Ehh nothing to the people who like hookers but thats just asking for a life long gift that keeps on giving... no thanks lol.

"Girlfriend" aka as cheap vietnamese hooker. Love sex tourists.

I hope we have hit bottom.. I don't think my nerves could handle another bear run. I would  like to see us get above 400 and slowly creep upward. This bear session is for them, the bears, lol...

Yes, if someone hypothetically in Kenya had bought bitcoin at the top of the last bubble they would have lost money. It is volatile. Noone is suggesting it will immediately take over the role of fiat currency for working capital of the ultra poor. But it is likely to become a modern digital gold in the coming years, both trading as a commodity on the markets, accessible by ETF, but also useful as a transactional global currency by the poorest in africa.

Try and see the bigger picture if you dare.

I can almost hear the gears slowly creaking in your heads as you consider how you're going to respond to my arguments. That's why I love this place! Debating here is akin to a heavy weight boxing match between Mike Tyson and Pee Wee Herman.

It's so easy!

Ok, now that I'm done with that other dummy, it's time to circle back to this one.

M-Pesa is issued by a central agency and pegged to the national currency on a 1:1 basis. Biiiiig difference.

Kenyans can count on their money retaining its value. Bitcoin users can't, and if a poor soul living in Kenya had bought bitcoins this year rather than M-Pesa, he and his family may have starved to death!

Probability of you being of below average intelligence with a inflated sense of self worth just went through the roof.


Said every knob with a username like yours that's come through here in the past two years while I've witnessed multiple people realize thousand percent positive gains.


   Probability of my first statement just increased again!

I speak fluent Arabic as part of my business and my military background, but it's awesome that you know everything about me, just as you know what's best for the third world!

And if anyone is bitter here, it sounds like you. Have you ever left your country before? You don't exactly need to be filthy rich to travel extensively over a span of several years. But I guess *you're* the expert because you read a coindesk article 

I come here for amusement and to warn others about what they're getting in to. I have no doubt that others are reading these conversations and having doubts about the feasibility of an unregulated currency that dropped 70% this year, and nobody outside of this circle really has any interest.

That's what I do. And I can sleep soundly at night knowing that I've saved one more person from financial ruin.

It's not even about being offended. Essentially, if you disagree with OP then "you're gay". That really shows the maturity level and sophistication of bitcoin fanatics.

I wasn't an NGO or a Peace Corps Volunteer, I was living there for several months as part of my telecommunications business. I have also traveled extensively thanks to the wealth I've built through my lifetime. I built that wealth by avoiding mirages and flash in the pans like bitcoin. My travels have taken me to many countries in central asia, Africa, and the Middle East, where I've experienced the lifestyle of the locals.

Most of these people don't have appreciable savings, they live day by day and as I said, most of their wealth is tied up in their home or other illiquid assets. They're not dumb enough to put what little they have in an unregulated currency. If they had done it this year, scores would surely have starved to death!

It's easy for you to sit behind your computer in your plush college dorm room or wherever and tell everyone that bitcoin is the answer for the unbanked of the third world. What an ego. You think you know what's better for these people than they know themselves? If they have any money to spare, they'll buy euros or dollars, or put it in precious minerals. Not bitcoin.

I don't trade bitcoin. I bought some during the spring 2013 rally, and sold while we were above $600, thanks to the wise advice of fallling and his associates. And I didn't buy much for that matter, so I could really give a shit.

This place needs some objectivity to counter the unbridled, and baseless enthusiasm of the bulls.

I know right. These kids now a days let little shit get to them and are always looking to be a victim and offended by something.

Have you heard of mpesa?

Once a single country use Bitcoin as their Fiat.
We are going to the Mars   

Oh the irony.

I'm beginning to wonder if you're a troll whose strategy is to mock the bulls?

Have you lived in a third world country? I spent months in the horn of africa, and very few of those people have any appreciable savings, aside from their home and livestock (if they're fortunate). you think they're going to put it into a currency that loses 70% a year like bitcoin in 2014? 

Are you for real?

This may be the end goal, but we won't win it by preaching this idea cause it won't be possible for many years. BTC at the moment needs to solve and be good in solving smaller ideas and that way we will go further and further. This will be a process. We won't reach currency idea in one year.  

+1 made my day

Why we would need big dumps? We already had "medium" ones like 500 - 1500 coins today. There were not much big dumps lately, problem was they were smaller but very frequent.

So, are you calling the bottom, or just saying if we end today up,tomorrow will be up a few more bucks too?

I also think there is more rising to do before we get some nice fear going and big dumps.

LOL at Chuckee adding someone to HIS ignore list.
