so how many BTC did you buy? full disclosure ;-)

I came in with my $10k investment at $14.25. I have been jumping in and out as I saw things coming and going.

I have 866 BTC (was hoping for 1k before I held long but I see it going up quite a bit at this point).

Heh, I was just happy to break 500 last month. Wish I had 1k, too Smiley

By tonight, my Dwolla deposit should finally clear, meaning I should finally be able to make my next Bitcoin purchase. If the trend that I have seen since May continues, specifically that the price drops while I'm waiting for the transfer to complete, and then goes way up as I'm finally able to make a purchase, then expect the price of Bitcoin to continue going up until at least Tomorrow.
My next Bitcoin purchase will happen on Friday of next week, so I guess the price will drop considerable early next week, just to taunt me while I'm waiting for my money to clear again, and will go up again by Friday.
The universe wants me to buy high it seems. I also believe my analisys is at least as accurate at predicting trends as price charts.

The problem with all these claims is that, whether you are right or not, you're all pulling these figures out of your ass, with absolutely nothing to base them on. So, if it hits $20, or $8, or $2, yay for you, you guessed correctly. You still didn't actually contribute anything of actual value other than a guess, based on a hunch, based on nothing, with the sole purpose of irritating others.
I know you are, but what am I?  Tongue

The value of myholdings dropped quite a bit, since I've bought between $6 and $17, and one large purchase at $20, but I'm still buying. May buy another $3k worth in a week or two.

Very nice. I'll have to set one up for my savings, too.
Btw, I decrypt my savings wallet file about once a month, because I don't trust data integrity of backups. So, I decrypt it, test it, and encrypt it, making another copy of the file with the file name including the date of the time it was tested. This way i have a rolling backup with multiple copies of the wallet file in my backup locations. If there is some corruption and I can't open the newest file, I'll at least have some older backups to fall back on. I'm paranoid like that.

OMFG go take your meds. How do you get pedophilia out of this?

Huh, I guess you're right, referring to someone as a boy or girl in a romantic or sexual context doesn't make someone a pedophile.  I stand corrected.

Especially since that song has no mention of cakes, or them being delicious. Just some mention of honey...

If it weren't for child labor laws, you could put that fetus to work on your farm (which everyone should own in an ideal setting) and make it pay for itself.

If/when Virginia passes their "fetus is a full legal person" law, I am totally getting myself a frozen one in a test tube, and taking it with me when i go driving, just so I can legally use the HOV (>1 in car required) lanes.

Two questions:

- If he is or not pedophile, what does that add (or subtract) for the bitcoin world?!
- Since when one totally unrelated thing in the past makes anybody a pedophile nowadays?! «Hey! My mortgage scheme went down so I'm going to vent my disgrace over young boys'» Is this supposed to be the "logic"?!

Not a pedophile. I just reached my 30's, and I still refer to other guys as boys sometimes, and hate it when people refer to me as "man." Makes me feel old, and i definitely don't look it. Likewise, Bruce explained he just reffers to cute guys as boys, too, even if they're way above legal age. I think it's just a gay thing.

It was one of the best things to ever happen to me, and ummm.

Ah, you're a girl? Wonder why your parents freaked out then. Also, weird that they were all, like, "Nuuuu! You're not allowed to love everyone! Being indiscriminate in love is sick and disgusting! Jesus only approves of you loving specific people, since Jesus also only loved specific people, and spoke out against universal love ALL THE TIME!"

But whatever. I was a devout Christian Catholic, and an altar and quire boy (no, the priest never found me attractive enough). But I started questioning, found answers, and got better. Hope you do too. Hell, i'll even pray for your recovery.

Gay is fine, secondlife is criminal.

Not when you're on there to invest in casinos and shady banks/businesses, and use the proceeds to buy imported European smartphones before people here even know what a smartphone is. Now it's criminal, yes. Nothing to do there any more.

Also, sincerely hope the camp you were sent to wasn't a "pray the gay away" therapy. Not sure what other re-education camps churches have.

I have read a lot of people have problems with these types of programs but my time in therapy really helped me a lot.  I was just young and confused and didn't understand what I was doing to myself and my family and my relationship with God.

OMG *facepalm* Quite sorry that happened to you. Those places should be charged with criminal psychological abuse. Though judging by your MLP interest, guess it didn't fully work.

As for abortion, the fetus never signed a contract on that lease, does not even have the intellectual capacity to sign a contract, and is thus tresspassing. Worse, it is stealing resources from the mother without giving anything in return, like a socialist welfare queen. If not aborted, at the very least it should be extracted, frozen/preserved, and wait until it can be tried in juvenile could for its crime.

I hate you for being a secondlife-playing furry, but that shit is hilarious.

gay SecondLife lurker who is simply open to all types of porn. There's a difference XD

Man, religion ruins libertarianism so badly  Sad How can you be both for liberty, and for subjugating yourself to a monarch/dictator at the same time? Also, sincerely hope the camp you were sent to wasn't a "pray the gay away" therapy. Not sure what other re-education camps churches have.

Law has established that they don't have rights during the first trimester, nor is it truly at that point. 

The Supreme Court has made an error in the determination of who deserves full rights and who is a full human being, like when they created the 3/5ths compromise during the Dred Scott case.

And how would a Libertarian society deal with abortions?

The same way they deal with any other murder.

They would allow the family of the murdered victim decide on the punishment sufficient enough to compensate them for their loss?

LOL this thread just got derailed into the toilet Cheesy

All you people bitching about keeping government out of Bitcoin, you're forgetting that a legal system for solving didputes =/= government. I agree with Vladimir, that this seems like a case of contract law and tort, and is a pretty clear cut case. Even in a purely anarcho-capitalist society this dispute can be solved in a private legal court or through arbitration. Also, if you want capitalism, you need business, and if you want business, you need an environment where parties can trust each other and have ways to solve disputes. Up to you Bitcoin anarchists to figure out how that should work, but personally, I think (private?) courts and arbitrage would work well.

That being said, I'd love to see this end up in court and the defendant lose. Maybe that would even set a precedent for the similar situation that happened at MtGox, and allow them to pursue recovery if the money they lost to that withdrawal hasn't been recovered yet.

Wow, you know, I think I can trust, or be comfortable with knowing how much to trust, someone I know so much about, than some random person on the web... still kinda creepy though.

I don't understand the legalese stuff, but it comes from here:

http://mortgagefraud.squarespace.com/storage/bold%20funding%20final%20judgement.pdf

It's called a "Permanent Injunction and Judgement", what does that mean?

Judgement here I think means a decision against the defendant (Bold Funding) and permanent injunction just means ban from doing that specific type of business, permanently. Injunction is basically "stop what you're doing right now."

By the way, notice that document says "Default Judgement." That means that the suit brought against them was uncontested, and they lost by default (like sports teams who don't show up to compete). Not sure why it went that way, but it looks like the plaintiffs brought a complaint, Bold Funding answered, the judge didn't like the answer and struck it from court consideration, and then just ruled that everything that has been brought up against Bruce can stand, regardless of what the complaint said. Normally this happens when someone brings a complaint against the defendant, the defendant doesn't answer, and it is assumed that the defendant doesn't have any challenge to the claims, thus they are all true and can all stand. Here, Bruce's legal counsel was present, and Bruce did answer, but still got a default ruling? Just seems weird. Maybe their reply to the complaints was just REALLY bad, or maybe they just knew that the business was a total failure, and doing anything more with it, including spending more money on lawyers trying to defend themselves, would just waste more money at this point, so they just took the default ruling to save time. Bruce did mention that they didn't show up at the trial because their lawyer suggested they don't. I'm now wondering why.
