Real question is why sell those LTC before MtGox introduction... ?

Because you know something that others don't... ?

MTGox said they don't know when the litecoin will be introduced...

How can they not know when they're the ones doing it? LOL Tongue

Amethyst Ring with a claw setting






Cubic Zirconia Necklace, gemstone for this one was put in with the point first, normally it's the other way round, the jump ring, necklace chain and gemstone are manufactured




I'll be making more of these necklaces guys and this one is up for sale, what I'd like to know is what you think you'd pay for them, I will take payments in Bitcoins to start with and maybe even consider Litecoins too, please post some feedback and comments.

Oh and if anyone is in the UK I thought I might plug my Jewellery teachers website here: http://www.pinkbutterflyjewellery.net/

No need for polymer, someone's already found out how to make some pretty fast concrete, much cheaper too.

This is a good list, it will let us keep a record of who our friends and enemies are in the financial sector, maybe you could also point out the ones that have been friendly to Bitcoin as well.

Edit: Oops didn't read the thread carefully since I'm tired, I see you've already done that Cheesy

Grats! What's interesting for me is this is exactly the kind of thing I calculated would happen with a deflationary currency so I'm glad to see some RL examples coming along finally, I expect to see more people buying houses without even needing a mortgage soon enough, hope things carry on like this for you.

LOL! noedaRDH! 1984 media? You'll find that on anything that will remotely stir up a debate or a journalists writes something stupidly outrageous like this video they'll disable the comments to avoid getting flamed, I do wonder if the OP has accidentally gotten him more attention because I think people like this belong in their own crazy corner where they can rave without bothering anyone.

Interesting idea:

Are you basically thinking of making a yellow pages on the internet for Bitcoin businesses?

If there hadn't been deflation during the late 19th century, none of that would have happened - no welfare state, no revolutions and no mad dictators leading to a world war that saw about 30 million dead.

I thought you were just being ignorant of history but now you're just outright making it up and using hypotheticals to get your way like a neo-keynesian does, I also love the hoarding argument, that's a classic one and has been argued to death, you seem to be completely ignoring all the businesses and people that are trading Bitcoin amongst each other.

To be honest franky1 is both right and wrong, I agree with him on the main points but FSA wise I should tell you that these guys are out to screw everybody who isn't one of 'them' it isn't really to do with Bitcoin but more to do with elitism. The bank of Dave documentary pretty much showed the FSA to be a rich boys club and wouldn't even meet with the guy to approve his bank and it was due to some lawyer trickery that Dave got the bank set up.

I had to actually look up what you meant by real and nominal there, I guess if I had to put it in those terms it would be individual, now you've made me even more suspicious of what's being taught to us at a young age because the kind of calculations can be calculated in such a way to benefit a certain side of an argument like with politics.

If you're curious, the reason I have such a distrust of textbooks ( I personally don't mind wikipedia that much because at least that relies on consensus most of the time, you just have to cross check it with other stuff ) is because I experienced the lies they hammer into your head when I was younger, a lot. Ever since then I've been reading up more and more all the different points of view countries put forward, particularly governments and it's amazing how much they fuck with even basic history. While it's at times subtle and they sometimes get the facts right, you'll find they often give different reasons behind what they did at the time but when it comes to stuff like the economy they'll blatantly bullshit you and change the topic rather than go into any detail of what happened, like with money printing or William of orange, William of orange is my personal favourite because it's pretty simple, the British think they were there because they were peacefully colonizing the Irish and the Irish just see them as bunch of invaders trying to take their land.

TLDR:

. Some people here need to read up on history that isn't from the point of views of government sponsored/regulated schools and texbooks ( seriously, they lie to your face )

. In an unregulated and deflationary economy employers couldn't drop the wages so low that people would be forced to work for longer without consequences to them personally, that and the limited nature of deflationary currencies wouldn't allow for it mathematics wise

Remember that in deflationary systems, wages fall as well as prices. So you'll still have to work as long! We're in a semi-deflationary period now, with minimum wages frozen and zero hours contracts and juicy salaries only available to the elites.

Something tells me you don't really know what you're talking about and I found the answer with the history you cited, the depressions experienced during that time were a result of massive hyper-inflation of the likes you saw in the great depression later on towards World War 2 both involved massive amounts of money printing of the kind that you saw the Weimar Republic churn out in the hopes of fixing the economy. The problem is money printing does nothing, it temporarily causes prices to rise and wages to rise and then everything comes crashing down. While this is deflation it is deflation and inflation that has been artificially created by central banks which because of the scale causes the massive and total collapses that you see of economies because rather than letting the poorly run companies etc. go out of business they steal everyone else's wealth to keep them going and of course because they are poorly run everyone ends up losing out entirely and the paper becomes worthless.

The idea of deflation is that prices go low and you guy buy things with much less currency than you would normally have to if the currency was inflationary, with deflationary economies you shouldn't be able to have prices going so low they are worth nothing because in a deflationary currency like with Bitcoin there is a limited supply so they will be valued to someone at a given time, gold and silver is also like this which is why they have been used as currencies for centuries. As for wages in general, if the wages go that low and the employer is forcing their employees to work for longer than that is a bit like what central banks are currenctly doing with inflation and interest rates, anyone with sense is going to find someone else to work for in that situation but unless they banded together there is no way the wages in a deflationary economy could go that low people would have to work much longer without them noticing.

Adding to that, deflationary wise I can start providing examples of deflation with real life examples, I calculated that if I sold silver Jewellery I'm making in Bitcoin I would be able to make far more profit than if I did it in paper and it was because Bitcoin, after all the fuss and rants of neo-keynesians is still having much more value than paper. For sure, inflationary paper money causes nothing but grief and is nothing more than an extremely clever way devised by ultra rich central bankers to steal other peoples wealth without getting into trouble.

In short, your history is wrong, you need to study what isn't just in school textbooks and told to you by teachers.

I think what it is, is some hackers who really have it in for anyone who's adopting Bitcoin or openly using it, this doesn't seem like a smash and grab job to me like what we had before, I can connect to MTGOX now but I have been having trouble lately.

Adopt Bitcoin entirely and set up services like Bitspend to get round the problem, time for the movement to begin in earnest.
