1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Creating Public Awareness for Bitcoin in Singapore on: February 05, 2014, 07:43:11 AM
There are regular meet ups here in Singapore which attract quite a large and varied audience/participants.
These are normally organised through Meetup.com, failing that you can speak to David at Coin Republic who is active in that space

My suggestion, create something that bitcoin actually needs.

Another exchange is not needed.
There are numerous already.

There are numerous already but I wouldn't trust any of them with any large amount of BTC or fiat - so create something Bitcoin actually needs - a trustworthy, reliable and quick exchange with proper contact information, details of the owners and ease of use and you've cracked it.
The more exchanges there are... the less liquidity there is Sad

Thank you for your questions and suggestions. I am going to try to answer everyones questions. We are a start up company, that is located in Texas. We are in the process of writing our business module to present it to potential investors. My marketing president is reading out to potential developers non-stop. The interest is huge, due to our unique ideas and projects that are confidential at this point. At this point we are able to potentially obtain 50k+ from investors. This will be spent on the exchange, the iOS and android app that we are developing. We are also putting high emphasize on security and the user friendly interface.


At this point we are not considering a lending features, due to the anonymous and nonreversible nature of bitcoin transactions. But as I said, we are going to give a certain amount of the trading fees back to our users that keep bit coins on their wallets.

Right now, that is all i can share with you guys about the exchange. We are just starting the development of the exchange and the feature in it.

I was just curious what you guys thought about other exchanges and I wanted to get your feedbacks on necessities, that we can make with coinster.

Our homepage is going to be up in the next week on the following website: coinster.co

Our Facebook, and twitter pages are under development as well.

I will keep posted everyone here. As we move forward. Until then I would love to here your feedback on exchanges and your necessities. We will make them happen.

Coinster


As I said, fast money in ....fast money  out...fast response to customer queries.... that should give you a head start.

If you really wanted to be funky then why not setup a portal where I can buy from any exchange through your portal...and you maintain the accounts required on the other exchanges....

1. Fast Transfers in
2. Fast Transfers out
3. Routine Pen Testing/Security Audits
4. Insurance for coins held by the exchange.

Actually, the Chinese government was concerned that some Chinese people might get wealthy without being in their loyalty network, under control.  They want to choke off bitcoin in order to keep the Chinese people as slaves.

But....The Chinese have the resources (whether it be in Gold or USD) to buy vast amounts of BTC and have some measure of control... considering the "semi-pro" US response to BTC i would have thought that they would try to buy it up in order to control... as they are doing with gold reserves.... this would offer them some future-proofing just in case.....

You're both pathetic backwater scum. Now take it somewhere else.
who is "both"
Take a wild guess....
Not paying to much attention to non-relevant nonsense tbh..... however I hope their parents come home soon.
I can only speculate that their Playstations don't work so they cannot heckle people on Call Of Duty or BattleField.....hence they come here to vent the abundance of teenage testosterone.....

As soon as the boy can work up the balls crawl over to his daddy with his head and eyes hanging low and asking for handouts because he got himself into debt he can't repay Smiley

On topic, bitcoin doesn't need anyone's 'approval', definitely not chinese one. Why should bitcoin care since it has been having ups and downs since the beginning, slow and sure upward trend, increasing bubble amounts each year, and growing userbase?

The only thing chinese did is to speed up the schedule of the inevitable large bubble. Even if every single chinese withdrew from bitcoin, the schedule will continue and leave china in the dust.

 

Going back to the article in question, it seem to be a lot more "anti" than previous articles.... if we assume that it was state sponsored/sanctioned, then we have to speculate that the tide is indeed turning for the worse.
Whilst i don't believe that china will be a deal breaker, i have to admit that it would have been in the best interests of the bitcoin community if China had got behind it, or even tolerated it's existence within their borders.

As I said, we don't need china for bitcoin. If you observed the trends, you can clearly see that this current bubble was an ahead-of schedule anomaly.

If the chinese quit, bitcoin will return to its original schedule, and reach each bubble slower. That's all. There's little stopping its rise unless serious regulations are placed by larger and more powerful governments.

