There are idiots everywhere.  I care not what fools say, the fact that I have changed one person's life, let alone the several that do believe in me, speaks way more than your doubt ever will.

Your government steals thousands and thousands of dollars from each and everyone of you, every year, and you're concerned with the guy is trying to put an end to their enslavement and theft of your life.  Foolish.
Wow, what a powerful speech.  Cheesy

It's pretty obvious you don't really know how to ride, especially from the way you were wobbling around like a 5 year old on his first bike without training wheels when you came up on the first red light. Next time you find yourself going "too fast" for a turn, commit, push the inside bar in more (it's called countersteering, look it up if you plan on doing anything more than highway runs), weight the inside peg, and look as far ahead into the turn as you can. There is absolutely no excuse for "not leaning enough" and running off the road. The more likely scenario is that you freaked out and target fixated your way into a ditch. You go where you look, and the bike will lean far more than you think it will.

A few tips:
Tuck your laces in, they'll get caught in the chain or on the pegs.
Stay out of the center of the lane, particularly at stop lights, there's lots of oil there which will cling to your tire. You also want to be off to the side in case of a rear end accident.
Get your weight off your wrists/the handlebars and support your upper body with your back, abs, and thighs. This is a major contributing factor to the way you wobble around at low speeds. You are introducing that instability with poor control, the bike will roll straight on it's own. That's also probably why you roll through lights, slow speed is the hard part on a bike.

I won't comment on your lack of gear, shifting ability, and the way you endanger other people's lives.
Dank wasn't expecting someone on here to know what they are talking about concerning bikes. BadBear is right, you was wobbling all over the place.

Dank your such an attention seeking arse hat. Cheesy

I don't have money for that, nor are there any around here, nor do I have the pads I would like to truly kneescrape corners.
Kneescraping around corners indeed!! Cheesy
The only way your kneepads would get any scrapping wear is when you inevitably fall off the bike.

What kind of fucking bullshit is this

Like honestly.. what on earth does this do? Going down where we were 6 hours ago, right away. What a bunch of shit.

Thank fucking fuck that I got out with my longs 3 days ago, but this is just painfull to watch at the moment. Go through that fucking roof already.

as long as you're not getting emotional about it, I'm sure you'll be fine.

just stick to the plan.

This has nothing todo with emotions anymore. I've made some nice bucks over the last 12 days. No problem...

But this market just makes me go fucking nuts. Look at it yourself, honestly. This shit is not normal, Imma stop going forex from now on. Seriously had enough of it. You can get burned so damn fast with this BTC market. Long nor short, you will get burned somehow. Imagine going in for a long position for $1500 and it drops $15, you nearly lose $890 right away. It's insanity Smiley

Im done with Plus500 and BTC at this moment. Withdrawn my money and I'll check once in a while what the prices be. Still have my own 12 Bitcoins left. See what it's worth in a month.. or 2.

Sounds like your out of your depth. Perhaps play a different game.

Permission from Apple if I want to use Bitcoin. Oh, really.  Cheesy

Does a person, like Dank, that has brain damage, understand that they have brain damage?
For example, everything could appear normal for the person, but for everyone else looking in externally, that person will be batty as a fruitcake. Of course to the person everyone else is in the wrong and they are quite healthy.

Can this happen?

Only on earth do we have to work hard for a living to survive, instead of expecting others to work while we sit around bone idle all day expecting free handouts.

What a world....

How do you afford to run an iPhone if you don't work?
1789  Economy / Speculation / Re: Pump and dump. on: May 31, 2014, 06:28:47 PM
Very nice volume. Tryhard fanboys pump the price twice, the price and volume continue to decrease afterwards, volume was again back to extremely low levels yesterday. Get the bigger picture, pump and dump, BTC is done.  This is not how you attract masses, if you want to attract masses to sponsor your pyramid scheme, you gonna need to solve a problem for the masses, not for drug cartels.
I detect a little underlying butthurt.  Cheesy

I predict that Bitcoin will trade for under $10 a share by the first half of 2014, single digit pricing reflecting its option value as a pure commodity play.

How this clown must be kicking himself. Of course, only behind closed doors. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about Mark.

yes pizzza too expensive

Do you realize the resources that go into making the millions of pizzas each and every day?

