Art, slender nude expect for a white men's shirt, holding a cup of coffee, sporting morning wood. And a very long fluffy tail. Done by one of the top artists (excellent attention to detail and lighting). Cost $1,2000 for the original, $300 for the print in the table. Usually strategically covered with a remote and a coaster (currently with bags of Halloween candy).

The erection is actually part of a joke in the picture. The content is a play on words, referencing morning coffee as a pick-me-up sorta thing (except having both, coffee and wood). And the art is drat good. If it was a really well drawn anime pic (hentai), and if I was into such a thing, I probably would've displayed that, instead. I've definitely come across people with such as their computer backgrounds. As for displaying it publicly, as mentioned, it's mostly covered, plus being able to do that is a major benefit of not living with my parents (we own our house), and being in a relationship with someone who is attracted to the same things I am.
I'm sure if all girls out there were into lesbian porn as well, guys with girlfriends/wives would decorate their homes with it too

I had about 50% of my life savings in MtGox.... (self.Bitcoin)

submitted 32 seconds ago by eduardom15

About 3 moths ago, I deposited 3 BTC to MtGox. I initially purchased the BTC from coinbase, and decided to transfer them to MtGox so that i could be able to buy and sell BTC without having to wait a week to get my BTC.This was perhaps the worst decision of my entire life.I have been trying to withdraw my BTC for about 2 months now, but i have been unable to.I was underage at the time that I deposited the BTC and submitted the AML verification request form.I finally turned 18 yesterday, and the first thing i did was submit another verification form.I am really afraid now because i don't have any of the documents that they ask for for proof of residence.I submitted a bank account statement, college acceptance letter, and a letter from my brokerage account. Do you guys think that these documents will be enough to get my account verified? What happens if my account is denied? Will i lose all my money?

I don't see why they would allow me to deposit my BTC in the first place, and then not allow me to withdraw them.I have been really frustrated/angry/ and sad for the past 2 weeks,knowing that i might have just lost all that money.Im already down over 1k from my initial bitcoin investment, and this has just made things worse.

mtgox stratrgy (self.Bitcoin)

submitted 5 hours ago by r_melee

Mt gox got the price down during their meltdown. The smart thing for them would be to turn on cash payouts and get all the BTC at low prices. They really have hurt BTC this week. But BTC will survive. If you made yourself no one can break you. Mt gox didn't make BTC. And neither did shrem dpr or anybody else. They will not break it. Just add to it's very colorful story.

[–]r_melee[S] -3 points 4 hours ago

I def don't have anything figured out. I'm just calling a spade a spade. Everyone posts all day long about fear of bitcoin being killed and the reality is bitcoin is like a bacteria. It's already been launched. It's not going away. And ultimately any establishment that doesn't embrace it will go down. Just like the internet. And personal computers. And digital movies and music

[–]Haviq 2 points 4 hours ago

Bacteria is an apt description.

[–]tulipfutures 5 points 4 hours ago

it may not die completely, but it's unlikely bitcoin will ever see the mainstream success that redditors envisage. To compare it to the internet or personal computers is asinine. WebTV may still be around, that doesn't mean it's successful or particularly important, sorry.

[–]r_melee[S] -4 points 4 hours ago

How in any way is it stupid to compare the first completely true peer to peer monetary system to these revolutionary things? Are u a bubble believer? It will absolutely go mainstream. It is currently going mainstream. In 2000 sony had a board meeting over digital music and it said that it was too complicated and no one would ever listen to music on their computer or be able to understand and embrace the download process for it go mainstream. You sound like them. When the internet began creeping into the hacker sphere people said that normal people would never embrace it. It was too complicated and most homes didn't have a computer. Comparing bitcoin to WebTV is like comparing the internet to the sony Walkman. You sound retarded.

[–]tulipfutures 2 points 4 hours ago

"it is currently going mainstream"

Oh, you mean gaining no additional value after being "accepted" my major retailers, and then crashing into oblivion? Yeah, I can totally see how that's the same thing as mp3s. You're greatly inflating the value of bitcoin. I'm being cautious and logical, you're essentially blinded by your own greed if you think Bitcoin is as innovative as The Internet.

Also you look like a 10-year old when you resort to calling names. I'm very offended, as you can tell.

[–]r_melee[S] -2 points 4 hours ago

And "crashing into oblivion" meaning 750$ to the dollar.

And being "accepted" by major retailers who see a 50% overall increase in sales

And I personally have been able to feed my family on the profit I've made by investing in them.

Keep it retarded brother. What's your WebTV user name? I'm on Prodigy. Message me

[–]tulipfutures 4 points 4 hours ago

Can you link me to that 50% increase in sales? Oh, also compare that increase to Amazon's daily average without using Bitcoin. Get back to me on that.

By crashing into oblivion I don't mean $750. That's still a gigantic overvaluation considering Bitcoins work the same whether they cost $1 or $1000.

[–]r_melee[S] -1 points 4 hours ago

Cool Corky

[–]r_melee[S] -1 points 4 hours ago

Ah your last statement proves your misunderstanding of bitcoin. The dollar also works the same regardless of it's value with the euro. But they have banks who inflate and deflate the price. Bitcoin is organic and it's value is established by the community's activities. Your new name is Corky

As for amazon. Another uneducated statement. Want to see the overstock.com articles about how it had a large sales bump once bitcoin was implemented? 50 percent. Google it Corky. That's https://www.google.com

Let's humor 'TulipFutures'. "Why would an 'IRS' Coin succeed, and Bitcoin fail? (self.Bitcoin)

submitted 28 minutes ago by CalvinHouse

This 'IRS' coin would FOR SURE have these characteristics:

1 It would be 'pre-mined', and the government would add more or less as they see fit.

2 It would not be decentralized.

3 You would not be able to mine it and create 'IRS Coins' yourself.

4 You would not be able to send the money on YOUR terms (when, where, how much)

5 In the event that the Government decides they need money, they have backdoor access to your wallets for withdrawals.

Seems like a recipe for the community to embrace it! (By the way Tulip, the community embraces U.S. Dollars because it's rooted in years and years of history. IRS Coin could succeed in some form, but it would literally just be digital dollars, and we're all back to square one.)
