That's fucking funny. Subtle advertisement by Microsoft? What else can be? or whoever wrote that blog is a bitcoiner and used him as in inside joke so we would mention his article here. In any case, it worked.

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When is Second Life starting to use Bitcoin?

Hi guys! Recently I've thought about Second Life. Second Life was one of the first sites, if not the first to introduce the concept of virtual currency. They have their own centralized currency, the Linden Dollar. For now I know that it is not possible to buy Lindens with bitcoin through the 2nd life site, but people have been using Wirvox exchange to do just that: https://community.secondlife.com/t5/Merchants/bitcoins-to-lindens/td-p/2550854So my guess is, When is Second Life Linden) starting to use Bitcoin? Is there any mention from Linden about this? I don't really know. It's probably, as always, an ego fight. They want their own currency. At least you can exchange it for Second Life Linden Dollar tho, too bad the fees are insane.

Those days of fearing a hard fork will kill BTC are long gone. At the beginning it was true, not the software and project is way too widespread. Too big too fail situation.

How much coins on exchanges ?
All indicators are aiming at the halving. The having is something expected by a lot of people, which means the hype is huge and anything can happen.

The plan is clear. Troika is exploiting all those poor countries specially the south european ones, they will take their economies down through ridiculous austerity programs, and buy their debt at a ridiculous price with the consent of each local elites. This will be a world wide agenda of privatization of all services.
Um, what? How is the Troika buying debt? I seriously din't get what you are trying to say. Would you like to buy my debts? I guarantee you ridiculous profits. Privatising services? You mean selling state companies/land/isles to private market entities? You can't compare personal debts to gov't debts. People buy gov't debts all the time. It's called bonds. No one will buy your personal debts because, frankly, we know you will never pay it back. Gov't debts are sold to raise money for public projects like bridges, highways, ports, etc which in turn generates revenue to pay the bond-holders. I had invested a few hundred $$$'s in US Treasury bills and they have become pretty valuable. If I had bought your personal debts, I will have lost my shirts. Do you see the difference? Everyone knows Greece, neither basically any country will ever pay their debts. The debt is still increasing at faster rates than what can be paid for.

I would love working for a bitcoin related company and be paid regularly in bitcoin or any project related with bitcoin
There aren't any jobs being paid on Bitcoin beside niche stuff. I don't count signature campaign as a proper job or anything along the lines, so that isn't included.

Bubble chart comparison does look very similar, except the bubble's rise was a little too quick and the capitulation not steep enough. Although the fit is not perfect I do believe we are in a kind os undervalued 'despair' phase/ returning to mean, corresponding to the idea in the OP
I don't think we are at a despair phase, we are at a "dumb idiots panic selling and whales manipulating while smart kids buy BTC monthly" phase.

Still HODLING & planning to for many years. Only an idiot would sell significant amounts of bitcoin at these prices. Do the sensible thing people, buy & HODL, keep accumulating to prepare for 'hopefully' much, much higher prices in the future. Have patience & it should pay off, these bad times will all be worth it one day. Stay strong & HODL.
Not everyone has the patience nor see its future. I mean we all see it differently so its not fair to say its not sensible for them and its dependent on their financial situation if they need the cash. I think most people sell just cause they dont want to deal with the volatility. But we need people to be panic sellers, not everyone can be winners, so naturally the few that reach the top of the mountain holding the most bitcoin will be the selected elite of super hodlers.

We should do some sort of fun bet, as if, if by 2020 Bitcoin is 5 figures, I will do a youtube video naked holding a vodka bottle dancing next to Bitcoinwisdom.com to any song of your choice, or something along the lines. (Not saying I would do that, is just an idea lol. If someone wants to do it it would go viral im pretty sure)
well if some one got wrong payment of 1000 BTC then prollly he would do it ... If you think we need 1000 then that's depressing. I will probably never be able to stack triple figures so I need it to at least give me a million dollars at something realistic like 30 BTC. Anything else is bullshit.

Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Faucets - how much do those sites make in ad revenue?
|
on: August 12, 2015, 09:58:31 PM

I dont know exactly how much, but it can be more then $3k a month.
The website owner may or may not want to share these details for obvious reasons. But, you can add up on freebitco.ins lottery thing, and then add the count for referral sections as well of the last paid out addresses.
So the site owner is making minimum of more then 4 btc per month just for starters.
I've been looking on starting my own faucet for quite some time now, even researching on how to create one from scratch but I don't know whether this is worth my time or not. 4 btc per month for starters is quite a big sum, but the reality is if you don't have enough traffic, you won't just take the cut. I'll be even luck to generate even half of the amount if I started doing one right now. Reality is you need a shit ton of traffic. I would like to know what amount of bitcoin faucets are doing something like 600 dollars monthly steadily. Without tons ot traffic is impossible and there are tons of faucets out there already, so tell me how the hell would one do this?

Is this account hacked or bought? Bitcoinpro is a Hero Member. Can I sense foul play? I haven't seen many Hero Members making crappy threads like this, something seems a little off.
dont be ridiculous cuz and dont be afraid to be weak or to proud to be strong dont care wat people say follow your own dreams What does that have to do with the fact your post is misleading? What exploded wasn't a Bitcoin mine, it was a chemical plant.

The founder of Visa joined the Xapo advisory board a while ago, it was expected that they would get involved. I just hope they stay with the Bitcoin blockchain and not some shitty knockoff.
