called it. price is at .72usd and rising. I think the price of .90 by the end of the week is right on the money.

Also, they may well be sinister operators but the government isn't stupid. If they did this buyout today (or another more sophisticated attack on the network) they'd have to go all black-ops and that's complicated. They can't even keep their black-hood torture centers secret. If they start publicly attacking bitcoin in any serious way you're going to see the entire internet jump up for your defense, and if the government wants it speculators of all kinds will want it too.

bitcoin is completely anonymous. All they would have to do is download the bitcoin wallet, hop on Mt. Gox, and offer $1 dollar per bitcoin. Everyone would sell to them. The people that wouldnt would either hold on to the bitcoins so they aren't in circulation or trade them with people that then would sell them. And theres no way of telling if its the government buying them or some schmuck millionaire in utah.

Just saying, if you had bought bitcoins on Mt. Gox at 11 o-clock today and sold it now you would have made 10 cents per bitcoin. almost 20% gain for a 6 hour investment.

The price of bitcoins is already starting to head back up. If you're planning on buying bitcoins, now is the time to do it. I seriously doubt you will be able to get them this cheap for a long while.

More people are joining the network and the next difficulty will be around 82,000. That will make getting bitcoins more difficult and make each bitcoin worth more. Same supply, greater demand.

Maybe we can convince the people behind Minecraft that there would be some synergy if they accepted this new digital "mining" based currency.
Minecraft would be a great get. The current problem with bitcoin is 1. theres no merchants because its hard to integrate accepting bitcoins into ones website. I want to start a branch of my company that accepts bitcoins for my freshwater pearl jewelry but i cant think of a way to do it since mybitcoin.com doesnt take shipping info like paypal does. As soon as someone makes a bitcoin version of paypal that will change. and 2. bitcoin wallets aren't mobile enough. You can only spend bitcoins while sitting at your computer, not at the cash register at your local starbucks. a bitcoin mobile app for iphone and android could help that.

I'm not debating if drugs should be illegal or not. I think people should be able to ingest anything they want. Regardless of whether it should or shouldn't be illegal, it is illegal. The government you want to over throw could buy all 5 million bitcoins in existence without batting an eye, instantly destroying the network. Don't tempt them. If you want this to succeed you have to make it something the powerful people want a piece of, not something they want to crush.

If you want to decrease their influence on the currency, get legitimate businesses to accept Bitcoin now.

+1

Come what may, this is a panacea for Bitcoin.

(However, I think it's pretty obvious that rumours of Bitcoin's illegalization would cause its value to crash and - if the rumours turned out to be true - perhaps never recover.)

I agree but its hard to get legitimate businesses to accept bitcoins if when they check it out they see people selling illegal goods a services. All I'm saying is this is the forum where everyone comes to find out where bitcoins are accepted so if the moderators would simply delete posts where people are offering illegal goods, those services would be much harder to find, the moderators of this forum would be less likely to get in trouble, and the network as a whole would be more likely to thrive in the long run.

Lets be honest, were all waiting for bitcoin to get on the 10-o-clock news or oprah to find out about it. When that time comes we want to look like a well organized autonomous group that's fit for legal and fair commerce, not a dark black market. We want more people to see the bitcoin network to improve the value of our bitcoins. Drugs and money laundering are the kinds of things that should try to avoid attention.
332  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: selling drugs and money laundering: the potential downfall of bitcoin on: April 05, 2011, 02:49:40 AM
Yeah, we should totally ban them, this is illegal! Angry

Seriously, it has to start there. They need something like Bitcoin. If you want to decrease their influence on the currency, get legitimate businesses to accept Bitcoin now.

I am very fine with demand, no matter where it comes from. If Bitcoin catches on in this field, it will be a success.

Pecunia non olet.

Or better yet, don't use their services. If they don't make money they will go away.
333  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: selling drugs and money laundering: the potential downfall of bitcoin on: April 05, 2011, 02:47:23 AM
The difference is, you can't bitorrent goods and services like you can with bitcoin. If you could use bitorrent to dowload drugs, you could bet on the government taking a more active roll in shutting it down.
334  Economy / Trading Discussion / selling drugs and money laundering: the potential downfall of bitcoin on: April 05, 2011, 02:38:42 AM
Well its services like 'silk road', and the inevitable money laundering schemes that will eventually catch the eye of the powers that be and compel them to declare the bitcoin network illegal. If we don't moderate and police our own network it will all disappear in smoke, and the profits of everyone involved along with it. Blatantly illegal activity going on will make bitcoin go the way of napster.
