I think some people from the default trust list should add negative feedback until he pays the $100 bet he made (and clearly lost).

Yes, I'd like to be able to add a negative feedback to his profile since he has soiled my topic and did not apologize. Furthermore, the posted disinformation could mislead a lot of people.

You cant leave negative feedback for no reason. People get "scamer tag" for that! I could report you to a moderator. You have multiple accounts and are trying to scam people.

I'm paying $450 for this. PM me if you have to sell. I want a quick & smooth trade. U can PM me your Skype ID, we can talk there.

Why skype, scammer? Do you send first? Do you even know what escrow is in Africa?

Where do you live?  I can also do $50,000 at that price (unless you can do more) if you are still selling.

Maybe Danny and I can arrange to meet you at the same time.  Wouldn't mind meeting him IRL.

So that is $100,000 can you swing the deal?  


I think he only dreamt about 100,000$. I mean they dont even have running water in most of Africa. He is not from Ireland. Guaranteed. Tell him to write something in Irish.

You can copy/paste all day but you are still wrong. It's okay though I know you don't have the money to pay up on your bet you lost.

This topic isnt about it, douche. And you owe me. As i said - make your buyera pay in parts. Make them send 50$ first "for fees" and the rest as second payment. I know it. I experienced it.
148  Economy / Speculation / Re: Real Bitcoin Price Speculations on: August 02, 2014, 11:20:27 PM
None of your #2 arguments make sense. They depend on unsupportable assumptions, such as you can't own fractional bitcoins and that an average transaction will be $2500.

In order for the value of a bitcoin to reach $500,000 (in today's dollars), Bitcoin would have to become the primary global currency (replacing the dollar). That isn't impossible, but it is extremely unlikely.

No. As I wrote the daily turnover is 40000BTC. So @ 500,000 its going to be 20bln. Thats how the banking system work. But it has backup. 4% of all cash is printed. The rest is electronic currency.

The kid is 27 and used to work in a bank.

To the first user - credit cards even have 6 months chargeback period. Also - you cannot claim fraud when you send money to your friend or family. Only if someone hacks your account and sent gift to themselves. Furthermore here is a way around the buyer protection - it only covers single payments. If something is paid in parts it only covers the first payment.

To the scammer - how many profiles you have you 419er?

OK. It's awesome that people always have their own, unique opinions about bitcoins price increase, but come on!

I also wish bitcoin to be worth 500,000.00 dollars.

However, when making your calculations, you don't get in mind the following:

1. Greed - if bitcoin prices start to rise again, and market reaches 60 - 70k bitcoins daily most of the old investors would sell way below 10,000.00. So prices will fall again. And a snowfall would it be.

2. Simple logic - let's say price gets to 500,000.00 (it's not entirely impossible). For that to happen, market has to reach at least 100k bitcoins a day to create enough bullish velocity. Minimum.
Not only - how many people worldwide own 500,000.00 in cash, ready for an investment? And how many of them would risk it for a currency with no real backup? Very few.
There is a mental limit of 25,000.00. A lot of people would freak out if it reaches such price. And they will sell. However, due to the increased market, and the velocity of sales price will not be stable above 25 grand and will landslide again to at least 5 grand.
Third - serious investors are greedy. Fact. But even they are not so greedy to invest billions of dollars again in a currency with no backup, if they could make a guaranteed 2 - 5% annual return on their investments.
Another thing - let's say the average transaction if BTC is 500,000$ is say 2500$ (which is A LOT). That's 0,05BTC. How many people have to buy 2500$ worth of BTC per day to reach the needed 100000 BTC market?

20 MILLION!

3. Fiat currency - fiat currency is a VERY HARD THING TO SUSTAIN! Very hard. That's why (and because some bankers didn't follow the rules) we had a crisis, just 6 years ago. A crisis that we've not recovered from yet completely.
But fiat currencies have evolved over centuries. In the beginning all currencies were gold and/or silver and/or brass coins. Why? Simple - metals were hard to obtain. Brass was the easiest to produce, silver was not so easy, gold was almost impossible to get.
That's why gold was the most expensive metal to make coins of. That's when the first banks appeared. What they did back then is simply protect your gold for 2% annual interest (paid to them). But due to the increased amount of transactions banks had problems such as thievery and logistic problems, thus years later central banks appeared, and decided that notes, backed by gold and silver will be issued, and the central bank of each country issued it's own notes, distributed within the boundries of it's country of origin.
Then in the end of 16-th century the london stock exchange was established and later the Rothschild brothers invented the cheque payment system.
It was based on real currency, that was in the bank. Then banks got in the game. The first investment banks appeared. They were making a lot of money, but it was not enough to cover all their investments. So banks started issuing bonds, obligations and bank guarantees.
In 1916, the Federal Reserve removed the silver standard of notes (silver notes became legal tender) and the reserve issued silver bonds, for each note printed. Then a lot of people started to get credit and the reserve issued bonds to the banks, giving the money to people.
In 1970 the gold standard was removed too. Credit system was very popular by then, bad credit began to rise.
That's why banks gave 10's of times more money that they own to people. There is the problem.

