sell all stock and buy bitcoin It was also said in November 2013, and we all know the story. Bitcoin is more risky than gold in my advice
More risk we take more outcome we will receive isn't it? Just like many quotes we've seen around "in the end we only regret the chances we didn't take". So it's time to decide to take a risk now or regret later. So are you advocating penny stocks over blue chips because they are more risky?  |

I thought this would be a fun little project and more productive then having 15-20+ paper wallets. Sadly i'm not as competent with computers as most of you here, although I can usually manage after a few hours of frustration. I was hoping somebody, or a few people could help dumb this down for me so i can understand it. Below I posted everything I’m supposed to do; assuming i don't encounter problems along the way.  At the moment I’m stuck on step 18. of this tutorial www.bootc.net/archives/2012/05/26/how-to-build-a-cross-compiler-for-your-raspberry-pi/
18. Just add your compiler directory to your $PATH and start compiling. If you used my preferred prefix directory, you would want to add /opt/cross/x-tools/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi/bin. I have ubuntu as my operating system for my raspberry pi, but i'm not sure exactly how to move the compiler directory to the raspberry pi, or even exactly what the $PATH is.  Now give your compiler a quick sanity check: bootc@tarquin ~ $ arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc --version
arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc (crosstool-NG 1.15.2) 4.6.4 20120402 (prerelease)
Copyright (C) 2011 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO
warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. bootc@tarquin ~ $ cat > test.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main() { printf("Hello, world!\n"); return 0; }
^D
bootc@tarquin ~ $ arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc -o test test.c
bootc@tarquin ~ $
Copy over the newly compiled test program to your Raspberry Pi and run it. You should see:
bootc@raspberrypi:~$ ./test
Hello, world!
bootc@raspberrypi:~$
Here is the next tutorial, https://gist.github.com/FiloSottile/3646033 I'm stuck on applying the patch. Now that you have your arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-g++ working in your $PATH, clone the Armory repo git clone git://github.com/etotheipi/BitcoinArmory.git
cd BitcoinArmory This is the next step i don't understand exactly, how do i apply the patch to the two make files? Obviously i save it as CXX.patch, but what next?

This is a disgrace. Marijuana was illegal for a reason you blind idiots. So many people are going to die from overdoses of heroin, and crystal meth. It's a well reported FACT that marijuana is a gateway drug. I fear the worst for America at this point. It's very possible that this will spread and become a pandemic infecting everyone in the U.S. I can picture it now, over 75% of the population addicted to crystal meth. What was colorado thinking? Not to mention all the high drivers destroying cities. My head is spinning. It's so sad because we were very close to winning the war on drugs, it's public enemy #1. Think about it... If it went on for a few more years, we might just beat the bastards. There was a lot of money funded into the drug war, rightfully taken out of our taxes. (that's the duty of every free American). The pot users( TERRORISTS, CRIMINALS) are going to ruin this country. I fear i must renounce my citizenship and move to cyprus. They have some proactive ideas. Freedom comes at a hefty cost these days. One Cypriots are willing to pay. I won't stay here and watch the downfall of what was once a beautiful country. It truly sickens me to see a country go this low...do you guys remeber the dark ages? a priority wasn't placed on drugs then...look what happened, nothing no progress. When drugs became illegal and privatized everything took a turn for the better.
So no banks at all in the US can have anything to do with Cannabis dispensaries?
All the money generated and no taxes? Get real people. Unless it's going to backfire to all the people caught up in the exuberance and charging them with tax evasion on untaxable income...sounds reasonable sadly |

Max keiser is a very successful troll, what else do people do when they're rich from bitcoin in their freetime? Bitcoin will rise, and it will fall...wait, he predicted that!!!! max is a prodigy One must leave plenty of room for doubt whenever Mr. Keiser provides us with such "hints," but, nonetheless, we need a thread to discuss the possibility: https://twitter.com/maxkeiser/status/419497007678382080On Reddit, people are wondering about the "recurring billing" problem with bitcoin. But I'm thinking "view on demand"! There would be a "View Now" QR-code next too each movie and when you pay it in bitcoin it immediately starts to stream. No account required (or an automatic cookie-based account similar to just-dice.com). Keiser is going to be the next Fontas. maybe he is fontas Or maybe he is Satoshi? Or perhaps even both? nah I think Charles Lee is satoshi The Litecoin inventor? ya .. I think it was invented by the Lee's brothers and backup by wealthy Chinese people. Seriously? Alex Jones thinks Keiser is Satoshi BTW, but he's a fucking idiot.  Normally i would only quote the relevant comment, but for visualization purposes i just wanted to point out how ridiculous quoting every comment of a conversation is... Please quote me |

