"anyone exchanging bitcoin could be SELLING SECURITIES" -- Isn't the only reason the SEC is involved that it was a ponzi scheme? He was selling shares/securities, not bitcoin.

I feel I'm missing out and should be buying much more btc!
But I have no spare cash.

Any ideas? How to get some money? I already have a part time job while studying.

Do you have anything to sell? You could sell some goods/used stuff/etc in the marketplace here. I see you are already doing signature advertising for PrimeDice, so that's a good start.

I have to say, as much as e-cigarettes don't work for me as a tobacco smoker, vaporizing weed actually works great, and I've been cutting down on smoking a lot. Good stuff.

Bitpay is remarkably cheap for any small to mid-sized business. You may consider checking them out. As a customer, Bitpay invoices generally work very, very smoothly.
1445  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will bitcoin ever reach $1000 dollars again? on: June 08, 2014, 10:54:41 PM
At the end of the year bitcoin will surely go and surpass the 1000 mark.. too many merchant adoption incoming.

Incoming? Are there plans for more merchants to adopt that you have heard of? DISH is big, but that's got to be cooked into the price by now, I would have to think.
1446  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Do you know if bitcoin has an intrinsic value and where it comes from? on: June 08, 2014, 10:53:49 PM
Bitcoin's value comes from the faith in the network.

This is similar to how the Euro's value comes from the faith in the European Union various governments and how the faith in the US Dollar comes from the faith of the US economy.

Not just faith in the network, but the actual interconnectivity that the network provides. The more nodes that are added to the network, the more useful it becomes.

On second thought, it was always an extremely low level site. I wonder what kind of support team there could possibly be behind it, LOL. Probably not much of one.
1448  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: June 08, 2014, 09:35:12 PM
Now we are waiting for the chineses to make them move. The next raise will depend on Huobi and Okcoin, bitstamp canīt grow more without a hit of China. But this seems pretty good, the 650 floor itīs solid and only can go up. When? Well, thatīs the question in here.

I'm thinking similarly -- it's sleepy time for another couple hours. We bounced at Huobi's triangle bottom, so I'm hoping we'll finally break out of this range to upside when they do make a move.
1449  Economy / Speculation / Re: When will Bitcoin reach $1 again? on: June 08, 2014, 09:34:00 PM
$1 is ridiculous, $100 is unlikely.
If the price will drop to a sub $300 value there will so many bots/people buying that you will se a sudden increase in price.

Yes, if we go sub-$300 it'll be a flash crash with a giant bounce back above $400, IMO. I'll be buying like mad if we ever get near $260 again. Seems unlikely, though.
1450  Economy / Speculation / Re: Where is the weekend rally? on: June 08, 2014, 09:32:32 PM
If you aren't an expert trader with experience I recommend to hold because there are almost zero chances to lose the capital in this way.

Well, up to a certain point. I don't recommend being a total pig about it and never selling anything. I always take some profit when I'm up big, otherwise I'm kicking myself on the way down.

An easier and less risky way to increase the capital could be achieved estimating the next peak (looking at previous bubbles) and selling an increasing % of your btc savings when it cross your price.

Estimating the next peak is easier said than done; when the price was at 10$ a year and a half ago will you consider 50 100 or 300$ the peak? The peak in 2014 was 1150$..

No one can estimate the peak. But if you can sell while the price has risen 5x or 10x, and buy when it has fallen again, you ought to be in pretty good shape by now.
1451  Economy / Speculation / Re: Ghash.io reaching up to 47% hashrate (now down). Can it reach 51%? on: June 08, 2014, 09:31:04 PM
There's no problem in Ghash.io reaching the 51% of the total hashrate, they have no interest into breaking the bitcoin party.

That's kind of messed up, though. If we want to protect the integrity of the network, it's in the interest of us all not to have one entity controlling so much of the network.

Have fun with a "digital currency bank" controlling your Bitcoins.
I know, I get it, but at the same time, this might be the type of "bridging the gap" sort of service that we need to get average joes involved with bitcoin.

Looks like coins went to this wallet 12gEgguL2ciHqerypstKM5WYCMcxRKsnQ4

This guy " Tasja" admitted to controlling the address my coins went to in this post

Anyone know him?

I am still not sure how thief got access but suspect a key logger from Usenet. I was running virus checker but it was either AVG or K labs and did not trigger anything. Any and all help tracking these down would be appreciated


You mean "tazja" right? I am assuming from the link to that thread. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=109937

Wish I could help. That is truly unfortunate. If you offer a bounty, you may get some helping doxxing this guy.
1454  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: bitvisitor scam? on: June 08, 2014, 09:20:26 PM
I got paid out from that site when I first started with bitcoin, trying to do giveaways and such. I don't think it's a scam -- just has limits (can't get paid out right away) and the payments are quite small.
1455  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will bitcoin ever reach $1000 dollars again? on: June 08, 2014, 09:19:14 PM
To be honest the 10k thread is more interesting right now! :>

$10k? It'll take a lot to get there. From the July bottom of the April 2013 bubble to the November 2013 top, it was about 19x. Same magnitude here puts us at about $6500. $10k is certainly not impossible in the not-so-far future, but we've built up a hell of a lot of resistance at the $1100 and below levels.
Yes, that's why it's fun. 1000 is a value we've already reached before, and surely we will again.

Well, nothing is set in stone! We still have plenty of people drawing charts to $260, $150, $50 and probably $0 as well, so you never know! Time will tell.

Hi,
How much accounts have you made exactly with the time?  Huh
Are you posting with them right now ?
If you don not post for some time is your activity going down?
Thanks
BR

My experience is that activity can't go down unless you delete posts to the point that you have less posts than activity. Then your activity will = your post count.
1457  Economy / Economics / Re: Why the fuck do we still use cash? on: June 08, 2014, 08:43:36 PM
Cash is extremely useful for quick transactions. Some places are still cash only, even. It's faster than credit cards for a lot of POS transactions (think convenience stores). And sometimes you want to remain anonymous...
1458  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you think China will completely BAN bitcoin? on: June 08, 2014, 08:42:08 PM
It's certainly possible, given the RMB's precarious situation and the PBOC's previous positions, and history in general. Can they stop their citizens from using it? Of course not.
1459  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will bitcoin ever reach $1000 dollars again? on: June 08, 2014, 08:29:56 PM
To be honest the 10k thread is more interesting right now! :>

1000$ is a realistic price and we will reach it in some months or sooner, 10000$ is still an ipothetical value which btc should have during 2015 or 2016.

With bitcoin's volatility, there is no reason why we can't do it in 2014 (or why we wouldn't have to wait until 2020 either). Who knows? It's all pure speculation at this point.

I have to stop using Foodler. I've been using bitcoin to pay for like 20 delivery orders in the past month. I'm becoming addicted to delivery food.....
