We have waited for the Bitlicense for - what - one year? There was lots of uncertainty because of that. Now that it's done, it has to mean something, right? It seems that the (bearish) market maker at Bitfinex doesn't get this  They will regret that later on  |

Why? Look at Nxt. It is clearly the next Generation of Crypto Currency. Where does this leading position come from? Definitly someone, who is involved in Crypto-Dev for a long time. Someone for whom Bitcoin is from yesterday. Nxt is Ethereum..right now |

It would be interesting to know in what phase we are now. You remember Ghandi saying: "First they laugh at you,then they ignore you, then the FIGHT you..then you win? And the second thing is: Is it professionally organized(by a specialized company) or are they some ultra-fanatic bears with to much time.I'd say that both is possible even though there speaks a lot for professionals. I spent a lot of time with promoting Bitcoin myself. I talk to friends, tell them what advantages it has and why we should use it rather than fiat. My motivation is to do the "right thing" and because i may profit from an rise in value But what motivation could the trolls have? Profit from falling prices, want to buy low, competing crypto-currencys? Competing crypto's would be possible too. Also some popular members of the bitcoin community did altcoin-bashing in the past. But most reasonable, in points of resources and motivation, are the big-money-corps and gov's. Also the last Bter-hack is suspicious to be an attack on Bitcoins credibility! The price was rising..bter got hacked..what a surprise! |

I've watched conversations on this forum over the years that I was sure was two fed agents talking to each other (or maybe one posing as two). The things they said were too canned and definitely not the way real people talk. The answer to your question is yes. I've seen it here.
Sometimes it is very strange! You say to yourself: What are these people doing here? They join a forum about a specific issue, such as Bitcoin, and then talk of how bad Bitcoin is and that it is dead, dangerous, criminal or whatever. I cannot understand, what motivates people to do this? Because there is no "bitcoin-hatetalk.org" ? A market niche?  |

Burn 5 xxx-notes at home, catch it on video, and get 1000 fiat-burn-coins!Aahahhahahahahaaahah!!! I would die, due to an extreme laughing flash..  Even if you are done burning all the paper money, there will be even more that gets printed to replace the one getting lost. And no matter how much that gets burned or thrown away forever, there will be even more around. So How much more can you actually afford to get all the paper money to do for the film stunt. Very well said. Central banks in each country can publish as much money as they decide, there is no limitations here. Only question in this process is what is the real value of this money. If you assume the total money circulation and their distribution, you'll see that private households still control much more money, than any government does. If 2 percent of all people decide to get out of euros by taking their whole cash of the bank an burn it for burn-coins. The Euro would be done. The can print what they want, when this hyper-inflation starts to run, there is nothing they could do! And it's the best people can do. There is a nice example from Brasil! I read it in a newspaper. There was a time, when the real had up to 40 percent inflation/month. There were some residents that made a fake paralel-currency called "Surreal". That automatically established a market competition!  Link: http://www.theguardian.com/world/shortcuts/2014/feb/02/rio-residents-fighting-inflation-fake-currency |

I see the threat or hate campaign will most likely come from companies offering money transfer services. If bitcoin ever gets big, it will most likely grab a large portion of the existing market share, so logically you would want your competitors out of the game at all cost. If you notice, nowadays trolls are all using newbie accounts and this raises the suspicion whether they got paid exactly to do that.
I saw a interesting presentation organized by an economist. He stated that normal banks usually have only 2% of their total liabilities available in liquid reserves.Once there were depot-banks and credit-banks now it is a mixture of both. One that allows banks to instantly invest the money you deposited in whatever they want. You don't have your money laying around there. At the moment of your deposit, the bank OWE's you this money. The second point is fractural reserve. Only 10 percent of the sum banks lend you need to be owned by themselves. It is this a giantic house of cards, where only 2 cards out of hundred needs to be "withdrawn" anywhere! So Bitcoin does not only affect payment processors, it also is a competing currency. It is a decentralized free-market currency, that gets it value through free interactions of market members. It has in fact many advantages over Fiat including anonymity. If enough people decide to use Bitcoin..fiat is done! We need a fiat-burn-coin! Like counterparty, while burning fiat Burn 5 xxx-notes at home, catch it on video, and get 1000 fiat-burn-coins!Aahahhahahahahaaahah!!! I would die, due to an extreme laughing flash.. Didn't got that  I said, we need a fiat-burn-coin, like Counterparty did it with btc. To get some, you could burn 5 fiat-notes at home and make a video of it. Is money burning illegal? LOL no it's not , i would love to see a video of you burning them Create a burning-coin and i'll burn 50 Euros! |

Bitcoin is valuable as it is, there is no need to destroy fiat in order to increase its value, actualy, by destroying fiat, lets say usd, you would only increase the value of it, because there would be less of it in circulation. Same thing would happen if you were to "destroy" bitcoin by sending it to non existant address. I believe it is illegal, since its representation of a country, a symbol, like a flag, but u would probably get soone in financial problems than legal, i think. cheers Can you remember Eric Cantona's project in 2010? He tried to organize a bank-run. All you had to to, was enter the serial-number of one 5-Euro Note on a web page. It's wasn't very successful. Burning Fiat will have the same effect as this project. At the moment when you buy (for example) Bitcoins with Fiat, you only trade the Fiat for Bitcoins. The Fiat will maybe be deposited somewhere and is therefor still laying around on any bank. It is not out of circulation. Cantona tried to bring the money out of circulation. This is exactly how a bank run happens! So what will happen if you burn Fiat for Crypto's?