It is a catastrophe, but not as big of one as it is made out to be. It doesn't help that TEPCO hasn't handled the situation properly, IMO.
The public has a hard time understanding the science behind these type of things, so it is easy to work people into hysterics.
Ask the average person how many people died from Chernobyl, and in general, their answer will differ drastically from the actual number.
Granted, you don't want meltdowns to occur. But this isn't going to cause "mass casualties of aquatic life in nearly every ocean and hazardous levels of background radiation along Pacific coastlines or worse."
How does Bitcoin respond, you ask? It doesn't, they are not related.
Not many people know that some people still live in chernobyl too  (besides technicians) |

So.. when is the hodlcoin ready to mine?  Are you able to buy and sell hodlcoin? Or will one of the properties be that you have to hodl it forever? |

The likelihood that the NSA is interested in stealing anyones bitcoin private keys is smaller than winning the lottery every month. Although that doesn't mean they don't have the means to do it, which I believe is the title of this thread if I’m not mistaken. Someone could figure out how to exploit these backdoors...which some have done in the past. Luckily they were presented as opposed to used.
Good thing the majority of security conscious people don't keep their coins on a phone anyway they use Armory, paper wallets, etc.

Paper wallet I have the rest on exchanges, physical bitcoins, and electrum. I plan on moving some to an offline armory wallet but i'm comfortable with this for now. |

the NSA are not that special. so will people stop FUDDing the forums with government conspiracies.
if you want some bitcoin related evidence that NSA are hopeless. look at the DPR news. the NSA had to send DPR's wallet over to the UK's intelligence office to brute force the password. the NSA cant crack encryption, nor do they have the computer power or skill to bruteforce.
So basically because the NSA can't break encryption they designed to be unbreakable they should be laughed at? I guess we shouldn't worry about mass surveillance, and the exploitation of our brothers and sisters?(paid for with our tax dollars of course) Drones? Lol nah, NSA can't break pgp encryption and sha-256 breh the NSA are not that special. so will people stop FUDDing the forums with government conspiracies.

You got to be kidding us, UK intelligence agency has more computing power to bruteforce a password then the NSA True. Is there a source to this claim? |

Government won't allow it to happen. Pure and simple. AKA China/India and soon to follow others.
If government gets in the way of the world, side with the world. The majority of people DGAF about bitcoin and it honestly does very little to help the average person(besides confuse them). To the normal person who is scared of new things, they will never use it. EVER. "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has." |

Communism seeks to transcend national boundaries and promote a worldwide proletariat revolution, where the foot soldiers are bound together not by a common nationality but by their membership in the same economic class.
United nations?  2. They try to regulate encryption technologies using licensing requirements etc, has that been successful? They try to regulate drugs, do you think that has been successful? They try to regulate torrenting, how has that been going? Do you have an argument to explain how bitcoin, or more specifically cryptocurrency in general will be different? I don't think shutting down all the exchanges will end bitcoin, local bitcoins and other similar methods will still exist. Although the liklihood of that happening is incredibly small at this point anyway. Unlike bitcoin, those are all purely digital things. You don't go to the store to exchange milk for a pirated DVD. That being said, bitcoin CAN be used in purely digital format. Buying anything digital online. Gold, drugs, guns, prostitution, alcohol, (i left out a lot use your imagination.) are all digital? Goes to show you aren't reading anything therefore not considering it. You're trying to be right and just jumping to conclusions. Sad thing is I’m mostly agreeing with you. Take a step back and relax, then you can think. |

Every prostitute should have these.... I think i might become a pimp and start the first bitcoin prostitute service? I was thinking the same thing this was talk about years ago... no one did it. These things take time, patience is a virtue Every prostitute should have these.... I think i might become a pimp and start the first bitcoin prostitute service? 1. Will the service be international? 2. Will the service be available in regions where it is banned currently (eg. Saudi Arabia, Sudan.etc) 3. Will your company be publically listed in some BTC-based stock exchange? 1. Yes, the companies listed country of origin will be either north korea or Ecuador. Still have to see if kim is interested in the offer, he can be bipolar sometimes though so i'm not sure how it's going to go. I'm telling him it should add nicely to the gun running and drug trading porfolio his regime currently has. Sadly the service won't be offered in north korea except for respected party members. (kims decision not mine, he's very hard to negotiate with) Chances are good that we should strike a deal with richard branson due to his enthusiasm with bitcoin. Were still in the planning phase at the moment but things are looking on the bright side. 2. Yes, the service will have a discrete option as requested, obviously this service has a premium and a few disclaimers. Prostitutes choosing to work in these regions will be paid handsomely due to the risk involved. I'm looking into offering a training program on a case by case basis for covert prostitutes. Oil tycoons will gladly pay the hefty premiums, choosing the safe route just isn't worth it when presented the potential gains from these regions. 3. After it's up and running i'll look into getting a few thousand ipos released on havelock. |

