss ETF this year, though... Maybe next spring? Those things take a lot of time, unfortunately! yeah it's doubtful for this year.. so it's looking like there's a good chance it won't happen. another thing that could help bitcoin's price: hyperinflation in a country that has a lot of money to throw around. or, in an even worse event, hyperinflation spreading throughout a multitude of countries in the world.

a solar flare could crash the price of bitcoin down to the single digit levels, at least in my opinion. a lot of people would be wary of the technology. the last time we had one that would have wreaked havoc was in 1859. solar flares run in 11 year cycles i believe. IIRC, the chances of a flare hitting us hard increases towards the end of the cycle. if we make it past 3 cycles, that's 33 years.. and in each cycle, there is a very small % that a sunspot/flare would occur. then again, wired says that there is a 1 in 8 chance that it can happen by 2020, which is a pretty high probability number. that's a 12.5% chance.. damn. http://www.wired.com/2012/02/massive-solar-flare/

I'm actually sorry to tell you this. But this "experiment" is fraudulent. Hmm how so anyways I'm curious enough can you provide proof of this experiment being fraudulent Different gases retain and reflect heat at different rates so I can't see where the fake part came from unless I am missing something. Unless you meant the affordable clean energy alternative part then I can see what you meant. Its Global warming potential Spendulus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global-warming_potentialCarbon dioxide has a GWP of exactly 1 (since it is the baseline unit to which all other greenhouse gases are compared). Methane 12.4 86(20 years) 34 (100 Years) Note that a substance's GWP depends on the timespan over which the potential is calculated. A gas which is quickly removed from the atmosphere may initially have a large effect but for longer time periods as it has been removed becomes less important. Thus methane has a potential of 34 over 100 years but 86 over 20 years; conversely sulfur hexafluoride has a GWP of 22,800 over 100 years but 16,300 over 20 years (IPCC TAR). The GWP value depends on how the gas concentration decays over time in the atmosphere. This is often not precisely known and hence the values should not be considered exact. For this reason when quoting a GWP it is important to give a reference to the calculation. EDIT: I think I got what you meant the video should have said Methane Global-warming potential (GWP) is a relative measure of how much heat a greenhouse gas traps in the atmosphere. It compares the amount of heat trapped by a certain mass of the gas in question to the amount of heat trapped by a similar mass of carbon dioxide. A GWP is calculated over a specific time interval, commonly 20, 100 or 500 years. GWP is expressed as a factor of carbon dioxide (whose GWP is standardized to 1). For example, the 20 year GWP of methane is 86, which means that if the same mass of methane and carbon dioxide were introduced into the atmosphere, that methane will trap 86 times more heat than the carbon dioxide over the next 20 years They needed to clarify that better man, if he ends up typing 10 words and you end up typing a thesis as an argument.. it might have been a troll attempt. if that were the case, i'd find humor in that

seems like a chasm is growing in the GOP field.. a lot of repubs are starting to get a little wary of our foreign policy... of course there are still many who are profiting from the military industrial complex, but i think there seems to be a growing sentiment that we shouldn't have so much influence overseas.

I've done some research of my own in the solar energy solution looking to find a good way to save money but it seems it would only save me money in 20-30 odd years in the future which is quite hard to believe.
i had someone quote me 30k for enough solar panels to provide 700 KWH per month. they are vastly overcharging, because they were trying to convince me to buy a brand that they approved. i was browing around a bit, and it sounds like you can get a system installed for under $10k.. so your ROI should be less than 20-30 years. That does sound like overcharging. 700kWh/month at $0.08 per kWh would only save you $672/year. That's only $13k in 20 years. Unless your electricity is much more expensive than $0.08/kWh, that's a terrible deal. How much are they charging per installed watt? Like $10? And if someone says you'll get so many kWh/month out of the system, make sure they tell you how many you'll get per year (is 700 a good month or bad?), and make sure you have a way of keeping them to that promise. depends where you are living, really. where i am, 700KWH/month costs more than $200. that's $2,400 per year in minimum savings. tier 4 costs 33 cents per KWH. the number fluctuates, but i believe you get out of tier 1 after using 180 KWH.

I firmly believe that the price hasn't caught up to the level of adoption that we are at now. I think price increases and decreases are going to occur at a slower pace now...
This is less exciting for those who live for the volatility, but it could become more inviting for the everyday investor as things progress with more stability.
maybe you're right that the price doesn't represent bitcoin's value based on infrastructure.. but i think the ETF is going to change the game. it's going to push bitcoin more towards the commodity/speculative currency direction. bitcoin IS a blend of speculation and utility after all.

somebody large is dumping. maybe the guy that bought the FBI coins?
a lot of people are keeping their eye on his wallet address, so if the funds moved, you'd hear about it on the forums. he also paid close to spot price, so i don't know why he'd dump at this point.
