1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Unique platform for investors on: June 27, 2018, 12:53:42 AM
As I understand it, you signed an agreement with the advertised ICO, and in return received a discount from them? Do I understand you correctly? I tried to buy a pair of Arcona tokens, they did though, did not expect to see them.
2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Distribution model of coins, altcoins on: March 25, 2017, 02:05:02 PM
Hi,

Is there any coin with a distribution phase graph similar to logistic growth?
I was thinking that would be the most reasonable approach, because in the beginning the coins do not have worth and so there's no point in securing the network, and no need for so much printing. Wouldn't that way lead to a more decentralized currency, the miners would have time to join, and less rush in the initial phase as with logarithmic distribution?

If not, why not?

Did anyone noticed that there are almost no buy offers up to 670 ?
5  Economy / Speculation / China and the market on: May 28, 2016, 02:54:54 PM
It seems that China is leading the bitcoin market for some time now.
So it's an exercise in futility to predict what is going to happen without knowing what happens there.

Thoughts?

This is one of the best topics today, it still holds the exact same utility!

Yes, but whilst we can argue price doesn't really matter the value of the coin is what ultimately makes the miners keep on mining and without them there is no bitcoin or blockchain and that is something to keep in mind.

Nop, that is not true, as long as there are some miners, bitcoin keeps on going. The difference is that the difficulty drops. So it's easy to find bitcoins.. so they find more blocks.
Percentage % of the network is what matters.

Less miners smaller network.. no worries.

I see the spreading of a lot of misinformation in the thread referenced above and in these forums - info that is either based on incorrect premises or a misunderstanding about how the financial system works in the United States.
So? We've got people here who believe in perpetual motion machines; that the world is being controlled by Jews, lizards, and/or Jewish lizards; that aliens walk among us; that humans can survive without food; and IPU knows what other nonsense. The Speculation forum in particular attracts many people who don't understand how financials markets work or even basic economics for that matter. These people are immune to basic logic, and I doubt you'll be able to convince them of anything, though you're of course welcome to try.

I didn't even bother reading the thread you're referring to, as the whole premise is ridiculous on its face and really not worth responding to at all.

I work in the financial investment industry and want to clear things up so that people do not scare you into buying into their own agenda.  So what I want to do is debunk some of these misconceptions with facts, not opinions or theories, about how our financial system works in the United States.
If you think that'll help.

So please, ask me anything or tell me why you think the US is "going bankrupt" or the Federal Reserve "prints money" or fiat is dead or petrodollar or the implosion of the dollar, and I will respond.
I can't speak for the rest of the forum, but I don't think any of those things, except perhaps for the implosion of the dollar. Though I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon, of course, or that it'll be so sudden that nothing can be done about it when it happens.

To start things out I can start by saying that the United States is not bankrupt or anything close to it.  A nation which can print its own currency, tax output and has no foreign-denominated debt can never go bankrupt.  The national debt will never be paid down nor does it need to be and this is not a problem.  The government could issue only very short government debt and essentially controls the interest it pays on its own debt, if it were to ever become a problem.
This is Economics 101. Tell us something we don't already know.

Where did they said that? Is there a thread. I thought about it one day and found some articles.
edit: sorry the off-topic

riiiising vs fallling, the clash of the titans.

No most likely someone with too much time on their hands who thinks trolling the message boards somehow fulfills a missing part in their lives really...
Looks like the bear trolls' employment contracts are up and they've gone away.

I worked with Blitz to get fallllling and all the other bear accounts banned. So I don't think you'll be hearing from them any time soon.  Grin Grin

Quote
Bitcoin is the opposite of PayPal, in the sense that it actually succeeded in creating a currency,”...

Everybody is missing the best part of his quote:

Peter Thiel originally wanted Paypal to BE a 'digital currency' which helped protect people from unstable Gov't currencies. They succeeded at building a huge company, but failed at the original vision. He is giving BTC a big compliment by saying "it actually succeeded in creating a currency".



This, lots of people, even in bank positions are on our side, even if doesn't seem at first.
11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How IT people waste their time to making BTC sites, who do not have users on: October 20, 2014, 06:13:14 PM
There are a lot of people, especially IT people, who try to make BTC sites, but in fact BTC users market do not demand that or BTC users market is not enough large for so many projects. Why they are wasting their time, what you guys think ?

one question,
what sites in particular are you refering to?

But it's different man Sad


suit yourself Smiley

I think it was Confucius that said
"You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink."

Only time will tell how fast, and how will be the ride. But ye something is beginning to form on the horizon.
(different shape though!)

13  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: October 18, 2014, 01:37:41 PM

Then add fibo.

Then tell me they are so different. Smiley

But it's different man Sad
14  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: October 18, 2014, 01:33:41 PM
To me it looks pretty obvious, what is happening. 





Just look at the graphs.
The first is pure ecstasy, I can feel it just by looking.

The second is confusion and at most trying to repeat the other.
Sadly different indeed.
15  Economy / Speculation / Re: Something, something, something, technical analysis on: August 18, 2014, 08:38:10 PM
The idea is that after a period of decreasing volatility (that "triangle" on BBW) the market tends to "remember" the volatility of the prior breakout and tries to relive it.  The real target is where BBW slows down and forms a top, the price target is more of a guess of how that might happen.

So, what is (was) in this case the previous breakout. For what you said it seemed the price would break up, but from the graphic, there's the sign down that was accurately correct. So why you say that failed epically?
16  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Just want to say (btc value "history") on: May 24, 2014, 09:36:18 PM

A voluntary society cannot be designed at all. It will be emergent. When a critical mass of people realize that the rules we tell children to live by (namely don't hurt people, don't mess with their stuff, and keep your promises) should be applied across the board, and that no other general rules are necessary, then such a society will form.

There can be no formula for dealing with people in need. As soon as such a formula is known, most of the marginally needy and some of the non-needy attempt to game the system. Subsidizing poverty creates more poverty. The best way to deal with those in need is on an individual case-by-case basis. It's too important of a problem to be left to monopolists. Concrete answers are wrong answers.

Great post,
Just wanted to say that

We need a sportscaster to call out the play-by-play live action during these events.

Someone should definitely do that!

20  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does anyone else think bitcoin is a stupid name? on: November 22, 2013, 09:32:37 PM
I don't like it, but that's just my opinion, too simple name for a complex and new currency.