Regulation is a necessary evil for mass adoption.......whether people like it or not

That is right. Unfortunately, too many day dreamers and kids on this forum bitching about the US government has yet to realize this completely. Where was all the necessary hate towards the PRC? They were the ones to first really beat down on bitcoin.

The big factor is not regulation - it's an actual shutdown due to extremely strict regulations. Some regulations will help bitcoin by providing stable and safer way for general public to get into it.

In conclusion, chinos can go fuck themselves. Crypto will continue, and will not need their 'help'.

An almost rational reply.......totally spoilt by a racist comment.....come on HP...no one will take you seriously if you continue this path.
Most "chinos" i know disagree with their government policies that same way that many americans and europeans do.... please don't judge a nation based on the policy dictated to them by the few....

11  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: January 13, 2014, 08:09:49 PM

I am so fucking pissed at this bitch right now.
She could as well ask for banning all fiat money because dealers on the streets use it... Some people are insanely idiots.  Undecided

Dude, she just lost her son, of course she will be irrational. Don't blame her for having emotions, blame the idiots that overreact to this shit, i.e. politicians and the media.

She attacked something I like. That is not a safe place to stand ...

Her 21 year old son. An adult, capable of making his own decisions without any influence from anyone else decided to use an anonymous website to buy his cocaine with bitcoin instead of driving to his local crack alley to buy some.

I'm sure this was the first time he had ever decided to use? I'm sure he had never done anything like this before? It's only because of bitcoin he turned to doing drugs right?

Are you saying I'm saying it's because of bitcoin, or she is saying it's because of bitcoin? I never said anything like that. I, as a completely rational, outside observer, can easily see bitcoin is not at all to blame. You, as a completely rational, outside observer, can also. She, however, is incapable of being rational due to the loss of her son, and needs something to focus on other than maddening grief. Bitcoin became that focus. It's irrational, but it doesn't make her an idiot. It makes her human. Cut her some slack, and blame the people who deserve it: politicians kowtowing to the irrational rantings of a grieving woman to get votes, and the media for exploiting said irrational woman to get ratings/fulfill an agenda.

As for him being 21, totally irrelevant to my argument. Your kids don't matter less to you, nor does it hurt less to lose them, simply because they're adults. To blame this woman is to lose focus on what is really important: politicians and the media sucking balls.



No I'm simply saying that her son was an adult who made adult decisions and bitcoin was not the cause or reason for his drug use. He was old enough to make his own educated decisions. He was old enough to know better. I'm sure this wasn't his first encounter with drugs either. She and her son are being touted as the poster child for anti bitcoin enthusiasts.

You could also argue that he snorted it through a dollar bill......lets ban fiat also!

Seriously....If people are gonna do drugs they will find a way...simple.
People should be responsible for their own choices of what they choose to do with their own bodies and put inside their own bodies.
So whats next, a boy drowns...so they ban water???.....Aus is becoming a Nanny state

Bitcoin/Litecoin was like *invented* by a Chinese man  Roll Eyes
Dont be ridiculous.... we all know it was created by the NSA   Tongue Tongue Tongue

if i had the link i'd send you a radio interview WITH satoshi.  he and Clinton were supposed good friends and they both wanted a place to buy and sell drugs so they invented Silk Road?Huh
Really?....I thought that the proliferation of prostitutes/drugs was a NWO objective to dumb-down/placate the population so they would not resist the Greys when they arrive on Planet X.....

The South China Morning Post is independent and well respected.  It's not the "party line". Xinhua and People's Daily are the official party line. SCMP criticizes the government of China frequently. They'll mention Falun Gong favorably, and often criticize the "princelings" (sons of older party officials") who are expected to become leaders in China. They're not as independent as they used to be when Rupert Murdoch owned them, though. On business news, they're usually accurate. 

The Hong Kong Economic Journal also considers Bitcoin to be a bubble, one of many in China.  The Pacific Standard says Bitcoin didn't crash after the China crackdown and may survive. They point out that customers spent over $100 million last year on Zynga in-game purchases.

You should be reading all of these to find out what's happening with Bitcoin in China.

