Why don't they sell these car at discount?

Because why would you buy this years model if you can get the previous model new for a decent discount?

Another reasons is laws are always changing, particularly in Europe and particularly in regards to emissions, it stands to reason that often the previous model doesn't meet the requirements to be registered.

The solution is just not to produce cars they can't sell in the first place rather than producing loads and not being able to sell them all.

Are you in the market for a new used car or a new car? You might be stuck if your looking for the later.

Used. New cars are poor value.

Ai, someones gotta buy em though so the smarter ones amongst us have something to buy.

Although I do have to say there are some really good deals with new cars in the UK at the moment with 100,000 mile warranties, free insurance (Which for a young driver can save another £1500) and 5 year 0% finance deals, still not enough to interest me but its slightly more understandable than it was a few years ago.

Snopes has this as "false" but it seems like a rather weak and hand-waving debunk to me.

I've seen the article before and while it may be exaggerated I have seen first hand scenes like this. I visited the Rover Plant in Longbridge, Birmingham and there were always piles and piles of cars. As snopes suggests though this was a few years ago and the general automobile market has likely changed.

I have a friend who also works at the end of the line of a car manufacturing plant fixing the problems that vehicles that don't pass inspection have. He leads me to believe that sometimes if the defects the cars are manufactured with are numerous or serious enough its deemed un economical to repair and they end up in the same sort of place.

No Aston Martins, Ferraris, Maserati or Lambo's.    I'm not going to waste my BTC on a Volkswagen.
Car market not ready for bitcoin Sad

Love my TDI but I've just about run it into the ground. Time for a refresh. I won't use my stash though. It would have to be a buy BTC then spend.

The ISIS association was big news apparently.

The ISIS thing is a big thing in the MSM, there is something about it even in the smallest newspapers today.

Dont worry ISIS may not bother with bitcoin - as they now have their own ISIS coin listed on mintpal.

I dont see why ISIS is big news for the same reason as I always end up explaining when we get the money laundering, international drug dealer arguments.

Just look at the numbers in terms of liquidity, market cap,volatility and volume. What drug dealer, money launder or terrorist can operate at any significant figures in the BTC market? The head of ISIS is worth $1.2 billion even if he wanted to deal with $50mm in Bitcoin, where in the world can he buy that much at a spot price? Where can he then transact that and convert it back to $ in a timely manner and without loosing money ? If they want to use BTC as a store of value I dont mind that at all Smiley but for general terrorist transactions the market is nowhere near big enough.

Interesting. I'm in the market for a new car and have the cash to do so. Will have to take a look.

Though  have never heard of this company at all in any manner.

If it were a mother giving birth.... I would be shouting "PUUUUSSSSHHHHH, GO ON PUUUUSSSSSHHHHH I CAN SEE THE LITTLE FUCKERS HEAD"

Then I would take some of the oxygen myself, and tell her that her vagina volume is weak - and to give it a rest  Cheesy Cheesy

I get that but why would it suddenly rise? I can see it happen slowly over time but why is there this idea that sometime soon we'll see an explosion? I don't see a reason for it.

Smooth growth is rational, bubble growth is irrational. People tend to be irrational in the face of fear so we're waiting for a fear-generating event perhaps.

You guys are fucking crazy.  Bitcoin has gone from 10$ to 600$ in 2 years and you guys are sitting here bitching its not moving fast enough?


Just get it out of bitcoin now. You people don't deserve wealth.

It is mind work. It consist of stretching out on the sofa, occasionally go to the screen and enter to_da_moon, sometimes endure deep despair, some euforia. That is how we build the future of money. It deserves to be rewarded, and quickly.



Look, I'm all for changing the world and improving mankind through technical innovations but just sitting on a forum bitching the price isn't making you rich by tomorrow is just greedy and not in the spirit of bitcoin at all. We must improve as a community as well as we improve the ecosystem as a whole.

Bitcoin price has been amazingly bullish as a whole. These price movements people bitch about are just static and noise. Go do something productive that adds value to the network instead of being an ungrateful leech. 

Also I'm on my phone so this formatting got ducked up.

For the common good - Heil Hitler!



Lol. The best thing  about bitcoin is that it's neutral. There is no face. It can and will be supported by all types of people. From terrorists to politicians to soccer mom's. Bitcoin doesn't care, and will do its job.

Yep. World money is desperately needed.
