It's more like trying to keep customers.
And this isn't an easy task with all they have on the record so far.

And the signal ceased and we're on 600+ on Gox.
Got to love how fast the situation can change.

Hello,
I wonder how things will unfold this Christmas.
Sure , lots of people will stop doing trades , watching the prices on x-mas and during New Year , but a lot won't.
How many traders will still be active these days? And will some manipulator try to take advantage of this?

The real problem is the adoption of the Bitcoin.
Many people jump to mine it with ASICs but only few start business based on Bitcoin and other coins.
This make the Bitcoin price vulnerable to speculations.
This is so painfully true. Price is going up but the number of users and transactions hasn't followed it at least by 10%. Mass adoption will help stabilize the price but those daily price changes deter some people so we end up running in circles. |

With over 42% of the US population aware of bitcoin, it makes sense that Bitcoin should probably be an American thing. Nowhere else, except european countries (where the Dutch apparently have 1% of the population owning bitcoin) is bitcoin so popular. And the legal/political system so free. :-)
W8 , there are 150k+ bitcoin owners in the Netherlands? Any source for this ? Cause I find it amazing Also , I deeply believe that the EU zone will be the one that really drives mass adoption , not this speculation bubble in China! We need real shops and real users , not day traders. |

Once the drone lands just throw a net on the damn thing and take it home. If Amazon comes looking for their drone just tell them that you had seen it flying in a north northeastern direction about an hour ago. Do you really believe they will send those things without a gps tracking device on them ? What I'm more concern about would be that they even might get a camera on board , and film everything on their way. Not nice having a few hundred camera watching your every step around the city. |

What happened to the "China wants to get rid of the $ , China is embracing BTC as a new currency? .
We're talking about a country that holds it's own currency , the yuan at bay to help exports.
Wake up people. It was a nice ride but we need a real country for the next step , and that ain't China!

Can somebody tell me , are merchants banned from using Bitpay also?
Because they are not selling their products for Bitcoins , they are selling them for $.
It's the same as accepting a foreign credit card with a different currency , isn't it?
Ups , I missed the "priced in BTC| part.

True believers don't care about price , they care about use and adoption.
The people who care about the price are the opportunist finding a new place to earn some money.

Yeap South Korea is very Internet Friendly so am not surprised they cottoned on to the Bitcoin Idea plus Indians are also very Tech Savvy so it is about time we had new players. If BTC Trading was dominated only by Europeans and the Chinese then it would be like an open market war..We need some balance as to where all this coin is going to.
Agreed. South Korea could be a huge market depending on regulation. Not so sure about India though. Japan is very quiet?!? Japan was one of the first. MtGox is there. Yes , but apart from MtGox being there and Satoshi Nakamoto having a Japanese name , not much happening in Japan , or at least no news about it. |

Isn't there one single chinese speaking individual in the whole western world who's able to translate these rumours etc. into understandable English  It happened also the last time and I don't understand why! We have a subforum for chinese speaking and even some moderators for these. Isn't there at least one person who can speak both chinese and english? I'm getting tired of those rumors and everyone asking what it really means endlessly. |

In a hypothetical situation, if satoshi ever comes back, does he has the power to kill crypotcurrency?
YES. Let's say he comes back and says "Okay guys, we're upgrading to Bitcoin 2.0. This new digital currency has worked out all the bugs found in Bitcoin and is infinitely more efficient and has all these new features not seen in currency before. Time to upgrade!" Then everyone will switch over. DUHHHHHHHHHHH By your reasoning , if Bill Gates launches a new operating system , you really think everybody will switch to "Doors 8"? More likely people will start arguing about the new features and about why he had come back and promote this. Lots will see cia and nsa involvement with his re appearance. |

I assume the price correlates to adoption (users) vs coin supply. I bought a few coins when they were $27 and sold when it broke $100 thinking that was amazing.
So you really think we have seen a 50x times increase in bitcoin users since January? I doubt it! |

I sure hope so. Fraud doesn't exist for a Bitcoin merchant.
So we go from a few people scamming a few vendors , to a few vendors scamming a lot of people  . Each system has its advantages and its disadvantages , that's why we have lots of payment processors. |

If they can carry a Ipad they could go and carry almost 1kg of drugs.
Their advantage will be in numbers , good luck stopping a few thousands of those each day.

If the coins were in his wallet , and he didn't had a brain wallet so he could remember his password , the only way to get them would be to recover the wallet.dat for the hdd , and hope it isn't corrupted.
Like a guy from 2010 that bought 1000 BTC had a "brain wallet". What are the odds?  I would consider them better than having that wallet.dat recovered. Also I said If , give the man a piece of hope at least. |

Aren't there better places to sell gold than on a bitcoin forum?
If you want BTC and you already have a good reputation on the board , it's far better than e-bay. Also , isn't this the reason we have a Marketplace subforum? Good luck , with your sales , I'm not a fan of gold myself. |

I don't care much about the Palestinians. There are around two dozen countries ruled by Muslim Arabs. They can migrate to those countries. On the other hand, Israel is the only Jewish nation. Where will they go?
And another point is that, more than a million Jews were living in Arab countries such as Yemen and Iraq until 1948. All of them were expelled and their assets were seized. I'd like to hear whether the Palestinian activists condemn that expulsion or not.
well we Jews have one other "state" its rather nice. The name sounds like Biohazard. But that isn't an autonomous country , it's a mix of everything. Also , I wonder what would they choose now : Madagascar , Uganda or Alaska . |

Always , before watching a video or reading an article I check the source.
And in this case is RT or Russia Today. Not the best source for fair coverage of the story.

Ukraine can compete with Russian in the size of wheat production. The Russians have almost 80 000 km2 of land dedicated to wheat production , that's 1/7 of the size of Ukraine. Amazing fact I discovered while browsing around , Kazakhstan is top 8 in wheat exports. . Speaking of laziness. |
