bitcoin core is the best choice if you want to cold storage your coins.
                                                                                       

If your just needing to hide from others something such as a in the wall compartment might work nicely: http://www.amazon.com/Meridian-Point-Hidden-Wall-Outlet/dp/B0082CRN2Q/

It will not protect you from fire though.  So I suggest keeping copy of paper wallet in bank box.

i don't think so, bitcoin is not feeded by greece, big manipulator has seen the whole greece exit as the biggest opportunity to pump bitcoin and to catch some newbies fish in the net

now that everything is done they have stopped their trap

Hi,
I'm going to save some Bitcoins for the future. Which is the safest way to store them?
I was thinking about a wallet on a usb flash drive. Which wallet should I choose?

Thank you

This list is only for TOP 100 with "Total Received" not "Final Balance".

Meh, no interest in crap like that. The only bitcoins I ever got were a few back when you could mine profitably with GPUs, and a few more in exchange for services. Never bought any with real money and don't plan to. What I am interested in is if anyone serious still sees a future in bitcoin, and if so, what they're reasons might be. That's why I started this thread.

Go to another bank.

Well i am trying to combine these letters, is it China?
We know china is a big country but their affects is very high

*tinfoil hat on*

bitcoin and crypto represents a distinct threat to the global nwo police state corporate fascism military industrial complex whatever you want to call it. i think many of us here understand this on some level. btc and other crypto is basically money that (we think?) did not come from governments/banks and they cannot easily control or contain. perhaps most fundamentally we the powerless are not supposed to be able to evade and escape from governments/banks or even dare think to do so. the best that can be done is to expend resources financial, technical, media, political, legal to attempt to hold it back long enough that it can either be consumed and controlled by the state/bank power structures or that it is defeated on a technical level or that it implodes upon itself in financial terms ie extreme loss of value and major loss of users and merchants. if btc reaches (it probably hasn't yet) a critical mass of growth in adoption it could upend and decimate other stores of wealth specifically government backed fiat currencies. i could see a hypothetical global cryptographic backed democratic direct government of some sort being adopted, in concert with the rise of cryptocurrency and decimation of existing fiat wealth, and governments may fall, perhaps to be replaced by some type of resource management system governed by the will of all citizens of earth. whether this would instigate global war and force all countries to adopt dictatorial regimes, lead to complete anarchy and breakdown of society, or herald a new era of human freedom and global peace is the question.

or it could just be intentional manipulation/interference with the btc system by tech savvy whales for solely greed based reasons.

The thing is Monero is owned by people who do not really care to sell unless they want to play a little pinball game like me.  

Personally I am not interested in selling any coins in 1 digit and even two digits I will think carefully if I start implementing SSS. When Monero is traded in hundreds, I might make a SSS plan from there. Knowing my standard of living and willingness for fancy life, I think I will not need that many coins to sell. I could easily live happily in a farm in nowhere growing my own food.

Oh, we can have many groups of value. In fact, I would say that intrinsic and speculative would surely not be enough since, in my book, intrinsic value would be an empty set. Speculative is a subset of extrinsic value since one might value something not merely because one hopes to exchange it for increased value/price later.

Now, the intrinsic properties of gold might have subjective value in the common sphere. It is shiny, resists corrosion, easily malleable, heavy (dense), all that jazz. But all those are location, time and context dependent.

At this stage, I think we both see where the other is coming from so there's little point beating it to death and there are many better places to read about the arguments. Austrian economics just tends to reject the idea of intrinsic value.

They say up to 7 days, which is intentionally vague. I know SEPA is pretty much one business day, but not sure whether they sit on it before crediting the account.

ccmf ?

Aaaannnnndddd it's gone.

I think we jumped over $300 just because so many people wanted it.

We need to cross it with some more stability behind it like we are building now.

The pyramid structure is the only way something can be made valuable in general.
Therefore I am fascinated on pyramid schemes (not scams but honest pyramid schemes).
Pyramid structure means, there is a limited amount of assets and the value of the owner's slice increase when more people come in.
Let's consider gold bullion as an example: there is limited amount of gold in existence. When you have a "significiant slice" of world's gold supply (it is not that large since gold in existence is surprisingly scarce), you want others to buy also gold driving the purchasing power of your gold higher and thus you are climbimg in the pyramid to higher levels.
The same analogy applies to stocks, real estates, silver, pink diamonds, old cars, fiat money, you name it - anything valuable.
