Are you currently putting all your money into bitcoin?  If you say this, you show you believe it by your actions.  I am putting all my money into bitcoin - I see a possibility of $50-$100+ per coin this year.  Just think, once the "bankers" and hedge funds find out about this, we are going to the moon.  Once my bitcoins are $1,000+ I will be able to pay off my growing college loans and maybe get an apartment, and my first car Smiley


Putting your money where your mouth is means you are commendable
Since most of us here are more or less long term users of Bitcoin and think a google ceo mentioned 90% are holders 10% speculate we will remain the new wealthy elite.
Interesting, I've never heard that statistic before. Can anyone confirm this ?

I do agree though that the smart money is on holding, though. I'm all in and been holding for over a year and counting. No regrets so far.

I can partially confirm this for you its from a Forbes article so I consider it confirmable
I think it was a Google ceo quoting the guy since I recall reading that in an article a while back.
I can't remember where the original article is though but I believe it was based on this and the topic if I recall was about speculation services.

I always enjoyed playing the fairies since I always had the indian druid guy and the Sprites which were attractive enough plus the Elves and their double attack.
FIRST UNIT I TOOK OUT unless they had a phoenix (Then Armageddon to All of them including my own troops lol)
Late game use a skilled hero with high magic skills and send it off to suicide attack with Armageddon + a cursed item if I had one.
Recall Armageddon worked on Phoenixs but not on Dragons
Since the quests changed your Castle depending on what scenario you were playing.
That reminded me of how random the cannon fire when attacking castles were.
The Paladins Clanging sound was cool weakest ultimate hero for its HP but fast if I was lucky I mean real lucky my favorite troop was GHOST followed by Genies the best counter to Ghosts.



Go sexy sprites Smiley

So who remembers this one there was also that tower game as well with wizards can't recall its name atm.

How the hell does one unsubscribe from a thread?

You click the unwatch button on the side then you are unsubscribed
How was that related to the previous question?

It's not paranoia, you've got some research to do on hyperinflation Wink

Well hopefully before that appears the smarter people will have moved the money out to a safe location.
Depends on the banking system used though

this thread is going very slow, no one wants to win?

Think its just one of those threads where you run out of things to think up Tongue

Lets see

Bitcoin was made by a single person (Since we can't assume Satoshi's gender or how many people or if Satoshi = 1)

FC is selling chips to many parties, I can't imagine he how would he run away, dividend will arrive.

True there must be a few parties that know who Friedcat is personally.
We also know that he is delivering chips and that their are real products so that dividend will arrive Smiley

People in the U.S government no less talked about how much they'd want to shoot him, it's amazing really that Russia is more safe for him than the U.S given what we've been taught by western governments as children, John Kerry can shut the fuck up I agree, at least in Russia he's being treated as a human being.

Kerry is just embarrassed at how badly their dirty laundry got put out to air making them responsible to their citizens
That invincibility complex of being the government and always knowing best.
8310  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin jobs on: May 29, 2014, 05:27:24 AM
...A single enquiry would make me much more positive about the prospects for wider adoption....

There was recently a Bitcoin job fair with "more than 400 attendees and 34 startups".
That strong of a showing sounds like a healthy reason to be positive about wider adoption.

That's cool since I didn't know that there were job fairs now in Bitcoin
I would personally thing a Bitcoin job board would help to increase interest in Bitcoin related industries
Beyond the forums thread.
That said I think at this stage most jobs are either freelance coding or writing articles and transcribing than in sales and marketing
(For now)
Since we are seeing a lot of new startups and established companies like circle as the article pointed out developing the Bitcoin infrastructure.
8311  Other / Politics & Society / Re: A Society that can use system with Base wage on: May 29, 2014, 05:21:45 AM
A base wage is nice in theory as long as people still have an incentive to work and improve their own standard of living.
As in they do not just leech from the base wage perpetually and become a drain to the system itself.
Of course this means a higher rate of taxation so people should be able to enjoy a balance between a base wage and higher taxation to cover better quality services.
As for France it just overburdened the Rich with ridiculous tax rates no wonder they moved, any of these type of systems need to have a strong foundation to be built upon not a shaky one as a reaction for the country bad misaligned financial management.
8312  Other / Off-topic / Re: Savings/CDs on: May 29, 2014, 05:09:10 AM
In all the history of low interest rates that 0.001% is by far the lowest one I have seen and its per year not per month too.
I can't believe that the law even calls that a savings account just amazing.
Please go to your local credit union or switch banks that's an insult in my opinion.

