Transformers: Age of Extinction
Release date: June 27, 2014 Box office gross: $302,138,400 Budget: $210,000,000
Only 1 movie making a Net profit of nearly $100 000 000 in a few days, and they still saying, they losing money on piracy. How greedy can you be?
Their royalties and copyright goes on for centuries, thanks to Walt Disney's court case findings, and they smile all the way to the bank.
It's a shame, and even a bigger shame, that we support them. {Me included} 13% of my total income goes towards them. {Movies / Rentals / Subscriptions}
Yeah, so wait let me get this right, these fuckers ask you to pay an expensive ticket to watch some shitty cookie cutter summer movie while I can barely pay my internet bills, so if you can't pay, you are condemned to not enjoy any new music or movies whatsoever, while these bastards get filthy rich. Just lol.

Choosing a president is the same sense of freedom you get when you have a choice to buy different toothpaste or cereal brands. At the end of the day is all the same shit remarketed. The powers that be use them as puppets and this is a well known fact these days. Inb4 tinfoil hat.

If you do the math is almost an obligation that the price goes a lot higher as the supply shrinks daily at ridiculous speed, and there's only more and more demand.

This makes me suicidal. Hope OP is all well and good. ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)

older people. Tried to explain to my parents, they just don't get it. Let alone grandparents. It's a waste of time it seems. But that's not the problem. Even regular joes just don't get it. "Where does the money come from?", "whats the intrinsic value?", and so on and so on. What's your experience with this?

I hope in the future such a thing gets a similar userbase as seen in ebay. Clearly ebay is the best when it comes to finding about anything, but these fucking taxes are ridiculous and if you sell stuff very sporadically you are prone to lose money with them.

I guess one of the flaws of bitcoin... this guy is gonna go free and clear because bitcoin is anonymous. The beauty of it and also the flaw in this case.
Bitcoin is not completely anonymous, but many media/news stories have incorrectly said it is. I thought it was basically fully anonymous? What aspect isnt? You mean when we fund the accounts or purchase bitcoin? "While the Bitcoin technology can support strong anonymity, the current implementation is usually not very anonymous." More info on anonymity: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/AnonymityIf you take certain precautions and pay the right price (pay for mixing services) then you can stay anonymous with bitcoin. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=362468.msg3878992#msg3878992Zero coin has it's own risks that are not related to anonymity, mainly that of getting enough users to use zerocoin. Another issue is that Zerocoin essentially uses blockchain.info's shared coin on every transaction, and this has proven to not be 100% anon. You are forgeting the biggest problem with ZeroCoin, if im not mistaken, it generates a file that contains a key that would give access to unlimited double spending, total control. You trust that this third party would destroy the key. This is insanely ridiculous. Im not touching ZeroCoin with a stick attached to a laser point if that was the case.

It seems pretty ridiculous to me that you would take shits in the middle of the city up high on there. What is this? The place itself doesn't make me mad as it seems full of toxic hair, dust, and pollution. What makes me irate is the fact he spends more in a month than I can make in a year. If I had that kind of money I would be chilling in some island, not in the middle of a city. The bloody bastard. Im Lucky I never put my 0.3 BTC in Mt Gox ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Would be too much to ask if they added like, not daily but maybe weekly updated blockchain file? Everytime someone new comes to Bitcoin, the first thing they say is how much of a pain in the ass it is to sync, unless they are using 3rd party wallets that is, but im too used to the simple niceness of the classic wallet to change ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

When it comes to menaces, my only realistic concern I can think off is someone (or a group off) extremely rich people (think the Bilderberg Group for instance) decide to fuck up Bitcoin for X reasons, buy an insane army of ASICS and aim them all strategically to go 51%++
What do you think of such sceneareo?
Yep, or regulate it to death so it won't be mainstream, or buy and sell large, random amounts frequently for an indefinite period of time to create intolerable volatility. Yeah, but also, I think sometimes people compliate it so much. What about good ol old school bribing? Let's say a super powerful wealthy entity starts a plan to bribe current stakeholders. Say, the Winklevii. They great approached by said super rich entity, and they get told that, if they sell all of their stake to said entity, they will recieve a ridiculous amount of interest as well. They do this with every single stakeholder. From an outside POV, if done subtly the price would go low for sure, but Bitcoin has taken a lot of blows already and recovered. What would have changed in this scenareo is that all the big stakes now belong to an institution with evil intentions.

... Silk Road, an online narcotics marketplace beloved of Bitcoin users,
Silk Road is a "beloved marketplace" for online narcotics. Just pitiful, really. ... I never used it but Silk Road is/was "loved" by many people. It is an amazing example of people using technology to allow the free market to operate. Not "pitiful", but truly incredible... If Silk Road 2.0 say it allowed BTC and say Monero... would you buy dodgy stuff with BTC or with Monero? Is BTC anonymous enough for such ends?

In any case, I still fall to grasp the concept of you owning all of your wealth at home. Im so used to have my (little) money in banks that I would be scared to have all of it at home. In a scenareo without banks, your house becomes a big ass target. Not me as im broke, but for someone that is a Bitcoin rich guy, I would be scared knowing there are millions in some USB or paper wallet in my room, it's like asking for it.

But beyond mining cost what dictates the price is simply the demand for it. If there isn't demand, the price would drop, ultimately is all supply and demand. Again, you are also ruling out bribing existing stakeholders thus being replaced with these new stakeholders with evil intentions. These are fat fetched scenareos but not by definition impossible.

The NSA could attack at a hardware level, then shit would get legit real.

But since Bitcoin is not yet stablished that could kill any trust into it. If they keep them, they can continue manipulating the market indefinitely just like they do now with FIAT. Seems like a dead end to me.

"In finance, to corner the market is to get sufficient control of a particular stock, commodity, or other asset to allow the price to be manipulated. Another definition: "To have the greatest market share in a particular industry without having a monopoly." -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornering_the_marketSomeone with billions of dollars could perhaps corner the whole Bitcoin market. On the other hand, what would happen to the price of Bitcoin? First it would go up probably during the cornering operation. What would happen after that? This is what i've been saying. Check this out: http://stopsyjonizmowi.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/bilderberg.jpgLet us imagine these ally to buy as many ASIC machines as possible, and buy as many existing coins as possible. Only to sell them again at ridiculously low prices with the purpose of crashing the economy. This may be far fetched but not impossible technically speaking.

Wonder if it can break the record as the most valuable asset ever in 10 years, if adoption gets serious and price per BTC goes nuts. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I still think the hashing power could have been designed in a way that you can contribute with it besides maintaining the network, for disease research and whatnot. I wonder if this could take too many resources or it could be done in a parallel approach.

unfortunately thailand itself is too unstable and full of corruption at all levels that it would be impossible to run a legitimate bitcoin business there
This. Bitcoin will not magically solve stuff, we still need politics, people will continue corruption in fiat or Bitcoin form.

Just lol. We need more information for us to help. You need to describe what kind of game, then probably buy a template to use if you are code iliterate.
