If central banks are involved why would anyone even think it won't be corrupt. The FED at its core is by definition a corruption of sound money.


I'm afraid this is exactly what I expected the FED would do.

Ypu miss one important fact and that is most people have no idea how the monetary system is set up and why Bitcoin is different to say a government backed coin that you can print/make more of. I can see the news reports now saying this is the new safe digital currency, safe because we can control it not like Bitcoin which is too unstable etc etc.


I started a thread some time back to discuss what the authorities would probably do as Bitcoin becomes a threat. One of the obvious ones was for the government to make a fiat type coin they can control.....and here we are.


What's the saying if you can't beat them join them. Well they just did. Sorry if this sounds insulting but your point that it has positive influence on the price is like saying I want to make a few bucks but I don't care about the life my future children and family will live in.

But I wonder if it can push the price of Bitcoin down like deriveratives do to Gold. I mean if the price of real Bitcoin on the excnages are one price and the eft is vastly different then no one will take it seriously. With Gold there is enough manipulation on the offical excnages like the Comex that no one realy can determine real market value.

The photo looks like an aerial shot of a North Korean work camp.

Seems to me once you have a deriverative then you can manipulate the price, this is what she is infamous for with Gold and other commodities. Assume the worst for her intentions. How well you can actually manipulate the price is probably up for debate, anyone know if it could in theory be done?

Looks good, I wonder if you could cut the number of links down seems a bit too much for me, prioritise bigger stories. Maybe have a most popular/trending section.

Don't need to stop at one, many people could make some. One which would be good is a Bitcoin app review of the best Bitcoin related apps on the market.

I have a good way to get users, I mean appart from Ninja downloading. I have downloaded most apps from recomended blogs or youtube videos. All somone needs to do if they have the skills is to make a youtube clip with say top 10 messengers apps etc and slip GetGems into the list. Something like this, they get a ton of hits. Getgems is an app just waiting to go viral.

Seems so cause on Polinex Gems is dropping quite badly in low vol.

Clearly if you know the project you will know the team is hard at work getting the iOS and Airdrop out, until then you shoudn't expect them to waste their time on PR if it cuts into the development.

Beyond that its very simple, if you believe in the project you count yourself lucky cause you can buy cheaply at the moment and if you don't then sell your tokens. Beyond that I'm pretty sure no one cares what you do.

Gems not being mentioned in that article is a serious oversight.


I keep repeating it but I hope GEMS PR puts a big focus on the advertising model that basically gives profits back to the users, that concept alone could revolutionise the Internet let alone chat.


I do also agree we need to get moving quickly I wish devlopment updates had at least a rough timescale for iOS and Airdrop?

This just shows how hot this space is. The more normal it becomes for people to use crypto the better. Ive said it before but sending coins is not the unique selling point of
Gems but the profit share and advertising model. There will be loads of coin texting apps in the coming years but replicating gems is unlikely for big players and will not be first to market for a new altcoin even if it can pull it off.

No it wouldn't it would require Bitcoin users to lose 1% of of all Bitcoin annually for 100 years or even .1% of coins in 1000 years. I'm not saying it's gonna happen anytime soon, I'm saying EVENTUALY there is a time all coins would be lost. I said nothing about being concerned about it, I'm just stating a fact.

So there will be a time in history that not one bit will be lost? Sure it will take many many years but it will happen at some point.

I personally believe all economies should really be deflationary. I mean the effort or cost to make a car should be decreasing generally over time as companies become more an more efficient/better at making the 'same' product. Sadly we have been feed the lie for the last hundred years that inflation is the norm. Bitcoin returns us to a defaltionary cycle. The only products that's should increase in price should be scarce resources or products using scarce resources.


Ps. Don't believe the bullshit that we are feed that deflation leads to people putting off purchases, with gas being a bit cheaper for most of us in the last 6 months did anyone buy less gas for their cars? In fact I personally probably bought more.

Statistically at some point all the bitcoins/bits will be lost. 

Is Counterparty really that weak? Seems to me it's a safe as any other bitcoin wallet possibly more. And my 'hot' wallet doesent seem that weak either. I would have to lose my phone and not know I lost it, and someone understand GEMS know my PIN number or my long address password, so if you don't have your password on your phone it's almost impossible to know your pin in a few attempts and I beleive it shuts down after a few?

Maybe I misunderstood but I thought the point is Android pay is going to be open source api. I therfore thought it's not about Android accepting Bitcoin but about someone building Bitcoin into Android pay.

I had about 4 BTCs worth of altcoins on BTER, in theory they should be safe cause what was stolen was BTC. My account has been showing my balance and I was just waiting to withdrawl. Now I see BTER is going to keep going as an excnage but my balance has gone to zero! Hopefully a glitch?


Edit: it just popped back up.

Hear me loud and clear. Gems when it releases its IOS and airdrop will moon far more than anyone even dared to dream.
