This threads inspires the need to hold, if you're saying like I'll not be here in a year or something. Or maybe I am paranoid  Cheesy

Haha, If only I had even known about bitcoin back then.
Had you known about Bitcoin back then, you would have thought (like everyone else) that it wasn't worth bidding $50 for smoketoomuch's 10000 BTC.

In 2012, people have exactly the same opportunity as they had back then. If they have $100 to invest, they can buy $100 worth of Bitcoins if they think Bitcoin's value will increase in the future. If the price goes up 500%, the 2012 investor makes exactly the same on their $100 investment as the previous investors would have made if the price went up by the same amount. The number of coins involved is irrelevant - the only thing that counts is the % increase in value.

Auction is over.
Since nobody has made the starting bid, the bitcoins do not change their owner.

$50 is somewhat of a high starting bid considering there is over ฿22,000 available for not much more per bitcoin than your starting bid. Not to mention that realistically there's probably a lot more than ฿22,000 available because if somebody bought a bunch of those bitcoins, I'm sure some people would step forward to sell more bitcoins. Anyway, I'll bite for sake of the experiment. I bid $25. How about you change the minimum bid to $30 and tell us a maximum time between bids. Perhaps three days?

You're right but most of you live outside Germany or even outside the EU so the money transfer via mail is expensive and takes much much longer than a paypal tranfser. Additonally I don't think that there is actually a need of being anonymous at this auction.
Everything is pseudonymous here and so is paypal (in a certain manner).


But I see the problem in a lack of interest in receiving BTC, not in how the people have to pay them.

Maybe I will start an "opposite auction" (aution USD/EURO off and people can bid BTC) next week, we'll see.

Paypal isn't anonym -so there are many people, who don't like to use paypal. You could receive the money by mail and poste restante.  Smiley
I assume that you live in Germany:

I know this is well below your starting bid, but since no one has taken it yet I'll offer $20.

OLD THREAD IS OLD!

Hi,

I want to make a little experiment here:

I want to auction 10,000 BTC off, starting bid is 50 USD.
(10k BTC are currently worth ~65.50 USD)

The auction will run for seven days.
It will finish @ 6th April 3.00am German Time (usually UTC +1h, +2h at the moment).
(for the correct time look here: http://www.weltzeituhr.com/laender/039_e.shtml

To make a bid you have to post in this thread here and say how much you bid.
Only condition: every bid has to be at least 1 USD higher than the previous one.

After the auction is over, I will pm the highest bidder and will send him 5000 BTC, then I will wait until the bidder has transfered his money to my paypal account and will then send the other 5000 BTC. This is necessary to protect me from false/joke bidders.



Enough said,

Good luck Cheesy
