everyone keeps talking about "he will be rich when" "He will be wealthy" blah blah
we don't even know if he kept the coin he could have sold it buy now.
if he was living off of his fathers inheritance and squandered it on bitcoin he would have to sell the bitcoin to make back some money.
Not many people could thug it out in a crack house working at ben and jerry's while they have 600 bitcoin that they sold their home for.
He's got another house and most likely a job as well |

The Winklevoss twins have a track record of betting on the wrong horse.
What were those wrong horses? They trusted Zuckerberg to code their social network ConnectU, he betrayed them and ran away with the idea: fail. They invested in BitInstant but it went bust as the founder got prosecuted for money laundering: fail. They are starting an official bitcoin exchange but it's already too late because CoinBase has the first mover advantage and backing from NYSE: fail. They invested millions over millions in Bitcoin without realizing that it is crippled by technical limitations and already earmarked for replacement by newer and better technology: fail. The only mistake they made was to trust Zuckerberg when they were teensgers imo They have amassed a fortune already, more money than most people will ever see in their dreams 1.2 million Facebook shares - win 1% of the total btc - win Their own regulated exchange - win First btc etf (if approved) - win Made money from bitinstant but avoided the legal issues unlike Charlie - win They also have tens of millions of dollars in cash if not hundreds so even if everything imploded tomorrow they would be fine - win Seem to be doing OK for a couple of young guys.... But I'm sure you could do it better, right? elite uni - win gold medals - win ... I just looked them up on Wikipedia. They don't seem to have done anything besides Facebook and winning a gold metal. I expected more ... ROFL T ell us What have you done then ?  |

You should run a full node onnly for support the bitcoin network, you don't have any other advantage.
I'm confused, don't you receive the tx fees?  No only the mining pool received the TX fees , it is a PoW coin not a PoS coin . I thought only lightweight nodes and asic miners need a central server or pool. Full nodes should connect directly to other nodes. OK, I've looked it up: transaction fees of a transaction can only be collected by including it into a valid block. And to be able to include a transaction in a valid block you have to mine a valid block. If you would mine one block, you could collect the fees, but nowadays nobody does solo-mining I guess? it is worth running a full node to keep the network strong if you can leave your computer on 24/7 and connected to internet plenty of people still mine at home but you need decent hardware to make it worthwhile and cheap electric ,a cpu or gpu mining would be losing you money thesedays i would imagine unless your power is free |

...and the police dont steal your money unless you have done something wrong and they can prove that Wrong. If you have a large amount in cash, that's a proof on itself (for authorities) that it may come from illegal activities. It can be seized and you'll have to prove it was legit to get it back. 'Innocent until proven guilty' doesn't work in this case. Here's some random article about the subject: http://edition.cnn.com/2015/01/21/us/asset-seizures/we dont all live in murica ...........  |

I wouldn't risk to make such a large transaction with cash. For that kind f money, some people could try to set up a fake wallet...
how would a fake wallet work then assuming the deal is done in person at a police station or in a bank etc to negate the risk of robbery by either party ? When you have a briefcase full of cash, a police station is the last place you want to go. There's a 100% probability your money would be seized. Even a bank isn't safe. In most countries nowadays, banks aren't comfortable handling large sums of cash. Only Switzerland remains safe. maybe they do that where you live but in my country you are free to bring bundles of cash into a bank ,use the automatic counting machines and then give it to someone else etc and the police dont steal your money unless you have done something wrong and they can prove that |

question: if floyd can beat manny easily, then why he cant accept the fight? im going for manny manny is always dangerous but i think floyd will stay away from his power and win by points decision ,george foreman used to say any man with 2 hands has a chance to win |

Well you also can count on stocks like CocaCola, Apple or Microsoft to continue gaining strenght over years.
Why would you assume that? What percentage of fortune 500 companies maintain dominance today vs 50 years ago? Most People would laugh at you if you suggested Kodak would need to file for bankruptcy 20 years ago. Look how quickly history has unfolded though and how a small finish company out of nowhere was able to outsell cameras within 1 year. Yup, but we are talking at least 10 years in time and monopolies of CocaCola as king of drinks and Apple and Microsoft as king of computers have 0, 0, absolutely 0 real competence. Pepsi? Linux? Lol, not gonna happen. These are safe. i thought pepsi co. was already worth more than coke ? but i cant drink pepsi ,il always go for coke if theres a choice Investing in coke was a great investment in any previous decade. pepsi market cap 145 Billions, coke 185 Billions very interesting reading : Coca-Cola has a market capitalization of $170 billion. PepsiCo’s (NYSE: PEP) is almost $127 billion. PepsiCo’s revenue was $66 billion last year. Coca-Cola’s was $47 billion. A deeper look into the two companies shows the valuation debate gets even more confusing. http://247wallst.com/consumer-products/2014/04/12/is-coke-worth-more-than-pepsi/ |

... and yes, it is an investment
At least that's what you Beanie Babies Bitcoin enthusiasts keep telling me. I guess you're right. Technically...  Yes, tecnically and practically  648 BTC x 260.41 = 168 745 $ if you did that yesterday it would have been around $310x 648btc= $200,880 i dont see what you guys get out of shitting on this guy he will be richer down the road ,hes hardly going to sell at the lowest price points of the year when hes got another house to live in anyway plz dont quote lambchop ,i have him on my ignore list |

have you worked out any estimation of how much you lost ?
IIRC the news was already out on sunday that they were opening the first regulated exchange in 24 states (but it didnt say which ones )
i dont think you can blame them because the price didnt go to the moon ,it takes people time to trust a new service
IF its good ,it will gather momentum as more people use it and then comes the snowball effect in time
it could be $500 in a month or two

what if the email gets eaten by spam filter and recipient never recieves it
all is left is a useless pendrive ......you need something better to guarantee reliability

Honestly I wish I could find a reasonable house for $50,000 in my state. I only found one that was all broken down.
move to detroit ,you could get your own neighbourhood for 50k |

They are both past their best (5 years I reckon) , it will certainly go to points as neither knocks anyone out anymore.
I will take Pacquaio by close decision, leading to Mayweather vs Pacman 2, which is good for both of their wallets!
floyd will never agree to a loss ,he wants to retire -unbeaten- hes not going to take the risk of being knocked into next week trading punches with manny i think if it happens ,it happens in vegas and mayweather wins on points ...... |

I'm curious about the age of bitcoin users. Post your age!
Being rich could be fun  it is just collect a few coins and wait 5 years you will be happy |

floyd will win a boxing match by running away on points if it ever turned into a fight manny would rape him but i dont think floyd would ever fight mannys style A win is a win. only on the scorecards .......floyds a coward |
|

this fight should have happened 5 years ago
manny had a few bad knockouts since floyd been avoiding him and i dont think hes in his prime anymore

if theyre not there because of security issues i might understand it since they hold 180,000 btc which is well worth stealing ?
Someone takes their troops up a huge high rise in the heart of San Fran in the heart of the Financial District and expect to get out without a small medium war going off? That's why you get the office in the Financial District and not Oakland... SF Financial District doesn't have half hour police response time and most buildings have a security guard or concierge. banks and jewellery stores have been robbed for a lot less in the past ........... have you tried their email or telephone to see if anyone can answer whats up ? What am I going to do call them up and asked them: And any other question you care to ask. if i lost money yesterday i would call their number to see if its fake too ......... i am not defending their shady practices at all if they are doing something wrong then it should be brought to peoples attention but are you saying all the pictures are fake ? this is big news if its true |