Trolls ranting at one another
First i want to start off by saying this is obviously going nowhere. I can't forsee us drinking tea in the future, and that kind of upsets me. 1. I'd say it's more socialism than communism, although the end goal of communism and socialism are almost 100% the same. Socialism is just more subtle and appealing to people. 2. They try to regulate encryption technologies using licensing requirements etc, has that been successful? They try to regulate drugs, do you think that has been successful? They try to regulate torrenting, how has that been going? Do you have an argument to explain how bitcoin, or more specifically cryptocurrency in general will be different? I don't think shutting down all the exchanges will end bitcoin, local bitcoins and other similar methods will still exist. Although the liklihood of that happening is incredibly small at this point anyway. 3.You need a better argument than using just Bitcoin. You're acting like it's the only cryptocurrency that has a future.Crypto anarchy can exist alongside governments. Of course there will still be coercive governments that exist and enforce corrupt laws. People will have to decide which system resonates with them. Sadly the truth is many people today will choose perceived safety and security and follow their elected leaders. |

The IRS doesnt give 2 shits about your bitcoins....as long as you are paying them what they want....they leave you be....when you cause waves and try to cheat....thats when the fun begins....
that or when government decides it wants to control whether we can or can't use bitcoins.. the IRS will come after you. You didn't define "what they want" My understanding says what they want is "more" or as much as possible. Although they simply don't have the resources to audit everyone, why do you think fraud is on the rise? That doesn't mean they won't come after your ass when they can. A nice database with all of your information is easily at their disposal when needed. All they need is probable cause, think of it as a bond. The government has already decided a lot of things it wants to control. In all cases it's failed, it's biggest success has been instilling fear in people. It's pretty good at arresting and killing innocent people too, it seems to improve on these constantly. But as every brainwashed person says, if you aren't doing anything wrong don't worry.(yet they break laws without even realizing it constantly) As long as it isn't effecting you, you're fine. Just don't be mad when the time comes it is effecting you, because everyone else will be dead or in prison. |

Just wanted to say, I still think bitcoins can hit $1000. I am not trying to say it can't go up higher.
My point in saying is that the whole price is a house of cards. The only reason it can sustain these price levels and move higher is because so many bitcoin hodlers do not sell, they do not need to. However, if anything happened which caused just a small increase in bitcoin hodlers cashing out the whole thing would come collapsing down.
I already have stated that the reason why the price would go higher is simply that bitcoin hodlers are not selling just hodling for a higher price. I never said that bitcoin was a good investment, it is a highly risky one and the potential returns you would get are not worth the risk of paying $700 for a bitcoin. Actually, you would have to be a insanely stupid investor to buy bitcoins to speculate with at the ridiculously price level it is at now.
The price level it is priced in now was based largely on huge growth in china that is not turning out very good.
I do not buy bitcoins to speculate with them, I buy them only to quickly buy other investments with the bitcoins. However, these investments are somewhat tied to the bitcoin price. This is only why I hope that the price at least hodls or stabilizes as if that happened I would do very well. I have done well with my non-bitcoin investments even with the price drops that bitcoin has had. This is only because I choose the proper investments.
Thanks guys for not trying to refute my point or support it. Instead you try and attack my reputation. You are obviously bitcoin hodlers who know that your betting on a house of cards and the last thing you want is it to collapse.
However, I think there are many other who will see my point and understand that what I write makes lots of sense and I wait for someone to counter what I wrote here.
If you invest what you're willing to lose there shouldn't be a problem. I think the chances of 10,000 are better than 0. But honestly who cares about either of our opinions? Time will tell, and many will most likely regret not buying. More and more people are getting interested in bitcoin, simply due to its superiority to other currencies. Just because it isn't as widely accepted/used doesn't mean it isn't a superior form of transacting. Fiat has been used by many generations before us so we are naturally accustomed to it. Bitcoin is still new and very bizarre to people when they're first introduced. These things take time, crypto is the future, that really isn't a question. The question is which one it will be and when. You should just be happy with however many coins you have and be grateful to be witnessing this. I'm certain looking back will be very interesting however this plays out. People hodling bitcoins is good, when all the current hodlers decide it's time to "cash out" someone else will buy those coins and become a new hodler. What's wrong with saving bitcoin? Many people believe it will be successful in the future for one reason or another. |
