@Cconvert2G36, just another "bitcoin is dead" going on since a few years ago. What's with the tiny "theyre gonna get us!" message? Bitcoin will never die, I think cryptocurrencies are as good as currency. They're already doing better than some. And to update, yeah, I did repay the $2 loan with interest. I plan on making a few other ones.

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"
Saw an article this morning.  http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/the-blackmail-of-ashley-madison-users-has-already-begun/ar-BBlXLTH?li=AA54ur I guess a extortionist group called "Team GrayFlay" is already threatening to blackmail Ashley Madison users in the hack and they want payment only in Bitcoin.  From the article
Quote
Unfortunately your data was leaked in the recent hacking of Ashley Madison and I now have your information. If you would like to prevent me from finding and sharing this information with your significant other send exactly 2.00000054 bitcoins (approx. value $450 USD) to the following address…
Quote
If Team GrayFlay (or any other blackmailer, for that matter) emailed all 32 million account holders, and just 0.01% of them agreed to pay up the $450 (£288) ransom, it would still earn them $1.4 million dollars (£0.9 million).

So I guess this is bullish news?  Not sure how I feel about making a profit on the heels of extortion though.   Undecided

Nobody will pay that if they have half a brain.

Betting that everyone in a pool of 32 million has >1/2 brin is a _____ bet?
Fill in blank.

All in.  Bitcoin is going up!  Cheesy


Sorry that I have NOT been following you Bitchick, but I thought that several months back you sold a large portion of your bitcoins (at least your husband did). 

When did you get back into the "all in" sentiment?  In other words, for how long have you been buying back in?



Well, thankfully husband only had us sell 25%.  (like it or not, he was right about selling.  It is never fun to tell husbands they are right though. LOL)  But we actually cannot buy much back because we have a daughter starting college in a couple weeks.  It is a private university too and we are planning on paying for it all without any loans.  We have most of the year covered but I really hope we have another bubble by the halving next Summer. 


Whatever happened to self-reliance and the American way?  I mean, I would NOT expect that your daughter necessarily have to pay for all of her college expense (especially with the cost of education these days), but shouldn't she bear some of the expenses with the expectation that she is going to have increased future earnings (and probably better quality of life overall) upon receipt of a college degree.

Would you still believe that she is learning any valuable life-lesson(s) if you pay for her whole bill, or do you have some other side arrangement with her regarding this situation?

In that regard, you should be able to invest into both daughter's education and some form of dollar cost averaging in respect to bitcoins.

Yes, I agree that selling can sometimes be a good thing, yet we do NOT really know for sure at the time.  In retrospect, he turned out to be correct; however, I am a bit unsure about whether it was very prudent of a move for someone who is supposed to be a bull  (except for perhaps you guys may have ended up being a bit overextended - which can happen to any of us from time to time - especially when we sometimes will get a bit overexuberant regarding the upward price direction and/or potentials)  - on the other hand, there seems to have been a considerable amount of measuring involved, since his decision was to only sell 25% of the stash.. .yet in retrospect, frequently we kick ourselves because of what actually happened with the market - but who would have thunk?

Cant think of a better way to represent bitcoin, a weeping angel. The Doctor Who fans in this thread know exactly what happens when you blink and a weeping angel is out to get you. You simply cannot declare bitcoin dead, you cannot take your eyes away from it, you cant blink.

Bitcoin has the phone box. It's a creature from another world. It's static only when you see it... the lonely assassin, they used to call it...
Dont turn around, dont look away and dont blink.

Any updates to report? Re: Lucrative $2 dollar loan principles repaid in full... with interest?

Quoting the subversive lamb is liable to land you on a list 'round here. Fully frowned upon by the other investment professionals. In fact... forget I said anything... first they got the intellectuals over on the "thinky thread", no reason we couldn't be next. Shhhhh

I figured it out.
Dropping the price of Bitcoin predicted the world's first falling on the stock exchange in New York these days. JUST right now apple
-5.3%
microsoft -2.32  tesla -4.64  Facebook -5.02 google -2.808 .....  

Of course it has something from China and it predicts that they  will buy less....

those people who are behind Bitcoin, they know that what  came todays big fall in China and then to exchange anywhere in the West.

chess mat for Europe and Germany are emigrants. in 10-15 years the price of the euro will in half-what means even less money for Russian oil and minerals .. and what will be possible indication that the Russian bear go crazy completely..

will be strong only country which does not add emigrants and far from russia..... USA, Canada, Australia with the uncompromising immigration policy. NZ is buried in the problem of the economy. There is a huge problem to find a job, medical care , chinese drop price of NZ milk products..etc
asean countries have much people power  but low economy and hi coruption and slavery in this times still..its bad for economy.middle class..
wich emigrants i mean and religions ..hope you get to head Wink

Good point. Thanks for getting us back on track. I wish I knew which economist said something like "it's insanity to give power to those who pay no consequence for being wrong."

Thank you. He said it better than I did. That's why he gets paid to write and I don't.

Edit: Does this apply to the block size controversy? The FDA approves far less drugs than get denied approval and as a consequence far more people die from lack of appropriate medicine than are saved by protection from harmful medication, but because they only get credit for those they save and not those they kill, the FDA pays no price for being wrong. None of the core devs have been successful at getting their scalability fix implemented (so far), but they can truthfully point out all the downsides of the trade-offs of the other proposals and prevent those fixes from also being implemented.  There is a bias in the decision-making process similar to that of the FDA.  

It's impossible to measure lost opportunity, but we know how much time has been lost. Is being lost. The rate is sixty seconds a minute, 24 hours a day.

bizarro world = people who still think 'interest to infinity' debt slavery and 'trusting in god' for the fed to print money to pay the iou's to the banks from the money the banks paid to the us treasury for iou bonds from the money they got from loaning out 90% of what we deposit into their banks to other people 'interest to inifinity' creating new money so that all of us can slave labor to get some of the ever expanding money supply so we can pay the govy #abusivehightaxes to pay for obamacare and the dividends to the owners of the federal reserve (the banks) is still a valid working experiment.

Oh, they'll pay if doing nothing wrong can still get you in trouble. For an extreme example, try being gay in a country where that's illegal and/or will lead to death threats if known.

If you live in a country like that and you think BLACKMAIL is the problem, then I really can't help you. That's so dumb, I can't formulate a response.


How about a country where what you do in your free time can get you kicked out of your job, because some things are considered crimes although there's no victim?

Again, that's exactly what I'm asking. In the free market, every trade is win-win or no deal. No victims. One party may benefit more than the other but they both benefit or the trade doesn't happen. There is no "victim" in backmail. Actions have consequences and offering someone a choice as to which consequences they face is a simple business proposal. I'm guessing Bill Clinton would have preferred Linda Tripp make such a proposal. 

I guess this would apply to robbery at gun point as well.

I already addressed the difference. It's not my fault if you jump in the middle and think you've made some profound point.

It was by no means meant to be profound, it's just a bit difficult to follow your mind sometimes.
