what's the point of the shirt, why is it in different fonts? if there's no reason for it, i wouldn't buy the shirt. there also needs to be a logo as well.

Relax they are back down to 32%.
No. Every "relax" lead to a come back. yeah this is what i was gonna say. always be paranoid when a company has that much potential to control what happens to your assets. i'm always on edge when it comes to something like this. the moment you relax is the moment someone can get aggressive. |

there are a lot of republicans around here, more than i thought would be. i dislike republicans more than i do obama, but i definitely don't like obama for a lot of reasons.. privacy concerns, expansion of government, foreign policy, bailing out wallstreet, appointing a cable exec to be head of the FCC..

I can't see why any Members or Full Members would join that campaign. Doesn't make any sense to.
The per post pay rate is low, but there is a 10% ref bonus. So, people may join it, if they have confidence to really draw people to the site. i guess if you are a poster with a lot of clout and a semi-celebrity here, it could work out better for you. |

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Merchant's cost of accepting cash
|
on: June 17, 2014, 09:04:13 AM

the question is: why spend bitcoin if it will be worth more in the future?)
Or, why acquire bitcoin in the first place, because it might be worth 999 decillion dollars in the future? At what point do you stop converting your fiat to something you will never use because you're waiting for it to be worth infinitely more? i think his point was that if bitcoin were ubiquitous like paper notes, and were the main medium of exchange for goods/services, then people would not spend it.. which doesn't help with growth in the economy. it can't be used like the way cash is for that reason. |

of course girls love bitcoin.. it's basically money, or a means of exchange to get goods or services you like or want. they are just generally not interested in the techy side behind it.. but the thing is, they don't need to.

Bitcoin / Legal / Re: secret opinion of Chinese government on Bitcoin
|
on: June 17, 2014, 08:53:01 AM

The Chinese Gov't has been buying up holdings in BTC for a long time now. They will ease up on some of the regulations once they feel that they have a large enough holding to give them the sense of control.
This is probably not true. The chinese government likes to keep control of their currency (that restrict the price their fiat currency trades at in dollars and have restrictive capital controls). Bitcoin would not give them this level of control. and more specifically, they don't want chinese citizens to move their money out of the country, as they consider this as something that will hurt their economy. i think the state wants to control everything so badly that it won't accept bitcoin.. because bitcoin makes controlling shit a lot harder. |

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: MINERS UNITE! Block the FBI coins. Do not fund violent underground organizations
|
on: June 17, 2014, 08:45:25 AM

if we all block the FBI from making the transaction, wouldn't it make bitcoin more centralized that most people are wanting? doesn't that pose a dilemma then? while i don't like what the FBI has done, i think OP's proposal is a little extremist.
It would not make the Bitcoin network more centralized. It would make it so that bitcoin would not be fungible. How it is now if you were to go to the marketplace section of the forums and offer to buy a couch (or another good) from a user for 1 BTC, they would accept your offer, you would send the 1 BTC and they would send the couch. It would not matter "which" BTC you sent as the 1 BTC that was sent is exactly the same as any other 1 BTC that any other person/entity has. If you were to "block" the FBI bitcoin from being transferred/sold then each bitcoin could potentially have a different value. Even if the FBI coins are never sold, your 1 BTC may have a lessor value because they are somehow tainted with an address that is believed to have stolen coins in the past. You would have had absolutely nothing to do with the subject theft but would still suffer. i'm not sure how your point relates to centralization not being an issue. what i see is this: people who don't like what the FBI is doing (and i am one of them), so they decide to group up and prevent the FBI from doing whatever it wants to do.. this is kind of like a political move too. if bitcoin were truly decentralized, you wouldn't be able to force your will upon them. |
