BTCS is the FIRST and ONLY publicly traded BTC-related Company. It's failing. More bad press for BTC. 

Just because this company (which I have never heard of before today) fails isn't necessarily bad for btc.  A quick browse thru their site shows prices much higher (at least for cell phones) than I could find on eBay or elsewhere.

Has anyone kept up with the only publicly traded Company in the BTC space, "BTCS?" I talked to the Company's PR guy...who is about to be out of a job. The Company raised 2 million to start off, the stock went to $5.26 and now it's at $0.15. Penny stock nightmare and a little more bad press for BTC.   

What did they even do?  If no one knows about them its no wonder their stock is bottoming out

I have spoken with an investor in Nigeria.  He is going to be pushing the price up beyond $1k.  As soon as I send him my wallet details and private keys, the price is going to sky rocket.  Brace yourselves people.

Hahaha thank you for this.

Seriously, how often do people on here make "insider" predictions which never come true.  Come on people, enough with the lame attempts to stir up a panic sell.

I think buying altcoins directly hurts the BTC market cap, and therefore its value in USD.  As for the use of crypto in general, I think it benefits BTC.
686  Economy / Speculation / Re: Does BTC Value Even Matter for Whales? on: April 17, 2014, 05:39:01 PM
Yeah by people why know they can make a quick profit by pumping and dumping, and are not concerned with the price rising to new highs
687  Economy / Speculation / Does BTC Value Even Matter for Whales? on: April 17, 2014, 05:29:48 PM
I have been holding and waiting for a good opportunity to buy more BTC, but recently started to realize that the value of BTC might not necessarily rise like it did last year.  The value does not have to go very high for "whales" to make money.  They just need to get in and out at the right time.

So is it just me or does it seem like the recent swings in BTC price are being controlled so that people can still make money while keeping the value down?

I'll offer $150 shipped (im the the US).  Only reason I offer that is cause I see one locally on craigslist same deal but also includes Zombies U for $160.
690  Economy / Goods / Re: [WTS] Nintendo Wii U Deluxe Set with New Super Mario on: April 14, 2014, 07:57:06 PM
Still have this for sale?
691  Economy / Speculation / Re: "I guarantee there will be another Bitcoin price bubble" on: April 08, 2014, 06:42:35 PM
$4000 by the end of July.

Let me guess, you were one of the people going around saying "new all time high by April" too?

The next few days & weeks will be even better.
We are due for good news to take over soon.

Hasn't everyone been saying that for the last 3 months?  Like when Overstock started to accept BTC?  I mean there still has been no movement but slow deflation of its value

Hasn't everyone been saying that for the last 3 months.
We are clearly 3 months closer to the actual bottom.  Cheesy

So any call on the actual bottom? I almost pulled the trigger for buying about 10k worth at 580, then thought I'd wait a week, then saw 500, now 460. The bottom could be here, or could go back to $100. I don't see any reason for the bottom to be here now.

The only thing that might change that is some major retailer starts to take btc and offers some sort of incentive to shop with btc.

I mean even with places like overstock and pro sports teams (sacramento kings) taking btc, the price has just slowly been declining

694  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin: Fad, or here to stay? on: March 25, 2014, 03:32:11 PM
I'd say its here to stay in some way shape or form.  Someone even posted a video of billionaire investor Kevin O'Leary talking about bitcoin on an investing show in which he said he though it was here to stay.  His reasoning was:

1) it hit $1 Billion market cap
2) people started to actually exchange physical goods for bitcoin

And this was about a year ago when he said this, way before it hit the new ATH of over $1000 and before places like Overstock started to accept BTC.  I'd say he knows what hes talking about

The seller on here and cryptothrift ecoinsinc sold me some Starbucks ecodes and they all went bad.  So basically he stole .40 BTC from me.
696  Economy / Economics / Re: In order to drive the price of Bitcoins up! on: March 10, 2014, 04:56:36 PM
I've said this before, that in order for people to adopt BTC there needs to be some sort of advantage over using their credit/debit card.

For example if Overstock started offering free shipping on all bitcoin orders, more people would surely acquire some BTC in order to take advantage of the offer.  That would get lots of people interested in using BTC.  Currently if you dont already have BTC, there is no real point in going through the hassle of getting some just to go make an order on Overstock.

I don't dispute that there is plenty of so called "horizontal variation" within species, but there just is no physical evidence to back evolution as it is stated. 

Earlier in a thread I linked to a study that observed E. coli evolving into salmonella. I would call that physical evidence.

Googling "ecoli evolving into salmonella" doesn't seem to pull up any sort of hard physical evidence.  But even if this was "observed" does that allow you to infer every creature in history has undergone this process?

I am still wondering what your theory is as to why hundreds of millions of years of "evolution" occurring over 8 million species did not leave a trace of one mutating or "evolving" into another completely different species.

If you guys want to hinge your view on "evolution" on single celled organisms and bacteria, which really don't prove anything, then I would have to question your logic.

Again, I will ask you for some sort of hard physical evidence of hundreds of millions of years of these single celled organisms becoming all 8 million species we now know today.

I'm still awaiting your logical explanation of stasis in the fossil record:

Easy: "Punctuated Equilibrium"

http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evosite/evo101/VIIA1bPunctuated.shtml


Again, a quick Google search will turn up the current scientific theory as well as the ranting and ravings of butthurt creationists.


Your cartoons, although cute, have still failed to show a shred of physical evidence.  And I dont buy the "relatively small population size, the rapid pace of change, and their isolated location" caused the "lack of preservation."

But to sum up your cartoons, you are saying:  over the course of 100 million years, a small amount of a species ran away from the others like them, then mutated into a better or even new species, and then re-incorporated and caused their old friends to go extinct?

And please, that little graph on the bottom about single celled organisms proves nothing.  Please tell me you can find something better than that.  I just don't buy the idea that over hundreds of millions of years, and that of 8 million or so species, none have left evidence that they all came from a common ancestor.

I don't dispute that there is plenty of so called "horizontal variation" within species, but there just is no physical evidence to back evolution as it is stated.  There is plenty of MONEY behind evolution, propagating its theories and assumption and guesses, but sorry there is no hard evidence.

Now we are back to preaching (which is where this always ends up).

The bullshit does not smell any better now than it did forty some odd years ago when the attempt was made to force feed to me at the age of eight.

Your god is a manifestation of your own imagination and this existence is both your heaven and your hell.  Holding out for something better on the "other side" is wasting the only life you are going to have with any degree of certainty.   Cool

I'm still awaiting your logical explanation of stasis in the fossil record:
Stasis: Most species exhibit no directional change during their tenure on earth. They appear in the fossil record looking much the same as when they disappear; morphological change is usually limited and directionless.

As well as how you think abiogenesis came about only for that one exception to "start life"

The Law of Biogenesis

Spontaneous generation (the emergence of life from nonliving matter) has never been observed. All observations have shown that life comes only from life. This has been observed so consistently it is called the law of biogenesis. The theory of evolution conflicts with this scientific law when claiming that life came from nonliving matter through natural processes.

Evolutionary scientists reluctantly accept the law of biogenesis. However, some say that future studies may show how life could come from lifeless matter, despite virtually impossible odds. Others say that their theory of evolution doesn’t begin until the first life somehow arose. Still others say the first life was created, then evolution occurred. All evolutionists recognize that, based on scientific observations, life comes only from life.
