101  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Write a letter, change business... on: June 23, 2015, 10:57:25 AM
There have been a lot of petitions and only very few work, if any at all. Businesses are only going to change or make a move if it's in their best interest to do so, regardless of whether a letter was written or petitions were signed.

I think we've come a long way and made a lot of progress. Insecurity these days is probably due to incompetence or lack/ignorance of adequate safety practices which could've easily been avoided.
103  Other / Politics & Society / Re: cops shoot unarmed man in the head on: June 23, 2015, 10:52:24 AM
Even with body cams and cameras everywhere, I think this is still gonna keep happening. Unfortunately, no idea what the solution for this is.

I think these guys are just doing what they do for shock value at this point. They're still a despicable set of people and it's just unfortunate and appalling.
105  Economy / Economics / Re: BitFuturist: what are 10 things true in 10 years pertaining to BTC? on: June 23, 2015, 10:44:38 AM
Well, one thing's for sure.
The value of 1 BTC will still be 1 BTC in 10 years. Cheesy

Personally, I think bitcoin will be widely adopted in the future. It's very fast for transferring funds, so that's a good thing.
106  Economy / Economics / Re: How to teach kids about Bitcoin? on: June 23, 2015, 10:43:23 AM
I would say it's best to teach them the same way you teach them about money. Except for the bits about security. Cheesy
Kids are able to pick things up quickly anyway, so it shouldn't be too hard.
107  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: June 23, 2015, 10:42:14 AM
Best to do both invest and save. There are some bank savings accounts that offer interest rates, so that's also some sort of investment.
108  Economy / Economics / Re: US Dollar collapse in 2015? (2) on: June 23, 2015, 10:39:39 AM
USD is pretty much relevant everywhere in the world. I doubt it's going to collapse any time soon.
109  Economy / Economics / Re: Let's Be Honest. We Are Waiting for $100/BTC to buy on: June 23, 2015, 10:38:47 AM
The price is currently going up. As much as I would be able to love getting bitcoins at $100, it's not going to happen anymore. It should hit $300 in the next few months.
110  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: State law makes it difficult to use Bitcoin in Wyoming? on: June 23, 2015, 08:06:41 AM
What state law did Coinbase refer to though? There doesn't seem to be any specifics about this "law".
111  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will/Did you mention Bitcoin in your first date? on: June 23, 2015, 08:03:57 AM
Most definitely not. Unless the date brings it up first.
112  Economy / Economics / Re: Euro's not fungible on: June 23, 2015, 08:03:03 AM
i never liked how each euro nation has its own euro, it was supposed to be a global currency for every european countries, yeah i know that it does not matter, because they are issued from one entity only

but still it can confuse tourist

and greek euro is the same as other euro, is the ECB that print it, not each state separately

Wow, I never knew this. I actually thought the Euro notes were the same across all the countries. But I guess it makes sense having different cultural icons for each country on their notes.

I would assume it's possible to spend one country's Euro note in another Euro country, correct?
113  Economy / Economics / Re: A currency or investment? on: June 23, 2015, 08:01:03 AM
I use it as both a currency and an investment, to be honest.

When I get paid in bitcoin, I spend some of it on sites that accept bitcoin and save the rest, and if the fiat price goes up during the period I hold, then that's an added bonus.
114  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is "Circle" a good place to buy Bitcoin? on: June 21, 2015, 09:40:19 PM
Circle is a great service for purchasing bitcoin. With regards to storing bitcoin, it's best to make use of a wallet that offers multisignature (or multisig) addresses for short. This offers the most safety and security.
115  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Scrypt.cc Account as 'Collateral / Escrow'? on: June 21, 2015, 09:38:22 PM
It's probably a bad move because scrypt.cc might be a ponzi, and you may lose your bitcoins altogether.
116  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Any one know any good cloud mining? on: June 21, 2015, 09:26:11 PM
There's none I can recommend at this time as most of them are ponzi scams. It's always best to proceed with caution.
I intend to try out Bit-X in a few weeks.
117  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Yahoo users will get paid in bitcoin for best answers on: June 21, 2015, 09:23:42 PM
Misleading title. I thought this was actually implemented on the Yahoo! Answers site.
In any case, it's a neat concept, but it doesn't look like there's a lot of activity at this point.
118  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Cloud Mining Service Legitimacy on: June 21, 2015, 09:20:29 PM
Here's what I would need to see before I invest in any cloud mining service:

- Names and photos of owners and/or employees
- Video proof of mining hardware (photos can be easily photoshopped)
- Physical address/location of company and mining hardware publicly visible

Been burned a few times, so I tend to steer clear of any cloud mining service at this point.
119  Economy / Exchanges / Re: BEWARE: igot.com is either running a scam or is out of cash on: June 21, 2015, 09:16:24 PM
I've been reading a large number of complaints about igot delays here and on Reddit. It's possible it could be a scam. Here's a compiled list of complaints:

Oh well.
120  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Hyper Antivirus is Legit? on: June 21, 2015, 09:12:47 PM
The software seems fishy to me. It's best to deploy to a virtual machine and monitor what it does before you install on your primary machine. In any case, always proceed with caution.
