Sounds like a "psychic attack".

Award Satoshi the Nobel Prize in economics, that 'll flush him out! 

Advise your good friend that Bitcoin's an "internet currency" and that brick & mortar usage of Bitcoin is a bit of gimmick at this point. One should realize that Bitcoin is a protocol like e-mail and that its properties differ from fiat currencies like the USD and commodities like gold.

If traditional currencies are a butter knife then Bitcoin's a Swiss army knife. True, it's easier to butter your toast with a butter knife but it doesn't have the versatility of the Swiss.

This video I found in another thread is the perfect example of doing Bitcoin wrong and making it look like a gimmicky scam. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnm4xFC2xNo



 

Random numbers; what kind of ill concept is this?

I made a rage filled post using foul language with accusations of fraud, deception and malice on the Black Arrow ASIC thread. They cleansed it pretty quick. I felt less rage after posting it.

P.S.

I'll consider voting if you (OP) add rage as an option.

OMG BTC is going to $1300, we're rich!  

These guys knew they couldn't make the Feb 24th shipping date yet they still continued to sell pre-orders for that date. This makes it fraud an the TOS are no longer valid. The revised April 30th shipping date is also bullshit as it's the 10th today and they still don't have any chips yet.

Fucking lying sack of shit scam company!

I've sold Robocoin at least BTC1, no ID, no hand scanning, no probing. Then one day a bankster ATM showed up and Robocoin's cash dispenser was mysteriously malfunctioning. So I got the bankster ATM card from the exchange and use their armour plated machines to withdraw fiat for a higher fee. They are convenient.

"Bitcoin is fucking hell" -- We're going to turn the internet off now.

Just in case they do you might need something like this.

Bitcoin cat FTW!

If Microsoft can put a Windows key on every qwerty keyboard they can add BTC to Excel.

You can still buy handfulls of Dogecoins for pennies.

Upside-down cross, fail.

Bitcoin cat, win.

Hidden in plain sight for two years, ROFL.

I'm not sure if I laughed harder at this or the guy who mined the block embedded with the virus that reformats your 5 1/4 FDD on the 29th of every month.

Looks like it's over folks, back to paper money exchanged in person. 

Seems everybody respoding only read the title of the post. I'm guessing the network came under some sort of delay in service attack. Could the big banks be behind it? It matches their mode of operation.

The two graphs are dissimilar; two bubbles are clearly visible in the 1982 line before it dipped back to pre-bubble levels. A crash would be sub-bear market levels.

However, Bitcoin actually does resemble the nasdaq composite only repeated many times over, each iteration 10 times bigger than the last. A terrace effect if you will.

The market hit 420 USD/BTC and the bears wondered off in search of food and sleep.

10k USD/BTC (~1/10th of a % of the global currency cap.) in August without the USD crashing is my bullish prediction.

Then, a horrendous "crash" "the end of Bitcoin" they'll say as it dips back to 4.5K USD/BTC.

Edit 10 April 2014:

Looks like I fail at predicting the market

BTC @ $350 and continuing fall. The bears are out in force today.

Cold storage of keys FTW?

My 2¢

I suspect you're thinking of black body radiation. Dark matter is a whole different ball of yarn.

One cubic centimetre of "empty space" contains enough energy to boil all the world's oceans according to John Archibald Wheeler.

The best terminology is aether IMO as space or vacuum implies there's nothing when there's a veritable soup of particles.

Dark energy and matter arise from the scientists who are still in the dark in regards to plasma cosmology IMO.
