I don't know why people say bitcoin is gambling. Its not gambling. You are investing your money and time. You use your internet. So its not gambling dealing with it.
Bitcoin is not gambling but many gambling sites use Bitcoin as a legitimate means of payment. So since many gambling sites use Bitcoin some lay people think that Bitcoin is a gamble. By those measurements the dollar, euro or any fiat currency are supposedly tools for gambling. |

Alright but the thing is that you have not sent your id. Send your id and your money is back!
I feel that if you deposit 1 btc to their site you should be able to take out 1 btc without first having to get verified. |

I would say it's the other way around, banks (with support of their respective governments) can make bitcoin "disappear".
And by disappear I don't mean ending the network, but enough regulations could really mess with the price and usability of btc.

Received smoothly as always  i didnt received yet, in italy we will get airdrop after 6.00 pm?
Are you checking the right address? (multiple addresses in wallet?) |

Maybe it's not a problem for some people, but lot's of people aren't comfortable handing over all their personal info to an exchange.
Decentralized exchanges are the future.

Banning or restricting ico's doesn't mean banning bitcoin.
China hasn't banned bitcoin, and I doubt Korea will ban btc.

So is the poll in the OP binding? The outcome of the poll is how it's going to be done?

I think its more likely to be a bear trap but I only say this because I come from a parallel universe that has already invented time machines.
But in all present reality, the problem is this:
If BTC goes too much about $5k, it loses a lot of its utility as cheap way to send money. It will then simply be just another financial instrument of the rich. I know Wall Street could care less about using technology to help those less fortunate than themselves, so I see the potential for Wall Street dollars to keep flowing in like blind mice.
Point of the story: It's not a bull trap or a bear trap, its a range of $3500-$4500, approximately.
We're already past that, btc is not a cheap way to send money. Maybe if we're talking big transactions. Fee's are somewhat ridiculous already for a usable "currency". More like store of wealth now. |

Can someone tell me how to unlock wallet?
I cannot find that option and want to export keys.
walletpassphrase <passphrase> <timeout> after that you can dumpprivkey <address> |

Nah one of the worst ways in my opinion.
Project creators that call themselves devs (obviously some are good devs, most aren't though) get paid 10/100 /1000 times what normal devs are getting paid.
They are raking in millions of dollars before even doing any development.
On top of that there's a constant stream of ico's asking for money.
All in all it's getting pretty annoying.

I think they ban bitcoin and then they will create another coin for China region, after the price going big, goverment will play they role. They will release their new coin to world and earn big profit with easier way
They have their own coin already, it's called the Yuan. They aren't worrying about profit, they are just worrying about not being able to regulate people. |

There is absolutely no way that will happen. No government can completely ban bitcoins, They can announce that bitcoin is illegal but still if you have an internet connection and a VPN you can still buy,hold,trade btc. If a gov bans btc completely then that means it has to ban ALL btc wallets, and that is impossible to do.
How can you buy or cash out, if bitcoin is made illegal? There would be nothing but decentralized exchanges probably and no way of legal FIAT-BTC trading. |

You urgently need Bittrex... Cryptopia is ridiculous.
Until the coins are distributed it will be hard to get on Bittrex. Devs have mentioned before they can easily pay the fee to get on Bittrex if they want to. Other coins with airdrop like byteball, bitsend etc (and there have been many more) are also on bittrex/polo or bigger exchanges. |

If we're dealing with some kind of power outage, there'd be less hash and a lower btc price.
But if we're not taking that into account, it's hard to say, what would happen to gold or silver etc?
My guess is everything would plummet when there's a ongoing global disaster.
It's hard for anything to thrive in times like that, people have other things to worry about than the price of their investments.

The best way to get more publicity would be to partner up with an exchange and have them distribute the btx to all their bitcoin holders after the november snapshot like poloniex did with clam.
^^^THIS Start with cryptopia, +25000 addresses instantly. |

Nice thread. pubkey 0417CFA007645093E2CE921EFE766DAF65B7F3371B70DE449B90E628CBE7E0DED2D65E5EBCD01C3 7E9037DCBFD21B4563180A849E7EA6FC18CA70B2D71F78F4BA8
I actually wanted 1Bitcoin , but then noticed the character limit. So I'll take 1DoLLar  (if possible of course) |

Bitcoin itself can't be destroyed at this point in time I guess.
But it's value can be destroyed, if only the regulations become bad enough.

Depends on what coin, and how much profit you're looking for.
Typically you find a high volume exchange and a low volume exchange and try to buy cheap on the exchange with low volume.
Or a western exchange vs asian exchange.
Or keep tabs on a few high volume exchanges and just take advantage of the small price differences if you can.

I totally agree with you, and I've been making the same point for probably as long as I've been a member of bitcointalk. The opportunity cost is way too much. The other thing is that I get my paycheck in fiat, and everything I need is priced in fiat. There's no reason to buy bitcoin just to turn around and spend it. It has always been a speculative instrument to me and always will. It can function as a currency, but that's not really what its primary purpose is.
Bingo!!!!!! CURRENCY IS NOT THE PRIMARY PURPOSE. I wish more people understood this. It used to be thought of as a currency. Now people think twice before they spent bitcoin for useless stuff or small expenses. |

Of course this was never going to "stop" bitcoin. But it might cause a little slow down  |
