I don't see why you need to have a live Bitcoin counter for that, it seems like it's quite inaccurate if it's presented and rounded like that. Just say $0.30 for staff, for instance, or 30¢, or $.30...etc. There's no problem with putting USD as an amount in the table if that's what the signature campaign pays in.

..actually hold that price level as it's ridiculously high ..

IMO, you can't really say that. It is an illusion just that you see 1 entire bitcoin as 1 unit. You could see 1 mBTC or even 1 satoshi as 1 unit..

But it could of course go the other way when the whales close and reverse their position. It would happen when a bad news come out or something that makes all whales do it simultaneously..

I don't see what the divisibility of Bitcoin has to do with thinking that at a certain price it would be too expensive for its current activity.

I kind of see what you mean but I think you've missed my point a bit.
583  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why Bitcoin could easily be worth more than 10.000 USD... on: November 04, 2015, 05:35:01 PM
I don't think it's too reasonable to believe that is going to happen in a reasonable time-frame, if at all. IMHO anyway the ideal situation would be for Bitcoin to become a world currency as opposed to simply a "store of value" like precious metals.
584  Economy / Speculation / Re: Poll: How high will this current bull run go? on: November 04, 2015, 05:17:24 PM
To be honest I think we could hit anywhere from $1000-2000 in this bull run, though you can never tell. Of course, I sincerely doubt that we can actually hold that price level as it's ridiculously high and it would definitely indicate a bubble of some sort which would probably burst quite quick.
585  Economy / Speculation / Re: Hello $2500 on: November 04, 2015, 05:14:05 PM
I don't know. It's possible we could hit $2500 as a new ATH but whether we can sustain that or not is an entirely different story, and personally I don't think that we'd be able to sustain that as a price that high would indicate a ridiculous bubble that would burst very quickly in my opinion.
586  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will BTC reach $500 during november? on: November 04, 2015, 05:13:04 PM
Earlier today we had increased by almost $100 in a day.

Come on, guys. This isn't sustainable. We shouldn't have hit $500 this early into november when people were barely predicting we'd hit $300 by the end of october!

@marcotheminer: I would hope that if the pay per post is going to be lowered you make it effective on everyone's next cycle rather than screwing us for our current cycle. Just sayin'. Smiley

(though signs say that this is it; the way to new ATH).

We still can't tell whether it is going to result in a new ATH or not until we get there bud. I wouldn't get too confident here.

It's up to your risk tolerance OP. If you invest $2000 today you could easily gain $1000 or lose $1000 over the next few days.

Do not start taking out loans against Bitcoin
Anyone who is doing this is either plain stupid, optimistic to the point of being an idiot or desperate.
Don't ever lend in bitcoin directly, as you can see volatility of btc is so great that you could be forced to repay 50% more than sum your initial loan was!

Trouble is that I see this a lot, suggestions on these forums to start taking out lines of credit and loans simply to "invest" in bitcoin in the hopes that you can make a quick buck off of what is ultimately a bubble. Trying to time the market like that is such an easy way to lose thousands of dollars.

Litecoin still has a value? Last time I checked it was slugging along struggling to scrape what you could classify "survival" along with the slump in BTC price. I don't recommend you get involved in Litecoin over Bitcoin, it's pretty bad now.
591  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: W3C includes bitcoin as a standard for checkout payments. on: November 04, 2015, 07:03:32 AM

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) , the organization that works for the international standards of internet, has integrated bitcoin as a payment checkout system.
This week its full of good news for bitcoin.

http://bravenewcoin.com/news/w3c-includes-bitcoin-in-new-standards-and-tools-for-web-checkout-processes/

Will this actually make Bitcoin easier for coders to use?

If they happen to be a web developer who is designing something which involves e-commerce, then possibly, but that's the same as the effect of the creation of any other bitcoin payment checkout system really. It's te fact that it's W3C that I like. Smiley

ants don't carry leaves, but only  a part of it, in fact they have a mouth with tooth for this!
I have lived in Central america in the past and I have seen large ants that were totally capable of handling entire leaves.

Perhaps entire leaves, but you do very, very rarely see them with the stem. Perhaps every once in a blue moon, but not that often.

They definitely wouldn't hold them by the stem either.

Could be that. Like I said, you don't see leafcutter ants holding stems. Smiley

If it is that, I wonder who would be credited. Wink Probably isn't though lol

You can't master Bitcoin. Why would you title the book like that?

Bitcoin's economy and lifeforce is always changing, as are all cryptocurrencies. You can never master it because it is constantly dynamically shifting.

Also, ya don't usually see a leafcutter ant holding a stem. Smiley

Bitcoin is an unstable currency, so random jumps in price are normal. You just have to be aware and try to foresee a bubble popping, or someone faildumping and we all lose out.

If only we had a certain day that everyone pitched in and dumped their bitcoin. That would help momentously.

I've conveyed myself wrong, sorry. I know random jumps in price are normal for Bitcoin. These are not the ones we normally see though, and IMHO it's quite obvious that we are going to be walking right into a bubble. No-one knows when it will pop.

597  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will BTC reach $500 during november? on: November 03, 2015, 09:30:17 PM
Although now happened a small dump and prices are again under 400 dollars but this is part of this recent rise in price and I am quite sure in couple of days if not tomorrow the price will be at 500 Dollars.

Wasn't actually that small of a dump, according to some people it might have been as much as ~$12 million in BTC although I have some doubts about that. Good to see it's rebounded, but I still think we're going to start a bubble very soon.
598  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: W3C includes bitcoin as a standard for checkout payments. on: November 03, 2015, 09:26:16 PM
That's great. I respect W3C a lot, to see them now be supporting Bitcoin like this is great! I've always loved their useful coding resources too for when I was starting to code, they're quite well known in that regard Wink Brilliant stuff.
599  Economy / Economics / Re: The truth about the current bubble on: November 03, 2015, 08:56:48 PM
did you read this because you hope it is just a bubble?

Buddy, it might be, or might not, no-one knows.

Personally, I think we are going to walk into a bubble. Whether we are in that bubble yet and whether we will drop below our current level of $400 after the bubble bursts is anyone's guess, but I believe we are about to see one. Possibly a new ATH, I don't know.

A) Buy up more BTC buy hitting stop losses

Hmm? In a market like this (a bubble market atm I believe) I don't think selling a lot of BTC which is quickly bought up is the best tactic for that. Smiley

B) Pump and dump,  buy at 220, pump up, sell,  It's happened a few times but this time.. it blew pas the $300 range.

Perhaps, but I don't think Bitcoin is THAT open to manipulation by pump 'n' dump.
