 | there seems to be a strong correlation between people who think money is made by the us govt by printing them (or going into moneyland and picking some money out of money trees), and shitcoin enthusiasts who think they're sticking it to the man with their virtual shitcoins
 there's also a correlation between these two and BEING A FUCKING AUTIST

 yeah the underground black market on bitcoin is one issue...
 
 
 thing is, dont know if you all know/knew about it
 
 but there was this online currency kind of a 'paypal' system called libertyreserve.com
 
 it was used by many child porn, and other stuff like mouney laundering and even drug-selling and other underground type of deals and shit..
 
 libertyreserve.com was active and in service for 11 years.
 it was taken down by the fbi earlier this year and they seized -i dont remember the exact amount-  but it was a big number.. like dozens of millions of dollars.
 
 i dont have the article but allegedly 80% of the libertyreserve users were shady and/or dealt with illegal stuff... while the few 20% still lost their e-money not sure if they got it back or what
 
 anyway
 
 libertyreserve wasnt IMF approved like bitcoin
 
 
 i read somewhere bitcoin, being it an approved currency.. and
 anonymous as hell, you dont need any ID or w/e to function.
 its based on P2P hashes... (kind of like torrents)... attracts all sorts of shady transactions...
 
 so, in other words, bitcoin stepped in for libertyreserve
 
 but... noone has been able to take down p2p PIRATEBAY.ORG, and goverments have tried hell yeah.... so i suppose some sort of similar scenario on BITCOIN

 its pretty funny how people are like FIAT CURRENCY IS STUPID YOU CAN JUST PRINT MORE OF IT IF YOU WANT IT BUHHHH?  THATS RETARDED LOL and their solution is a currency whose value is not backed by the most powerful military in the world but by a bunch of NEET autists with motherboards mounted to their basement ceilings

 | Foonat - it was sarcasm. Obviously all investmest are risky to a degree. However I did find some interesting information. 
 
 A bubble is "trade in high volumes at prices that are considerably at variance with intrinsic values". So it's meaningless to argue about whether Bitcoin is a bubble without first estimating its intrinsic value.
 
 If you are certain that Bitcoin will never gain significant traction in any of its target markets, then its intrinsic value is very low, and it's a bubble at almost any price. However, if you believe that it has a good chance of becoming a major player in any major financial arena, then it is almost certainly undervalued at its current price.
 
 For example, consider Bitcoin as an alternative to credit cards for low profit margin industries. Grocery stores typically have a 2% profit margin and pay 3% in credit card fees. If they can convince their customers to pay with bitcoins, perhaps by offering a 1% discount, they could double their profit margins. Of course, we need better hardware wallets and point-of-sale terminals, both of which are in the works. And the current volatility complicates things. But the possibility of doubling profit margins provides a strong incentive to find solutions.
 
 Consider countries like Argentina, with 25% inflation and frequent currency collapses. Some people there are already using Bitcoin for their savings, and as long as their government continues to abuse their currency, that number will certainly grow.
 
 Consider all the countries that would like to unseat the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency. Consider various blocs of smaller countries that are having trouble competing internationally, each with its own weak currency. Imagine all the Arab nations, or a group of African nations, deciding to adopt Bitcoin as their common currency, much as the European nations adopted the Euro. As the U.S. dollar crisis deepens, this becomes an increasingly viable possibility.
 
 Consider those wanting to send a portion of their paycheck back home to poor relatives, but not wanting to pay the high fees of today's systems.
 
 Bitcoin is better than the existing money in many ways, and I believe its eventual adoption is inevitable. For that to happen, the price must go up. Many people have done their homework, reached the same conclusion, and that's why the price keeps rising.

 lol. Well since you're the owner of 50$ worth of bitcoin I'm sure you'll keep us all up to date on how much it increases or decreases over the next week right?

 | If it makes money, you sell it at the end of the week and let us know. If you lose money then make sure to tell everyone how it has strengthened your resolve that bitcoin is much more volatile than the stock market. 
 Can you do that William?

 Consider countries like Argentina, with 25% inflation and frequent currency collapses. Some people there are already using Bitcoin for their savings, and as long as their government continues to abuse their currency, that number will certainly grow.
 
 Consider all the countries that would like to unseat the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency. Consider various blocs of smaller countries that are having trouble competing internationally, each with its own weak currency. Imagine all the Arab nations, or a group of African nations, deciding to adopt Bitcoin as their common currency, much as the European nations adopted the Euro. As the U.S. dollar crisis deepens, this becomes an increasingly viable possibility.
 
 Consider those wanting to send a portion of their paycheck back home to poor relatives, but not wanting to pay the high fees of today's systems.
 
 Bitcoin is better than the existing money in many ways, and I believe its eventual adoption is inevitable. For that to happen, the price must go up. Many people have done their homework, reached the same conclusion, and that's why the price keeps rising.

 on the subject of replacing credit card payments:
 
 bitcoin is convenient and all but as far as i've experiencied payments and such, it takes minutes to acknowledge, i don't know what is up with that, perhaps was the store i was paying to and its not that way to others
 
 and apparently, to speed up the transaction, you have to add a 'miners fee'
 its an option there on the transaction process, you can add a very small amount. in my previous experiences if you add 0.003 it takes around 5-10 mins to have official transaction confirmation and then acknowledged by the store, if you had 0.03 (that would be around 20 cents) it speeds up to between 2-3 mins. but still, not viable if you were let's say in a supermarket with many customers on line

 are you saying that i'm wrong, and that bitcoin is not volatile relative to other currencies, such as the US dollar?
