Few Testarossas stayed with one owner for 30 years. Those who bought it new got what they wanted. Those who bought them dirt cheap 10-15 years ago got a taste of the dreams of their youth. And those who bought them as an investment at half the price they are now, got what they wanted. I've yet to meet an unhappy Testarossa owner.


I've owned a few borderline supercars but would never go overboard into a proper one. They invoke some violent reactions from people. And lower tier cars as an 'investment' rather than the blue chip stuff are a mirage if you own them for long periods. They'll break even maybe but all that maintenance and taxation adds up rapidly.

It's a different matter if you've bought within the last few years maybe but they're only worth what others'll pay. Not the most liquid thing you can ever own. I think a shit ton of people will be burned with the more modest stuff. Old style BMW M3 Evo Sport's go for up to $150,000. I nearly bought one at $10,000 but it was a dog. That doesn't smell sustainable to me.

I'd happily spend my days polishing a Diablo, an '89 M5 and a 993 when I'm not watching the charts. You have to enjoy it a bit if it's gonna be worthwhile. XJ220 is still underpriced, I'd polish the shit out of that!

As underwhelming as the XJ220 is, I wouldn't go anywhere near that thing Smiley.

I keep a pretty low amount in my checking account, just enough to pay a couple months of bills.  I don't really see any reason to keep more than that in my account.

I'm definitely pulling hard for eBay to accept BTC.

Here we go - price and volume starting to really pick up.  Looking at the technicals, we had big consolidation and accumulation at around 2k sat and so the next leg up looks like 5-6k sat, with a possible overshoot to 10k sat.

If the casino whales don't ruin it for everyone else we should be able to easily hit these numbers in the next few days.

Happy times...   Wink


sat = ?

Well someone really wanted some CSC Smiley.  I'm assuming Cryptsy is the only exchange with any real CSC volume?

When I replace the blk0001.dat file in my ~/roaming/Infinitecoin directory with this file and then restart the client, it still tries to download the blockchain from the beginning.

Wasn't there a rumor going around last year about ebay creating their own currency instead of adopting bitcoin?  I wonder which would be more likely?

Aren't you able to deposit the cheque at the ATM?  ATM's are 24 hours and I usually do my deposits on the rare occasion that I receive a cheque.


even if you deposit on saturday, you will get the money on monday, so the 24/7 working is a big joke with atm

they are using those two days to work with your money and investing in assets it is well known...

It really depends on the bank and how long you've had an account with them.  With my bank, some of the money would be available for use right away.

If a company is going to screw you one way, it's a sure bet they'll find other ways to do it as well.

I cashed out my old SwC balance a little over 24 hours ago.  Nothing has shown up on the blockchain yet.  How often are these typically processed?

Also, I had 2FA on my old SwC account, so I don't know if that has any affect on my cashout request.

Not surprising its taking a little longer to process cashouts if most of the focus is on the new platform.

Received my cash-out today.

Has the amount of player traffic changed since the new site opened?

I really hate articles on Wall Street Journal. We'd have to subscribe to read the full story. From the headline, I basically already know the gist of it, but can someone copy and paste the whole article on here?

Just Google the title of the article. WSJ doesn't apply its paywall to visitors that follow a link from Google (presumably to lure in new potential customers).

Does this work for other sites that use paywalls?

I've been out of the loop for a little bit.  What caused the sudden $200+ rise over the past couple of weeks?
