Of course bitcoin reached the market first, litecoin is a fork of bitcoin. Litecoin wouldn't have been possible without bitcoin.

I don't believe the core devs would change that number, it would screw so much up. Miners will keep mining for the transaction fees.

Because it came first, it's more well known, people pay more for it, litecoin was just a fork of bitcoin, scrypt isn't as popular as SHA-256.....

Bitcoin is many, many times more secure than traditional banking. The "hacking" you hear about is from people that either do not know how to properly secure a system that handles thousands of transactions, or from people that don't understand basic security and phishing.

Pick one currency and stick with it dude... is it $19.888 or 19.888BTC? You can't buy things in bitcoin-dollars.

I wish that I could use bitcoin to pay at tap-to-pay terminals, or even better where credit cards are accepted. In reality I would like to see people accepting bitcoin, but if we can use the technology that's already in place, it could make acceptance easier.

wangxinxi, please message me and tell me whether or not my posts would be considered acceptable for your program. If they are, then I might join this coming wednesday after this program's week is over.

Honestly I don't really understand fully what's happening, and what the difference between the three is, but all of these people acting self-entitled and like they know everything is just pissing me off.

Well I mean technically the best way to go at it if your end goal to double is to just bet the right amount on the right odds once, instead of playing a whole bunch of games. As your amount wagered goes up, the more the house edge will affect you.

How the hell can you even regulate the use of bitcoin...what do they do, have the ISPs block ports to bitcoin nodes? There are plenty of ways to get around that. I know some mining pools let you submit raw transactions to them.

I don't understand why people still choose to use wallets that take control of their money away from them...this is the reason we made bitcoin.

I don't think it's a good thing. It's a business that's built by abusing the mental problems of a lot of people. It's possible for it to just be fun, but for many that's not how it is.

I don't think there's an amount that anyone should own. As long as you have something, and you're using it to buy things/services, you're helping the economy.

Used gyft a while ago to buy like $500 in steam gift cards through some other website. I have a game problem. I haven't touched at least half of them.

I would invest into the bankroll of a gambling site, established ones with large volume have a good return on average.

I make BTC here from doing odd jobs that pop up on the forum, and sig campaigns. I spend it wherever I want. I don't really buy any, but I like to think I'm helping the economy with the little activity that I provide.

Sent my request for $10 after verifying my mobile number and email address, thanks again for the nice promotion.

So I can request $10 from firstcoins for the third wave now, or am I reading something wrong? I'll keep watching this thread.

So your idea is worth 50 cents? That doesn't even sound like an idea worth buying. Why would I want to purchase an idea?

I want anything I can do with fiat to be able to be done with bitcoin, regardless of the item, because that means I still have freedom with my money.
