Ich denke zwar es wäre möglich, aber es macht kaum Sinn eine Krypto-Währung zu machen die von der Finanzpolitik einer Zentralbank abhängig ist.

Energiepreise und andere Assets sind ebenfalls extrem volatil - und nicht für jeden Menschen von gleicher Bedeutung.

Ich denke mit steigender Nutzerzahl wird Bitcoin wohl langsam an Volatilität verlieren.

I'm not using Bitfinex myself but just looked at their charts. Can you go short on LTCBTC or LTCUSD or both?

But you're only dealing with small amounts, right?

Based on other account sales I guess the best you will get for 0.08 BTC is a Jr. Member  (Sr. Member if you're lucky)

Wait what? OKCupid and Badoo are already accepting Bitcoin  (I think it's only available in a few countries on Badoo) .

Get money or ask someone to issue money for you if you have friends in a central bank.

Ah yep, that could be the reason. I just compared the model number (18238 vs. 18038)

Keeping your funds on well-known Bitcoin services with known owners should work.

Xapo and Coinbase do have a Vault option and they are insured like banks.

I told my family about Bitcoin a long time ago, but I'm not putting any pressure on them. I'm keeping them updated on Bitcoin events and what I'm doing with it tho.

I'm not giving away coins for free, because they are valuable to me and I think they'd just have no idea what to do with them.

I once ordered pizza with Bitcoin when I visited my brother  - especially his girlfriend was very impressed.

Awesome. I will visit them when I'm in Vienna again (probably in May)

I didn't expect that. It's essentially government-funded Bitcoin use:

There's always a small chance.


I didn't say it has anything to do with it, but it's the same guy.

Not "at any cost" - but if another candidate supports Bitcoin I'd certainly compare their positions (if I was a U.S. citizen)

Edit: Can you provide a link to a reliable source for your claims? That's just a random islamophobia anti-gay fascist website I have never heard of.

Okay. Now what if other candidates start accepting Bitcoin donations and support it. Will you do more research to determine the best candidate then?

I hope you get a pro-bitcoin candidate, but I also think stable foreign relations with Iran would be good (afair Rand Paul wants trade sanctions on Iran)

That's just how it looks from an angle - I just compared it to my watch.

By the way: Overstock doesn't have the exact same model, but I found a very similar model at a significantly lower price.

Of course Bitcoin is not very diverse at this point, but it also took several years until women started using computers and the internet (only social networks like FB, Twitter, Tumblr managed to get most women to use the internet every day)

People are excited about new things, but Bitcoin is still too complicated for most people (like old email addresses: customercare@63.239.67.9). We should encourage common standards to make it easier (a single unicode symbol, currency code, etc.)

I didn't even realize that the Nasdaq never surpassed the 2000 high until now (I'm only 25 so I didn't really watch international stock markets in 2000).


I guess it's time for a new rally with COIN (hopefully ready when the BitLicense is finalized) and some Nasdaq companies (MSFT, EXPE, OSTK, ...) accepting Bitcoin.

Fred Wilson: Oppressive bitcoin regulation could make Silicon Valley the 'next Wall Street'

http://www.bizjournals.com/newyork/news/2015/04/24/fred-wilson-silicon-valley-next-wall-street.html

My comment: Of course another place will get more Bitcoin business if the BitLicense turns out to be too restrictive and/or difficult to implement, but I hope the outcome will make it possible for most NY businesses and individuals to participate in Bitcoin.

I really hope they will allow it again - I'm using them just for the card (it's quite cheap compared to other options) - I'm not into gambling and stopped trading forex.

I can't tell you, but I hope that it works. We can try it out right now if you want.

I don't think their system marks these funds as unusable for card transactions after they are leaving your account.
