Terrorism can be related to anything. Or not. Same with bitcoin. Or anything else. Terrorists can deal with anything: money, bitcoin, gold. But all of a sudden they've got bitcoin to blame. How convenient.

And now they've found/created a reason to "regulate" bitcoin. I just hope it's not the end.

Sometimes I think that he created bitcoin on purpose for his own interests. Just a thought/theory. Anyways, it's an interesting idea. But be sure that he follows his creation close.

Only time will tell. But if you're right it might be quite something. I for one am interested to see how all this will end.

Exactly. No one is trying to belittle you, it's just that in our opinion (some of us at least) it makes no sense. Maybe lower the price a bit or something.

Even being a negative feedback is good to keep bitcoin alive,soo being good or bad feedbacks wont affect in any way the bitcoin ,just need to keep being talking about it,its wizzard bitcoin is soo related to the ilegal that it is growing and well time will teacth who didnt enter early to think twice about inovation.
I don't think you need to worry about bad advertising. Bitcoin won't be affected just because some reporter tried to stir the waves a bit with his article. This specific article doesn't even add up! It's all a bunch of nonsensical comparations. Maybe what's happening is exactly what they want. Bad advertising, the price drops, they buy, then when the price goes up they sell. Might be smarter than it seems at first glance. |

Agreed. But, does the US have jurisdiction everywhere or only on US soil? They can't shut down sites everywhere, can they?

You can use bitcoins in almost all places. It's just that you have to be smart about it. It's not that hard. Just use some common sense.

I'd say it's a marketing scheme. Oh, is bitcoin dead? All right. I'll sell all of it and get on with my life. And at the other end the guy smiles, gets the bitcoins and gets rich because other people are gullible.

I think there are a few reasons why people are still not using bitcoins
1. Not enough awareness
Even though there are alot of people out there that are usining the cryptocurrency , there are still millions that have not even heard of the crypto currency yet , so i think as times goes by there will be more and more awareness.
2. People are scared of the unknown
If they cant feel it or if know one controls it alot of people re scared of this concept and do not want to be part of a "risky venture"
3. Its hasnt really settled yet
This I think is very important if the bitcoin can keep a steady price for a long time I think more people will begin to trust and use it
Exactly. People are stuck in their ways. And don't like change. I know I don't. And it's not easy. But we all should adapt. And BTC has shown it's value already. |

Why laugh? We're having a discussion about a very smart man that might have just changed world economy forever. He should be proud about it.

Indeed. It is good to trade it. And it can be done. But you have to be smart about it. The fact is that just because it works doesn't mean that it's easy.

To be wise you must be rich. You need a clear work very hard and are lucky that you have won a lottery.
But often it is very hard working and saving good.
Not too much to spend.
That makes no sense. There are a lot of billionaires that have started from nothing. Hard work, smart work is what makes money. Not luck or anything else like that. It's proves by history. |

Yeah, ok, reading books about how other people made money, or to be more specific, how they say that they made money is one thing, but nothing beats real life experience. You want to know how to make money? Don't look for a specific method. It there was everyone would use it. Get out there and try things, learn things.
Very rightly said mate, there is no formula to get rich, if there would be a formula then everyone of us would be rich, its better that you focus on skills that you have and move ahead with it, if you have some skills that no one else has then you will get rich in a quick time. There are many examples of billionaires that gave up school, studies and focused on life. Not one guy, or two, or ten, lots. What do they have in common? They got out there and just started to do things. Yeah it's a risk, but what isn't? There is a risk that you step in a wrong way in the morning when you get out of bed an die. Studying is good but up to a point. Then you have to practice what you've learned. |

Yeah, it's fun until you lose it. Then the fun ends and you feel like kicking yourself in the head. The market is not very developed at the moment to spend bitcoin because it's still young but the potential is clear.

The exact user named satoshi wasn't used for some years. But yeah, maybe he has another user with which he peaks to see what happens. I don't think he can stay away from his creation.

Anything can be connected to the black market and since the beginning of time people did illegal things. If not money then salt, gold, feathers, whatever. Now bitcoins. The medium is not the problem. But I understand - bitcoin is powerful and the banking system is afraid of that. It's just like the oil industry trying everything to stop alternative fuel, because they would lose money.

They are probably trying to manipulate the coin value, so the price will go down and they can buy even more cheap coins
and sell them when the price is high again
You know, this is very likely actually. If you are sure that Bitcoin will stay firm in the future then you decide to buy BTC as much as possible. You start saying that Bitcoin is dead, media spreads the news, price drops, you buy, you win. Then, several years later, you write a book "How I Made My Millions". Simple. ) That is likely the case. Post on a lot of bearish topics, bring them up to light recently, and then start adjusting people's perceptions on how the price will turn. Then, as a lot of people start dumping as you continue the discussion, you can get profit off of it. It just requires a lot of influence to manipulate others. Eventually, if you have enough people being bullish, the majority of people will be sheep and follow the bandwagon and popular opinion. Psychology, yeah! Indeed. It's just marketing and manipulation. And many people believe such things. Power of suggestion and peer pressure. Sometimes it's too easy. |

I think most people are seeing bitcoin only as an investment option which is why many replies in this thread says that they don't spend their bitcoins and are saving it for a price increase, which is fine but they don't realize, if they use it wherever they possibly can then that will increase the price much faster.
So buy, save, spend and buy again.
Exactly, there should be a movement in bitcoins, it is useless to hold bitcoins without using it and only hoping that price will reach moon and that would be the right time to sell, if there is a rotation in bitcoins then price would be much higher and stable. Agreed. It's economics. And as with any economic system things have to be in motion for the system to survive and thrive. |