Looks like a lot of people are complaining about it can't blame them your money can do much better anywhere else even a 30 day redeemable GIC.

8313  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Help us decide video about which bitcoin myth we should do next! Please. on: May 29, 2014, 05:00:29 AM
Yesterday we published our 3rd video of the series "Bitcon For Dummies". In each episode we try to explain in just few minutes a common myth or misconception about Bitcoin.
 
The first 2 got over 55 000 views in just few weeks. Which is kinda neat but now we want to figure out collectively with you which is the best myth to explain in the next one.

So, after those 3, what is actually bitcoin, how it's not really a ponzi, and what is its intrinsic value, what's the most irritating but common misconception you keep hearing about it?

Help!  Huh


I would say the History of Digital Currencies might be a neat one
Show people what Bitcoin came from and its roots and how it can potentially impact financial systems.
8314  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to get BTC Foundation out of Bitcoin development? on: May 29, 2014, 04:48:53 AM
Inspired by this thread, we're setting up the No Bitcoin Foundation. the domain bitcoin.foundation is already secured!

Well was looking around the forum and you seem active so I wish you the best of luck in your efforts
What is your alternative though
8315  Economy / Economics / Re: Quantitative Easing on: May 29, 2014, 04:30:06 AM
QE save not only the American economy, but probably also the world economy. Without it, probably the euro would have ended.
And since didn't provoke inflation, all considerations about its negative consequences didn't materialize (at least, yet).

Yes, it truly is amazing how ungrateful some of the people around here can be after they've been thrown a lifeline.

That lifeline comes with a long term cost in exchange for addressing the needs of the present
In other words money controls possibilities with the future held as collateral.
The goal of financial stability is to not sacrifice and throw away that future but to fix and solve the problems that need to be addressed today.
8316  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Snowden should 'man-up' and face trial: says SOS John Kerry on: May 29, 2014, 03:05:30 AM
One should now that in no way would the trial be fair and unbiased
The jury judge and executioner would not be anywhere in his favor
Kangaroo court (Maybe in 10-20 years when the impact is diminished)

Also Chelsea Manning. He exposed images of soldiers killing innocent people for sport and who's in a jail cell? I'll give you a hint: not those soldiers. Makes me fucking sick to my stomach.

Amen

Bitcoin Backers Work to Make it Mainstream
http://www.forbes.com/sites/techonomy/2014/05/27/bitcoin-backers-work-to-make-it-mainstream/

Why do you think fortune 500 companies now starting to support Bitcoin?

The future of Bitcoin is getting brighter and these type of crypto developments where larger companies like the Fortune 500 contribute towards building and making Bitcoin mainstream help towards the overall usability and reputation.

I look forward to what the future has in store for Bitcoin and related technologies.

8319  Other / New forum software / Re: Can we "Like" a post? on: May 29, 2014, 02:14:49 AM
How about the ability to "like" or "+1" a post?  To prevent obvious abuse, you must have positive trust and seniority to vote.

Well that would be a bit of an unusual function (If it was optional) and you had to manually click it as an option pane I would support this idea
Else I like the squid picture

8320  Other / Politics & Society / Re: you get Richer as the Older You’ll Get on: May 29, 2014, 01:55:46 AM
Well I guess we should have added the condition that you get richer the older you get if your income beats the rate of inflation and the devaluation of your dollar.
