According to the Occupy Wall St. Bears, anyone with that % profit is an evil capitalist ponzi market manipulator and doesn't care about bitcoin. If I invest in a low-yield government scheme with an insolvent counterparty, as was suggested by someone else in this thread, or a 'stable' stock in a too-big-to-fail government-approved behemoth, and end up losing money due to rampant inflation or REAL market manipulation, I'd consider that gambling with retirement just as much as investing 10% of a portfolio into bitcoins is.

In the context of this thread, a "good girl" is someone who prefers inflationary fiat over deflationary currencies/stores of value, and fails to recognize the pressing issues regarding its not-so-pretty future. Also, it helps to hold the opinion that a 1.5% yield is 'responsible and good' but a 1500% yield is "evil, capitalist, irresponsible, not contributing to society.' This is why judgement language is not only semantically invalid (in the field of applied general semantics) but has absolutely no place in the worlds of finance, investment, monetary economics, etc. 

A good girl doesn't bring you sandwich and beer, a good girl brings you a hot potato - right out of the 450 degree oven - and puts it right in your bare hands. When you swear and throw it across the room, she explains that it is the metaphorical hot potato of fiat currency - you don't get to choose your poison i.e. nice cuddly 3% inflation - it starts at 3% and the official figures are reluctant to budge but once real inflation is 30+ percent the Argentinian peso becomes like a hot potato and you have to get rid of it the second you get it - inflation is just theft in disguise, and promotes rampant consumerism spend-spend-spend mentality. Deflation encourages a responsible balance of saving and spending.

But by your official gov't figures, I am making 1.5% per year and that's ok, but if I invest in bitcoin and make 1000% per year for a few years until it reaches saturation and levels out, I am an evil cpaitalist?

What if my retirement fund invests in something like apple stock when it is worth barely nothing, then I see 800% ROI and I am set for retirement? IS that OK because I am being a good girl and buyign into your fiat scheme where the potential for tiny profit is OK but the potential for big profit is bad if it's not by accident, because I am not physically contributing to society?

I'm glad someone posted that, I didn't want to sound rude :3.

Mt Gox is still being spammed with micro-orders and sub-second order cancellations and inserts. This is an abuse of the privilege of a direct exchange interface. Other global exhanges terminate access rights to clients abusing their systems.

Good video. But you need to be clean that's its not completely anonymous and there are fees. Im glad it leaves out mining because this just confuses people.

So, since the money on the planet is finite.......

"Legality" is pretty fluid in definition in China.... and they have some many dollars to convert!

Don't sell your coins till $2000, the price will rise faster!!

actually, bitcoin transactions are faster than paypal/credit card transacrions.

you can count a CC/PayPal transaction roughly as final as a bitcoin 0-confirmation, the speed here is the same (instant). however, PP/CC can be reversed for months after the transaction, bitcon transactions cannot be reversed after a few confirmations.

if bitcoin wants to challenge

Kind of depends where. Compton vs. Bosnia? Fuck son, you're dicked two ways to Sunday. But Frankfurt vs. Minneapolis? It's a whiskey vs. beer question. Gonna come down to what you like more.

It is impossible/infeasible to counterfeit Bitcoin using today's technology.

We need more people with this mentality. Weak hands willing to sell their coins CHEAP!

what are you waiting for? there's enough people selling already

i will for aslong there's real money to be made in bitcoin and this forum is just a side kick for entertainment

USA because it is more stable comparing to EU.
