there has always and will always continue to be a 'natural' demand for certain items including gold but you have to ask yourself what the price of gold would be without all of the speculation and performance chasing. Take oil for instance, there was no way that the value of oil would have flown from $100 to $150 a barrel right before crashing down to $40 back in 2008 if speculation did not have a huge part in the run-up. Yet, during that run-up everyone was saying that oil would never go down since the oil demand will keep going up while supply would keep going down. No one even considered that the world economy would crash and destroy demand. Now you see the same thing with gold; everyone just assumes that gold demand will keep going up because they rationalized it to themselves the same way that we did with oil; demand and price keep going up therefore both will always go up. But, think to yourselves if the world economy crashed again; even Indians would be buying food and other necessary items rather than gold. The worst mistake that you can make in the investment world is thinking that a certain trend will last forever just because it is happening now.



gold down nearly 5% today ~ nice call

edit: assuming those are London Good Delivery bars @ 12.5Kg each, then that's about $34,000 per brick minus - ouch  Sad

We don't know how it works. I'm a gun enthusiast and there could be a valid and legal market place for this. Why would this market be any different from any other? I've bought a gun online before, legally.

Pretty much there are 3 steps.
1). find and pay for the gun via paypal, credit card, OR BITCOIN
2). That FFL ships it to an FFL dealer near you
3). you go to your FFL and do the required paperwork. If you fail, you don't get the gun.

OR, if you have your C&R (curio and relic) FFL (federal firearms license) then you can get a C&R firearm sent to your house directly.

Or, in other countries it may vary.


Until we get more information on how it works, it's not fair to the market to automatically assume it's illegal.

if the mark up is 2 or 3 times or more than a FFL transaction then it's probably black market or 'buyer beware' a LE entrapment sting - that can be international

personally I'm all for a free market in just about anything, but if this site facilitates postal kids going mi vida loco or the psychotically deranged tooling themselves up where as most country's jumping through hoops regulations would make this less likely then I'm not too sure that the benefits out way the potential losses

though as always, what ever can be done will be done & things evolve to take account of that - ie, I don't see that if this is a problem then it's a Bitcoin problem, if it wasn't BTC then it would be some other form of semi-anon transfer made of which many already exist

Like cash Smiley

I've not been on the site to see price. If anyone knows how to get on it, I'd like to check it out. If guns are shown with the serial number filed off, it's pretty obvious that it's black market. Fully automatics won't show up on here unless they're from outside the country. I'd be able to judge it better if I knew how to get to it.

Also, Portnoy, they killed the registry because it's too costly to keep running and serves no purpose. Of all of the police I talked to, I got the same response. The registry does not matter to them because they have to go in expecting a gun regardless. If they go inside with their guard down because the registry shows no gun at that residence, then they may be in for a world of hurt. Also, I don't appreciate the snarky comment about gun owners being red necks.



like The Silk Road you need to access it via the Tor network, quite straightforward once you Google it, I'm not going to do a walk through for it as I haven't been there for ages which was just to look see so it doesn't spring to mind & also so as not to facilitate access to those who may be better off not visiting those dodgy lands, if they can't work it out for themselves then they probably shouldn't be there

@aqoin muy bueno, si señor, solo que las palabras se las lleva el viento, yo no pongo ni un centimo con vuestro servicio hasta que no tengo algun dato palpable que me ayude a recuperarlo en caso de que pase alguna desgracia.
Telefono de contacto, certificados publicos PGP (se tarda 5 minutos en hacer uno) y una direccion no creo que sea demasiados datos y que os perjudiquen personalmente si son hechos publicos, pero ayudarian muchisimo para haceros un minimo de credibilidad.

El mejor consejo que he recibido es no fiarme de nadie en este mundo, y no me ha fallado hasta ahora.

lastima, seems like you guys don't get the Parapain seal of approval as yet

yep I too got this .ru one a couple of days ago, the last one was .tk or .tw if I remember correctly but otherwise the same, I'm still waiting for the first Intersango phish since their emails got broadcast not so long ago

Think about buying gold when you see commercials about how to sell your gold for cash (which they'll then say is more useful than gold at this point). Learn to never follow the crowd and your investing will always take a turn for the better Smiley

Whoa your not even bullish on precious metals, physical that is...

While I don't necessarily disagree, there have never been more Sell your Gold - We buy Gold commercials than in the last few years

a search is your friend there, plenty of Ruskie one's if that's any help & just curious if you're Chinese what are you doing with those dreaded 4's in your user name? perhaps you're not or it's some cryptic that I haven't goxed as yet..
2957  Economy / Economics / Re: How bit is Bitcoin's presence in China? on: February 28, 2012, 12:42:02 AM
I'd imagine atm bigger in Honk Kong province but look see:

http://www.blockchain.info/nodes-globe?series=48hrs

edit: & as Honk Kong is most likely where Zhoutong will shortly incorporate Bitcoinica we may see a big growth of interest there when it's officially registered as a Ltd. Co./Inc.
2958  Economy / Economics / Re: How bit is Bitcoin's presence in China? on: February 28, 2012, 12:15:56 AM
Zhoutong just made Chinese the second language of choice on Bitcoinica

www.bitcoinica.com/trading

    简体中文

select language

I hope that Zhou Xiaochuan, the head of the People's Bank of China, takes note