Bitcoin is the 3rd revolution I'm living through

1st revolution was Personal Computer's which are now tablets and smartphones to many (1980's-2000's)
2nd revolution was The Net the age of instant free info (1990's-2000's)
3rd revolution was Digital Cryptocurrency (2010's-)

I honestly believe most here will be telling our grand kids about a thing we used to have called money that evil governments printed at will to fuel stupid wars.

They will ask, "Gramps, how did you become so rich?"

You will say, "Because I SAW THE REVOLUTION COMING and put lots of worthless government notes into tech notes you call BITCOIN."

After you've been front lines in a couple of revolutions you start to see them coming.

BITCOIN is like the Internet and the personal computer. It is the NEXT revolution.

Bitcoin had four ten-fold growth bubbles:
  • $0.05 per bitcoin. The start.
  • $0.50 per bitcoin. First tenfold bubble
  • $5.00 per bitcoin. Next tenfold bubble
  • $50.00 per bitcoin. Next tenfold bubble
  • $500.00 per bitcoin. Our current bubble

Next bubbles:
  • $5,000 per bitcoin.
  • $50,000 per bitcoin.
  • $500,000 per bitcoin.

For $5,000 to happen you need ONLY 0.1% acceptance of world population for Bitcoin. We are at 0.01% now.

$50,000 is just 1% of Gross World Product by Bitcoin. This produces the $50,000 bubble.

$500,000 per Bitcoin is just 10% Gross World Product by Bitcoin.

Can Bitcoin hit 10% growth of population?

Credit cards did and they reject 90% of the world.

Bitcoin rejects no one.

So Bitcoin will go in trade where Visa/Mastercard refuse to go.

So way over 10% of Gross World Product can eventually be Bitcoin.

10% of Gross World Product is $8.5 trillion.

Divide 12M coins into $8.5 trillion

$500,000 Bitcoin baby.

The original poster of this was not me. Full credit goes to this guy "domainbrokers". I liked his post so much that I wanted to share it.

And all this is based on what? Your wishes? Get real. If bitcoin does not become centralized it has only theoretical value, because there is no real currency backing it up.
If it's centralized, everything is lost, and Bitcoin becomes worthless.

It has plenty of value, being backed means nothing. Fiat isn't backed, and it still has value.

What, should we peg the rate at $5,000,000,000 to one Bitcoin? Would that be enough of a backing for you?

You are going to have a really hard time centralizing Bitcoin, and it will not be pegged to something until that happens.

And the book the guy at the top of the page is talking about; he's a puppet, along with about 7 others. He's on drugs, and jerking his own ego to making Bitcoin "untrustable". Ignore him.

First of all "market capitalization" and "market" are different things.

Market capitalization is a fictional term. It's the value of all coins if sold at the same time and rate.

The daily bitcoin MARKET (coins that are actually traded) is rarely above 40,000 which is 1/500 of the coins. And yet it's enough to drive prices to 1200$/btc. Real market of cryptos is 0,2 - 2% of the market capitalization, so even if BITCOIN was 500000$ the current daily market would be 20 billion.

Same as on FOREX. The daily MARKET is 4 trillion, although world's economy is valued at 90. And yet ~5% of all the currency is enough to drive prices.

Difference - fiat currency has lots of backup. Obligations, gold options, gold stock, gold bars, gold coins, silver, silver stock, silver options, government issued bonds etc.

What backup does bitcoin have? None. If tomorrow people start selling price will go down to 0. Why? No backup. And electricity prices are not a real backup, because the electric companies couldn't care less if you mine bitcoins or not. They will not refund you if your BTCs lose value. That's for sure.

At least bank deposits are insured upto 100,000EUR in the EU.

Are bitcoins insured? No. They cannot be. No insurance company will ever insure bitcoins. For the aforementioned resons.

158  Economy / Goods / [WTS]Indoor Growing Equipment for BTC on: August 02, 2014, 02:50:06 PM
Hi, just wondering if anyone here might need used indoor equipment.

I have:
1) 4x x600W ETI HPS/MH ballasts - 0.05BTC/piece;
2) 3x grow lights - 1x Sonlight Agro; 2x Phillips SON-T PIA - 0.03BTC/piece;
3) 1x PureTent PT80 - 1.8 x 0.8m - 0.15BTC;
4) 1x PrimaKlima Cooltube - 40cm for 600W - 0.075BTC;
5) 1x Blauberg Turbo E-100 Fan - 0.085BTC;
6) 2x Inline 5" Fans - 0.005BTC/piece;
7) 1x 4" Fan - 0.002BTC;
Cool 1x 100mm Carbon Filter (Max somethin') - 0.03.

Everything is 4 months old. Used once for cherry tomatoes.

Price for all at once - 0.5BTC.

Weight of all - ~ 36kg. Each ballast is 6.5kg, the Blauberg is heavy too. Also - the cooltube.

Shipping - 0.15BTC (incl. Insurance!!!) - for all at once in Europe. Outside EU it would be to expensive, but it's more than 1000$ worth of equipment for ~ 300 bucks so if interested write here and we could deal.

Escrow is mandatory.

However either buyer can organize shipping, or we could meet if you live near me, or you must pay for shipping prior to it.

You have to check if everything is in tact when you receive the stuff. If it doesn't work I could collect the insurance. In that case shipping charges will be refunded in BTC.

I can send you actual pictures of the equipment with today's paper and my username along with any other verification that might be requested.

If anyone is interested - write here. No PMs.
