Debate on issues. Leave personal attack out.

I think that one should be ready for personal attacks, if one visits an religious forum and challenges it's dogmas.
I agree that debating the issues is the rational thing to do, but rationality isn't held in high regard among the religious. Devotion to 'The One Truth' is the measure that is used when judging people.

People think, that religion has to include a narrative about omnipotent deities who created the world. Religion has diversified a lot in the modern age..

The one truth of mathematics?
There are no "issues". There are facts and non-facts.

If you had 1 original idea I would discuss it with you. Doers tend to be less religious. I'm a doer.

It's not dislike. Its more that I call you what you are so others (newbies) won't take you seriously.

I think you are just an attention whore basically. And I think you are bitter regarding your place in life. But I don't have malice towards you in my heart.

Do you think that it's working? I mean you calling me what I am, so newbies wouldn't take me seriously.

Absolutely. No doubt. They can read my post history and then yours and the rest, as they say, will be self evident.

If you insist..

I do.  Cheesy Wink

All of this reminds me of an great movie.





Yeah, that's pretty much you - except he didn't think he was smart - he knew he was an idiot.

You, on the other hand, are a pompous, fairly unintelligent, and monetarily poor individual who thinks you can actually share important info with people although you have none.

You are what is called unconsciously incompetent - you are unaware of how ignorant you really are.  Cheesy Grin Wink

You don't seem to like me very much.

No.  Just use the word 'tulips', and try to marginalize it like that, instead.


'Tulips' and bitcoin do have their similarities. The major one being the artificial scarcity. And I'm not only talking about the millions of bitcoins that are just sitting there, owned by anonymous holders. I'm talking about the technology and the idea, that bitcoin is based on, and how these things are important. And there is no artificial scarcity with the idea and the technology. Bitcoin and it's unit, is just a fragile brand, without much practical application. It's scarcity is a temporal bubble, caused by the introduction of new financial technologies.


Really?

If what you're saying is true, then why exactly did Tim Draper just drop 18+ million on an asset that he plans to use in development of for said asset building infrastructure through liquidity?

Considering that I respect Tim Draper as an investor, I would guess that he either knowingly purchased 18+ million worth of casino chips, or he somehow needs those coins for specific publicity reasons. If I had to guess again, then I would say, that he probably wants to open his own payment service, what gets it's initial publicity because of it's ties with bitcoin. The beauty of building support services around BTC, is that your business won't depend on the success of BTC. You can quickly adopt new and better cryptocurrencies and continue business as usual when bitcoin becomes obsolete.
Making money with the crypto scene like that, isn't as easy as just opening an account at bitstamp and buying coins, but you sure have more control over your chances of success.

You are a certified fucking idiot.

Don't waste your time talking to idiots, your time is more valuable.

I remember seeing some online news a couple of months ago, stating that Newegg we're going to trial the UK as a potential market. The news had nothing to do with Bitcoin, but I looked forward to having a new competitor to Scan and ebuyer over here.

It seems that you can get prices in UK sterling but the site looks like it's booking through the US portal, with (rather expensive) UK delivery appended as an option to your order. The mobile site, in particular, is still very US centric.

Is this the best they could do?

In other news...   Newegg accepts USD via Bitpay (who is converting bitcoin to USD)

well its still an early phase, why would you want to keep bitcoins when you have to pay your bills and liabilities in usd?
you can configurate in your bitpay merchant acc, if you convert 100% to usd or if you keep some percent in btc. i guess most keep some btc.
imo bitpay is the way to go for merchants atm, great service for the current phase.

second step would be wholesale merchants to accept btc with bitpay. then the retail industry can keep higher percentages in btc to buy new stuff directly with btc. after that the next step is manufacturers to accept btc so the wholesale merchants can keep higher percentages in btc. to close the circle resources and employees have to be paid in btc. it's a long way to go but it has started.
imo thats the progress we need and the picture i have in mind, when brainstorming about how btc has to develop over the next decade.

Especially since a company like NewEgg is probably buying a ton of stuff from China.  If they could pay in bitcoins, they could save all those fees.

Great news from NewEgg
i never use them before
do they ship outside US? i only see UK and US options there

Oh no, they are too good to sell shit to non-usa citizens (what the fuck is that word "americans" everybody uses?? Are you talking about people from Argentina or Mexico or Chile or Peru??).

Argentinians come from Argentina
Mexicans come from Mexico
Chileans come from Chile
Peruvians come from Peru
Americans come from America
Spartans come from Sparta
