Massive Bitcoin Bubble

Postby AIRburst95 » Fri Apr 12, 2013 3:27 pm

Bitcoin yesterday was massively devalued by more than 50% following a market shutdown, restart, and then another huge DDoS attack.

Thoughts? Also, did you "invest" in the digital currency?

I thought it was an idiotic attempt to get free money. Now people invest heavily into machines that generate so much heat they have literally hospitalised their owners, so now it's just an idiotic attempt at getting very expensive money.

Suffice to say: no, I did not invest in this currency.

This, also add electricity bills + cost of hardware. And putting financial trust into something that can be wholly put down with DOS.. yeah, it's silly indeed.


Good point. Also, nice picture.

I'm hardly an expert in economics, but wouldn't it make sense to invest now? The way I see it, there's a more-than-likely chance it will rise back up.

And they think that a monetary system where there is a fixed maximum total amount is somehow superior because there won't be inflation by governments just printing money. Which is... naive. a) That thing just now? That was massive inflation. Inflation has nothing to do with the total amount of currency. The value of a currency is not somehow the total value of things in the world divided by the amount of currency. b) Uncontrollable deflation is even worse than inflation because nobody would want to get rid of their bitcoins then, thus halting all trade. And with no way to combat that by printing more currency, any deflation that naturally occurs will be uncontrollable UNLESS some benevolent entity buys up a significant fraction of bitcons and releases them into the market on such occasion. c) Limited resources turn into speculation objects, and speculation objects do not make good currency.

I propose a better currency. The Average Potato. It works like this: Every Average Potato can be exchanged for a kg of real potatoes, but not immediately. Instead, you get 100g next next November, 100g November next year, and so on, over the span of nine years. This insulates the Average Potato from harvest fluctuations and oh wait all this would do is make them breed super weight potatoes that grow twice as big in the same ground as regular ones, are still potatoes according to the definition but completely inedible, every farmer is going to grow them for profit and we'll all starve.

Tf2 hats is the online currency of the future.. :) Super stable and the value has steadily increased at a respectable rate

my backpack is worth around $6000

Really its the same concept of bitcoin but you actually have something to show for it..

Not completely anonymous though.. but you guys are uplink players.. move the hat around a few times and transfer it to a proxy account..

if someone started a silkroad with tf2 hats as payments and auto traded the hats around once you paid..

It would be only slightly less anonymous than Bitcoin think it is.

Good afternoon, cryptocurrencies are a very interesting and exciting topic. I have already come across various advertisements about this more than once and I think it might be worth trying it for yourself, although on the other hand, I have no knowledge in this area.

Hey, I think this is a really cool idea to try. The cryptocurrency sphere is indeed very popular and has great potential. If you start now, then in a few months you will already understand how it all works and how to make money on it. I can personally recommend you the metatrader 4 download pc app. Here you can conveniently engage in cryptocurrency trading, and the cool and experienced managers of this broker will help you deal with everything.

I know what it's like to have the desire to earn and invest as much money as possible. Recently I started using a it as an application. It seems to be practical. I also learned about the best exchange for crypto. You can learn more about it at the link. How interesting is it? Holders of a large amount of will get some advantage in that.

Thanks to bitcoin casino reviews https://nodepositz.org/bitcoin-casinos/, I have become much more versed in this and now I earn much more thoughtfully. Moreover, you can always find fresh information and bonus codes. If you play thoughtfully, you can really earn.
