OMG more good news!!!! I wonder why the price isn't 10k$ yet
|
|

So did you guys sell this time? I think you should wait a little more before start yelling "i told you so".

Works fine with me although i don't like what i see

My main concern at the moment is security of crypto currencies it seems that we need an offline computer with a paper wallet + a USB key, i mean how common people could even think of getting into cryptos?
Thats an overkill in terms of security. If you talk about savings in bitcoins (wallets that you don't actually use everyday) then encrypting the wallet and making a backup in the cloud for example is more than enough. For your day to day transactions you have to keep your computer clean like you do for every other online transaction like when you use credit cards paypal etc.

I would say around $1000 - $1200 unless another country like one of the asian countries, or russia embraces Bitcoin like china did, then I would say around the $2000 mark
Nice post from 1 month ago. In case that you didn't notice things changes and china now fights bitcoin...

Dumping when? Once bitcoin reaches 40000$ or when their etf becomes live?
Dumping as soon as the etf comes live. The etf is the vehicle for the twins to dump their holdings. That doesn't makes sense. Obviously they can earn more dumping there rather on an exchange but not that more to justify the risk of waiting for the fund to approve if they believe that bitcoin is a pump and dump scheme. They may dump some when bitcoin reaches 40000$ but who wouldn't

A government has many tools to attack bitcoin if they want. A 51% attack isn't one of those
|
|

I see people talking about new currencies and see on coin wars they list them all out but how are thease all able to sustain? And how can you tell if they are legit?
There isn't any coin wars or something. Just some people making a lot of fuss about nothing.

I presume it'll move more into a peer to peer type of deal like localbitcoins. The government is being a tad optimistic thinking the exchanges are where all the action will ever be.
I dunno what the proportions are for their usage in other countries but I for one couldn't be arsed to wait to deposit to them myself. I think I obtained 5% of my coins via a formal exchange and that was such a grind I gave up.
Localbitcoins is a good alternative but can't support the big market cap that bitcoin has right now.

In relation to my last post:
If everyone on bitcointalk posted a blog, make a tweet, or posted an FB status, or for that matter any social media activity in relation to bitcoin at the exact same time on the exact same day you/us as traders would see the benefit with in hours.
But this is nothing new! Big corporations do it daily. They know and time their advertizing to the second. What is the real goal of CEO's and presidents....? PUMP the stock!! How? Sell the goods!
Only that bitcoin is not a pump and dump scheme. And we are fed up with volatility already. We don't want to add more. Slow and steady growth is what we should look for from now on.

I hope we get some Bitcoin ATM machines here in the uk next year. That would really help promotion and legitimise it with the public.
I 'm not sure about legitimising it. So far whenever bitcoin gets into the radar of authorities bad things happen And whatever the authorities start poking their noses in Fox news starts broadcasting about So I can't wait Can't wait for what? Watch the fox news?

Why do we even talk about the bitcoineaterblablabla address? It's an address without the private key like so many others that people lost their keys already The difference is, this bitcoineater address quite possibly does not have an equivalent private key. The ones that people lost, they once had private keys. They just lost them. It's certain not quite possible that it doesn't have an equivalent private key. So what?

Backing= guarantee of future exchange value
BC, needs a guarantee of its future exchange value.
As it has none, it cant be money.
Obviously you mean guarantee by a central authority. That's not going to happen ever because bitcoin don't wants that to happen. You see bitcoin with fiat currency standards thats why you can't understand basic things. No. Thats one form of backing (dollar). Gold/Silver have backing (inherent). Bitcoin has NO backing. Bitcoin has that other backing that you talk about. It's the massive value of it's network and the thousands of people's that are strengthen that network.

USE linux, there's no viruses for linux
Does that mean I should keep everything on my Android phone? Because it's linux, you know that right? And there's noooo viruses on Android, right?? There are viruses on linux and android isn't linux per se it's just based on the linux kernel.

I'm feeling your pain, because I decided to buy 3 bitcoins around $700-900 to play around with. Now I am in the process of liquidating all my positions.
You have a 2 and half years old account and you bought 3 bitcoins at 900$ just to get your feet wet? Something is off here...

source?
I haven't heard of any official source so far but i know of one source that usually don't lie. Btcchina
|
|

The crash in btcchina speaks of itself. I don't think that the chinese are mislead about an article in reddit or coindesk or in anywhere else. I think they know better what's going on and they respond by selling...

Btw the photo is photoshopped or real?
Are you seriously asking? ?? It 's photo of a tsunami not a photo of death star attacking new york. In case that you don't know it already tsunamis can happen and have killed hundreds of people before. Wow! I thought tsunamis only killed dozens of people, not hundreds. Wow! I thought you just failed both on trolling and on sarcasm

Title: Japanese researchers break 41 out of 64 steps of SHA256 with preimage attack. Abstract: In this paper, we propose preimage attacks [...]
sensationalist 6/10
Do you not understand all scientific papers use propose? Propose as in "You can do it this way that we discovered" Not propose as in "We think" I think he means that you should evaluate the actual preimage attack that they propose before saying that they broke it. I mean i can propose an attack: Search for all the possible keys one by one... This is a nice theoretical attack but has no value in the real world...
