It's not about pumping, it's about reminding the obvious, which sometimes it's a very good thing to do, because people tend to forget.
1 million, 7.3 billion people and growing. There will not be 1 BTC for everyone. I don't think what this means is fully understood yet.



This should tell anyone with a brain to buy and hold for 10 years.

If signatures didn't swing his rates this much then maybe it would be worth the effort, but (since sig campaings are the only way I know to actually make BTC) I will keep working my daily job and buying monthly. Sig campaigns lower their rates when the prices up down and remain like that unless the price goes down again and stays there.

I don't know the details but as I understand Bitcoin is inflationary until 2140, but the rate gets decreased a lot and at about 2025 the inflation % is so small that is negligible. The rate of coins being lost forever will be even bigger than the newly mined coins which means it will be deflationary even if we aren't past 2140 yet.

I don't know how this works, I didn't even knew what Catalonia was and had to Google it. Precisely because of this i think it would be negative for them, Spain is a much more recognized name worldwide, as opposite to Catalonia which like I said before required me to Google it (I knew Barcelona but not Catalonia).

Dope was a mainstream movie where they talked about Bitcoin at some point dark web too. Ulterior States was a nice documentary and "Life on Bitcoin" was on CNN and explained the life of a reporter trying to survive on Bitcoin for like a week. All pretty entertaining. Not very informative tho to any experienced user, lectures and speeches by Greg Maxwell, Andreas etc are better to actually learn.

I think Trezor is generally a good idea if you are going to be using the coins in your cold storage more often than just putting them inside and forgetting about them, but if I wanted actual cold storage, paper wallet with BIP38 encryption personally remains the undisputed champion.

Aren't all HYIP basically ponzi scams? I have tried to put my stack to use several times but I end up thinking that im going to end up getting screwed and I might as well just hold them and keep making more at a slower pace but steadily accumulating them instead of putting my hard earned BTC at risk.

Because I am FORCED to buy at this point. If you look at the geopolitical situation, the economy, if you look long term, you know you need something that is outside the system, and this edge in it's ultimate form is Bitcoin, forget gold, now it's the #2.

This guy is great, it was the first one to go big with Bitcoin as a merchant of high volume, everyone else was scared to take that first step. I am glad he is still positive with Bitcoin and continues accepting it unlike Microsoft which apparently stopped accepting BTC (and they will look like idiots once they are forced to go back to accepting it again).

Localbitcoins is always a solid option specially in UK where you shouldn't have problems finding a legit amount of good dealers. If you don't care about privacy, then any of the exchanges on the Eurozone will do.

Yeah, I don't personally understand why people don't learn the leson and just make the effort to be their own bank by controlling their own local wallet, but some people just doesn't like the idea. If I wanted to have my BTC outside, I would trust Xapo before Coinbase for sure.

I would never have valuable information on a Windows machine. If you do, at least just copy it to an USB and a trusted cloud somewhere on the internet (prior being encrypted with a strong pass of course). I don't understand how people fall for this ransomware crap, it doesn't seem that sophistcated, just keep your stuff updated and don't click on dodgy shit.

I would like to put my BTC to use and spend some of it. As a long term holder, I tend to just hold, because I value fiat less than BTC, so I buy whatever I want with money. But the point is, it seems more convenient to use my BTC for digital stuff like games. The problem is, I cant trust serial keys outside steam, but Steam doesn't accept BTC...
How to go around this?

Of course, I would like to buy real state, and rent one or two properties and life off passive income so I can just enjoy life without having to work all day until im 70 years old and my back is screwed up. Let's just hope BTC reaches 10K soon so I can pull that.

I follow pretty closely anything that happens in my country but right now we are stuck still at calling Mark Karpeles the CEO of Bitcoin and journalist think Mt Gox hacked = Bitcoin hacked... stuff like that. It shows how beneath of the curve they are (yes im living in japan atm).

It peaked at 500 and is not correcting, the rise will continue, we saw this same behaviour last year in november when there were days where the price ended being inferior to the last day. Corrections must happen and I actually hope the rise is very slow because I want more BTC.

So as we all know, Satoshi intended Bitcoin to be p2p cash through the internet. I still do not understand how this concept is compatible with the public ledger, unless, we use the notion of mixing inputs and outputs. I am not an expert or a coder, but I think the CoinJoin thing is pushing on this direction and have the right idea.

Of course technologies like Darkwallet sound even cooler, but, CoinJoin seems like a more simple approach and I think it could easily be implemented in Core.

My point is, everyone must be able to send a transaction anonymously if they want to, including the most average Joe of Joes out there. Therefore, a check/uncheck button next to "send" that says "send this transaction anonymously" must be added. All this would do is automate the whole process of the CoinJoin thing, so it would send your coins mixed with random people's coins in the same transaction so there is no way to know who is sending what from A to B. This coupled with confidential transactions which hide the amount of BTC moved could reach a very respectable level of anonymity for everyone and then we would be able to start talking about actual p2p cash.

We must push for a decentralized Bitcoin and as anonymous as it gets for the whole family.

All of the trading that happens on exchanges never touch the blockchain, only the money that goes in and out of the exchange does and I doubt this has any relevant impact on the blocks being full or not. Only an idiot would send BTC without a recommended fee to an exchange and if you do that you will not have problems with your transaction taking too long to reach the exchange.

I think its better to learn to control yourself in order to save money rather than have some forced lock on your wallet. You may eventually be on a situation where you really need the money and you are stuck with a lock for X time. Bitcoin core can allow you to get your stuff encrypted so you need to put your pass everytime you want to spend, this helps.

This guy is the archetype wallstreet whitehead dude that has been living off scamming people for big commissions since he was 22. This guy is completely out of the loop and doesn't get the fact that Bitcoin is not going to be stopped, too late. This guy suffers from status quo too big too fail syndrome and will end up like Gaddafi.
