Gold is not going to move up very quick at any point like bitcoin because its been around for like 10,000 years as money. Its a very good stable store of value and time tested which is something bitcoin cant say.  But yeah bitcoin is much better for the next 10-20 years for sure.

I think that is perfectly reasonable.  This way we only have 1 middle man of ebay/amazon and not 2 with the bank taking their cut for providing no value the transaction.  Obviously if open bazaar takes over online shopping then great but last time i checked they still need escrow in the trade.

2 main problems everton have are they are accomodating rooney and they lost lukaka.  Sorry to all rooney fans but his time as a starting player for a premier league team is over, hes only good as a 20 minute sub.  There is talk of everton playing him in midfield but would only work in a midfield 3 since his legs have gone and other 2 players whould have to make up for this. Everton relegation is looking possible, place your bets.

I used to use this site with success but did not know they still were running, please err on the side of caution though they have had problems in the past and people got their funds froze (usual story etc).  You can search their history on ths forum.

This isn't water tight because 1.) Credibility of a seller can only work over a certain period of time. So new sellers have a barrier to entry which is not great for the online economy. 2.)It works better for low value items only. So something that is $10 $20 etc a seller will likely deliver all the time because of risk/reward ratio. If you have a seller who does high value items they can build up their rep to pull off one big scam. 

Bitcoil will go down as the 2nd most lengendary mispronouciation vs bitcorn.  I like Bitcoil though its like its coiling up ready to release into full bull mode.

There will need to be more work done in escrow for bitcoin to become a dominant force because even with chargeback facility of paypal and banks there are still occasionally low selling standards on ebay with some sellers. Chargebacks are the best thing to keep ebay a semi legit trading place right now.

If scammers want to scam you on a platform like Ebay they have plenty of options even if the item is delivered.  But let me first tell you you cannot actually accept bitcoin as a payment option on ebay, you also cannot accept cash through the post either (thats the UK rule last time i checked anyway).  You can as a seller mark payment received for a product, this is an option ebay have and ebay wont know how you've been paid. So... lets assume you buy an item from an ebay seller, you contact them and ask to pay in bitcoin, they say OK and mark payment received after you have paid to their address. If they then dont get the item sent to you or its lost in the post/defective im assuming ebay will compensate you in fiat because it falls into the bracket of ebay buyer protection if you have had to contact ebay to step in.  A refund direct from the seller direct to buyer is a different thing, they would have to send you the bitcoin back else you get ebay to step in.  

Im assuming after going through this 1.) ebay would warn you not to pay in bitcoin again and 2.) ebay would warn seller not to accept bitcoin again.  But yeah in theory you could accept bitcoin for a trade sure. I have actually accepted cash in the post before for an online sale (in ebay's eyes its same as a bitcoin payment) and everything went smooth.

There are threads on this forum with people trading off of google spreadsheet market style. You will be shocked when you see how much they buy and sell at low prices.  I remember seeing a thread where forum members are talking about 1 guy having over 300k coins etc and someone should PM him and tell him bitcoin went over $1 and so he has $300k! lol

Turned out to be true and spurs missed kane quite a bit which doesn't bode well for the future for spurs since madrid will probably buy him or something. United played really bad but still mourinho knows how to win ugly. I got the prediction right but wrong score.

Litecoin has always been faster and cheaper but these are small benefits when you consider the grand scheme of the original bitcoin chain which now actually isn't a high risk investment anymore IMO.

The price back then was based on a system with less users, no asics, no ATMs, no bigger backers, minimal dodgy exchanges, risk of hacking since it was new technology not tried and test.  Its a different investment now, cant compare the 2.

It easy to say in hindsight but i did think to myself BTG would be worth maybe $100-$200 and the price of BTC within 24 hours before the fork had gone up $300. This means we are bullish until the mid november fork.

You have ebay buyers protection if you dont get what you want so there is little risk to buying i see.  The bigger risk comes from selling on ebay.  My tips for buying on ebay though if you do/can:

1.)Use ebay case system if you do not get what you paid for
2.)Use paypal cases as a back up if needed.
3.)Pay via card and not your paypal balance so you can do a bank chargeback if needed.
4.)Buy in small amounts, there is no reason to buy a large amount in 1 go, i dont believe it could be cheaper this way else the seller is maybe a scammer - not that they can really scam you anyway if you follow rules 1 -3, it just means your time wasted is at risk.

But yeah all in all i might actually buy small amounts of bitcoin on ebay if possible tbh. Dont see why not. Depends on price more than anything.

Unless they stated pre fork you would be paid out the coins of BTG i guess they are legally free to use your BTG.  I myself actually had coin in kraken before the fork so i guess the BTG is theres.  Bitfinex paid out everyone in full.

Yeah i saw this news, hes out with a slight hamstring strain.  Im actually thinking united could win for this reason... going for 3-2 or 2-1 to united in epic battle match.

It could just be natural growth where the price and interest has been well up for a while now.  If the diffculty doesn't catch up it will mean too many miners are making easy money.

Its just a number dude, how come you value USD so highly i dont understand? Even if bitcoin stayed level in utility value for the next few years the inflation rates would make it go over $7000 anyway.

I have found more variance over the last few months with confirmation times like everyone else.  Make sure you check the fee you are sending, some of the wallets estimates can be wrong.  So upgrade to the latest wallet. You can also consider custom fee to make sure you pay a high fee.

Cup games are pretty easy to pick winners as you would think the games should all go with the favourites:

Chelsea 2 vs Bournemouth 0
Arsenal 3 vs West Ham 1
Leicester 0 vs Manchester City 4
Bristol 0 vs Manchester United 1
