To the OP, are you planning on adding any new changes to the website?

This has been one of my most favorite Bitcoin services for a long time.

If you have an issue with this service or a concern we talk like adults. I understand most people here are still in their teens but that doesn't mean you weren't raised to behave like a human. If you show some respect you get respect shown back.

lolwat

Also, where are the games?

Are there any advantages to use a mechanical keyboard other than "feels good man" and "dem clacks"?
8749  Economy / Economics / Re: What would happen if everyone got 1000 USD every month? on: December 09, 2012, 12:38:53 PM
I was sat in a cafe recently and on the next table to me was what I call a "Mother Daughter". The mother was a pensioner (a senior). The daughter had travelled a couple of hours to catch up with her mum.

The mother spent most of the hour I was in there complaining that her pension did not go as far as it did in the past. Clearly she was struggling to maintain her standard of living.

Imagine what is happening here in macroeconomic terms.
She is being given, say, $1000 a month to maintain her standard of living. She is not expected to produce anything in return for this.
This is as per the OP's proposal.

The government in the UK has to print a considerable proportion of its spending every year to provide these "tickets" that we call pounds. You call them dollars in the US but it's the same thing !

In the UK the government deficit is about 10% so:

+ At the beginning of 2012 she receives $1000 a month and there are $X trillion tickets in the economy.
+ At the beginning of 2013 she still receives $1000 a month but now there are $X * 1.1 trilliion tickets.

(I am ignoring the measly 1% pension rise per annum they are getting are the moment).
If everything stays the same, she is poorer in terms of purchasing power by 10%.

Printing tickets and handing them out is no substitute for real goods.




Very interesting write up, I did not know this before.

Can you explain more in depth how she is poorer in terms of purchasing power?

I didn't write it, but I would say the reason is this:

Quote
In the UK the government deficit is about 10%

And maybe I should read up on UK politics. I just know that it's neither what it is in the rest of the EU, nor in the US, but while they have a nice currency they seem to still mess up more than both of them, when it comes to money <-> living, regardless of whether you are poor or rich, which is why I never got into that. Other countries seem to do better, but maybe they are just in between and have a good main street. jim618, are you living in the UK. Can you compare it with the US and/or the EU (I mean countries like, France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Finland, Sweden, Norway, not Greece, Spain or Italy). Already got so much to read up on and would be happy to know the rough differences. Wink

Oh, I see. A 10% trade deficit means they owe other countries 10% more than they own, right? Or am I understanding this wrong?

What does 60% mean?  You will pay $30 worth of bitcoin, or you will pay $80?  Why would anyone take that much of a loss?

Let's say you received an iTunes gift card for your birthday.

You don't use iTunes, so you have no use for it. You're also not very smart, so you'll sell it at a 40% off price to this guy to get some Bitcoins.

Well, the thread was about Crysis 3, but I thought I should ask for other popular games. I forgot that Battlefield 3 was never on Steam to begin with.

You're right, it's on Origin. Just keep looking, you might find a discount code on the Internet or something.

Hi guys, I'm looking for a Steam account created in 2003. You must have the original email, as well as proof of purchase for games (no games at all would be very good).

I am paying very well for one of these accounts.

Please send me a private message now with your SteamID (looks like 0:X:XXXXXX, find it with http://steamidconverter.com/), if you have a Steam account created in 2003.

Thank you!

8758  Economy / Digital goods / Re: Interest Check: EDU Email Addresses? on: December 08, 2012, 05:25:50 AM
Hey,

Is there any interest in US .EDU email addresses? I'm not talking about those crap ones you can find by Googling either. A lot of people use EDU email addresses for 6 months of free Amazon Prime and a hefty discount on the renewal. I believe you can get a better dropbox account with a EDU email address as well.

There are a few sites that have open registration which most people don't know about. I was planning on selling the information on how to get to the site and maintain your email successfully in a small e-book. I'd sell it to about 15 people PER web address. I was thinking each package would be 1 BTC per.

So is there any interest in this?

Thanks

Edit: I'd probably put them up on BitMit.net and once they're sold out they're sold out. That way everyone can have escrow until they get the file. Smiley

When you're finished writing the ebook, send me a copy and I'll write a 100 word review to boost your sales through the roof.

Sadly he didn't have Battlefield 3.

Be patient, and keep looking. Maybe change the thread title to Buying Battlefield 3? Smiley
