Ham Sandwiches posted:I post about a lot of topics, and it's only with Bitcoins that I gotta prove that my opinions can be floated, it's loving amazing dude. I mean you also haven't said, "I DON'T trade bitcoins", so you're leaving us on this weird Schrodinger's cliffhanger. *I'm* just curious, because a lot of us probably have hosed around with it; like my friend and I bought a few to 'try it out' first when the first news of Silk Road broke several years ago; he was already messing with TOR at that point for security purposes, so it was natural to just 'look into it'. The things we tried worked, but after that we just didn't really bother with the market-trading aspects of it, because the novelty wore off. Watching the whole Butterfly Labs thing happen was loving hilarious, as well. edit:

Unless you get a national entity to cash you out as a blood favor in Rubles or something that you can then actually exchange for Other Real Money, it really sounds like getting meaningful money out of buttcoin is pretty difficult. The layers of EVE-esque scams between you and the prize are too numerous.

Ham Sandwiches posted:fake news If there's fakeposts circulating around with the prevalence you say, even a few, that means a chance exists that someone is en masse manipulating the currency to their own designs.

Ham Sandwiches posted:No it means people have a narrative that is "dumb redditors try to mine bitcoins and lose money" in the process, and twist every single story into that narrative so that they can make fedora and m'lady jokjes. And they were too busy going "hurf gonna buy some magic cards on the Mt Gox exchange, did you know that exchange was originally used for Magic The Gathering Online Exchanges that's why the acronyms are Mt Gox" to see that it was getting pretty dumb. Ok, I should just advise you that those kinds of market forces DO EXIST in currencies outside of bitcoins, so if you see something LIKE that, you should just remember these words I posted here. I've like long suspected that a bunch of people/entities decided they needed to create horses in the BitCoin game, which is part of why I never touched it; it just looked like too much of a messy market, even for someone outside-looking-in. The opportunities for money laundering would naturally attract Mafia-esque entities, and people whose sole purpose is to make as much money as possible in a largely unregulated environment.

Ham Sandwiches posted:Yes indeed, even IF you make money on it, it's always going to be rigged. The exchanges will always steal your money. Finally, even if that doesn't come to pass, you can only use the bitcoins for money laundering, child porn, and drugs. This is all part of the standard goon spiel unfortunately. I can't speak for all goons, but that's what I saw. It's the same reason that the Russians and Chinese will get pissy with you if you gently caress with their EVE operations; it's just another outlet for that kind of activity.

Unironically, I'm actually pleased in ways that bitcoins exist because it makes a new weird market where comedy (and changes) can precipitate. It's broadened our economic horizons, and created some very interesting situations, none of which directly affected me or I was invested in. Great news material, if you will, and always fascinating to read about. It's for the same reason that I'm also not really happy about it; it's interesting to me, but the people that seek to use it for the most part are there to: - Exploit it - Cut me out of it for better market control - Make fun of me for not participating outside of my casual interest and occasional desire to read about it. - Be really loving bitter?? Between the massive amount of "apparent" problems, and the inherent sodium content of the positions defending the currency method as a whole, the whole market even just LOOKS like it's occupied by really salty and lovely people. I keep drawing parallels to EVE Online, but the same FYGM mentality seems to have permeated and saturated the cryptocurrency community (with at least one notable exception so far), so it's less of a Research and Development effort, and has now attracted even large banking entities who probably belong to the first two bulleted demographics above.

a bone to pick posted:I'm studying network security right now and I had a thought, someone should tell me if its valid. I also work in IT, and have directly been watching that happen: Yes, the price spike seems to have coincided with the past few months'/1yr prevalence of crypto-lockers. Collusion or overlap between the Bitcoin Enthusiast/Ransomware Author demographics, in my mind, is pretty likely. Consider that "WannaCry" came on the heels of a major political event, it almost feels like someone got a Thirst for Money, and saw an opportunity to punish the world while making a profit. (Not that there isn't a 'major political event' every hour these days or anything though.) If not, it sure would be a slam dunk way to simultaneously drive up the market value of Coins, AND put them back in The Headlines. The Ransomware samples we studied did not seem to be created within the United States, so please take these observations with a grain of salt.

Yo I wish anyone investing in Buttcoins the best of luck. Keep that wild, wild west eye on the market.mojo1701a posted:Could be an attempt at some pump & dump. If you can get some goons to jump on the bandwagon, it might shoot the price up. Given the amount of "puppeteering" happening everywhere in some mediums lately, it wouldn't surprise me. For me, even the slightest hint that someone's trying to astroturf me into buying into whatever they're peddling is enough to get me to ignore. Every time someone does try to astroturf it near me, I can't help but imagine some shadowy, epitome of darkness that speaks in echoey polyharmonics through countless rows of unspeakable, gnashing teeth, uttering riddles that seduce you into a world of debt cycles to faceless people on the internet with promises of a Gold Rush.

Oh, yes, playing EVE Online with goons is one of the best gaming experiences I've had in my lifetime. Bar none, hands down, gaming with goons is some of the most fun you'll have with a computer or console.

Ham Sandwiches posted:Yeah and what if like, he got mugged or lost his wallet containing $100, what happens then? I edited my post for clarity, I realized I'd typed something that sounded different than what I wanted to ask. I have no experience with even having a .wallet, so I'm kinda testing the veracity of my coworker's story vs. what reality might be. How possible is it for someone to "hack" his phone, and utilize its 2FA security to send his coins to a different .wallet? Is that a thing that's happened to other people, or is this too convoluted to add up and be realistic?
