1061  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: How much did you lose through Cryptodouble ? on: October 30, 2015, 10:44:14 AM
anyone stupid/greedy/gullible  enough to participate deserved to lose ....
and they will probably lose next time too ....the rich get richer ,the poor get poorer
somethings just dont change from real world money to crypto

there are many who are earning from HYIPs. there are people who are doing this all day, they are playing in different HYIPs...small amount usually and they can earn a decent amount daily...of course. sometimes they lose but there is no 100% safe biz.... Smiley

Only the scammer running it earns.... Because he knows when it's going to fold .... Everyone else is permanently at risk until it collapses....

There is no reason why a withdrawal shouldn't be processed immediately

One word why: Goxed

Or a user that needs to resolve his issue with our compliance department

What the hell are you talking about? You don't even care to respond to my tickets after 2 weeks, i submitted all the fuc.king documents you are asking for now process my withdrawals!

Sounds like goxxed....

im kinda scared for the reward halfening, just worried that bitcoin just might go haywire and people lose hope  Sad


lots of data hall equip gonna hit the world ..mucho btc difficulty increase in next 4 or 5 months.......if more sideways price action and the pull back on mining begins
because they got burnt driving difficulty up on each other...well

something? has to happen imho....sideways on price at that point and you could well be right it could slip/slide downward towards despair and confusion  (gasp) 'tulips' Ack!

Something has to give ..that something you'd think would be 'price increase' but wtf I've no idea

Difficulty will adjust to the appropriate level, if some people shut down their mining rigs the ones that keep running will get the mining rewards when difficulty subsequently falls, probably within 2 weeks... Its a self sustaining system

1064  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Halvening on: October 13, 2015, 02:11:20 PM
it is evident from previous halvings that bitcoin prices doubles after each halving, so i think that prices will not skyrocket after halving. 500 dollars is what i am speculating, as there is currently no news of mass adaption of bitcoins which can skyrocket its prices.

previous block halvings were when bitcoin had a very small market cap, which makes it very easy to get the price up in a quick fashion. the upcomming halving won't result in a double price.
If you think people won't stock up on coins in the months before the halving, you are mistaken

Indeed, I imagine many have been accumulating coins all year in preparation for the halving. The trouble is, how many halvings did the 2013 bubble price in? Cheesy I wonder if expectations are too high here.....

A lot of People want to get more btc I think ... But they can't buy a load at once and still pay the rent etc if  they're  job only pays x amount every month.... Buying will pick up  when the media reports on it and the coming halvening
1065  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Halvening on: October 12, 2015, 04:17:47 PM
Things can easily snowball out of control and likely will - people buying before the halving  will be reported by the media and the publicity will  lead more people to buy.... Then the halving of surplus coins will take effect so there will be a new ALT.... and it might even shock us  all  come before the halving because people I have talked to are stocking up in advance

like the Gox bubble?

I hope because bubbles are lucrative and some people always stay when the bubble poops

The next bubble might be driven by users rather than artificially trading bot or gox cooking the books... But literally anything could start it, maybe we'll see it well  before the halving
Even 1 single country dumping funds into btc could have a huge effect on the price

The price raise is inevitable with time and halvings etc
I am sure of that much..

Raise to $50,000 per piece I am not sure in our lifetimes, it could happen easily if some  event  increased demand rapidly but I would predict a more gentle curve upwards with adoption growing and supply dwindling....

$5000  I can see.... In the not too far away future 

More Scarcity  + equal  consumption would bring us there eventually as is without anything happening  ....
  but the unpredictable things like   darkwebs services  and markets and gambling are growing as more and more people figure out how to use them so the growth could hyper inflate much faster than people anticipate...

50k a btc would need legitimate companies using or accepting  it for business transactions to reduce costs etc I think but 5k will be attainable whether they like it or not due to factors outside their control

The people have the power to make or break anything and the general public  will not stop smoking weed/gambling or whatever else they  want  just because their local law says they're not allowed that...

An uncontrollable multinational payment system that involves no trusted party will never fail completely  so  forget anyone who says it's going to $0 as they are probably buying up  coins while scaring you into parting with yours cheaply... There is a ridiculous amount of these kind of people now, they say btc is doomed worthless and yet they spend all their time on a btc forum (wouldn't that make their lives worthless too? ) .... Not too difficult to see their true  agenda once you've been here for awhile... you will be able to spot them from a distance ....

Be wary of them here and elsewhere scaremongering  .... They will do anything to get your btc because the race has started and human greed has no limits... But btc IS limited, scarce and valuable... Wink

The indictment says:
Quote
involved the transport and transmission of funds that were known to the defendant to have been derived from a criminal offense and were intended to be used to promote and support unlawful activity
I wonder what that's about. I doubt that he was knowingly helping the Silk Road or anything like that...

The thing is... Why do people pay a premium for bitcoin when they can just buy it from an exchange by linking their bank?  There are a lot of people that intentionally want to remain anonymous because they are laundering money or made the money illegally.  I have asked some borrowers before why they can afford such high interest rates and they have told me the about their customers.

