This is a good idea. If I have a math dilemma I will ask you for help.

Just because we are in this comunity does not mean we are good at math. Even if you are good at one kind of math you might be bad at other kinds of math. Like my sister, she got straight A's in her calculus class, but she has trouble with things like adding prices or balancing a budget.

I'll do this if you fix the typo on your page: "Free Bitcoin Mixer! You will always get get completely different Bitcoins on withdrawals" has an extra "get".

What country are you from?
  • USA
  • Bengladesh
  • Honk-Kong
  • Tanzania
  • Bosnia
  • Other countries

The poll should take some sort of reason for listing countries. You could do the largest countries: China, India, USA, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Russia, Japan, Mexico, Other.

I guess If you wanted to include Europe better in the poll, you could use the EU as a single entity, it would go between India and the USA.
1164  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is going on? Trading volume is so low! on: May 12, 2013, 01:49:32 PM
Now, since we're really talking about the volume here and why it's low?

Low volume is a bear signal. Why? Because buyers drive markets. And buyers drive volume. I repeat - buyers drive markets, not sellers! It means, less people are putting money into bitcoin. Sure, less people are selling also, but sellers can only have one effect on the price, to move it downwards. If the lack of buyers (as evidenced by low volumes) continues, you're going to see holders of bitcoins becoming more and more nervous and eventually selling off coins, which will cause a price downtrend, which will equally bring more sellers to market.

A low volume at this stage is a bear sign. Unless bitcoin can bring new money into the market, if low volumes continue we're going to see a continued downwards movement in the price.

Depends on how you look at the market.

A low volume at this stage is a bear sign. Unless dollars can bring new bitcoins into the market, if low volumes continue we're going to see a renewed downwards movement in the price. Dollars dropped to about 3.8 mB before rebounding and after weeks of high volatility they have stabilized at about the current rate of 8.7 mB.

You are right, buyers drive markets. If the people who are holding bitcoins do not want to use them to buy dollars, then people will have to start offering more dollars to get those bitcoins.

Yes, I am American. I am not stupid. Why is asking about the demographics of bitcoin so stupid? I am sure you were curious at least once about this. No need to post things like this.

The question of the poll is not stupid, the haphazard and unsystematic choices for answers are the stupid part.

Maybe it would be better to stick with continental regions, since there are so many choices for country you leave lots out.
1166  Other / Off-topic / Re: Their is an epidemic in this community... on: May 11, 2013, 02:40:48 AM
When I first read the title, I thought the epidemic was of people who don't know the difference between "their" and "there". But I guess that other thing's pretty bad too.

I've learned a lot more here on the forums, than I did in school. I caught on the language skills from this forum, rather than I did in school.

I've learned the difference of their and there, how to convert btc prices back and forth, multiply and divide, comma's, from here at the forum. I still really do not understand the to vs too. I've looked it up, and it just doesn't register to me how to and when to use to and too in a sentence, I believe I don't understand the "too" part. There is a lot of other stuff I learned from this forum.

Your commas are a little off here, just to let you know.

"I've learned a lot more here on the forums, than I did in school. " - no comma before than.  Likewise with the rather.
No apostrophe on the commas.
Too = too many (amount of things).  To = to someone (not referring to an amount).

My apologies--I mark papers for a living, and always believe in being helpful to students.

There is more to the to/too thing than that, which makes it even more confusing.

'To' is actually two different words, and 'too' likewise has two meanings (and we are totally leaving out 'two', that's a number so it makes more sense how it is different). There is 'too', which can be 'more than enough', or 'also'. 'To' can be a preposition, or part of a verb.

We are having too much fun. (amount)
We are having fun too. (also)
We are going from here to the store. (preposition, gives direction)
We like to have fun. ('to have' is the action we like)

Then you can put them all into one sentence:

The two of us are going to go to the store and have too much fun too. (This makes sense if the guy you are talking to has expressed his intention to get rowdy at the store.)

I hope that helps you to use these two words correctly too.

oh I am aware of all these things. No stranger to the exchanges, got educated on the scams.

I am considering issuing a security, but it isn't a mining company or gambling company or fund, so I am still trying to determine what the appetite is... before I post about it and get accused and slander all over this subforum.

