When I was in Vegas I saw a sign on a bar that said they accepted bitcoins. That is my only real life experience with the currency. Thank you for reading.

Blurry Gray Thing posted:"You best start believin' in Bitcoin stories, Miss Doctor." The story I posted is really funny in just how reasonable it is to someone who is trying to act in good faith. I know about Bitcoins because of threads I've read on SA but it's something I could see someone who is financially ignorant falling for if you show them the right combination of magazine articles, news reports, and graphs and figures. She hasn't introduced him to any of her friends yet... I'm hoping to meet him eventually, he sounds like a treasure; this is the tip of the iceberg

the black husserl posted:goons have been talking poo poo about bitcoin for years but it just keeps getting more valuable and legit. please explain. Bitcoiners are willing to give each other more money for bitcoins than they used to, but you still can't really buy anything with them, except illegal poo poo. They've actually gotten considerably less legit. Go look at any list of places you can spend bitcoin and 90% of the list is obsolete.

regarding this doctor story. I bet the dude has a big dick. Also I bet his plan is to pay back the loan with money to get back the coins as they will just go up and up. so in his mind rather than sell 6K worth of coins now and then pay 12 K to get them back later. He can have the money pay it back and then get the profit from his coins. I miss atlas he was funny.

The Bible posted:Bitcoiners are willing to give each other more money for bitcoins than they used to, but you still can't really buy anything with them, except illegal poo poo. Think of it this way; if you divide a given number by an ever smaller and smaller number, the portions left are bigger and bigger. Until you try to divide by zero then everything goes to poo poo. Bitcoins are going "up in value" because Bitcoiners don't understand the concept of market depth. An ever smaller and smaller circle of gullible idiots are passing bits back and forth, sometimes*. Mostly it's wealthy Chinese looking to dump their currency and get dollars from those gullible idiots who are hoarding for the future, because like half the bitcoin processing power or something is owned by a few people in China. So sure, a Bitcoin was sold here and there and there was a number attached to those sales. What you cannot do is take the value of the very, very few Bitcoins that are sold and multiply them by every Bitcoin in existence then proclaim that to be the price. This is, of course, exactly what Bitcoiners do. *Mostly not though because deflationary currency encourages hoarding, or some crazy poo poo some filthy fiat economist once said somewhere so it must have been a conspiracy and a lie to deprive you of your Bitcoins DON'T BELIEVE IT up uP UP TO THE MOON!

Tell her to to buy (if she can actually spend them) some Amazon gift cards from a place like gyft then sell them on a gift card reseller site. She'll lose like 10% but at least she won't lose all of it.

KEEP CALM AND BITCOIN ONbottom of the barrel posted:I wrote my first computer code when I was 8 years young. Mathematics is the language I speak and trust. Enter the emerging idea of Bitcoin. I discovered this exciting open source technology in 2010. Together with my business partner, Valery Nebesny, we realized this new way of processing and transferring assets could actually make our world a better and fairer place for people everywhere — in developed and developing countries — all through the use of math, cryptography and thoughtful programming language based on the fundamental value of trust. Fast forward 5+ years, and the world of Bitcoin has advanced beyond our wildest expectations and continues to be a dynamic innovative ecosystem that is evolving every day.

revmoo posted:3) The Bitcoin TV show guy who wanted to host a conference in Pattaya and then it came out he was a huge pedo This will honestly be one of my life's happiest memories. Bruce Wagner used to be a huge loving deal in the Bitcoin community, dozens if not hundreds of national interviews, he was one of the most important public faces of Bitcoin. Then I found out he was a convicted con-artist, shared it with this forum and the Bitcoin community drove a bus over him and said I was driving it because I was a homophobe. Seriously not kidding, the Bitcoiners hated me because me, super human being, lost count of how many guys I have slept with somewhere around a hundred wanted to ruin Bitcoin because their public face was gay.

I had a roommate a short while ago who was ALL ABOUT the bitcoins. He had this grand financial plan of saving up enough to have 10, because one day a coin will be worth 10k, and all the charts say it's true! How could the charts lie? Look at them! Every day was a bit of a laff though. For some reason, he really wanted to try and convince me I was wrong about bitcoins being a silly startup that would be quickly overtaken by something more stream-lined and effective. Almost every day he'd offer me some silly news, about how regretfully he had to sell a bit of bitcoin, only to find the value rise quite a bit soon after he sold. Or he'd tell me about how he bought a bit, and how the price immediately plummeted. Then on other days he wouldn't have news for me, but I'd grill him on recent news of hackings and frauds and whatnots [oh my] Kinda suspected the dude might've been involved in a bit of a dumb cult before, but it seems very much like bitcoins are culty. All the enthusiasts seem to have whipped themselves into this fervor that they're all going to be "early adopter millionaires," and that anything contrary to that is blasphemy.

EL BROMANCE posted:Logansryche is my all time favourite buttcoin artist and I'm not surprised he has yet another hair brained scheme based around donations (that won't make him jack poo poo). Sounds like server maintenance of these Fur Valley sims. These are private sims, so maintenance for one sim can be anywhere from $75-$295 per month, depending on the level of performance and how much traffic you want to handle. The thing is that Fur Valley that he wants to restore was something like 43 sims, which would at least be $3,225 per month for all low-impact sims.

Also wasn't it literally always the case that as soon as 50% of the [whatever the bitcoin marketplace is measured in, I don't speak the kind of ridiculous nerd that this article is translated to] was controlled by a single consortium it would destroy itself?

Serrath posted:Any lawyer that doesn't laugh in her face with this story is probably scamming her themselves. I posted the story because it was funny; she's lost the 6k and I think she knows she lost the 6k. Dunno what she plans to do with the bitcoins that are apparently in her name but who even knows if they're in her name; I mentioned a few points raised in this thread to her about ownership and she started to pale and then start googling things on her phone. So she'll not even go to small claims court over this if she doesn't get the money, despite this sort of thing being exactly when small claims is for?
