Well that has got to be a real winner.

The whole point of crypto-currencies is to disconnect them from fiat currencies.

We don't need to prove anything.
 If you don't like Bitcoin, then find another forum, but don't come crying to us when your dollars go the way of the Bolivar.

There is a shift towards on-line sales, but only for those people who aren't concerned by the possibility of eugenics by the globalists. I'm not surprisedto see Unilever supporting it. They put forward Brexit as a reason for a proposed increase in the price of PG tips tea, and at the same time Tetley had a lot of tea offers, some as much as 50% off. Looking at the current attempts to dump PG tips through the supermarkets at the moment, it looks as if the British public is wise to their tricks.

As sales are concentrated into a few major retailers, we will see quality dropping and prices increasing. I, for one, will not buy food on-line, and certainly not from organisations that introduce toxicity into edible products.

I suspect that it is now mainly bots. I started a Happy Christmas thread, and it dropped onto page 2 fairly quickly. This is the only forum that I visit that doesn't have an active Happy Christmas thread.

I'd like to turn off sig banners, but keep text signatures. Is this possible here?

It's better to help them to use Bitcoin to escape debt, than to give to big Pharma via "healthcare". Most of the poor and needy beggars in the UK seem to have high end phones, so using Bitcoin shouldn't be a problem.

That statement shows the value of their comments. We are now in an era of negative interest rates for fiat "currency".

The other fact to consider is that if they really thought it had a zero value, then they wouldn't be buying it privately.

Happy Christmas ( holiday) to all you Bitcoiners.
Lets hope Santa has an air drop when he announces Crimble coin ( well everybody else seems to have a coin these days.

Isn't this the truth. Just ignore FrightJoe, and submit transactions with lower fees. Let the CryptoMafia waste their money trying to destabilise Bitcoin

It will be interesting to see how Bitcoin is used when 90% of the coins are locked in the vaults of the bankers and the Deep State. I'm almost tempted to start mining.

Why has it got to be "either/or", why can't they co-exist?

Looks like a smart move, and Belarus is part of the Russian empire. Welcome to the new world order.

Easy solution - start a mining pool, and give members priority for their transactions.

There is no fraud in Bitcoin itself. The fraud comes from the misuse, carelessness or theft associated with any payment system.

Make sure your computer system is secure.
Try to avoid any of the Bitcoin"banking" services, such as on-line wallets.
Make sure that anyone you send coins or money to is legitimate.

But their primary motivation is to create their own coins. Bitcoin is peanuts in comparison to their potential gains from this.

I like it when it drops, because I get more Bitcoin for my sales. However, I suspect there is a temptation to use fiat rather than Bitcoin when the price has dropped.

If I sell a domain name, and the buyer pays me in Bitcoin from his wallet, then it will have zero impact on the price. It is only people exchanging Bitcoin that will move the price. Buying goods with Bitcoin means that you get more for your money, as you don't have to pay for the exchanges spread, or to pay tax.

Restricting new accounts to the beginners forum could be helpful. Maybe there should be a 50 post minimum before posters can spam the discussion forum.

It's just shaking out the guys who sold their houses/phones/dog, or max'd their credit cards to buy coins. The bankers like to create debt because debt is slavery. Once they have cleaned out the junior speculators, they will be back to buying again.

Coins being bought and taken out of circulation by the central bankers.
