Do you guys really think Putin would allow the Feds to come in and close BTC-e?
Are you for real? I am, yeah. The Russian take pride in those kinds of things. They will never allow a full US operation and shakedown in their turf. If it were to happen (through cooperation), the Russians themselves would be doing all the arresting and sequestering. But meh.. who knows.. BTC-e might be helping them right now with some occasional laundering.. I don't see it happening. At least not until another big big round of alt pumping & dumping. Sorry, I feel like there's some communication difficulty here. I will reduce sarcasm levels accordingly. So what  They work with russian banks, russian payment systems and russian credit card processors. You think anyone really cares where the company is founded? Where's the money is what matters. CoinDesk has learned that BTC-e does not use a bank account with a company name, instead choosing to use a third party to provide banking services. Depositors send money to UK company Mayzus Financial Services Ltd’s Deutsche Bank account in the Czech republic who use OKPAY, an e-currency provider to transfer users’ funds directly to the exchange. Other than rumors , nothing Russian in it. |

Since someone likes to delete my posts, I'll just make my own thread for them.
Technology being suppressed by the US gov:
Hemp based renewable biodiesel that would power our entire country with a negative carbon footprint
Infinite energy as conceptualized by Tesla
Alterations to cars that significantly increase gas mileage
Flying discs
Thoughts?
You really need to go out more. There are lots flying around.  |

You know why I said "Hacks"
Those hacks are people running away with money.
Show that meme to a guy that had btc on inputs.io and let me know if he thinks it is funny.
3 hours downtime vs lots of savings gone forever.

So, if Litecoin isn't the answer, what is the next best thing ti Bitcoin right now that still has potential?
There isn't any alt coin with true potential. (except nmc that actually has a purpose) A lot of coins that claim that , but in reality they are just a bunch of clones. And I don't see any at the horizon. |

Yi, who is also head of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, said in the speech that the yuan’s appreciation benefits more people in China than it hurts.
Can I laugh?
Leave the yuan roam free and we'll see China exports crumble.

Also , China knows what happens when you fight a war alone and think numbers are enough : Had to search a bit for the image  I had this image in my history book while I was in primary school  China's interest is Taiwan, not Japan. China is claiming Taiwan and Taiwan is claiming China (the capital of "the Republic of China" known also as Taiwan is NanJing, in the mainland, but the temporary capital is Taipei)... guess who will win.
Taiwan? Yes, it's recognized by only 23 countries in the world (January 2012). If you are a nation of Southeast Asia or Africa and you want to have diplomatic relations with China you must deny Taiwan as an independent state and close all relations with it. My bet is still on Taiwan. Taiwan was actualy created in the chinese civil war, the nationalists fought the revolutionists and lost, they ran to the islands of Taiwan where they formed they own state, communists kept ruling the China as we know it today but Taiwan and China should reunite peacefully in a couple of hundred years, but not by force and not soon  Go back a few centuries please. Taiwan in 1500-1600 was Chinese like Poland. |

Religion still exist because people fear death. Gods (v2.01) exist for the same reasons. That's why the ancient gods faded away , people started to understand how this thing called Earth works. One thing they haven't been able to explain is death , and if there is something beyond. We fear that so we need hope. We're still a bunch of monkeys |

Stop looking at bitcoin as just a currency or even a payment system, even though that is what we are seeing it being used as today, that is not nearly what can be done with it.
Bitcoin is a P2P, Decentralized, Global, Open Source, Proof of Ownership system.
P2P? Decentralized? Well, unless it really gets used. Then you are gonna need centralized servers for the full block chain and prune the blockchain on normal clients and nodes.The value that a transaction on the block-chain via colored coins or other mechanism can literally be anything, from stocks, bonds, smart property, a voting system, wills, deeds, proof of invention, a pdf, an mp3, as well as a system to allow for off-chain micro transactions, etc. etc. etc.
Yeah, sure. You could layer on top of it. Question remains if that really makes sense or rather develop a custom solution directly on top of tcp. And there are dozens of bitcoin clones around. Why choose bitcoin when you can use an identical cheap altcoin instead? Nope , the blockchain can be compressed or it can be implemented a new change , erasing older transaction that are no longer needed. No need to panic. |

Sorry to be banal, but mining is not profitable anymore... You'd better do Ripple Labs WCG (Computing for Good)
Make that for some people and you'll be right. If it wasn't profitable nobody will be mining right? |

That's maybe the major drawback of bitcoin - no easy way in. And i'm talking about regular people, not miners, brokers/speculators etc. The ones that actually spend money (usually via PP and/or CC) to BUY things (not just cryptocurrencies), the ones that eventually can replace PP and other existing payment methods with bitcoin.
And they don't want to wire funds to some shaddy exchange, wait for 7-30 days just to buy coins.
Neither they want to meet with someone in person to exchange money for coins (or vice versa)
I find it no harder than managing and moving dollars electronically. You mentioned PayPal, well it's basically the same process to fund your PayPal account. Get verified, send money, wait for your account to be funded. It's getting through the morass of legal requirements on dollars that is the problem. Once you have bitcoin you are free. In theory , practically , it's a lot harder for some people. You can fund a PP account with one click , check the speculation thread with people angry their funds haven't reached the exchanges at time and they missed "the boat "the crash"the rise" the god knows what. You've been here long enough to know buying bitcoins is sometimes a pain in the ass. |

i had a dream last night that bitcoins were actually backed by crayfish tails. i had left a huge pot of them outside for a couple days after a party and they all got spoiled, so i had to throw all those tails away. i was devastated. i was so mad at myself for getting into a currency backed by crawfish tails. thats when i woke up with a sigh of relief. true story.
Weird enough there is actually no crab coin or fishcoin. Maybe it was a premonition that you should start an altcoin? |

Untill i see giant nets above our heads protecting us from falling drones i will not think that it's going to work. Although if the drone falls and doesn't kill you, you might end up with a free gpu or something  Oh , yeah , like those giants ones near every airport! Special invisible nets . Have an umbrella , my treat. |

When I saw bitcoin for the first time, it just finished climbing from 0.10 to $1 and I had exactly your thoughts, OP. I thought - fuck, now I won't buy it anymore and who would if it costs more than a dollar Yeah but this is a different animal altogether at $1,000. $1,000 is a thresshold that 99% of stocks never pass .... and 99% never even reach. That's kind of why Im taking this viewpoint more seriously. I bet daily on the "1 penny to 1 dollar" chance with alt coins, and have been paid handsomely on nearly every one of them. Something being at $1,000 and going to $50,000 needs an outside element which pushes up its price. If its just Sally and Bob buying a Bitcoin on Coinbase .... we're done going up.-B- Look who turned out to be a non believer =)))) Oh , god ! how Ionic-Ironic. |
