So what do all you boys think about the impact of 3D printing on small business going forward?

It ain't it until people/govs start dumping US treasuries.

All these technologies (Internet, Bitcoin, Google Glass, 3D printing) tend to have a strong decentralizing effect overall, so from that general rule of thumb we should prime facie expect to see small business benefiting versus big business. I see no reason why that wouldn't happen and can think of plenty of use cases where small businesses would get a leg up through 3D printing, so all in all it looks very positive for small business.

perhaps the thread should be renamed:
Gold collapsing, Bitcoin DOWN, Litecoin UP

yes, we know. you bought LTC ;|

hope you got good exit strategy

Actually don't own many litecoins.
I just see that the technical litecoin chart picture looks good and want to let people know.

[smoothie]

I still find it funny that people call LTC a scamcoin. What exactly is the "scam"?

Since litecoin is so similar to Bitcoin, by that logic then Bitcoin is a bigger scam right?

No?

lol so much failed logic on this forum.

Perhaps the "scam" is that if you bought it at $0.05 in January and it is now (5 months later) at $2.70. Making profit/money is a "scam". he he he he. If that is true. Please I want to be scammed some more!

This continuous spamming about LTC by you is both annoying and disappointing.

My guess is the S3052 is only reporting on Litecoin prices because the surveys from his user-base indicated that they want to hear more about it.

dont talk about LTC it take away suckers from BTC

I'm just trying to think of a better way for the users of this technology to be responsible for the social costs of increased plastics manufacturing for the relatively lower (and increasingly lower, I imagine) private costs. Will waiting to the point where the two lines start to converge, where it's cheaper to recycle plastics than it is to use raw materials, be too late for our environment?

edit; I suppose I have to consider the factor of people printing out replacement parts that otherwise could not be replaced because of the costs of maintaining inventory/supply lines and having to replace entire products as a result.

Good for small business. Bad for the big boys.

Decentralization of production. Also individualization of products. It could be a huge change.

Good. I'm always suspecting newsletter writers to frontrun their readership. I apologize if it doesn't apply.

a culture of repairing things and hacking... ain't that wonderful?

@molecular it is not that simple the 3D printer and manufacturing industry is highly consolidated

@ ALL
I have been running a 3D printing business for 10 years www.key3d.com.
Let's keep to Gold and Bitcoin. Reading this BS is like reading noob posts on how Bitcoin will impact the economy.

If you are interested in the impact of industrialization 3D printing and how it fits into the economy going forward let's grab a coffee.

capital has to centralize before production can decentralize it again

It remains a fairly strong hypothesis in my mind that Satoshi (singular or plural) had personal enrichment as a primary goal in developing the solution.  This could explain some of the very misleading 'marketing' that characterizes Bitcoin's early existence vis-a-vis 'scaling', 'peer2peer', 'transaction costs', 'anonymity', etc.  And we are still in the early days.

Whether the truth of the hypothesis would, in and of itself, make Bitcoin a 'scam' is open to debate, but it does seems very likely that Bitcoin achieved such a result.

No?

Indeed.  "Please don't throw me in dat der brier patch Brer' Bear!"

Silver $18 and change, gold $1233.

Bitcoin $104.

Central banks (incl Russia and Turkey) still buying massive amounts of physical gold.

LOL.

...

Of course it's not a "scam", but its benefits are often overstated. I'm all for alt-coin experimentation; just wish there were actually more real experimentation (NMC and maybe PPC are the only ones with real differences). Litecoin's quicker confirms are a moot point, for one thing...there are almost zero applications where an avg confirm of 2.5mins is acceptable where 10mins is not. I still can't buy a cup a coffee. And it doesn't matter that scrypt is asic-resistant. That's not synonymous with "asic-proof"; if ltc ever got valuable enough, asics for it would arise. It's not going to achieve better decentralization because of scrypt.

To me, litecoin is not innovative, and I therefore find it annoying that it's achieved the success it has. I do see some value in that it's a "backup" network to an extent (but, if bitcoin were successfully attacked, most likely the same attackers could hit litecoin too), and there's value in being able to move coins in and out of both chains with some liquidity. But those are 2nd order concerns. Again, I'd like to see more real alt experimentation.


tl;dr - it's not a scam, but it's also not innovative and doesn't offer anything that bitcoin doesn't.
