1  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Will miners in USA be able to remain competitive due to huge tax burden? on: April 04, 2014, 05:56:54 PM
I think the plan in the U.S. is to destroy Bitcoin by legitimizing it (enter the IRS). That way they don't have to look all totalitarian by banning it like other countries.
2  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin's 21million total coin supply hinders it immensely on: April 02, 2014, 10:56:54 PM
It would of been much better if there were different types of bitcoin, like bitcoin=1bitcoin, macrobitcoin=.5bitcoin, microbitcoin= .25 bitcoin etc etc.

Logic fail. The prefix 'micro' means one millionth. Period. Always has, always will.

There are already 1,000,000 microBTC (uBTC) in a bitcoin. There are 100 satoshis in a uBTC. There are 1,000 uBTC in a millibitcoin (mBTC). There are 1,000 mBTC in a BTC.

I fail to see a problem.

Problem is exactly what you said..mainstream society, which is Most of Society is turned off by all these "microbits" and "satoshi", it's too irregular. I have friends who don't care about Bitcoin but know the basics about it, wanna know why they dont care? Because bitcoin is offputting with all it's math, and the 21million total limit makes it seem as if the currency itself wasn't designed to be thought of seriously.

Why do you insist on speaking for "most of mainstream society"?

maybe this was mentioned earlier but what if my bitcoins were stolen? Does this IRS ruling mean the police will investigate the theft of my property?

"My coins were stolen and the thief keeps sending me computers and appliances to my home, I don't know how to stop him"

I'm pretty sure the IRS would like a list of all those computers and appliances and would think they deserve a piece of it.

I would rather not get paid in BTC, but I have been making an effort to buy $100 worth of BTC every payday.

Furthermore, if I have this taxable property shouldn't I get it insured? Yea, like that will go over.

let me just take a selfish POV, flame me if you must. If China was able to actually do this what benefits if any could be expected from miners in the rest of the world? Obviously I'm imagining a huge drop in network hashrate? Or the loss of an entire nation could bring it all crashing down?
7  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Where and what did you just buy with your Bitcoins? on: April 01, 2014, 06:39:31 PM

9  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If Satoshi was a "genius", then why do BTC transactions take so long? on: March 21, 2014, 11:00:04 PM
If Bit_Happy was a 490 activity user then why hasn't he seen the endless topics and pages written on this? Especially a LTC user... why the sudden curiosity i wonder...



Cuz forums get cluttered with fucks like you who feel a need to show everyone how much smarter you are than everyone.

12  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bad vibe in Texas on: March 12, 2014, 03:18:18 AM
As a native New Yorker, I think Texas has always had a bad vibe. I've hated that place since it spewed forth that halfwit George W. Bush.


It takes one to know one
