Yes a Unicorn Revealed himself to me and said "Pssstt... Buy Bitcoins, You Be Millionair in 2 years "
So i did.

It is not possible to collect 670,000 BTC, as he first heard about Bitcoin in mid-2011. No chance.

Had he started collecting them in 2009, there was still a small chance.

Bears are struggling to pull this castle down. First grip it gets to go up it's gonna hit with momentum again. All the senators at home buying bitcoins now they know the code breakers cant break the encryptionz

LTC about to hit double digits.  They might be early not late.

That is also what Charles Ponzi and Bernie Madoff claimed.

And age verification.

There is a major problem with porn sites.
I have a friend which owns a few and he knows a few guys in this business. He even went to the Budapest convention this year. I've been bugging him a lot about bitcoins but i finally got an answer.
This below will sum up the icq conversation they had.

The problem , apart from the recurring fees , is the anonymity of the user.
One of the managers of an affiliate program , one of the biggest after Manwin , (i'm not going to name him for obvious reasons) said something like that:


The moment we accept bitcoins and not credit cards there will be a kid somewhere buying access , and there will be a parent catching him in the act and a newspaper telling the story.
It downs't matter that the kid could have watched porn for free on a tube , downloaded it from free or anything else.
In that moment a mob of angry activist will hammer us with lawsuits into oblivion as we don't already have enough problems with them.
And in the end , something like , we won't risk getting into trouble for a 10% increase in sales , a 20% increase because there will be no charge backs and a 50% decrease because of recurring payments.

Of course i think this would be a total different story about videochat websites but .. i don't know and have nobody i know in  that business.

READ WHAT I WROTE DONT JUDGE TOO FAST

we need to have bigger drop so that this would qualified as a bubble pop so no use to vs april here.

Sorry matey, them Ferrero Rocher are classy chocolates used by diplomats, aristorcrats and premier league footballers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMlP_Moo0bE

I think you should save up, get rid of the fast food junk for a day, and try some. Same with the cheese on sticks, you wouldn't find the queen stuffing her face with her fingers, classy folk like us use chip forks.

Now scoot buddy, before I call security!

You mean selfish people who refuse to pay a four-penny transaction fee? Nah, it'll just (hopefully) weed out selfish people who refuse to pay a four-penny transaction fee.

Perhaps they're all eating dinner at the same time.

But there's definitely a good reason why they've slowed drastically atm.

Earlier today when I turned on fiatleak they bought about about 20 times less than the US over a 15 minute period. 

This post is a "funny" way of explaining (using metaphorical case studies) how I feel about that poll.

///  Hypothetical ways to give people a "choice" about not actually unsubscribing from your spam mailing list, or making sure they get the carrots they secretly actually want, despite any reservations they have about your vegetables.  ///

After clicking the unsubscribe link on an uninteresting email much like countless others you've been getting... basically you're annoyed by this type of email on a daily basis... your computer opens up the unsubscribe link in your default browser, and displays a website with the following text:


After quickly looking at the unsubscribe page in your browser, you see the word "unsubscribe" followed by two "select one" radio button options:

• Yes
• No

... upon further study, you discover a few pre-checked checkboxes, and more than one button:

In the margins of the page, there are some checkboxes with various strangely worded options, many of which include "but", or "instead", or "please", and MULTIPLE buttons labeled "submit", and a single button labeled "cancel"

In a situation like this, who can really say what the correct action even is to get them to stop sending you "fancy widget product promotion reminder notices" (spam)

Does the cancel button cancel your attempt at unsubscribing?

What is the purpose for the Nth "submit" button near the 3rd cluster of multiple-choice buttons?

Another hypothetical scenario:

A person has a controversial idea about farming a particular variety of carrots, and there is an opinion poll with various options:

• {1}  (...) don't plant these abominations of nature
• {2}  I don't like carrots (...)
• {3}  We should grow potatoes (...)
• {4}  Great, I like carrots
• {5}  (...) let's get these carrots planted everywhere next growing season
• {6}  (...)

The language can be used to manipulate the voter's thoughts away from carrot farming, and depending on the text which gets substituted in place of "(...)", any choices for these options could potentially be invalid due to a confusing & therefore flawed methodology.

Just as an example, let's say the word substitutions are as follows:

{1}  (you're not a very experienced carrot farmer ...)
{2}  (... but I agree we need to plant carrots)
{3}  (... but I guess the farming needs to move forward with carrots anyway.)
{4}  -- generic option to express support without bias or confusion --
{5}  (you looked pretty cool in those television commercials ...)
{6}  -- generic option to express strife, due to controversy about the carrot farmers --

Now, the "actual" (hypothetical) final text used for an option poll about carrot farming, as well as the results of our now somewhat confusing poll:

• {1}  (you're not a very experienced carrot farmer ...) don't plant these abominations of nature - 107 (43.3%)
• {2}  I don't like carrots (... but I agree we need to plant carrots) - 20 (8.1%)
• {3}  We should grow potatoes (... but I guess the farming needs to move forward with carrots anyway.) - 21 (8.5%)
• {4}  Great, I like carrots - 38 (15.4%)
• {5}  (you looked pretty cool in those television commercials ...) let's get these carrots planted everywhere next growing season - 45 (18.2%)
• {6}  this idea came from someone with the wrong skin color, a controversial world view, their political affiliation directly opposes mine, or they otherwise automatically have bad ideas, so it doesn't matter what they want to farm - 16 (6.5%)

Total Voters: 247


Different poll, using a non-hypothetical bitcoin-related topic instead of carrot farming or the opt-out forms used by promotional mailing lists:

• You're an idiot, don't do this!
• I don't like this, but I agree we need to move forward with it.
• We should have waited longer, but I guess it needs to move forward now.
• Great, it's about time!
• You're a hero, let's get this deployed everywhere ASAP!
• If it's from Luke, it can't be any good.
