Title: BitCoin out of bidness
Post by: Nails on February 25, 2014, 08:11:12 AM
i have heard bitcoin on the radio and online , but what the fuck was it   ??? ???

Any of you Getbig idiots invest in this and lose all your cash ???



Mt. Gox, the biggest exchange for the currency, virtually disappears with its founder gone, website down and office vacated.  What's at risk? »

Mt. Gox website says all transactions closed "for the time being"


(Reuters) - Prominent bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox posted an update on its website on Tuesday, saying a "decision was taken to close all transactions for the time being," citing "recent news reports and the potential repercussions on MtGox's operations."

The website went dark on Tuesday and its chief executive told Reuters that the business was "at a turning point." Mt. Gox halted withdrawals earlier this month after detecting what it called "unusual activity.

"We will be closely monitoring the situation and will react accordingly," the website said.

the first bitcoin rollers made all the money they wanted.  think about the 11 million initial allotment of coins.  No one actually knows who owns them all.  They got to $1000 a piece.  You don't think those Japs that started it didn't cash in their billions and fuck off from it leaving the idiots in tow holding a bag of worthless shit?  It was a total pump and dump scam.

BTC believers are bozos.  Tulip bulb mania of 1637, baseball cards, pet rocks, beanie babies, etc...

Digital fiat currency is still fiat currency.  Even better, it can be fully traceable and controlled.  At least paper cash has anonymity.

Whatever can be created with a keystroke, can be deleted with a keystroke.  

Don't be fooled... the only real money and storage of wealth is this:

I'm talking about physical paper dollars.  

You're obviously not going to buy a big ticket item like a house or Ferrari with cash.

You can keep cash at home in a safe and spend it at your leisure... no paper/electronic trail whatsoever.

TPTB want to do away with cash... too much anonymity and no way to track it.  

I believe crypto-currencies are a beta test for a one world digital currency.

I'm Creating My Own Digital Cryptocurrency

I'm sure you're all familiar with the bitcoin (http://bitcoin.org/en/) by now. But what you might not know is that there is a whole ecology of alternative (http://www.coinmarketprice.com/) cryptocurrencies being brought to market (initially just mined, then put on an exchange and traded for fiat) with their own special functions -- e.g., coins whose mining sends computational power to BOINC research projects (gridcoin).

As CEO of Vincent Goodcome Enterprises, I'm always looking for ways to innovate and expand my burnt appendages into new markets. Today I'd like to share my latest innovation:

Introducing, the goodcoin (GOC)

(http://i43.tinypic.com/ac5phi.jpg)

Technical specifications:
60 second block time
10 goodcoin's reward per block
60 second transaction confirmation time
scrypt-based, proof of work algorithm
Retarget every 4 hours

RPC/P2P Ports = 8505/8506

The goodcoin will be a revolutionary new cryptocurrency that will only gain value as its adoption rate increases. Initial miners will get free digital coupons to Caliber Fitness and Caliber Grocery upon successful mining of each block (in addition to the standard 10 goodcoin reward). Goodcoins make a great holiday gift as well because I'm sure they'll be useful for something sometime in the future (haven't figured that part of the business out quite yet).

More news to come!!

Most people claim net worth based on cash holdings they have + assets.  But those cash holdings today are virtual.  nothing to stop a bank from just wiping out your account or freezing it leaving you without access to your cash.  the gov has done this to many people

gold is not fiat (it is a physical commodity), it has intrinsic value as a holder of wealth. Anything can be seized property, liberty, children and family....

I don't disagree with that.  There are NO incentives to keeping large amounts of cash in a bank today.

Regarding frozen assets... you never really own your home, you're simply renting from the government.  Try not paying RE taxes and see what happens to your home.

MtGox is out of business which is a relief for the bitcoin community. Bitcoin can now contiune its upward climb now that the cancer known as Gox is gone. Serious investors pulled their money and coins off Gox months ago. Also, I have been mining a new alt coin called Bitcoin Scrypt, similar to bitcoin. The Chinse seem to like it. I have made over 500 percent profit on it in the past week. Currently, you can convert a fraction of a cent into full units of Bitcoin Scrypt. We're on the edge of a new horzizon. This is about bitcoin the protocol, not bitcoin the currency. The people with intuitive insight will be made very wealthy. Good luck to you guys flipping stocks in a market on the edge of collapse. Bitcoin will save the world.

Bitcoin price up 40% in the past 24 hours, just as predicted. Never buy into the hype of mainstream media. The price of bitcoin is going a lot higher.

Here is a good site for tracking crypto currency movement:

The world central bankers in conjunction with your government are working on the theft of your 401ks. As the great George Carlin said "they're coming for your retirement money, they want it all and they'll get it". It would be prudent to diversity in items like real estate, bitcoin, gold and silver.

You see the ignorance being engendered by media coverage of cryptocurrencies -- look at the responses in this thread. The problem is that this coverage might be sufficient to permanently scare away the masses such that widespread adoption -- whether of bitcoin itself or a cryptocurrency derived from its protocol -- never occurs.

Also, I'd say bitcoin "saving the world" is a bit hyperbolic; let's not overstate the case to be made, yeah?

Bitcoin and crypto-currencies are a Ponzi/fad... just like tulip bulbs, pet rocks, mood rings, baseball cards, beanie babies, dot.com stocks, etc...  The first people in at the beginning make all the money, the last people in are the bag holders.

I do agree about the 401k confiscation though.
