The American Psychiatric Association (APA) has confirmed today that taking selfies is not just a ‘ new trend’ but a mental disorder. Officially known as ‘selefits', the mental disease is defined as a ‘ compulsive urge to take one’s self and get social approval by posting them on social sites.’ The APA made the baffling discovery during its annual board of directors meeting in Chicago today. According to doctors, taking selfies is one way to boost self-esteem and fill in emotional gaps. APA further explained three different levels of the mental disorder as following Borderline selfitis: capturing self-images at least thrice a day but refraining from posting them on social media. Judging from the bombardment of selfies on our social media walls, it means 75% female and 50% male population are demented. Acute selfitis: The symptoms for this level includes taking photos of one’s self at least three times a day and posting each of the photos on social media Chronic selfitis: Overpowering urge to take photos of one’s self constantly and sharing them social media more than six times a day According to the APA, while there is currently no cure for the disorder, temporary treatment is available through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). The other good news is that CBT is covered under Obamacare. How many off you has this Disorder? If you have this disorder please try to avoid it. Thanks Edit: Source: http://www.brandsynario.com/selfie-trend-officially-declared-a-mental-disorderLol, im glad they did this. It's starting to become abnormal all these people taking selfies every fucking where all the time. At any given time if you look around you'll look someone taking a selfie. |

In the future anyone will be able to download a model of a gun and 3D print it, including the bullets. You should watch the documentary.

Like twister said chaturbate has bitcoin option, I dont view cams but I know enough about them to know alot run on currency like credits, you buy then give then sell credits. Girls wont actually recive bitcoin however the viewers can buy credits with it
No, I said they had that option but they stopped. girls do accept bitcoins on webcam sites
there are already few cam sites that accept bitcoin as payment i.e chaturbate
even few girls on reddit will swing few moves if you tip them with bitcoin
No, they don't accept BTC anymore. There's only 100,000 to 250,000 Bitcoin users in the world. For awhile they were trolling everywhere on the internet, begging people to accept them as a payment option, and later all these businesses took down their BTC payment option as nobody was using it - most people are holding trivial amounts or dust amounts or they are hoarding BTC as an investment. Big fail was Overstock projecting $12 million in sales (because of hyping and snakesoil salesmen) but only ended up doing $3 million in sales over 12 months - meanwhile professional miners collect around $60 million a month from Bitcoin. It's a matter of time tho. The later you take to accept bitcoin the less of a pioneer you will look like later on and more of a dumb stuck up idiot for not wanting to deal with disruptive technology. |

Something should be centralized.
Not everyone is educated.
Look at those scammers and thieves who are on always on a prowl for unsecured sites, they do it because there is no central entity that will fuck him up if he did those things.
So, we sometimes need it.
Like it or not we are heading towards a totally decentralized technological future, or at least the option of being at a totally decentralized internet. |

Maybe it was Satoshi himself. The name is Japanese too.
Cmon man, you watch too many movies. This is bitcointalk.org, not infowars.com |

The reason stock prices are so high and everything looks good right now is purely because of hyperinflation which is the amount of money that the central banks are pumping into the economy, they're keeping things going over Christmas and new years and then eventually all of it is going to collapse in on itself with the politicians and bankers playing completely innocent about it and not understanding what's going on.
I've been predicting a crash for the first quarter of 2015 for awhile now just because of how high things all are right now and also everything is starting to look at the exact level it was at the 2008 - 2009 crash, the idea that you can have such a massive crash and then have everything go this high again as if it's 'normal' is ridiculous. The good news is for us at least, the more people who are in denial about this the more money there is to be made.
It's all a big delusional game to keep things going on as they are for as long as possible while the elites stack up on gold and (the ones that aren't dinosaurs) bitcoin and other assets, then they'll hide on their bunkers and let stuff crash. |

Sometimes I think the only way out it's outside the euro but sometimes I dont. Tax evasion will not magically disappear after Greece defaults. They will not solve the problem by defaulting, they will just keep with the bad habits. But the people that always paid taxes and worked hard will loose everything. Defaulting is a non-solution.

It's not nice what the Euro has done to the southern European economies. If you're interested then there are interesting articles about optimal currency zones that should clearly have been held as warnings about exactly this sort of thing. I think it's why the UK stayed out, though apart from an apparent liability for Greek debts, we would actually be in one of the stronger positions, just like Germany is.

