Hi,

I am looking for old reddit accounts. Karma just to be positive... the older the better...

offer everything!

This individual and I are in a sort of informal debate over Bitcoin. 

He says, in response to one of my arguments:

You state: "What interests me a bit, are the new applications that crypto-currency allows for: "smart contracts", "decentralized autonomous organizations", machine to machine transactions." None of these are new: smart contracts - options; decentralized autonomous organizations - commercial banks; machine to machine transactions - internet transactions and ATMs.  The environment might be different but the ideas and their applications already exist.

I feel like he's shown his cards here, and his lack of understanding of these technological applications.  Are there any great examples that could be presented to best demonstrate that to him?

Hello,

I'm comfortable with using the Multibit wallet client, so I was curious of any "best practices" for cold storage on USB sticks.  I don't see too much in the documentation.  I'd like to just cold store a little bitcoin on (3) USB sticks.  Are any of the following an ideal route:

(1)  Put Multibit client on all USB sticks, and copy ".wallet" file to all.
(2)  Put Multibit client on desktop, and just copy ".wallet" file to all USB sticks (i.e. ".wallet" file is really what I need to store)
(3)  Put Multibit client on desktop, and export ".key" file to all USB sticks

Thank you for any clarity.  I've installed the Multibit client on one USB stick, with the ".wallet" file there as well.  My guess is that I don't need to copy everything to the other two USB sticks for redundancy, and I suspect that might even mess something up or be overkill, particularly if the ".wallet" file changes after every time I send or receive bitcoins.  

Thanks for any help, for a partially technical n00b!  I understand Armory, or another wallet, may be "more secure", but unless their is some real significant advantage I just feel most comfortable with Multibit as I'm somewhat familiar with it already.

[Thoughts?]

Just a sample from the "Lending" page, below.  Thoughts?

If I'm reading correctly, there may be many traders long, currently, and there are more traders willing to borrow USD (up to ~$55K) at 100% APR.  If traders haven't eaten up the lower APR loans that were available, then those loans have been removed (and the lender likely purchased BTC himself).

1) Does this say something about the confidence in the current bullish market?
2) Can we assume the average Bitfinex trader is more informed (or a "better trader") than the general population?

Keep that in mind as we watch volatility and "uncertainty" fly off the charts these few days.  Might be some good opportunities to scoop up btc at a price you would have killed for only a week ago (and probably without consideration for SR).

 

Noob question...

Are there particular sites that allow you to buy bitcoin on margin?

If so, can I hold a "margin position" if I transfer bitcoin to that particular site, or would I need to first sell that bitcoin and then rebuy it w/ margin (if that makes sense)?

Basically, I'm curious about increasing a current position, using current holdings essentially as collateral.
