Its entirely possible to be up several thousand percent right now with aggressive put gambling on the S&P while there's no way anyone is up significantly with bitcoins in the last few weeks.

This is very misleading. I was made to believe that with bitcoins you could buy high, and sell low and still make money. Its called upward vibrations...

Someone commented on my story about MyBitcoin

quote:

Terry Smith says:

In every single one of these cases bitcoin is fine, it�s the wonky websites and sleezy people who are lining up to exploit it who are the problem.

The light attracts bugs.

We will handle this without the intervention of the state, because asking for regulation is exactly like getting the cops to put you in a cell where you will be safe. We�ll be safe on our own, thank you.

These people are so dumb.

It seems to be less about bugs attracted to light than it is about scammers being attracted to bait that there is literally no negative consequence for exploiting. Why don't they get this?

Let me preface this by saying I'm not asking for a recap of the past 1000 pages or anything. I've followed this thread close enough. I'm fascinated by the finance of all this, and the psychology behind a bunch of tools that have assigned a monetary value to some math that their computer did.

I've been skipping a few pages where it gets to the OnlyOneTV talk, as its none of the above. Can I ask what the origin of "Very Misleading" is?

Yeah, and I have this odd feeling that most people will have passcodes that are far too easy to brute force and won't manage to revoke their phone's access in time. Not sure quite why cough.

it was through shady transactions with lunatics of some kind and involving negligible actual expense being traded for 3 BTC. I can't say any more than that without jeopardizing future revenues.
