'Market liquidity' is a fallacy. If you hold on to a certain amount of currency on an economy and don't use it, the remaining currency which is being used will be worth more and will serve whatever investment needs there are. That's what the US economy currently does and that's working out well.

Yup, pretty much this

I think we'll see another good run in the future, maybe now 1000/btc but hopefully up to 600usd/btc again.  Otherwise, things are looking crap right now with the direction we're heading.  Undecided

5  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Should One Start With Bitcoin Right Now on: October 23, 2014, 12:50:32 PM
Why should someone (not knowledgeable about bitcoin) should start spending hours and hours to learn about bitcoin's concept. Why should that someone start right now?
Why? Because of the enormous opportunity cost of not learning about it. If you're wise enough to be here asking this question, you're wise enough to know why you need to know.

7  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Bitcoin Exists on: October 21, 2014, 01:21:42 PM



I have an honest thought why Bitcoin exists.......


anonymous and keep the sales going...catch me if you can Smiley  Cool

Anonymity.. That is why I love bitcoin.

Bitcoin is far from anonymity. It is much harder to trace your Euros then your BTC. 

There is a technology named CryptoNote, with few coins already started on top of it. Transactions with Cryptonote coins can be anonymous.

Bitcoin will never go anonymity way even if there will be possibility. That is reason why CrypoNote coins were such a hit during this summer. Altho are so hard to managed, soem reach nice price from early start. Reason is they fill niche Bitcoin will never have.

Yeah same thing I was thinking - but I need to read more into cryptonote man.

I think you dudes are dreamin a bit too much for those prices man.  I mean yeah it'd be wicked but doubt btc would go that high.  I think prob like up to $2000/each max, dreaming $5k each max haha.  Otherwise prob hover like 500-1500 each for a long time.
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin War on: October 16, 2014, 02:54:35 PM
When BTC gets into more 'evil' hands, you'll see the wars start happening.  But that's not to say "good" hands would handle it any better or more legit.

18  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bangladesh says Bitcoin users could be jailed for up to 12 years on: October 16, 2014, 01:24:13 PM
Dhaka: Bangladesh's central bank warned against dealing in bitcoin, saying anybody caught using the virtual currency could be jailed under the country's strict anti-money laundering laws.
The Bangladesh Bank, which regulates the impoverished country's banking industry, said it issued the order after reports in local media of Bitcoin transactions through various online exchange platforms.
"Bitcoin is not a legal tender of any country. Any transaction through Bitcoin or any other crypto currency is a punishable offence," the bank said in a statement

Bank officials told AFP separately that anyone found guilty in Bangladesh of using Bitcoin could be sentenced to up to 12 years in jail.
Launched in 2009, Bitcoin is a virtual payment system launched in 2009 that can be used to pay for goods from a computer or mobile device.
Backers say virtual currencies allow for an efficient and anonymous way to store and transfer funds online.
But virtual currencies, most famously Bitcoin, have come under increasing scrutiny by financial regulators as their popularity has grown.
Several countries have warned users of the risks associated with Bitcoin, such as their susceptibility to fraud because of the difficulty of tracing transactions.
Last Friday, Europe's top banking regulator called on the region's banks not to deal in virtual currencies until rules are developed to stop them being abused.

19  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Price is crashing people!! get out while you can!! on: October 16, 2014, 01:04:50 PM
I'm posting this from my spare account because I don't want to be hated by the other early miners...

I'm selling my 50k BTC in staggered amounts starting from tonight, and hopefully my impact on the market will be limited.

It's just not worth sitting on this kind of uncertainty anymore.

I'll do the same with my 100k BTC y0!
