@Adam, you can go ahead and just delete this thread now. Failed experiment taken completely over by stupid sockpuppet troll accounts. Troll ratio something like 20:1 now. No good information here anymore.

Gavin issued a warning to those who are not so tech savy to avoid using bitcoin until they know how to secure their own computer. This is a fair comment. We should not over react by saying bitcoin is dangerous.
If the news author's exact quote is correct, then Gavin did use the word "dangerous" to describe Bitcoin. If Gavin didn't mean this, then he should learn to choose his words more carefully.

Just because 20 something year old millennials can make phone calls and open the facebook app on their smart phones does not mean they're ready for something like bitcoin....
Yeah, it's not like this group comprises 80-90% of today's retail bitcoin purchase or anything. ...which requires the creation of offline wallets to keep even reasonably safe.
No it doesn't. Quit trollin'.

One more example of how Bitcoin Foundation members continue to absolutely suck at PR, and continue putting their foot in their mouths. They should all just stop talking to the press.
Bitcoins are not "dangerous" in any way. Not even for Grandma, if she manages them right.
You funny. In 20 years, the 60-year-old Grandma then would have been the 40-year-old extremely tech/computer/smartphone savvy person of today (that's probably already buying btc). So I think the Grandmas and Grandpas of the future will be just fine with Bitcoin.

This forum (especially this particular thread) is full of trolls & trolls sock puppets. It's really gone to shit.
Nobody minds the battle between bears & bulls, they both have genuine reasons for cheering different scenarios to make money, that's fine.
There are so many trolls though, it's really quite pathetic & I feel embarrassed for them.
Trolls are people who refuse to make choices in their own pathetic lives and thus feel the need to judge the choices of others. Ignore them and they don't exist. But you know what? The next bitcoin price spike and the bulls are back.... for about 4-6 weeks. And then it's all back to "24 hour troll programming" for another year.

In my mind, a bitcoin perma bear is anyone who supposedly has been investing in bitcoin longer than 2-3 years now and still doesn't have jack of return to show for it.

i will say it : double bottom
Disagreed.

Yep, Stamp now back online and the dumping shenanigans resume.
Fk that stupid exchange.

Bitcoin bull here, BUT....
Gold in 2014: -1.09% Bitcoin in 2014: -76%
...so clearly Gold kicked Bitcoin's ass this year.

it could go the opposite way 10 dollar coins could get a new load of people involved that couldnt afford to buy in before when a coin costed around 600usd
Someone needs to put this stupid theory to bed, that a higher exchange rate turns people away. If this is the case then a single bitcoin will never ever reach $10k/btc, just like gold will never reach $1200/ounce.... oh wait.

I still think that Bitcoin will hit double digits, it will be just slow and painful path for many of you here, I will ride the ship only when most of you delusional cultists and get rich kids abandon it....
Understood Affirmative Because mmitech is a soothsayer and has a crystal ball, so everything he says must be true

I have waited 2 fucking years for this bullrun
If I miss the party just cuz I deposited my funds right before bitstamp got closed down, I will be fucking pissed.
Definately will be taking some more loans if bitstamp don't open up soon
Seriously, This is not trolling , no bullbearwhale crap talk... You need help. If you're seriously thinking about getting MORE loans you're right now worse that a bet addict. And I know what I'm talking about. Go on.. A guy taking more loans .. so he is already in debt He needs money and he only has a loan as a solution , it means he has no money outside his bitcoins and bitstampmoney And yet he wants to take it and invest it (aka smartsuit gambling) And you don't see a problem with it Kinda reminds me of that guy that bet "double or nothing" on his stash of ~50 BTC with a single dice roll. Btw, he lost. Link please! Here's the story I was referring to: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/26ksb8/i_lost_everything_last_night_on_justdice_ama_also/

Can we have at least one thread (other than Risto's) in the Spec forum that DOESN'T get subverted and taken over by the trolls within 2 pages? @BitChick: I agree with you. Also since this is your thread, you have the power to delete any obvious troll posts (like the ones above from Mr. Buffert and NotFuckchop, hint hint ) If bitcoin so wonderful revolutionary technology, why you afraid of critique? It can not support itself on it's own merit? Nothing I or Mr. Lambchop saying can be proved to be incorrect, we been right for long time, and called "trolls". Smart people listening to our advice. Poor people listening to your advice. Bitchick, please delete the postings of Mr. Torque, he is obvious bitcoin shill. Listen to you, a newbie troll account a mere 2 days old? And you've known Mr. Lambchop for ages even though your account is brand new? Not likely. Everything I saying is truth. But we should listen to you? Over the next couple days I think it'll be a slow grind up to 528, then bang! push through with volume. And then panic buying will ensue. Nice pull from that thread completely out of context. If you couldn't tell it was complete sarcasm. If you check my other posts from several days before and after that one, you'll see that I was very bearish and skeptical of the price action (which was still falling). Here's one of mine in that thread from September 2nd: Let's make a new rule in this thread. Let's don't cheer and bring out rocket/moon photos ever time the price rises $5-10. Mmmkay?
I bet this rule would be dropped if the price rises to 510$. I've been nothing but disappointed since April's month long bottom $420 --> $680. Then we stayed in the $600-550 range for months. It's been nothing but down ever since. So wake me up when we hit $680 again. Otherwise I'm completely ignoring rockets/moons until then.

We should have more threads like Risto's! Who doesn't like pages full of gentlemen pushing a scamcoin and calling BTC bottoms right before crashes? Trolls, stop being right about falling BTC price! Dumb trolls, just stop! Hey look, another one, fresh out of NotFuckchop's troll shitter...

I'm just wondering if some of the major whales who have been "walking it down" all through 2014, now have the majority of their coins and fiat locked up on Stamp. Hopefully that's true, and they are now pissing their pants. The thought of that makes me grin a big ol' shit eating grin.

Well ever since Stamp went offline, all selling pressure ceased immediately. Discuss.
