I think it feels a bit that way because the price has not been doing anything spectacular. Also, people who were maybe thinking about Bitcoin are just getting lazy again and rationalizing to themselves how their money is safe in the bank. We just need some news of bank bail-outs, bail-ins, or some other trigger and it'll wake people up to Bitcoin again.  Smiley



True - the Cyprus bail-in did wonders for bitcoin back when it happened.
That is  so true yes such a small number of bitcoin users remember it. I as a Greek was surprised that local media had no coverage on that matter.

But ism't the point of cryptocurrency that there's no central authority? All the freedome it can offer stems from that.

The coin just went up by 22.6% on BITTREX... Quite impressive how fast this happened. Wouldn't this be a goot time to buy to catch the next uptrend early?

Your numbers seem to indicate that while apple is dominant brand in the US, over 58% don't use apple phones, thus most people in the US do not use apple. Its good to see they are losing marketshare in the US too.

Those are not my numbers. You can click on the images for the source.

Apple has slowly been losing Marketshare against android and iOS definitely isn't 1 in smartphones.

http://www.idc.com/prodserv/smartphone-os-market-share.jsp

Period    Android    iOS           Windows Phone       BlackBerry OS    Others
Q1 2014    81.1%    15.2%        2.7%                      0.5%             0.6%

Apple is a company who's business strategy is focused on clever marketing, locking in clients in their walled garden with a 30% tax, repackaging other peoples inventions and than suing their competition.

What about Smartphone Subscriber Market Share

Here's the global one:


And the US one:


Apple is still the leader the US, most people who own a smartphone there own an apple one.

Bitcoin mining through home computers is dead. Most of the work in the network now is done by sha256 specified asics. Those chips are made for the sole porpuse to solve the mathematical problems behind bitcoin mining and are the reason the difficulty is increasing each month. Bitcoin mining is now an investmnent rather than a hobby, so you should look into the miner's price and power thoroughly before ivnesting on it. You should look if it has a potential to break even.

I'm paying for 5 and I usually get 5.2 or something. Maximum I can get is 10, my upload speed would still be shit though.
6529  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: July 28, 2014, 04:10:51 AM
Some people are talking for a general downtrend at the end of each month, I'm not sure if that's a real thing or if they're bringing this up to change people mind from being bearish. To be honest I can't really spot such a thing in longterm charts. I don't feel like people are mass selling at the end of the month, it could be a whale dump again that caused the downfall.

6531  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Let's get the facts straight about Apple. on: July 28, 2014, 04:05:25 AM
there are bigger multinational corporations to hate more than apple, but that doesn't mean i don't hate apple. every time i have to use itunes to fix someone else's phone, i just think "i fucking hate this shit." there are so many things that apple does that just gives the middle finger to consumers, and people still buy their shit.

Well, buying apple is now a trend and I feel like apple perfectly took advantage of it. But for now, it's only the phone industry that apple is coming first in. If bitcoin's future is transaction from smartphones, well that's when we should be worried.
6532  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: EXCHANGE SCAMS? DO YOU THINK BITTREX, CRYPTSY AND OTHER EXCHANGE ARE CHEATING ? on: July 28, 2014, 03:19:39 AM
To be honest, I'm personally disgusted by bittrex accepting coins to be sponsored. This makes me think that even volumes could be manipulated to drive traders to a certain direction.

This is a concern I've had as well. I couldn't really tell why bittrex was having such big volumes while being founded this year. It has a life span of almost half a year and older, more established and stable exchanges still get a lower volume than bittrex. This just doesn't seem realistic to me, the difference between the volumes is also huge. It would be hard to prove that the volumes are not real though.

I don't think the picture was altered.  I think "she" had a good looking friend come over.

You guys get so gullible when someone pretends to be a pretty girl.    Wink

Guilible? Well yeah right. The point I was trying to make was that he/she was judged by the claimed gender. And while being female seems unlikely to most of us I feel like it would be more appropriate to straightforward ignore it and just report the person in case of actually attempting to scam someone.
6535  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: Cointerra For Sale on: July 28, 2014, 01:31:02 AM
User pretending to be female to gain trust. sounds a bit over the line. Vod should stop unless he wants the forum to be raided from feminist activists.  Roll Eyes

Edit: Besides the trolling, I just saw vod's post. The image above seems not to be edited. You can see in the exif that the device the image was taken with is still showing. This means it's not edited with software, editing usually leaves a trace notable through the exif or ELA (analysis below, click the link). I don't usually go on rants trying to defend people, and I'm not trying to be a white night here, but telling someone to give up on his anonimity to prove that he's female just doesn't sound right. Why would someone be trying to make people trust him by pretending to be the opposite gender in the first place? Who falls for that and what difference does it make? We should judge people by other criteria rather than their gender when it comes to business.

That makes sense, but it's under Gambling, which ARG puzzles usually aren't. I don't see anything there that doesn't require payment in some form. Any of the suggestions so far could be appropriate, depending on the design and goal of the game.

I think games and rounds would be an ideal board for that. It's the only board that encourages forum-based games. Even though it's a child of the gambling board forum based games are not necessarily gambling.

I would never expect  businessinsider to write such an article. It's not that I'm amazed by them writing about bircoin, but you don't usually see so big websites write about internet scams such as bitcoin ponzis.

Why has the return rate dropped so drastically in the last weeks?

I'm guessing that it's because of their absence. I have been waiting for a reply for weeks now. I have ~10 DRK that were sent to my address but they never appeared into my wallet. I contacted playtin in the forum but no one has seen my mesage and the problem is still not fixed. People are losing their interest.

This doge coins getting really popular.

Doge coin was popular but now it's dead how ironic.

Sorry to inform you but dogecoin is not dead. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are traded through it each day.


Does that look dead to you? Between all the coins, it comes fourth in trade volume. It still holds ~1.95% of the total trade volume even though the price has plunged since the hype. Don't you think this is normal for an altcoin?

Whatever the case is, dogecoin is not dead. Even from a developing prespective, there are people who constantly work on improving it and interacting with the community.

Starting a bitcoin PTC service will definite make bitcoin more popular and spread it to more people .

And here we see necroposting at it's finest...

And the post has been removed by a mod already. Well done, mods. Smiley

Wow, spndr7 replied to his own post more than 4 years after he posted it. What a comeback man.
