How much bitcoin was cheated off you before? BTC Scammability Index

[empoweoqwj]

While there been deals I regretted (spending BTC on random crap before it rose in value), in my case it's.. never!

Haha what crap did you buy? This is one of my main fears of spending BTC right now. I've already made nearly 1000% profit on my BTC, so I'd still getting a ridiculously good deal for my coins, but I don't want to order a pizza and a few months later have ended up essentially paying a stupid amount for it.

or it could go down and you will have the cheapest pizza ever.

2 sides to every pizza

I don't think we see another crazy BTC rally anytime soon and we're entering another stable but boring price period after the months past fluctations, so I'd think right now is actually a safe moment to spend (and buy) BTC.

It has been fairly stable and hasn't been as wild as it was, but it's still fluctuating quite a bit. I reckon the price is going to gradually rise with more and more merchant adoption and mainstream acceptance, and I think all it will take is one major company to announce that it may start accepting them and that'll skyrocket the value. 2014 is gonna be interesting for sure.

Haha, that is true, but I'll still be up unless it crashes down to October prices, but yes, two sides to every pizza  .

Bah, I don't have lots of BTC, but I bought a couple of pizzas for my family the other night... it was the first tangible thing I've bought with BTC, and it tasted GOOD

I also would feel slightly uncomfortable shouting to everyone about how great BTC is if I'd never actually used it to buy something.

But I'm hoarding the rest, of course.

My BTCT shares were transfered to Havelock.. Did they keep everyone's BTC?

Nope. I owned shares of BTCT-PT and Litecoinglobal (i.e the shares of the exchanges themselves). These shares were not transferred to anywhere.

I'd like to spend some, I just daren't. At least there's plenty of other people spending, but yes.

There's a takeaway website http://www.takeaway.com/ that delivers many different takeaways to your door (in the UK) which accepts Bitcoin, and I like the idea of getting essentially free food. I'll probably spend some of the money I get from my PrimeDice sig though, just to give it a little test and to say I've actually bought something with it, because I do believe in it as a currency and want more people to start adopting it, so lead by example. But yeah, I'm hoarding the rest .

Everyone that followed the instructions had their AM PT shares transferred without issue to Havelock.

Re: BTCT-PT and Litecoinglobal I have no idea.

In my case it was TF2 items. In retroaspect though, I was using BTC I just bought with fiat currency to buy said items, and I was getting a really good deal at the time. I bought up BTC later to make up for it (BTC that I told myself to not spend until the next reward halving), and said loss is becoming more and more of a distant memory. Certainly not as bad as the 10K BTC pizza at least.

I don't think we see another crazy BTC rally anytime soon and we're entering another stable but boring price period after the months past fluctations, so I'd think right now is actually a safe moment to spend (and buy) BTC.

Oh man, for a couple months while BTC went down from 150 to 66 I bought every single Humble Bundle that came out. I thought I was the shit.

Now I have +150 steam games of which I have probably played about 20.

/facepalm

Re: BTCT-PT and Litecoinglobal I have no idea.

Sadly, I didn't had any AM-PT shares. All I had were BTCT-PT and Litecoinglobal shares. Both of them were liquidated. I got 0.025 BTC compensation for every BTCT-PT share. I had bought them for 1.1 BTC. That is a loss of 98%.

Yeah, I used the Dutch version, ThuisBezorgd.nl -- got our family 2 delicious pizzas back when the exchange rate was still around the $1k mark

The only other thing I've bought so far has been a couple of domain names with Namecheap.
