Any market in Dick's Sporting Goods gift cards?  I know this isn't the marketplace subforum, but I got tired of trying sell it on there. If you'd like to buy it, send me a PM.

And man I wish there was a Bitcoin ATM near my place... that would be so convenient, but next place I move too it will be sort of within driving distance... so good I guess for convenience, bad for me that I won't be moving there till about 4 or 5 more months and the bull spike will probably simmer down by then.

So, what's the general consensus for the increase in price? Gemini taking its toll on the market, China's recent influx of transactions, or just a combination of both?  It's easy to say both, but I would like to hear what everyone thinks is the major cause for the bulls to be let loose.

Well, I mean technically you can buy instant BTC with coinbase.. but you have to link your credit card to your account, incase if the payments don't go through from your bank account, it will just automatically charge your credit card... Visa and mastercards are only accepted.

But anyways, I've never really looked at purse.io ... I know I should, but I'm lazy. What kind of gift cards are you looking for?

Wow, that's pretty interesting... I never heard of a parlay dice site.  So how does it calculate what odds you have to get the parlay if you set the odds really high?

Why's that? I've never really heard of that rule before? I mean if they would allow Bitcoin apps for wallets to be ok in their eyes.. That doesn't really make sense to ban everything else?

I'd just like to add.. Since this forum is a forum about crypto currencies and all... Which president do you think will be more lenient on crypto currencies/a supporter of such things?

In some cases, yeah I mean you're right.. But the reality is, is that we can't buy much stuff with bitcoins as it is right now. So even if the price/purchasing power sky rockets, in reality if we want to take advantage of that, we would have to sell our bitcoins to get fiat. And everyone knows that when people are selling out there coins, that means a downward price for bitcoins. But if we use bitcoins to purchase anything we want, and use them for day to day type stuff.. Then it would mean the economy of Bitcoin is getting stronger and bitcoins don't enter the exchange sites.

Haha, I love how on the poll question it's currently 35% >$320 and 37% "It's topped out now" ... That's what I love about people in bitcoin, a "all or nothing" kind of mentality. There's never no middle ground amongst speculators; it's either "to da moon" or "R.I.P", take it or leave it.

That would take hundreds of million dollars to do, I would think... Plus, who would fund this?  There is no way there could be some sort of civil fund raiser amongst bitcoiners to raise this kind of loot.

I've already done this, and got heavily criticized by loved ones and friends... friends didn't really see how it could be accepted by big businesses and used globally like we all on here would like to see, and my family... well.. let's just say that they are very southern and very religious.  A new global currency to them means the "rapture" is coming and they think that if this succeeds and I'm a part of it, then something "bad"(?) is going to happen to me. Lol, so I'm done with trying to influence people face to face that cryptos are the way to go.

Well honestly, if you consider what the term "currency" actually is... it is indeed already recognized as a "currency".  If some businesses already accept bitcoins as a valid form of payment for a good or service (which this has already happened) then it's recognized as a currency.  The real question becomes can it become a currency in which main stream businesses like Apple, McDonalds, Walmart, etc. would start accepting bitcoins as a valid payment.. and my answer to that is no, for now.

Until bitcoins hit a point of stability at a certain price point, then they might consider to accept it.  But if bitcoins price just keeps sky rocketing and falling out of the sky, they wouldn't want to take a gamble on it.  Not to mention that Government's would have to find a way to be able tax it, because we all know that they wouldn't allow a new currency to be used by everyone without taking some of the cut on every purchase.

From what I understood from the article and didn't really understand about it, was how where they able to locate this sphere that completely surrounds a whole star?  Wouldn't that sphere just be "hidden" by the darkness of space, since within the inside would be the star? 

Honestly I'm just amazed how they were able to locate this thing from earth...

Yeah, I'm not sure of what exchange sites people in China would typically use now and days.. but hopefully this isn't a Gox market increase all over again.  Maybe people are really wanting to stock up before the halving happens and it would be too late... Idk, whatever it is I'm liking it as of right now!

Haha, I literally lol'd at this.  The thing is with speculating about what's going to happen when an "apocalyptic" even occurs, is that there is no way to know what kind of threat you are going to be facing, so there's really no idea how to prepare for it.  You don't know whether it will be a massive flood, comet hitting earth, nuclear warfare, air borne virus, etc. etc. ... But if it gets to the point where people will riot, you need to be one of the first to act on it to get the most goods as possible.  And for me, I would probably not think any thing of the situation before its too late, so I just hope that nothing like that would happen.

And why would you need a tight ass and nice buns?? lol.

It looks like this has been stated multiple times by people on this thread.. I think the main question that's being asked, mainly by Harpua, is that how would one act on that idea, with no coding capabilities.

Personally I'd think going to a legit online gambling site maker and asking them if they would want to go in on your idea would be the best bet imo.. I wouldn't try sneaking around laws.

RIP to all the "RIP Bitcoin" threads... I think since we have gotten some good solid exchanges for people who want to go in on a "legit" manner through Gemini, we are going to see $300+ after this month... Maybe

Welp... On the Bitcoin ticker I have, we have officially reached $260! High fives all around!

Would you really consider cashing out at that price point? Honestly I see it going higher by the time next year comes around during spring time... If it jumps to that price and want to get rid of them, by all means.. Go ahead.. But I won't consider it until it goes to a 4 digit number... Until then I'll hold

I'm not so sure about that.. When Bitcoin went to $1K from $100, it was a steady but rather quick jump to $1K... I'm not saying this is what this increase in price necessarily means.. But I don't think the price is going to drop all the sudden back to sub $200 levels again.

Well I mean since there are no other candidates on both sides of the table who are major contenders, from what I've seen, have yet to dive in on the privacy/NSA issue; then I guess he is out in the lead in that aspect. I just don't see how Rand says something about the dangers of NSA spending/dangers of private banks he is called a nut; but if Bernie says it he gets applauded. I haven't watched the video yet because I'm on the way to work.. But I assume the video says everything you said it did.