It could be that, or a million other reasons too

Why do people like privacy in general? Nobody likes to be observed and recorded even if they have done nothing wrong...
Why do people not just use their real name or social security number as forum handles to post on the Internet?
Why does tor have any users?
Why do we still use cash for transactions when a card system would be cleaner and more efficient and eliminate the need to carry notes and coins around?   (at least in 1st world countries it would work flawlessly with today's technology )

Have you ever heard of price elasticity?If terorists or drug companies asks for BTC for payment then there will be a gigantic demand.

Technically one and the same lol

This is why everyone must use a brain-wallet. Lets see how they can seize bitcoins from someone's mind!

(Note brainwallet.org is not to be confused with a brain wallet... the two are actually opposites)

ever heard of a waterboard ?
1075  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BurtW arrested (update: charges dropped!) on: September 18, 2015, 04:30:15 PM
I am still fuming that 35 armed agents surrounded my house, touched my underwear, touched my little girl's underwear, searched my little girl's bedroom, and put my nerdy defenseless husband in the Denver County Jail where he could have been killed (by cops or criminals, it's hard to tell the difference these days) and then isolated him in solitary confinement for 3 days so they could seize Bitcoins from my husband and try to break him to be a confidential informant or cooperating witness. 

We did not get all of our property back even though the charges, which never should have been filed anyway, were dropped.

I know the following property is missing:  my brand new Microsoft Office License Key (probably pocketed by an agent) and 186 Bitcoins (yes, Bitcoins are property per the IRS).

The Bitcoins that are missing are being held by Homeland Security at this address:

https://blockchain.info/address/1Eu38i1DkRAPAJhSqbseVroJDpMRfJbAx3

If you receive Bitcoins from this address, please consider donating them back to my daughter's 529 College Savings Account Smiley

I'm actually pretty clueless about the Bitcoin world.  If you see them move, let me know.  I am curious as to what the feds do with these coins.

Thanks,

Jean



186 bitcoins is worth fighting for ,if not for their value today ......but their potential value in 5-10 years could be millions of dollars
i would get the lawyer to hound them
1076  Economy / Speculation / Re: I will not Die Untill Bitcoin will reach at Least 50K on: September 18, 2015, 04:26:13 PM
I have more faith that bitcoin will reach 1 million price mark very soon. Because when investors looking for alternate safe source for their money bitcoin would be their problem solver. Why not right now : 1. Lack of bitcoin knowledge 2. Small bitcoin market cap (one whale can make bitcoin price into any direction)

one whale dump now would be absorbed easily ,europe is heading for an ecomonic   crisis
smart people will need to keep funds safe outside banks
americans are already not trusting the banks with their 100% worth anymore
i think the future is very bright if your in it for the long term
1077  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I am pretty confident we are the new wealthy elite, gentlemen. on: September 04, 2015, 08:11:14 PM
I have never seen a boom and bust that wasn't perpetuated by government involvement. Bitcoin is immune from such things.



Oh Atlas, you really were a stupid little troll. Too bad your suicide was as big a failure as your life.

Tomorrow, the UK & USA decide to make investing in Bitcoin illegal, punished by life imprisonment.

Suddenly, Bitcoin crashes and becomes obsolete. Government wins.

Just because you think it would be unethical to do so, doesn't mean that the Government CAN'T and WON'T do something so dramatic.. I'll expect to see very strict regulation when companies start dealing in BTC more frequently and the governments catch wind that companies aren't paying tax. I expect that companies will be required to publicly disclose all bitcoin addresses they own to the government - and so the government will get involved.


If history has taught us anything is that Prohibition of anything doesn't actually work
Banning something popular has never worked with alcohol, weed, prostitution, piracy or anything else
They only fuel the consumption by driving it underground and putting control of it into the hands of organised criminals
Its better to semi regulate it so they can at least get some tax from the honest users and  companies

What's a portable Bitcoin core?
1079  Economy / Speculation / Re: If bitcoin forks to XT, the price will start declining on: August 17, 2015, 04:03:31 AM
There's little chance that the eventual forking will have impact on the price, and i believe that (atleast for a certain period of time) it will be negative one.
The main reason for my concern is the timeframe between the time that XT activates, and >1mb block makes chains different, and the time services and exchanges
find a solution to this issue.

I don't think that the fork with affect the price of bitcoin. The are to many other factors that will affect this but not the fork. the fork will disappear to fast to be remembered and everything will be only story. To be told when it will be another fork. 

fork it and get it over with !!!!!

im sick to the teeth of these doomsday  threads .......every cou[ple of months for nearly 7 years ive heard every possible sky is falling ,get out now etc

if anyone  has enough money and power to  crash the network ,they would have done it by now ,its well designed but let them try already .........#


wtf are they waiting for ......
1080  Economy / Economics / Re: Tell me your predictions about Bitcoin on: August 11, 2015, 01:21:55 AM
it will gain momentum
much inferior things have been adopted before

the advantages are too great ,dark web use alone would be worth over 1k per btc
but mainsream adoption ,would literally go beyond the moon

1k 5k or even 10k would be drops in the bucket if it made it ,even if it doesnt ,there is plenty of shady deals
and wealth hiders to take it well past 1k usd by darknet alone

anyone who knows now and refuses ......good luck,they had their chance to get in at the bottom so plz dont complain
when a whole btc is too expensive to buy...
