142  Economy / Speculation / Re: WHY IS EVERYTHING CRASHING on: October 02, 2013, 06:44:55 PM
Price is getting up on bitstamp.

I never disputed that. All I said is that I don't find that reaching petahash is something amazing and unexpected considering new miners come each week and new ppl thinking they will earn quick money.

If all that "power" would be used for something greater then a  personal gain it would something worth of attention and praise. If we all combine our unused processing power from 100s of millions of computers we would achieve much much more. But we are only "there" to make money, nothing else....

reality check dude!

How long did it took you to come up with 3 words? No really do enlighten me?

If you are, hmm lets say not looking at a bigger picture it is your problem. All I said it is not hard to achieve something without the bigger goal in mind. Yes combined power is Ok, and it is only used for a single purpose and that is to make money, nothing else. Also reality check, as you surf the web, watch movies, listen to music on your computer, only a small part of your computer power is used, what do you think would be the power of a lets say network containing every computer in the world.
So reaching a petahash inst a big deal considering every week there are new miners out there made for only one purpose, to make money.

What I do to avoid phishing is having a laptop that I use only to access my wallet and site related to bitcoins but not forums. Also Im using 22 letter password, composed of upper and lower case letter, numbers... I don't use words from dictionary that could be brute forced much faster. Its not a 100% safe system, but so far, so good.
But most important thing is, NEVER use a computer that you use for normal stuff ( surfing, chatting, exchange of files... ) for accessing your wallet, keep those 2 separated.

I don't really think phone was giving just like that. There has to be something behind it, some commercial comes to my mind. Also technical goods have diminishing value, their value will drop and true value isn't real since in many cases you don't pay for what you get but for a company name/brand. Bitcoins are virtual good/currency + there is no known company behind it that will benefit from giving it away and posting that on YT. So comparing those things isn't an option.

Wouldn't doubt it...



There are people who buy a happy meal, and hold on to it for years... It looks like it never changed... And you want me to feed that to my kids? Umm.. Pass...

I tried that. Mine never looked like that. Its all about how you prepare it and where you keep it. I kept my in a room, not covered on a room temperature.

And I if I understood right, he is ranting since he seen strange things under a microscope?
Thats not valid at all....
150  Economy / Economics / Re: Can someone explain this drop for all the main crypto-currencies? on: September 26, 2013, 10:35:05 AM
If those currencies are mainly based on Bitcoin trade they will follow drops in price according to Bitcoin drop.
151  Economy / Economics / Re: ASICMINER blades now 3 Bitcoin Each on: September 26, 2013, 10:31:45 AM
I am not sure how good is to buy them. It will take you 3 months with current difficulty to pay them off, but we all know that it will take much longer considering difficulty is rising.

How can a music be a prof of intelligent designer? Everything in the world and universe has its own frequency, giving music as a prof of a God is just stupid.

If what is he saying is true then there are many many more waves.

Next big, lets say implementation of nano technology into daily life.
154  Economy / Economics / Re: How to actually start an anarchy? on: September 17, 2013, 05:42:50 PM
Starvation and water shortage is the key. Remove essential things that could keep us alive and there you go. In countries that are highly developed that is the best option. Civil disobedience, riots, millions on the street, fall of government and so on.
Or some scenario from a Zombie movie, like Walking Dead.
155  Economy / Economics / Re: Best way to turn 2BTC into 4BTC on: September 17, 2013, 05:04:35 PM
You can earn that by playing the market, buy low, sell high. Basically sell for more then you bought + fees. I do that from time to time, so far I have always been in a + side Smiley
156  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Holy difficulty jump, Batman! on: September 16, 2013, 04:15:42 PM
Depends how it will adjust to the arrival of new miners, but to be hones I don't really see a point in mining with gpu's now when there are so many ASICS out there. Many sold their rigs months ago, same as me.

157  Economy / Marketplace / Re: looking for investment. if you want to boom your money on: September 16, 2013, 04:09:33 PM
This made me laugh so hard. I wanna invest into restaurants and a villa ? Oh common that's not even original.
Its easy to think of something much, much better....
158  Economy / Economics / Re: Invest a Small Amount in Bitcoin on: September 16, 2013, 10:58:57 AM
For every dollar that goes to BTC is a dollar the greedy banksters can't get their paws on.

And do you really think that is going to last indefinitely? Every government likes to have their hands on money, this way they are prevented, it can only work if there is some hidden agenda beyond this.
159  Economy / Economics / Re: Invest a Small Amount in Bitcoin on: September 14, 2013, 10:42:44 PM
Bitcoins can have that value but in a future, not anytime soon. Considering that we know the exact number of bitcoins that could be mined there want be any overflowing or inflation, but I think that in order for bitcoins to become more involved on a daily basis, it has to be accepted by more people. Investing in something doesnt guarantee it will gain in value if you dont have a plan behind it....
160  Economy / Economics / Re: What is the best way to get local businesses to start accepting Bitcoin? on: September 11, 2013, 02:58:28 PM
Tell 'em there are a lot of people outside which have them and want to spend it. Start an investigation, how willing bitcoiners are to spend 'em and what products they want to purchase. Say them, you will advertise them in the community.

q: would you invest more $ in electronics/food/biere, if you could pay with bitcoins?
q: would accepting bitcoins be an attribute of a company which encourages you to chose it as your allday-retailer?


Bitcoins are popular mainly because 99% of people that are using them are interested in making quick money from them. You simply can't explain a concept to everyone and many businesses are only interested in dealing with "live" currency ( cash ), because they can invest that money or use it to pay for workers, to order new items and stuff like that.