The reason those types are so popular is that they are arguably able to be based in bitcoins and avoid the exchange rate risk. The fundamental question you will have to answer is: will you be able to beat simply holding bitcoins?
1170  Economy / Securities / Re: [BTC-TC] BitVPS on: May 11, 2013, 01:57:50 AM
I'm simply assuming we might need to convert USD to BTC, although I suspect more often than not BTC will be converted to USD to pay expenses. That section works both way.

Someday you will be able to pay the power bill in bitcoins?
1171  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A new Catchy name for 0.0001 BTC? on: May 10, 2013, 09:25:30 PM
Since the new update will make it impractical so send one "Satoshi" it looks like the lowest practical amount to send will be:

0.0001 BTC

Many people have come to me saying they like bitcoin but find the fractions hard to deal with.

Is there a name for one tenth of a "millibit"

If not, can we think of a new catchy name?

"One Andresen"? Tongue

Just call it 0.1 mB (that is read zero-point-one milli-bit)

The bitcoin loan will be paid back. IT will not be put under bankruptcy. I work and get 812 a month and rent is 695 a month so 50$ A month would be good to pay back



See, that's your problem right there. You need to either start making more money or get a cheaper place to live, most financial advisers that I have heard say your rent or mortgage should never be more than about 35% of your income, having less than that is better.
1173  Economy / Securities / Re: Is there a market for non-dividend stocks? on: May 10, 2013, 03:18:14 PM
No, eventually the company MUST pay dividends, as that's the only way a shareholder can realize benefit in holding the company(other than waiting for the rare event of some other company acquires your company with cash). A company can delay dividends because it can better use the funds to grow, but eventually it will HAVE to pay dividends. Even the mighty AAPL pays dividends, so does MSFT, INTC, NVDA, QCOM etc... they were once all non-dividend paying growth companies, but eventually, they pay dividends.

But even when those companies were non-dividend paying growth companies it was possible to realize the profit from holding them, you just had to sell a portion of your shares.

When you sell your shares, you stop being a shareholder, but become a speculator/trader. That's why most dividend investors use their dividend to BUY more shares, not sell shares.

What is the difference between the company paying dividends and you reinvesting them back into the company vs the company just reinvesting the profits? If the company makes 10% profit and pays it to you as dividend, or if the company makes 10% growth and you sell 10% of your shares, either way you end up in the same place, right?

1175  Economy / Securities / Re: Is there a market for non-dividend stocks? on: May 10, 2013, 01:54:05 PM
Part of the reason people demand dividend payments is because there is so little transparency/regulation/auditing within the bitcoin stock environment. If you are not paying dividends, then people have no way to know you are actually making money like you claim. If you can find a way to convince people that you hold what you say you hold and such, then people would be willing to buy non-dividend shares in your company.
1176  Economy / Securities / Re: [BTC-TC] BitVPS on: May 10, 2013, 01:48:23 PM
No profits?

Sales are at the top.
Net profit/change is at bottom in blue.
Previous reserve/new reserve in red shows the balances at end of last month and end of current month.

It is a bit confusing having the separate columns for USD and BTC, but once I understood what you are doing that makes sense. When I first opened the spreadsheet the USD column was off the right side of the screen, so at first glance it looks like there is no profit, but after you see that extra column you see the company actually made some profit.

Hello iam new here I would like to gain some bitcoins, how do I do it ? Thank you for your advice.

Jay

You have to give something to somebody and then they give you bitcoins, just like how you earn dollars or euros.

I am not sure, if it affects seriously the ability of fed reserve, the US government may ban it

just like they ban all those drugs, except bitcoins have a built in teleporter so they are even harder to stop!
1179  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: BTC value at the end of May on: May 09, 2013, 08:38:53 PM
I guess I can make a guess: $120, since the market is stabilizing somewhere around this point.
1180  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is going on? Trading volume is so low! on: May 09, 2013, 06:16:32 PM
Yes it certainly has dropped off but the fact the price is settling just about in 3 figures is broadly positive as I see it.

A slow fall from here on in would not spell disaster but would certainly expedite the next wave of speculation.

Take a look at the big picture, here on the all-time weekly chart (close prices, log scale).



A few things to note about 2013 with 2011: the run-up was less steep, the sell-off was less intense, and we've settled into a mid-term price quicker at a point relatively higher.

Nice graph.

Also remember that the bitcoin inflation is now less than half what it was in 2011, so all things being equal, one would expect the downtrend to be less steep after the run-up.
