What should I do with it?

Buy something. I'm planning to use my signature campaign payments for my first order on Rakuten.

Yes. It has been mentioned a few days ago: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1000780.0

Why are you using a random url shorter for that link? This forum doesn't trust stuff like that, change it to the long url.

The url shortener OP is using officially belongs to the New Zealand Herald

So this was legal in Scotland until now?

Smoking should be banned in most places IMO. It's easier to stop smoking if you can't do it everywhere. I stopped smoking a year ago.

We are not a scam, and listed on Crypto::Stocks (CS), but the fact the owner of the site could care less about it has generated many scams.

Maybe not a scam, but it's still illegal to offer unlicensed securities.

(the "Terms of Service" of Crypto Stocks saying that offers are not securities doesn't make it legal)

Not if you give out 100s of loans to the correct people (those with background/trust on the forums).

People are selling forum accounts - so trust on the forums doesn't mean much. Any reliable user will be able to provide a collateral.

You said that if demands go down, the price will decreased? Hahaha your talking to demand and supply relationship. The demand and price relationship is when the demand goes down the price will increased. And vice versa

Demand going down means that people are willing to pay less per Bitcoin.

Quote

Demand is a buyer's willingness and ability to pay a price for a specific quantity of a good or service. Demand refers to how much (quantity) of a product or service is desired by buyers at various prices. The quantity demanded is the amount of a product people are willing to buy at a certain price; the relationship between price and quantity demanded is known as the demand.[1] (see also supply and demand). The term demand signifies the ability or the willingness to buy a particular commodity at a given point of time, ceteris paribus.

Well i have my reasons not to share my private info on forums obviously

I'm not surprised about that. Selling unlicensed securities may cause some trouble for you.

Why should I buy (or even just download) your software when there are tools doing the same that are open-source? So there's no need to pay or trust you.

Why would I release the source code after i worked on it so hard?

Why would nobody buy them they are very useful for enhancing the bitcoin experience.

People don't simply trust you to build secure applications. You're only registered since 2015 and don't seem to have any reputation. You also don't seem to be sharing your real name and contact information - most people won't run software made by a random person on the interwebs (unless it's open-source software)

I know that the FBI holds the most amount of bitcoin in the world, at aournd liek 100000 bitcoins

AFAIK the U.S. government seized 173,991, but sold 30k of that in June 2014, 50k in December 2014 and 50k in March 2015

~43,991 Bitcoins should be remaining from SR, of course their stash could grow again, if people continue to do stupid things (other SR-like markets, unregistered brokers/dealers, etc.)

I am sure that the banks that are getting involved with crypto currency have their own stock of it, for normal bank like purposes.

It's highly unlikely that any bank keeps Bitcoins directly as a part of their assets - if they want to get involved they will acquire shares in Bitcoin companies or licensed Bitcoin funds

Maybe people will donate to your projects if you release the source code, but I highly doubt that anyone will buy your software.

Even if you make it all open source you'll have to do a good job to get some donations.

Your followers seem to be mostly real when analyzed with twitteraudit.com, however they are following you because you're following them -> they are not reading your content, just following back so you keep following them. Try posting interesting stuff and get a real audience.

Potential Greek exit would destroy the entire Eurozone.

Greece only makes up for ~3.4% of the Eurozone.

For Americans: It's like New Jersey leaving the Federal Reserve System. Would it hurt? Yes. Would it destroy the system? Nope.

The thing is most people don't see buying stuff with bitcoin as worth it when they can buy the exact same things with fiat, because fiat will not go up and bitcoin will go up, so whats the point.

If you look at the chart since Jan 2014 it's mostly going down.... Bitcoin will go up maybe one day, but it takes people to actually use it to be valuable.

Since you're offering several unusual services for 5 USD maybe you should also try it on Fiverr.com (afaik they accept Bitcoin too, but you'll get paid in USD - I don't know about their fees)

Move them to your own wallet, unless you're planning to trade them on Bitstamp very soon.

Make sure to install all security updates for applications on your computer before you install bitcoin-related software + update your anti-malware software and scan your system.

The issue is more likely local PC security related than it is to blockchain.info . If your local machine has malware or the network you are on is insecure ( sniffing, mitm, etc ), then it would be easy for an attacker to get access to your session and steal your coins. I think blockchain.info is fairly safe to use as long as you ensure the security of your local machine and network. Having an offline wallet or hardware device is of course always preferred at the slight cost to convenience.

It might be better now, but blockchain.info is not exactly known to be secure.

Lolwhat? Well, it seems that we have another mindless copy-paster...

Guys, before beginning to write anything you do really need to use your brain on the direct purpose. Grin

Why would anyone use Bitcoin who wants their part of Ukraine to become part of a country that effectively outlaws Bitcoin? What am I missing? It doesn't make any sense. Of course they have to be insane if they want to be part of Russia, but that's another story.

The german translation of CoinURL sounds like it was done using Google Translate.

By the way: I think you could get more advertisers if you provide non-bitcoin payment options too (maybe bitcoin-friendly companies like OKPay, Neteller)

I suggest the OP and all we to buy more bitcoin, this is the only valid way for increase the price (or better) the value of bitcoin itself. Destroy it will not raise the value (or at least not now, maybe in the next 20-25 years).

Buy more bitcoins if you have money you can afford to lose. I suggested 'spend bitcoins', even thought many merchants will sell those coins (Overstock keeps 10% in Bitcoin IIRC) - if they are seeing increased sales they will probably recommend Bitcoin --> increases the chance of more people using it.
