Tomorrow must be Barcelona vs Roma
Any chance of 2 games in the same day?
It's usually one a day max but what other game do you propose? The game suggested above is today if that's what you mean. Someone could just request the Barca game tomorrow as well.

Blockchain.info has many issues and have become unreliable in several ways recently. I hardly ever get conformations emails anymore when I receive payments and it regularly shows the incorrect number of confirmations.

The reasoning behind my thinking that Bitcoin isn't real money is :
1, You can't goto your local petrol station or McDonald's to buy either cigarettes or burgers. 2. Do I really want to wait from 15 mins - 2 hours to confirm a small purchase at an establishment. 3. Sooner or later someone will crack private keys or find a way to control wallets and all Bitcoin will turn to dust. 4. How would you calculate the price of an item if Bitcoins price is so fickle
sir, you're exceptionally stupid. Yeah can't really take this post seriously as there's several levels of ignorance but I'm tired of seeing the waiting for confirmations stupidness. Once you send bitcoins they're as good as spent so no need to wait, but do you wait six months when you send a Paypal or creditcard payment? No.

For 1 Bitcoin to be worth $1,000,000, the total market cap of Bitcoin would have to be $21 trillion dollars. What are the odds of this happening?
For reference, the amount of physical $dollars and coins in circulation are around $1.2 trillion. The global M2 money supply of all currencies are around $45 trillion. The market cap of all mined gold is around $7 trillion.
Will 1 Bitcoin be worth a million dollars? Half a million? Thoughts?
Could it be worth 1 million? Yes. Would it? Almost certainly not. We would need bitcoin to be accepted everywhere worldwide if not being many nations defacto currency. I think the best we could hope for is it being worth several thousands.

No huge games today so how about West Brom vs Everton or maybe one of the Champions League games for tomorrow?

It should be quality rather than quantity. Anyone can spam many posts but that doesn't mean they should get the bonus. Give the bonus to the person who makes the most quality posts.

This thread is silly. People need to protect themself on here. If they didn't you'd get scammed straight away. Do you leave the doors on your house unlocked? If you don't does that mean you are dishonest and a thief or are you protecting yourself from thieves and scammers?

don't look at the current market price as it can go down quite a bit within a day again. we need to get rid of the xt fud first. it will continue for a few more weeks at least i guess.
I think it will be more than a few weeks and could last quite some time unfortunately. It needs to get resolved though so we can all move on.

Lol what an ignorant moron. I’ve been writing for a long time about how Bitcoin, if adopted widely, would be a grave threat to property rights. You see, while property rights are an inalienable human right, Bitcoin is an anarchic currency that resists any attempts to enforce such property rights. Criminal transactions cannot be reversed, and unlawfully obtained Bitcoins cannot be sent back to their rightful owners. Well with paypal criminal fraudsters can take your legit money from you by putting a simple claim in, what does he think about that? Ban paypal too?

These petitions are largely meaningless sadly. Think all that happens is they're put forward for possible debate in the House of Commons but even if it gets to that stage (which I doubt it will) they'll just deny it.

If you save your money then it's amount will remain the same. But in case of investing it, you can increase the money, may be many folds. Higher the risk and higher the return.
But with investing it you can also lose it all entirely, so that's the risk and why people suggest you should never invest what you can't afford to lose.

This is a piece of news which it appears that Bitcoin transactions are being accepted when major credit card companies like Visa and Mastercard are distancing themselves. Apparently Backpage.com which sort of looks and functions like Craigslist is accepting Bitcoin, but because the website is notorious for adult services, it could create a negative stigma for the digital currency.
It's not going to create negative stigma. This is one of the great uses of bitcoin and gives companies the freedom to accept money for services regardless of what the moral police at the banks or credit companies think.

I think it's only logical the porn industry (as well as games) will go this way, but not sure what this has to do with bitcoins?

Satoshi had much bigger plans for BTC and he will never touch these coins. it is very likely that he destroyed his private keys in my opinion.
If satoshi really had decided to sacrifice or destroy his coins, he would have done so publicly by spending them to a black-hole address. He did not. Which only leaves us with two options, either he wants to keep them for whatever reason or he really lost the private keys (which I personally doubt). Maybe he's undecided what he's going to do with them. He doesn't have to spend them on himself or on materialistic things but think about the good that could be done with those coins sometime in the future. If I became a billion or a trillionaire I'd buy myself a nice mansion and a nice car or two but make it my job to try change the world in the little ways that I could. You could build a lot of hospitals, schools and affordable houses with that money for sure.

You are right, sounds like openbazaar is the start/medium of skynet from this article. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) from article - "apply OpenBazaar’s decentralized and police-resistant model to this and you have a recipe for disaster: machines with free will and the ability to communicate with each other under the human radar" Well, it could be dangerous to the powers that be. Decentralized anything is, but OB has the power to be the new standard of darknet markets, only one the authorities could never take down so they're bound to feel powerless and afraid of it.

So even if you keep your own coins secure, there is still a danger of theft performed with violence. You have heard of people who were forced to give up their coins/keys under duress.
Does this mean that multisig is a must?
What good is a multi sig because you would obviously just give up the person or details to get the other half. If you're worried about violence then info could always be coerced out of you but this happening would be a rarity.

Save money is a bad idea, it like you lent your money to rich people, and make them more richer. Find a right way to invest your money, you can earn more.
How the hell is saving money a bad idea? You don't have to keep it in a bank, and investing your money just for the sake of it is a good way to lose it all especially if you don't know what you're doing.

I seem to remember reading a similar story a while back on here. These sorts of frauds are going to become more common with the amount of apps that store your credit card details on your phone. If you have weak security or passwords expect yourself to be cleaned out at some point.
