all this means is you weren't paying attention.
And all that means is that you like to blame victims.

at what point do you wish to take responsibility for your own actions?

Live and learn, 99.9999% of us weren't brought up in the Bitcoin environment, and have to make mistakes, it isn't fun, but I prefer it, i am 100% in control, and not spending is a viable option.

It might be insightful to figure out a percentage of people who have had bitcoin scammed/stolen from them.  I imagine it is higher percentage than gold, even when you include people that have lost their wedding ring accidentally, but I don't know.  Just a guess.

We can do a straw poll here since it is a thread probably made of folks with an interest in both or owning both.
Then you might as well include all the scams and theft of US dollars and other currency.  Heck might as well include all credit card fraud.  That's still scammed/stolen isn't it?

my entry into Bitcoin was 1/3 trading, 1/3 mining, and 1/3 Bitcoin investments.

Trading, = I should have just bought and held
Mining = wow, all the money I printed is safe.
Investments = Stolen / scam or very bad performance. (despite Pirate 40 and similar ponzi's been obvious to avoid. )

Blame the victim, but Bitcoin has been a haven for scams, I'll guess even another 30% of legitimate businesses will lose entrusted Bitcoin's and blame it on a hack or something.

Theft and counterfeiting are completely different.

Are you suggesting its easier to steal BTC than gold?

The difference between theft and counterfeiting is a matter for the lawyers.
Both are easy/hard to steal depending on security.
A lot of both is stolen, defrauded, scammed, whatever you like to call it.
Personally? I have had more BTC stolen than gold stolen (I had a bitcoin plus interest with coinlenders and some dust in inputs.io, no one has stolen any of my gold.) I have had physical gold a lot longer (many years) than I have had bitcoins.

all this means is you weren't paying attention.

Gold collapsing.  Bitcoin UP.

Nice to have a constant in an ever-changing world!

In daily chart this does not even hold..  Roll Eyes

Gold collapsing, Bitcoin exploding ?

I like Gold down, Bitcoin exploding. Gold has not collapsed, it corrected, BTC on the other hand is 1/3 of the way to the moon.

Wow, the moon must have gotten quite a bit closer then Smiley

Gold collapsing.  Bitcoin UP.

know any place i can get a 100 kilo gold bar for btc?  i want a really lulz paper weight.

That would cost you 7.5k BTC at spot. So what? 8.5k BTC for the bar?(or over $5M)

I don't even know 100% sure whether you're serious Tongue

no i'm not. that is waaaay too heavy for a paper weight!


Yeah, I was gonna say... 202lb paper-weight. Sheesh. It'd have nice conductivity for a paper-weight, though!
