Very funny.  You were in the middle of eating a turkey sandwich. Resume. |

You're probably not going to find a whole lot of work. Writing is something we're all good at; you'd have to have a reason to write, and what you do write will have to be something I couldn't write about easily. Articles come to mind. Doing research. But drawing is def not gonna get you a whole lot of work; I've found a few jobs painting but they're not exactly pouring in  |

Keiser? Bullish on Bitcoins? What is this world coming to?! |

Thanks.  A few months ago it would scarely have been in my wildest dreams to buy domains for less than BTC0,07! How on earth did we ever believe bankster paper was any good for savings? *shakes own head, disbelieving his own earlier naïveté*That's what I'm saying. Momma always told me to save my cash, not to spend it frivolously. But it never mattered in the end, 'cos inflation outmatches the rate of my savings account anyway. Thing is, if you don't know of any alternatives, you'll think this is it; I never considered once an alternative to the dollar before I found out about Bitcoin. They certainly don't teach that stuff in school  |

I wonder what the pay rate is for intentionally remaining misinformed about subjects you plan to write about. After all, if she did go out of her way to learn, her editor would probably shoot her writing down and fire her anyway. She hasn't incentive to do that, because she likes having a job.
Fetch! Good girl.

I've been wondering who'd actually buy TRC at a high quantity? What incentives and value do they see in this currency?
Well, it's not fiat, so that's always a good starting point. AFAIK it's pretty similar to Bitcoin. So it's mostly speculation; if I buy in now, and TRC goes up really high in price, I'll be rich! |

Figures it's from Dallas.
Probably why no one fell for it. Ha ha no kidding  The longer you're around scams, the harder it is to fall for them. |

I take it this is the kind of novel I'd be interested in |

I've heard extraordinarily bad things about this book; anyone care to explain what it's about in a couple of sentences?
Think for yourself. Be yourself. That sounds like a good premise for a book. So that only leaves the question: why's it getting so much hate? |

I would give you some money (because I just randomly hand money to complete strangers for no reason all the time) but I don't like scammers and given your propensity to transfer wealth to scammers any wealth I give you has a high probability of ending up in the hands of a scammer. Since we both hate scammers so much you will understand why it is a good thing I don't give you anything.
And that wraps up this thread |

The next argument would be:
"But litecoin already does what Bytecoin could do! Litecoin also has improvements specifically for these issues!"

Bitcoins should not be an investment, but a temporary carrier of value, a transaction enabler between people without borders.
The real value is in the things you like and enjoy, like food, a bed, art or a vacation.
I enjoy things of value - like money. Oh, you! |

Whoops--I forgot to mention this before, as it hadn't crossed my mind. Apple doesn't like anything to do with Bitcoin apparently. So I hope you didn't plan on doing anything that PayPal currently does, or it's likely to be rejected.  They've already pulled a few iOS apps related to Bitcoin. |

I don't see what the problem is. It's not like Bitcoin is going to develop cancer because someone made a twin. Then again, if I had a clone of myself, I'd probably attempt to kill it. But after realizes how fucking awesome he was, we'd probably get along swell. Then maybe he'd tried to kill me.  If the two of you had sex, would that be homosexuality, or masturbation? Well, as long as we didn't look each other in the eyes... |

Of course, Bitcoin will inevitably fail when a newer technology takes its spot. But it'll probably be another crypto-currency.
Right. Just like the Internet failed when we replaced with Internet2. I don't think any of us are using the same technology when the Internet was first introduced. If you're implying the Internet as a concept, of course there will never be an Internet2. And if we're implying Crypto-currencies as a concept, likewise. But specifically, considering what Bitcoin actually is right now (not even completely 1.0, mind you), we'll inevitably abandon it for something new and improved. As masize said, it's incomparable. A lot of what the Internet brought over from its first incarnation is still around, but a lot of it isn't; HTML is great, but HTML5 is probably better than HTML2. I'm not saying HTML2 isn't around anymore, but why use HTML2 when everyone wants you to use HTML4 or HTML5? Python's great, but most everyone prefers Python 2 at this point. I also heard Windows has been steadily releasing newer OSes for a while; did Windows 98 disappear? No. Does anyone use it? I suppose. Software becomes obsolete as technology improves. Why should Bitcoin be the exception? It has certain hard-coded rules that cannot be upgraded without forking the whole thing. Now everyone's gotta use one or the other: let's say, Bitcoin 1, and Bitcoin 2. Bitcoin 2 has all the improvements over Bitcoin 1, so everyone moves their assets from Bitcoin 1 to Bitcoin 2. Inevitably, people stop using Bitcoin 1. Now: is Bitcoin 2 literally going to be Bitcoin, or is it going to be another form of crypto-currency all together? Either way, the original technology is left behind, and a newer technology takes its spot. Thus, Bitcoin, without anyone to trade with, as we've all moved onto another technology, fails; rather, fail is a harsh word, and I feel I should've picked a better one. Bitcoin will lose enough popularity for its value to drop tremendously from where it would've been if no superior alternative was proposed (including an improved, forked version of Bitcoin.) This could happen in ten years, it could happen in a hundred years, but at the rate technology improves, it is an inevitability. What I do believe, however, will remain for a long time, is what Bitcoin is: a crypto-currency. The concept of crypto-currency will doubtfully have a crypto-currency2; rather, it will simply be improved over time. |
