If you are only accepting paypal, then why did you even post this on bitcointalk where everything is ideal paid in bitcoin or cryptocurrency? Just baffles me really. Also, it's quite easy to get paid in cryptocurrency than paypal where every transaction is actually reversible. Maybe this is the time you try to use crypto than rely on centralized money like fiat and paypal!

The short-run effect is indeed not very much felt at the time the sell offs happened in January and February. However, the sear number of bitcoins they are offloading has really caused a great increase in the supply of bitcoins after they unloaded for already three straight months in effect that has offset the initial demand for it hence the price drops. I guess everybody had their fill when Mt. Gox trustees started to sell the bitcoins.

The new governor of Taiwan's central bank has said speculation has taken over from cryptocurrencies' original role as a payments tool.

Earlier this year, while still in his role as deputy chief of the central bank, Yang Chin-long indicated that the central bank has started the evaluation of the benefits and challenges of a central bank-issued cryptocurrency.

In responses to lawmakers at a meeting with the island's legislative arm today, though, he argued that cryptocurrencies are not fulfilling their originally intended function in payments, according to a report from Taiwan's Apple Daily.

Although he had "wanted to go in that direction," cryptocurrencies have since become a commodity with extreme volatility due to market speculation, he said.

The central bank is now observing experiments conducted in other regions and "doing experimentation," but "we can't go as far as announcing we plan to issue digital New Taiwan dollar yet," he said.

I guess there is some truth to it. Cryptocurrencies are far away from being used in commercial transactions or what it was intended for. It's merely being used for speculative investments.

So far, no site has really asked for my proof of billing. Also why would you not have ID yet? Are you a minor? That would be preposterous if you do not have any sort of ID yet if you are already allowed to gamble. What kind of ID takes three months? In my country, which I believe has the most inefficient government in the world, have no problems receiving the ID within a few weeks not months.

I'm still in the opinion that the guy is too old. What has changed over the 5 years he has not won a tournament that would make him win this year? All that is happening is that he is getting older and older each year and he can't do anything about it. The thing is, in sports the younger players will have the better chance of winning against the older ones.

Well after they exhaust all of those BTC they have in storage then likely prices will start going up again. Just basing what is happening right now, if they have dumped that much bitcoins and the price is still stable at $8,000 and above I do expect the price to really go up when they are done as the supply will again be a lot more stable unless satoshi comes back to like and sells his 1,000,000 bitcoins.

30 Bitcoins should not really be a big problem if this was from an exchange. If this amount was already a problem that would cause them to close down then that means this site is not liquid enough to operate a true exchange. I would not say they are giants as compared to other bigger exchanges around the world. If they are handing large amounts of bitcoins this should not have happened.

Extremely large amount of money for sure. A miner isn't cheap. Though I don't think it flew under the radar that easily. For sure it had some connections that would have prevented its discovery. Those guys would have probably profited a shit ton from this, as electricity accounts for like half of the cost of operating the whole thing aside from the cost of hardware.

A large illegal facility for mining bitcoin was discovered by police in the Russian city of Orenburg. The farm has been set up on the premises of an abandoned factory. The masterminds of the crypto project have stolen electricity worth 60 million rubles. They risk years of imprisonment. 

One of Russia’s Biggest
Investigating unusual consumption of electricity, police in the Russian city of Orenburg came across one of the largest facilities for cryptocurrency mining in the country. The unknown miners have illegally set up their farm in a closed-down plant, plugging the cables into the nearby transformer station.

In what Russian media described as “a scene from The Matrix”, investigators found racks upon racks of mining processors. The farm was equipped with powerful application specific circuits, and not the ordinary video cards, used by amateur miners.

That is a lot of stolen electricity and for sure the people that operated these mining farms are for sure rich as hell now!

Yes and no. The thing is no country would agree with just one currency hence even if all the banks would be using one cryptocurrency then the governments will not agree with it. There might be a time though that everything is already in cryptocurrency form. Everything will be tokenized that we can buy water with water coin and buy food with food coin or something like that. In effect, your water coin will be worth the same wherever you are unlike if you have a dollar. A dollar may be able to buy a bottled water in the US but not in Africa where water is scarce.

Great to see that you guys just revived a topic from August of last year with the latest post was also from that time. Nice. Sarcasm

Bitmixer has been gone for a long time and the OP probably don't even ready any of the suggestions you people have placed here.

Well, I don't think people that got loans do not have other properties aside from the bitcoins they bought. But that would cause it to be another bubble like the housing bubble that happened back then. That bubble burst because in reality no one was really living in those homes but just being used as a speculative investment, much like bitcoins would be if people will max out loans just to buy bitcoins. I don't think it would happen again as banks and other credit services would have employed some sort of safeguards already.

Awesome! Sent payment first and received it asap, as expected from OgNasty.



Now to buy something.

Thanks again OG.

Waiting to receive the coupons

A quick google search would have answered your question real quick and without the hassle of posting, waiting for an answer, checking, and reading the answer. Next time be more resourceful and stop being lazy.

Quit yourself means destroying yourself, apparently from what OP has suggested. However, in my opinion, this is quite hard to do as you are totally changing what you are it seems. But that is not possible, you are who you are. The best thing is still to just remove the negative traits you possess such as the addiction to gambling and all other negativeness. This is like you built a house, but the toilet is not working so you decide to destroy the whole house just to fix it.

Will thinking enough about cute puppies, rainbows, cotton candy, etc. change the fact that each time you roll on dice the chances of winning is 49.5% (assuming 1% house edge) to double your money? I don't think so. Silly question! The answer is too obvious!

Can you use all coupons for a single purchase? If yes, I'll buy them all if not I'll buy 1 x $100 coupon.

Since you named the website with a "pedia" on the end. I think it would be extremely better if you would create some sort of wikipedia version for cryptocurrencies, and better focus on that than news. The news though is something good, but should be a side business. It would be better to capitalize on your assets rather than go the more mainstream approach.

I don't think he is in it for the profit since he does not actually own the bitcoins he is holding. They are just selling them for purposes of liquidating the assets of Mt.Gox and not really trading for profit. This is just to pay off the debts of the company when it declared bankruptcy. Then they will just distribute what they got from the sale. I am guessing they have everything in record and no single penny will go to the guy who is liquidating it.
