Post quotes. I want to know who is saying this.
This idiot wrote a book basically saying this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYJdOiLqSxEI can't believe he don't understand that the blockchain can't work without the coin acting as an incentive to process and secure the network. This is the fucking basic. Perhaps he meant blockchain technology, as-in a similar kind of system that takes advantage of a blockchain as a public ledger. |

Freelancing is harder than it seems, being the one that kicks yourself in the butt is hard.
Just about all of the work you can do over the Internet can also be done by a Chinese or Indian person over the Internet. Someone who can live off of a few hundred dollars a year. A large portion of both Indians and Chinese are scammers, not to mention that they lack the programming skills or the expertise to start an actual business, have you ever seen code written by a Chinese? The ones that are talented are in Sillicon Valley. |

So we're seeing a trend in rising self-employed individuals which is bound to rise by year and we also see a trend of rising BTC use, so I am curious is there any overlap? I have personally freelanced before and getting paid in BTC was my preferred method since you can cashouts locally without any hassles and without the employer scamming you. My only problems while freelancing were scammers and lack of professionals which I aim to solve in a new freelancer venue I've started here: (sorry for the shameless plug  ) In any case I am wondering how the future looks for fellow self-employed professionals, will most people be working from home in the nearest hundred years with autonomous businesses appearing? Yes, I'm considering doing part time jobs on BTC related works. Do something interesting, while being the boss of oneself will make us feel so much better! Freelancing is harder than it seems, being the one that kicks yourself in the butt is hard. |

Or perhaps the business model is flawed, we at Bitlancers hedge all freelancers money against USD, thus volitality is only an issue for a short period.
I do offer USD instead of BTC actually - so I don't think that is the issue. Interesting source... |

I am freelance writer too. But I refused to take BTC as a payment and still do. Don't have the guts to accept it I guess. But might accept in the future.
It's understandable and I've certainly found with running CIYAM Open that the *enthusiasm* drops when the USD exchange rate drops (so I have come to the conclusion that the idea is still *years ahead of its time*). Or perhaps the business model is flawed, we at Bitlancers hedge all freelancers money against USD, thus volitality is only an issue for a short period. |

Yes, but only after local stores start accepting Bitcoin. Seems long way before this happens, because without a lot of people having Bitcoins, there is not much incentive for local stores to care
Ultimately you'd have to sell the BTC, what I really meant is would you ACCEPT them and not use bitpay etc where they are instantly sold and you "accept" fiat. |

OP means to say, "Many people will be incapable of properly securing their bitcoins."
This may be true. People have been programmed to be irresponsible for so long now. They just happily pay someone to take care of everything for them. They pay people to insure their property for them. They pay people to protect their money for them. They pay people to make crucial decisions about the world for them. They pay people to raise their kids for them. The list just keeps on going.
This will simply change over time as new generations learn how to deal with the freedom of responsibility which Bitcoin can provide.
By the way, it's not rocket surgery.
1. Create private key offline.
2. Store private key offline.
3. Sign transactions offline.
There is even software available to help regular folks like myself accomplish this task! It's called Armory.
It is precisely that. It can be extremely difficult even for intellectuals, never mind some average Joe. Say your laptop is offline, say it is a modern laptop with a chip the size of a micro transistor, what the chip does is it transmits data over a radius of a kilometer so a perpetrator can connect from a black box (or connect said black box to the satellite and connect from across the world) and gain access to your desktop, your hard drive, your whole virtual world and identity, even without you being connected to the internet or having your Wi-Fi on (or even having either present). It use to be that such chips were installed in military hardware as some leaked documents show, these days it's safe to assume that they are in everything unless proven otherwise. Your best bet would be to buy a laptop from 2006, take it apart and remove the graphic card, the wi-fi chip, the sound card chip, the bluetooth chip and everything else which isn't required, install a linux based system which isn't total shit while verifying the checksums and even perhaps swap some of the hardware with other 2006 or older hardware (ideally from before American 9/11). Even then I wouldn't taunt our three letter friends because the odds would still be against you. So yes, neither Tor, nor PGP, nor Bitcoin is "secure", even for intellectuals. |

Seems rather penile in it's appearance, you sure you're not a closed homosexual?
Are you serious? This is the most offensive comment I've seen in quite a while. "closed homosexual" Dumb fuck! Yes because an accidental "d" instead of a "t" renders the whole sentence invalid. Perhaps stop drawing vertical cocks, you're the offensive one. |

Title says all. How do they? Is their some kind of software/API that allows a business to see a customer has performed their transaction so they wouldn't need to wait a ridiculously long amount of time?
My best assumption is they would be able to look it up through blockchain.
Unless you are selling 200,000$ lambourghinis accepting it with 0 confirmations would be perfectly fine and safe |

What is the point of a Bitcoin social network? The elite would rather meet behind closed doors in europe surrounded by attractive ladies, security, drinks, some snacks, the works. The most beautiful part is that it would be exclusive and so no one would harrass you with their stupid crap.
Funny how you guys talk about this exclusive Bitcoin "elite". You make it sound like they're freemasons or something. I thought the whole point of btc is the fact that there is no elite and we are all equal, no? Quite the opposite, Bitcoin is capitalistic in it's nature, not socialistic, I guess you could say that the whole point of BTC is the fact that there are people that the value of their life is less than a dogs, there are also people that are worth as much as thousands of "normal" people. |

What I am curious about re the Swiss referendum is whether the Swiss will be forced to buy 1500 tonnes as I believe they will have to do should it pass. 1500 tonnes is lot of gold (48,225,000 oz).
FOFOA has mentioned that it is hard to buy more than, say, 100 tonnes of physical at once. Even for a Central Bank, buying large amounts of physical is hard. And look how much trouble Germany is having getting gold back from the FRBNY...
But, if Switzerland were to "buy" their gold via the vaults of the BIS, and NOT demand that the gold leave the BIS, then maybe buying the 1500 tonnes would be more like buying "paper gold" rather than the physical. The BIS is in Switzerland (Basle) though, so perhaps that might count as gold stored "in Switzerland".
there is a good chance this will expose the paper gold lies. unlike Germany if this passes the swiss government has to by law demand the gold back, unlike Germany who just took the bullshit excuses as to why they can't get their gold back. LOL Swiss is like the bully on the block |

Bitcoin will never take off without centraliziation whereas a set number of intellectuals will look after the BTC of the stupid masses. Your inferior brains are the achilles heel of Bitcoin security wise, not SHA256, not RIPEMD-160 and not the ECDSA which the NSA may build a billion dollar computer to record all the sounds that your processor makes while generating and crack.
This or really easy and simple device (maybe like trezor not sure yet coz i don't use trezor), to make safe transactions without risk. It would have to be more heavily consumerised and dumbed down for the masses, perhaps even the name changed and offer new "state of the art animations" and sounds that go DINGDINGDING once you've sent or received a payment. Very similar to iPhones. |