Abolish Pizza: Save the Planet.

The resources used for global food production/transportation must be immense.

Ban food production, so we can solve global hunger!
1792  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is BITCOIN more expensive than other cryptocurrency? on: May 24, 2014, 03:15:49 PM
Yes for working people that are new to bitcoin, its hard for them to get in.
If they hear they cant mine it anymore, and the price to buy it is to high for them.

This makes zero sense.

If you want to buy $10 worth of bitcoins, then you can buy $10 worth of bitcoins regardless of their price.
1793  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: is bitcoin the reason for world hunger? on: May 24, 2014, 07:20:41 AM
some ppl say with the whole electricity bill of the whole miners you could end the world hunger.

Do they even allow acess to the internet there?

I believe they have a huge censored intranet. Only a privileged few can access the wider internet.

there are far more important things to discuss than girls mate ,, try focusing on how make this world a better place for our selves and for our future generations ,, Smiley

If the boys don't focus on the girls there won't be any future generations. Cheesy
1796  Economy / Speculation / Re: Final Final Warning for Long-term holders… on: April 25, 2014, 05:46:07 PM
I read most of the thread Jr65 started with the inflammatory subject and decided to plagiarize it.  I will not post a single block of text but apologies in advance for grammar and typos.


Bitcoin was intended to be decentralized and peer-to-peer.

  • Mining is no longer decentralized or peer-to-peer.  Individuals for the most part are done.  From here on in it will consolidate more and more with fewer and fewer players backed by big investors (Private Equity, Hedge funds, Banks)
  • Scalability of bitcoin seems dubious and there does not appear to be a robust development plan to re-architect fundamental issues with the protocol.  Just patches and fixes.  Blockchain is currently 16.5 GB in size and will easily be 50 GB within a year.  http://stormcloudsgathering.com/bitcoin-what-youre-not-being-told
  • Businesses are uneasy about adopting bitcoin because it is too unpredictable and unstable.  May go up or down hundreds of dollars in a moment’s notice.
  • Over the past 6 months I’ve noticed very tight computer driven arbitrage happening between Bitstamp, BTC-e, and Huobi.  The total market cap and daily volume is nowhere near big enough to resist manipulation.  Since it’s not government backed or regulated, well the best of the best are free to manipulate it as much as possible.  I can only imagine how the different camps manipulating it are battling it out.
  • Russia, China, and other corrupt authoritarian/totalitarian governments will likely stifle anything that challenges their control of banking and the flow of money within their countries.  Only those in the inner circle are allowed to launder...
  • There are 650,000 stolen bitcoins out there that are likely being sold off on a regular basis providing steady downward pressure.

Bitcoin end is nigh…

Disclosure, I completely got out of bitcoin back in January.  Don’t plan to re-enter.  Providing my perspective for others to consider.  I’m sure long term holders will say “good riddance”, “more cheap coins for us”, and “HODL!”  I’d encourage anyone who is digging in harder and harder to really step back and take stock of the overall situation.

I got in because I loved the concept of bitcoin and recognized the inevitability of it.  A digital nongovernmental peer-to-peer currency will happen.  I just don’t think bitcoin will be it.  Many have pointed out its likely to be a footnote like Napster is to music distribution.  I agree.


You give up too easy.

1798  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: BitSimple. A simpler way to buy and sell bitcoins. on: April 21, 2014, 06:26:20 AM
As always, BitSimple takes security seriously so even our temporary server is 100% dedicated (no VPS or backdoor super admin accounts) and I personally installed the OS and configured the BIOS remotely over IPMI.

I read this paper once

http://fish2.com/ipmi/bp.pdf

not sure I would entirely trust IPMI to be left switched on if I was running a server.
1799  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are you f...ing kidding me? on: April 11, 2014, 09:14:55 AM
There are better and faster coins than bitcoin now, bitcoin is dying and only thing keeping it afloat is the fact that it was the first. Open your eyes, come to reality, wake up from your slumber

Which ones exactly?
1800  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Transaction confirmation time down on: April 05, 2014, 01:51:16 PM
I remember my first ever BTC purchase and it took over 8 hours for the coins to be confirmed.

If the correct fee is attached this generally doesn't happen.
