momentum is building

the price is not a reflection

bitcoin is cheaper now at $300 than it was at $60 imo, all things considered

that's one of the main reasons for bitcoin and alts

tend to agree with op
it is quite backward country, that relies almost totally on tourism and people are avoiding now because of problems

they have an amazing history as a country, but you have to go back a LONG way
584  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Russia's Ministry of Economic Development criticises bitcoin ban on: December 30, 2014, 01:00:28 PM
not exactly sure whether it's because they want to reconsider Cryptocurrencies, or because the initial wording of the legislation was so daft and vague that it covered anything from vouchers, giftcards and coupons. My guess is given the russian government's preference for tight control is that Bitcoin supporters shouldnt get their hopes up

yes, that's how I read it

all countries cock-up when they introduce legislation without thinking it through properly and slam people who question it as liberals.

how's the patriot act working out for ordinary americans?
how's your constitution?

once we have two way atms all over world, we have the complete offshare bank without an offshore bank

to be safe, wear a balaclava and gloves when cashing out though  Cool

Lol yes it would be very convenient to have two ways bitcoin atms everywhere but if you have only one per country, "they" can spy you. Localbitcoins offer an easy way to exchange bitcoins a bit under the radar.


even localbitcoins is not safe due to honeytraps

Nothing is really safe. To be safer, you can do nothing illegal and do small transactions with trusted sellers.

yes, but also if buyer merely mentions he will do something illegal with the cash they will jail you.
so it's like if you swapped a $5 dollar bill for a 5 euro note and the other guy says he's off to buy a small bag of marijuana with the new bill they will frame you lol

but that is what some feds are doing with btc to get column inches
it's ridiculous

personally I have no interest in any illegal activity and actually hated silkroad and all the connotations to btc and have no sympathy for people like shrem

there is so much ignorance about bitcoins and altcoins in banks, governments, media and wider general public

2015 will need a much better pr campaign all round as this is way forward
I hate using fiat
586  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: w. Buffet on bitcoin, “Stay away from it. It’s a mirage.." what do you think? on: December 29, 2014, 11:54:15 PM
buffet knows precisely nothing about technology
doesnt use email, laptops nothing

he refused to invest in ibm, google, apple etc

he has made shitloads out of railroads, real world stuff. no problem
but missed out on 10 times what he could have done.

bottomline I couldn't care what he thinks.

hopefully the buffets and murdochs of this world will be gone soon, in their eighties, can't be too long...
A lot of people do care what he thinks because he has been such a successful investor. He is one of the very few people that have been able to achieve above market returns over the long term (decades).

With that being said he does not invest in things that he does not understand, and he does not understand most technology companies, and bitcoin is much more advanced then technology companies

I agree with you
I just said I didn't care what he thinks about btc

millions care what he thinks and he has a huge following. I watched a documentary about him a few years ago and he has a huge conference/festival built around him, a cult like following and he's been on the money for decades. always in top 3 richest people

he alone was most successful investor of 20th century!

so, not doubting his acumen, but he can be spectacularly wrong, and it is always in tech sector.
apple, google, ibm etc

frankly speaking an idiot could see where the high street was heading 5 years ago, charity shops, bookies, cash converters, lidl etc

but he stocked up on tesco way over the odds too and had to dump at a huge loss

he is a very intelligent man, it's possible he may admit he's wrong in future and brush it away as nothing as he admits he doesn't really understand the tech space

let's face it, he doesn't need the money so it doesn't really matter to him too much
587  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 2014 was Year of the Crypto Exchanges on: December 29, 2014, 11:25:22 PM
just a reminder to keep a very small amount on online exhanges
whether bitcoin or alts

keep most offline in qt wallets (encrypted) with pw
and thumbdrives etc.

many exchanges come and go without warning, get hacked etc.

The reason that some people keep so much money on exchanges is because they want to use it to trade the market. If they have a winning trade then the more money they have on the exchange the bigger the trade they can make and the more money they will make. It is fueled by greed

well, yes

but if the exchange is corrupt or gets hacked or owners are dishonest they could wake up one day and all coins gone

silly OP

no we don't want these scumbags using btc or altcoins. same way I don't want other terrorists (cia) using it either

they should use ripple  Grin

I nominate Paycoin.

agreed
that scamcoin would be perfect

600  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: CoinMarketCap.com - Market Cap Rankings of All Cryptocurrencies! on: December 29, 2014, 02:11:46 PM
Dont want to get attacked here but have one simple question I would like answered by coinmarketcap and anyone else can add if they like.

How come you dont have the link below as your main page? The following link filters all the non mineable and premined coins.

By you having the other view, you just give great advertising to coins like paycoin, ripple and stellar who instantly jump past other hard working coins because they have so many coins available and a massive market cap while pushing the rest of the good coins down.
This fools new people joining the crypto world to buy these coins in the top 20 because of a massive marketcap based on premined or non minable coins when they probably have no ideas about this?

All the first coins that were put on your site have been pushed down further and further everytime you have premined coins with massive marketcaps added. How about rewarding the hard working devs and not the guys trying to cheat there way to the top with premined coins getting all the exposure and fooling new investors?

If people want to invest in those types of coins they can but the real coins list should be the default page of your site.

http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/views/filter-non-mineable-and-premined/

Anyways you guys can crucify me now or agree, leave it up to you.

snakey

good point
agreed

this was brought up ages ago and CMC did listen, they implemented where you can click mineable or premined
however some are both

I think the default page should show 'real coins' only myself