That's unfortunately some naive claptrap. No other way to put it. They are wrapped up too much in their own delusions and biases that makes al-jazeera look objective.

Many chinese mention such counter-opinions on their own. EVERYONE criticizes the princelings. To call them independent and well respected is the same as calling al jazeera not pro-muslim, pravda not pro-soviet, CNN not pro-democrat, and FOX not pro-republican.

But you mentioned them as if such superficial reasons dilute the essential biases in articles and 'authors' such as these.

That's unfortunately being way too naive about issues such as these, and a prime character in those who are easily swayed and hoodwinked by such obvious ulterior motives.

Why does this come as any surprise, China is listed in 171st Place with regards to freedom of the press.....tis just par for the course....

http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Global-Issues/2010/1020/Press-Freedom-Index-The-top-10-worst-countries/China

Many people, up to estimated about 30%, most of whom are highly educated (not necessarily intelligent or 'mature' as some would casually throw out), wealthy, and influential fled hong kong before 1999.

Ironically, they go to other countries and start to bitch about how they are proud to be 'chinese' while benefiting from other nations' education systems and employment opportunities. With such great chinese names as 'andy'.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA you can't make this shit up.

Why are you telling me this??... I live in Singapore....I see it everyday.
However, I also chose to leave my country of birth (mostly for economic reasons) and try to benefit in the same way whilst still being mildly patriotic.... i can't see what  you are getting at??

What I am getting at is the validity and complete lack of any substance behind the words of such people. I think it is apt to say you can measure a man's worth by his actions, not words.

This 'author' has much words, but little follow through. Just some very opportunistic attitude with some ignorant ethnic biases and bitchy mentality thrown in to give 'courage' (LOL) as some ignorant chinese called it, no doubt trying to mentally masturbate to the idea of 'standing up for yourself'. All the while their very identity and actions identify them as opportunistic cowards.

I don't know you, and that was a general detail of the fact about what these kinds of people actually did to put themselves in a position to write such articles.

Generalization is a fool's errand, but they need to get their own acts together if they don't want to be generalized.

Respect is a two way street, and these kinds of people who wrote these 'articles' know little more about them then children.


TLDR - author's a bitch and so is this article. If you want a legitimate criticism against bitcoin, examine the issue with some economists without at least overt political and ethnic biases.

Possibly, but by responding to racial bigotry with more of the same, you are just taking yourself down to his level.
Surely you can articulate your objective comments without resorting to this??!

The boy in question is a little cock sucker and chino bitch who like to think writing jr.high level of yellow (heh) journalism than getting pat on the head by his bosses equals professional competence.

He need a boot planted on his face and a cock up his ass. Probably won't be too hard seeing as how he's rimming his bosses all day long and writing this bull shit they cheekily call an article.



Why don't you take your racism out of here? All you do is spout racist crap everywhere and act like a little child. And what is your fixation with putting cocks up men's asses and homosexual sex acts? Is there something you're not addressing there?

Such deep and profound analysis. I am humbled by your 'enlightened' views Smiley

Quit your bellyaching and trying to play the moral high horse. If you actually understood the sentiment behind how this chino punk spews these 'articles', you will be less inclined to defend it.

Ignorant and naive children masquerading as 'mature' and 'enlightened'. It's so amusing how corrupted and childish the so called 'progressive' people are these days.



It's funny how naive and ignorant immature racists trolls are. What sentiment is behind the Chinese article etc? And what sentiment is behind your racist views? Your White American Supremacy?


BWAHAHAHAHA

I had no idea I was 'white'. I guess it takes such a 'mature' and 'intellgent' people like you to tell me who I am. Smiley

It's incredibly amusing to watch a fool trying to act intelligent.

Please, check yourself before thinking you can say anything 'intelligent' because you have a mouth. You are starting to sound like this kid who wrote this 'article', I mean 'bitch fest'.

'Laccciiiissstt'. Please. Do you even have your eyes and ears all the way open?

So simple. So naive.

Guys.... Hate to be the party-pooper but can we stay on topic??

Lets just all agree that the article was a load of shit.....

As quoted many times.....the Dollar/Physical Fiat is the currency of choice for most criminal activity.
