No... I like that you are honest about losses as well as gains.

Half the problem I have learned here in BCF is people who cover up half the story. Like fruit machine gamblers who visibly win £100 when they invisibly pumped in £200

I am a Project manager by trade and I am struggling to overcome the risk level to start realy trading. I am possibly too sensible. 

Thanks for these insights. I too am furiously trying to learn as much as I can.

I appreciate the generousity of people much more experienced being prepared to share.

I do feel like I have learned an incredible amount over about the last year.

It could then be amassing more people over time while the rest is gradualy worked on.

Saying there are  "useable" wallets (complicated and technical heavy) is only a turn off for new discoverers without in depth technical knowledge and confidence.

I feel if the wallet included some mining capability too that could solve some of the other issues, such as securing the network against botnet attack and oversized pools.

Interesting, this is what banks can do I suppose. Try to cut it off at entry exit points.


Im interested in how collapsing currency could hope to convert over to bitcoin, or another crypto? wouldnt it need someone else prepared to sell them the coins in exchange for their increasingly worthless fiat?

Intrigueing, thanks.

Is it what you see though? or what you dont see?

a 2 fingers up with all they have withdrawn before it says goodbye

yeah, Photoshop or the kids dad is a bitcoin millionaire or how would they know it? spose the mum is a dodge looser

what about the occasional captcha type thing? that would stop bot nets

sold himself a few walls hmm

Or if he tried to sell 2 and the badger punched him out of the way and put in 2000


I wonder how valuable those auction coins feel now.

Who is a native? we may all be alien realy

This argument again.

After the collapse and then the following anarchy, who will be providing the electrical power to run your local wallet? who will provide/maintain the network infrasrtucture and routing, etc. to make BTC trades possible?


etc.

All aboard the train, so they can blow it up easier with a whale bomb

if they do something with iTunes then its in a lot of peoples pockets already tho, even if it is a bit dodge

I got another couple, hope it picks up a bit soon.

Maybe they "took him out" already.

Im sure he would be here and eager to contribute and enjoy the fruits of his early ideas.

Your bitcoil is spring back but in danger of still losing some more suzukis



The next 86400 seconds are crucial!!!1!one!
