+1 Yes, very good indeed!!!

Sigh....We have not seen over 0.007 since 16th November last year.....

I wonder when we will finally break free and attain our true value

Haha

coins101, you are now on the list. If BTS reaches $24 billion market cap, I'll send you 18 BTC. Write it down (hopefully BTC isn't worth $50,000 at that point, otherwise we'll have to use a some prorated system).

I really like this guy's style.  He would make a great teacher, maybe he is a teacher?  Unfortunately, he has rose colored glasses in my opinion.   But that's ok, the problem comes when he says "if you don't have anything to hide" as if privacy is only needed if you have something nefarious to hide. 

Camosoul put it best when he said that Privacy is the natural state of things."  Even people who put out TMI on facebook withhold what they perceive as private.  We all wear masks.  I don't agree with his original assessment that George Orwell was wrong, that people, it turns out, don't want privacy.  Just because people put out TMI on facebook, doesn't mean they aren't holding back what they think is in fact private.  People are in control of what they put out on facebook, they choose what the world sees.  Or they choose not to use facebook at all.  I personally find it very upsetting when family post pictures on facebook and then mark me on the picture with my name and everything.  That's a rude invasion of privacy in my book, but they always do it. 

But the day we can get the US government to implement a transparent crypto currency.... well, it is just not going to happen any time soon.  Not without a real revolution, the kind with guns and lots of blood.  We're in for a major fight here.  Still he is expanding people's ideas of what might be possible and certainly the threat might make governments behave a little better??  Who knows?  LOL.  It's still a very simplistic view of the world that he is offering up

I was listening the Daily Dose of DRK http://drkmedium.com/dailydose/01-19-2015/

Thanks for sharing the news on ISG 3D Printing accepting DRK Darkcoin! (0:45)

Can you lend me 18 BTC? Got to buy some cat and dog food, lets face it you can afford it now.

Hehe. This made me curious, so I went and actually looked. I really have 44,775, which equates to 2,018 BTC. .

Also, happy 1 year, DRK.

Oops !

Precision attack. Just as well I wasn't trading 

Dang, when did BTS become worth >$24 billion? With only 2.5 billion total supply, that means each coin is now worth > $9.60. I guess I'm doing better than I thought; I have 25,000 or something. That's like 1,125 BTC. Nice!

I like to have fun sometimes...

I disagree....

Bitcoin 101 - A Free Market for Transparency (The Bitcoin Revolution)

Anonymity is great. And Bitcoin Darkcoin provides anonymous payments better than anything we've seen online. But what few realize is that Bitcoin also does transparency, and it does transparency better than anything we've ever seen in human history. This transparency is the focus of this first video looking at bitcoin as a revolution. Because bitcoin is the first ever tool (in human history) that can provide provable transparency, we could finally see transparency explode via the free market (competitive edges given to those who disclose). This one simple change seems innocuous but it could have major repercussions.

Intro:

When people talk about bitcoin, they talk about a revolution. The trouble is, many people can't even figure out what the revolution is. Is it really a revolution to have lower fees on credit cards and remittances? While these are big changes, they are hardly revolutionary. This series begins to look at the bigger picture, the jaw dropping changes that bitcoin could provide. And no future may be stranger or more earth shattering than the inherent capabilities of bitcoin to provide a free market for transparency. And this isn't transparency like we are used to, this is the possibility of absolute financial transparency. Not only would it eliminate the need for the IRS, but it stands to erase corruption and improve government. Amazing stuff. Hope you enjoy.

Oh dear.  I feel bad for those defrauded   ... again.  Could so easily have been me if I had money.  Good thing I'm broke, LOL.  Can't go down from here

I get the gist of it   Thanks Toknormal


If he's as good as you all say, then this quote worries me:

"I find it hard to believe that government will allow private currency in any fashion. They lose taxes and profit. Seigniorage has always been the privilege of the lord since 600BC. I remain skeptical about government accepting private currencies based solely upon history. Governments will turn against them most likely after 2015.75 when they become really desperate for cash."

it sounds like governments will be able to stop it, I don't think they can though.  I wonder what he really thinks is going to actually happen when the governments turn against cryptos?

Wow...I hadn't seen that one. That looks pretty heavy. Is that the reason for the dump ?

At least one person is sharing my excitement
Too bad Martin did not actually endorse DRK...

Otoh's going to have to take Wall-E for a stroll uptown if he would like some action...

Sorry for my ignorance, you've peeked my curiosity.  What is paycoin, why does it have such a large market cap?  I'm always blissfully unaware of everything going on, LOL.

********* Amber Alert************

Renewed Paycoin dumpfest in progress. It's been building for a few hours.

For informed commentary, lets see what Terzo2 has to say about this type of stuff:


UPDATE: It's dumping so fast I need to update my graphic.

Their parachute still hasn't opened.....paycoin buywalls getting blitzed. If that 0.01 floor breaks it will be a scramble for the exits.

.......and it's gone. It's lost a decimal place - lets get an update from Terzo:


Chutes deployed, it's bouncing...how far will it go before the next round of panicked souls queue up to massacre it ?

Even at the top of the bounce I calculate the revised marketcap at around $24 Billion which means it's dropped a place below Bitshares. Also confidence will take a hit - the $20 price needs a 1000% gain from here.

Been good DRK chat in the trollbox today on Cryptsy, some people shocked at all the work that has gone on with DRK, If you are on Cryptsy probably worth just dropping in some DRK info into the troll box while you pass through...
