I'm so tired of this crap I'm not even engaging in the debate anymore.

Lavabit was a much more "under the radar" provider. Silent circle has gained huge traction since they started and provide secure Phone, SMS and mail services. They may not be "equal" but silent circle is certainly more o

I would probably argue that being imprisoned for an undetermined time is fairly comparable to "losing your life" for most people.

Spideroak.com - online backup and sync with zero-knowledge client side encryption should be represented in cloud services in my opinion, though since we are not yet 100% open source I understand the arguments against it. We are however very

I am thoroughly unimpressed by Marissa Mayer at this point. Yahoo is doing nothing but keeping up their 'trend' of buying too early or too late. Tumblr while a great asset is going to be FAR to expensive to pay off for Yahoo at this point,

Yup. Or at least something that could very easily be traced back to me.

Simply 100% not true. They freely admitted to committing crimes, and there is overwhelming evidence they routinely broke the law and helped clients do the same. The 'fine' was a joke.

A HUGE reason for Amazon is to build their own transaction network with control over fee structure, security and implementation.

No doubt this is the REAL test of Bitcoin. I can see if hitting $30 again to bottom out.

by SODaniel 13y ago
Yeah but you need to perform the sales with matching funds on both trading platforms. Selling here and transferring BTC/USD to another trading platform is not the method due to the swings and time for verification.

Yeah, NO ONE saw this coming :) Of course DDOS attacks, split market places and a gains of 100% per week for a few months are going to require hard falls.

While I agree to an extent, the current $2 billion market cap is far to small to compare with. When/if BTC reaches around $5,000 each ($50 billion or so market cap) I will agree.

Nope. Since no one can ever satisfactory answer the question of the 'real' amount of BTC in circulation, this will only serve as a factor of uncertainty. Lost bitcoins affect nothing, FOUND bitcoins can affect everything.
22.
by SODaniel 13y ago
Nope. That's the problem. LOST bitcoin (as you cannot quantify the availability of anonymous data blocks) wouldn't effect anything. ONLY FOUND bitcoins would.

I think the 'point' here is that as opposed to chests with 100.000.000KG of gold there are actually 'lost' wallet files with enough BTC that it would 'rock' an economy with a currency cap in the future. I am pretty sure if someone found a s

by SODaniel 13y ago
I agree that it's not a 'currency killer' in the short run BUT if we speculate that BTC reaches mainstream popularity and a total market value in the 100-1000s of BILLION USD the fact that an 'unknown' amount is in circulation makes for a v

by SODaniel 13y ago
I agree that this argument is purely stupid. How does the 'feeling richer' psychological factor somehow play into the success or downfall of a currency as a 'flaw' in the mechanics of it? Some people feel 'richer' with 1 OZ of gold then $17

While I don't disagree with the author I would say that the finite supply shines a light on an even more direct problem. What happens to 'lost' coins? The BTC supply is not only finite but in fact dwindling over time, as inevitably the amou

I would have to argue that I trust an anonymous computer network and my own ability to keep a wallet file safe over any bank in the world. At least a blockchain isn't actively out to scam me out of money.

I think a lot of people here would benefit from reading some William Gibson novels. I don't think the BTC will ever be a 'currency' as the USD or the GBP. It is also not necessary for the BTC to be at a 'fixed value' at any time. As a virtu

Not to mention that it seems like in this case the person in question may be whining about untaxed funds that he skimmed of his company. Oh no, I am being robbed of money that wasn't mine!!
