The forum strives to allow free discussion of any ideas. All policies are built around this principle. This doesn't mean you can post garbage, though: posts should actually contain ideas, and these ideas should be argued reasonably.

I'm still up over 500%. |
"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

The market is mature enough to short. How much of your savings did you use to short bitcoin? If none, then next time put your money where your mouth is. Life savings into bitcoin is unwise, but I do have my mind and heart invested fully to make it succeed. |

i thought Bitcoin was bad b/c its a deflationary currency, rising in value with time, thus encouraging hoarding?
now Bitcoin is bad b/c its an inflationary currency, dropping in value with time, thus encouraging selling?

The difference between a troll and a non-troll is hard to tell until the troll is proven right.  I just choose the path of less risk and hold things with value - less money is made, but less is lost. I did lose $15 on bitcoin though, granted. |

Bitcoin is about regaining a degree of freedom that has been taken away from the people legally but illegitimately. |

95%+ of bitcoins are held by speculators. You guys should go buy gold with the rest of your money so that you can lose another 90% of your value over the next three years.
How does it feel getting slowly wiped out guys? Good? I wouldn't know.

Fun? Informative? Exciting?
How does it feel being so poor you can't even throw away a few grand on crazy ideas without worrying about loosing money, just for the heck of it? Bad? I wouldn't know.
Trying investing in Solidcoin, and you'll have a pretty good idea. |

I don't know whether you'll be proven right or wrong, but it's surely absurd to be making calls one way or another right now. Or a year from now. Or five years from now. In about 10 years, I'll call it a fair time period over which to make the assessment. |
Bitcoin is the first monetary system to credibly offer perfect information to all economic participants.

I'm still feeling quite good, thanks for asking. Yay Bitcoin!  If you want to see me in a less positive mood, wait for another >50% down. But unless Bitcoin really looks in danger of dying, I'm not so much shaken. Bubbles don't have soft landings, doesn't everyone know that? Relax 'n watch the touchdown. Picking a better topic text would improve the thread btw. |
