Oh i wanna play. I think you should go on a crusade against wire transfers and how they should be replaced by credit cards. Next time you're buying a car/house etc... ask if they'll take your VISA. Or are you in US and still write those silly cheques?
I'm in the States. When I buy a car, I pay by check (we spell it c h e c k here, sans flowery que *lifts pinky* Britishisms), or use cash, like any normal human being. Zero wait/zero problems. But you, you actually wire money when buying a car? Anything else you do? Weird ceremonial dances with blood sacrifices? Just to complicate things a bit more? Though I'm not sure why we're discussing this, you can't buy a car or a house with bitcoins around here. I mean, maybe there is some hipster willing to sell one somewhere in US, it's a huge country, but normally? Lol, I'd have better luck trying to buy a car with BTCeanies  Re. "How many 0's is that???": Fewer than the Bitcoin blunder. And remember, friend: Fiat has been around for centuries, with BILLIONS of people using it, and that's the worst you came up with. Bitcoin has been around for 7 years, and a good chunk of it has already been lost due to hilarious fuckups Cute how you totally left the house part and just concentrated on a car. You need guaranteed funds to buy a car or back up your silly checks (that take up to 5days to settle) with your credit history. Try going to your used car dealership, or a Ferrari dealership with your silly check book and driving out with a car without giving them your social security#, cash probably will still fly more likely under $10,000, anything after that might get IRS and other 3 letter agencies involved. For a house closing agents won't accept cash, and most won't even take guaranteed checks on the settlement date. Wire is THE only way. I stand by my Beanies comparison, the Beanies point is sound. The number of US realtors accepting BTC as a form of payment is roughly the same as for those accepting Beanies, which is to say zero. I know of exactly one house that was sold for BTC, was posted on this forum. Visionary OP doesn't post anymore, because BTC was ~$650 at the time. Yeah, he still had to pay taxes. Yeah, the legal bullshit of transferring property title was likely lengthier/more involved than with conventional means of payment. Yeah, OP jumped through a lot of hoops to wind up as the brokeass laughing stock he is today. Otherwise, seamless :8 @Fatman3001: Obsolete, olde timey English. An anachronism, much like legacy finance P.S. But if you think that people will start using your bit-tokens as money because they could save a few minutes the one or two times in their lives they buy a house, don't let me spoil your morphia dreams. It's amusing that the best of your trolling is used to compare bitcoin to credit cards, yet there's literally not a single person on here who claims that bitcoin (in itself and in it's current form) can replace credit cards. Oh well carry on |

And your bellow average reader might actually think your BS might make sense for a nano second before his/her logic kicks in or they read the replies  |

What does someone accidentally sending a $100,00 transaction fee have to do with anything? It's the same thing as someone accidentally typing an extra zero or two and buying up the entire wall in stocks/commodities.
Taking into account that math ain't your strong suit (you're more of a scurrier sort of a guy, best described by Wikipedos as, and I quote: "a competitor of humanity"), I'ma gonna give you a hand. Lemme give you a little helping hand... The difference between $.05 and $136,000.00, friend cockroach, is not "an extra zero or two." Or three. Or even four. If God, in all of His wisdom, erred as much as that hapless bitcoiner, you would weigh as much as an average African elephant, cockroach  Could you imagine?! Of course you couldn't, your brain is little more than angry ganglia, you rely on it so little that it's nearly pointless: you can stay alive for a month without it, shit you not. And that's weight, cockroach. Real life elephants are much denser (and less repulsive) than icky Blattodea, so you'd be one humongous motherfucking monstrosity, you crawly abomination! Now where was I? Failure to understand how to use a keyboard is not a Bitcoin issue.
Lol sure, user error. As i said before, Bitcoin's like a fleshlight that turns into a meat grinder if you don't program it just right. SFYL & ouch ouch ouch ouch! A Japanese branch of Swiss bank UBS mistakenly ordered 30 trillion yen of bonds from Capcm instead of the intended 30 million yen. According to a report by BBC, the trader mistakenly sold 610,000 shares in recruiter J-Com for 1 yen, rather than selling one share for 610,000 yen...The mistake cost Mizuho Securities at least 27 billion yen ($282 million). How many 0's is that??? |

-Currently, bitcoin WIRE TRANSFERS can handle a sustained rate of roughly 3 transaction per second, the average transaction volume generated by one mid-sized US shopping mall. *Amazing*
-A few days ago EVERY DAY, someone paid $136,000 millions to send $0.05 billions to Nigerian prince and other scams. *Ahahahamazing* (SFYL)
-An average bitcoin BANK user is functionally illiterate. Sad, yet *AMAZING*
...
Or we can continue comparing bitcoin to credit card, toasters, and TVs  |

I'm calling a bottom (famous last words  )So was it just whales at play on a mini-pump? (ie the whales tipped their hand and moved too soon and too fast on their tango of the rest of us in the dust)  Must be nice to play with BTC price like it is your personal 'angry birds' game Bid sides are looking healthier at these levels. No flash crashes. Longs are huge but it wont be cheap to shake them and there are BTC10k till $420 on finex ready to catch them. Getting close to halfing, too much uncertainty so i'm speculating that sides are more likely to dig in then start dumping too much. We raised on little volume and thin bid side so were due for a smack down. But as i write this BTC400 ask wall comes up on stamp and there're BTC1k to $444 on finex |

Well $1.5MM was shacken from longs but still over $29MM to go. Bunch of shorts covered too so not many of those to burn so dunno. On another hand no flash crashes on Finex is always a plus

Damn it was off on the poll by one day! Can we get a new poll now? We need a new target |
|
|
|
one moon pic on the previous page and one rocket on this page.
IT's STILL GOOD
buy Buy BUY!
We agreed on a moratorium banning CCMFs, moons, rockets etc... until after (yet another) $1k party, then it's game on |
|
|
|
Should the low volume be concerning?  .. for the shorts who are running out of bitcoin supplies? There are plenty of BTC available to shorters, so they're far from running out of bitcoin supplies. Might be running of funds to cover those shorts though |
|
|
|
I checked ">450" on the poll so dont make a lier out of me!!  |
|
|
|
Not many coins showing on Finex after $440 |

Segwit pull request in main repository - https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/7910April ETA Deadline Met!
I expect Segwit to remove from segnet testnet to the bitcoin testnet this month and enter mainnet early may for activation in June/July depending upon the miners hitting 95% Yes yes, lets time it to the halfing Can see the headlines rolling with something like "BTC block limit solved while BTC is about to get more scares as supply halves" |
|
|
|
|
BAM i guess Finex wants to go up
|

Just to confirm we're all ignoring this count down and no one to ask what it's about right? |