Bitcoin blockchain size is 30 GB. I've heard that Bitcoin 0.10 got improved blockchain downloading. How many times is it faster now?
I had to download the entire blockchain again because as I updated from 9.3 or whatever the previous version was it got corrupted. It was much faster, much many connected peers and the connections happened quicker. Last time it took me like 2 days, this time I managed to do it in 6 hours or something along the lines. |

In 2015, faucets are not bad but 100% DEAD for bitcoin
Nope, as someone mentioned, beginners benefit by getting some free satoshi to play with, plus people living in Africa will benefit too. They will big time too from sig campaigns, given their english is competent. |

It's clear Africa is the best continent that can help simulate the price of Bitcoin as there are more business opportunities that can be created with Bitcoin and the Blockchain technology also help the millions unbanked to have access to financial freedom. Thats the reason why DBF wants to empower and mentor the young aspiring entrepreneurs in Africa to enter into crypto world to help them sell their products and services to the international market in exchange for BTC. You can check the article written by our founder Philip Agyei Asare on how Bitcoin is entering into African market via SMS. http://cointelegraph.com/news/112281/bitcoin-making-inroads-in-africa-via-sms |

I remember turning on the T.V. and an episode of Person Of Interest (maybe last year) had mentioned the silk road and bitcoin, but they didn't call it that, they just said cryptocurrency and online underground market, or something like that... I was really excited:)
Yeah sometimes they are ambiguous to not make direct advertisement of Bitcoin and illegal blackmarkets. |

Depends on what stage of your life you're at now. For a recent college grad with maybe 5,000 in savings, putting all of it (or even taking out a small loan) in bitcoin is not that bad. Even if they lose it all, they can earn that money back in a year or less. The downside is limited, but the upside could be huge. Why not make that bet?
But if you're already 40-50, you don't want to sell your house and put it all in bitcoin.
The problem is being college aged like me, but having no money to invest in anything, which is most college grads nowadays unless they come from well off families. |

they should always target tax evaders , no matter the situation, they are just more desperate now, and they need money...
This. Lol at avoiding taxes but then making use of social health care, roads constructed with other tax payeer moneys and so on. It sucks paying taxes but thats how it goes. Not gonna lie when all these filthy rich motherfuckers avoid paying I also feel tempted. |

Since the invention of Bitcoin some have thought about cryptocurrencies issued by central banks or governments. Recently the idea of Fedcoin stimulated a lot of discussion after David Andolfatto from Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis presented the idea at P2P Financial Systems 2015. David also discussed the idea in a post. As a concept the idea is intriguing, but soon a flurry of questions about details have been raised. Among those are issuance, distribution, peg to the dollar, miner rewards, restriction on users and miners, monetary policy and others. I will attempt to address these issues as I see them. Read the full post on Diginomics. They are probably at works already, creating a shitty dumbed down centralized filthy BTC rip off. Too bad it will only make everyone aware of the real alternative (Bitcoin). Basically adopt Bitcoin or die is the name of the game. |

THe page is in russian, so can't really view or understand much. As for excursions with bitcoin, I had a vegas trip last year with bitcoin alone.  Lucky guys. I haven't got enough Bitcoin to spend, im on saving mode until I feel comfortable enough with my savings. |

Err...
Why do you think that a DDoS would be enough to steal the money from a website?
Do you really know what DDoS means?
You could have an impact on an asset if you ruin it's website for a while as that would show weakness. But other than that, a DDoS doesn't give you access to anything inside the website. |

Well to be honest I would sell I am not a big fan of the volatility of bitcoin, and have suffered huge losses already. I would be happy to sell. If you sell to not buy again at a cheaper price you will end up paying for it. |

But does this mean you can modify it and sell it for profits like t-shirt or whatever? |

Hi
I see lots of posts in the recent weeks that the price of bitcoin has stabilized and/or is on the move upwards.
whenever I see posts like this I go back to any chart the shows the price of bitcoin for all time ie not just 1 day , one month etc.
it seems that the big rise to 1200 was a con - either by gox themselves or someone who hacked them.
so I see most of those that rode it up have to slowly take most of the hit ie sell off most of their coins as they were speculative buyers.
so todays price of us$272 when you draw a horizontal line across from the chart you will see it went through this price level about nov 4 2013 on the way up when it was zooming each day.
I do not think all have taken the hits they have to take so there is more selling pressure to come and i see no reason for bitcoin to not got go very low over the next year or two ie to a $50 type low.
speculators will have already factored in what the winklevoss boys and others are working on etc and it has not really kicked up the price so I see no reason to believe the price will not just slowly fall away.
what do others think?
I think the price would have dropped much quicker now if the rise was down to a gox, the fact is we went from $10 to $1000 in a short space of time we were due this bear market. I don't believe in the wally bot theory that emanated on Mt Gox. The rally was real and so is the crash. People got scared to miss the boat, and they all bought at once. Now the same people is panic selling. Those are clueless people that cant think long term and dont even understand Bitcoin, they just where there for the speculative part. What we are seeing is just a redistribution of Bitcoin. Dumb holders are selling to get out, smart holders are selling to buy back more at a cheaper price or are holding in terms they don't want to risk getting left behind. |
