I never spent much time there (if any.) I used to read the usagold forum pretty regularly until it shut down, but I never really participated. In other news, I might be interested in trading somewhere in the 100 to 200 large USD's worth of BTC straight across for gold and/or silver sometime in January next year if nothing much changes. If I do so, it will be in a way which protects my ass 100% and is totally legal. Anyone who is interested is welcome to ping me to discuss the possibilities. I'm not interested in a whole lot of smaller deals because this promises to be a hassle. I'm only interested if the fees that I (and the other party) save make it worthwhile.

sig spam anywhere and self-moderated threads on the pol&soc board are for losers.

yeah, the old kitco board was a hoot, anyone remember GotGoldies, oh man, lots of luls
finally a bunch of us tired of it and ran off to a private silver board, had good times there too

This is not some pseudoeconomic post-modern Libertarian cult, it's an un-led, crowd-sourced mega startup organized around mutual self-interest where problems, whether of the theoretical or purely practical variety, are treated as temporary and, ultimately, solvable. Censorship of e-gold was easy. Censorship of Bitcoin will be… entertaining.

Would you mind if I asked your age? i'm 30. im bit of an odd duck i know. i bought my first gold coin and stock at the age of 10. it was a 1/4th eagle and some k-mart stock. did well at both. iv not bought stock at all sine age 18 or so, figured out quick that was a pile of fail. Ah you're not that much older than me as I thought. I was beginning to doubt that when you started talking about a forum someone said was active in the 90s Why do you disregard owning any form of equity in all companies in the world? What's wrong with owning a undervalued company with a nice solid FCF yield? Disclosure: I never owned PMs (not even in jewelry)

So many handles forgotten. I do remember we had a meet in London, people came from all over, Europe, even New Zealand. Folk handing out coins, drinking in the old Bank of England vaults. I think most sold out long before Squillionaire Acres, lots sold after the world didn't end on 1st Jan 2000. Some of the guys that were greybeards then must be past caring...

i dont trust the govt.
Me neither. Before Bitcoin I had no way of acting on that however and I had no choice. Now I'm pretty well hedged with my Bitcoin holdings. Then again, pretty soon I'm going to have to report my assets to the IRS. Paying tax isn't nice but okay. The worst part is that they know what I have. What if they pull on me what the US pulled on Gold owners in 1933? Maybe just cash out a small portion and tell them it's all you have?

Such a disaster losing all my bitcoin in that boating accident...oh wait, that's not going to work this time.

We reached LTC:Silver ozt parity before BTC:gold.
LTC trading for $21.38 on BTC-e and silver $19.97.
Embarrasing for BTC!

Are you bloody kidding me? Ugh. Be careful what you wish for, people. More than one very successful (from a market-cap perspective) crypto will ultimately devalue them all, if there are no material technical distinctions. I get in twitter fights with gold-bugs and their ilk all the time, and the best leg they have to stand on (and my only lingering long-term hesitation about bitcoin, for that matter) is the alt-coin argument. I have to lean on "network effects" and "first-mover advantage" arguments to defend bitcoin's market-cap and longevity in this light, and strong non-distinct alts will break that argument. That said, bitcoin has risen almost 10x recently, and litecoin is catching up to keep its old multiple (~1/40), so that's fine, but much more, and we start to have empirical issues that invalidate important theory.

There are "material technical distinctions" between LTC and BTC.

They're trying to buy all the coins. We must not let them.

People believe in the 'strongest' network, it's as simple as that, saw FTC? One 51% attack and it's pretty much finished. About LTC, it's good to see it alive and kicking, as it gives people plausible excuse to send their BTCs into a mixing wallet and the legislators nightmare trying to regulate it.
