I hope he sold them. The possibility of those thieves and scammers retaining significant bitcoin holdings down the road bothers me.
They own about 18-20% of all the bitcoins. Where do you get 18-20%? I calculate ~535,000 stolen/scammed coins (from this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=83794.0 ), which is 2.54% of the ultimate 21,000,000 coin supply (about 5% of the current supply). How do we know most weren't sold or spent? |

And that will just attract more investors.... just the sheer volume. We might be seeing thousands of people investing 50k at a time or something simply because the market is starting to handle that kind of wealth.
But don't worry, such inflow of capital into some "play money" will be noticed by other parties such as govt, so the bubble will be quickly deflated. And that should start another, steadier and healthier growth of bitcoin in the underground mode. Yeah they'll start a war on bitcoin like the war on drugs. That's working out, right? Sure. Demand is high and so are prices. |

The fact that US government could crush bitcoin in no time and the fact that they did not do it despite the fact that it clearly made it onto just about every agency's agenda is proof enough for me that Bitcoin already has the blessing of the US government.
(If you doubt that Bitcoin can still be destroyed, please put into relation the $250,000 economy to the $50,000,000,000 printed every month and what a tiny fraction it would take to pay 1000 smart guys to hack every garage shop bitcoin business, buy 20PH/s ASICS, launch child porn portals operating with bitcoin, etc. The window to shut Bitcoin down will not close until the Bitcoin market value is some orders of magnitude higher.)
What about basic human character flaws such as arrogance, complacency, incompetence, compartmentalization, and a little sprinkle of corruption? Many government agencies were responsible for the failures on 9/11, despite many warnings. Bitcoin must seem much less important than terrorism to the common man. IE. 'We can crush bitcoin any time we like'. "Maybe next term'. |

I don't believe anyone will horde to the point they'll perish. Eventually, you'll come up with a nice sum of coin and will want to put it to use; after all, why have wealth if it goes unused?
+1000. Howard Hughes type scrooges are rare in this world because most people just want to have nice things. Hoarding does not go on forever because people know they'll get old and die.
As for failing to spend because price is rising, I don't find that to be an issue. In fact, I spend more after a price rise, even if I expect it to continue.
Same goes for me. |

I think there are many such true belivers of BTC here, they even believe the BTC is going to take over the real world's economy
Not hard to understand, given that the 'real world's economy' consists (literally) of certain parties with the right to wish money into existence with no limits. |

Received my 1lb sampler of Brazil Mogiana last week, it is excellent brew. Highly recommended.

I purchased Company of Heroes Tales of Valor at a bargain price from TECSHARE. Would trade again. Quick response, helpful, and no bull.  |
|
|
|

As the title says.
Since I missed the sale of this, I'm willing to pay more than the average going price for it.
OR
I will buy game code for:
Company of Heroes Tales of Valor.

snus - but i heard some countries wont let it thru
i like the black salami, no idea whats the real name, is it really made of elk? i dont think so
Yeah, I'm probably not gonna send snus because it would take time for me to check if the destination country allows it or not and I don't want to get in trouble because of it  . I've never heard about black salami though, but I could look into it (Edit: Oh my, don't google this o.O) TOO LATE. i already did...then huddled in the corner for 3 hours.  |

Will you take $60 for the X8?
I don't want to spend a lot. Its for a friend who wants GPS app on a phone rather than a dedicated GPS.
|
|
|
|

That was the plan, to go with 3rd party app. Mainly it will be for off-road mapping. I wasn't planning to use this phone to make calls or send texts, so GPS has to work without getting any data.
Needs to be relatively quick with a decent processor in it, good size screen, and enough memory for all the GPS maps I'll need. 8-16 GB should do it. Or a micro-SD card slot.
Carrier doesn't matter. Especially if I can unlock it.

So pessimistic. There's many people of above-average intelligence frequenting the site.
They just don't post as much.

I'm looking an affordable android phone that supports Android Jelly Bean, has Cortex processor and at least a 3.5" screen. A-GPS sensor and wif is a must.
