Fat Freddy Pillar of the Community United States 1200 Posts	Posted 02/25/2014 8:13 pm Quote: the problem is trust. I don't think so. The people who used Mt. Gox had way too much trust for their own good. I think the real problem is the evident lack of honesty and integrity. Report this Post to the Staff
nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 02/25/2014 11:52 pm There we go, more than 1/20th of all the world's Bitcoin vanished into the ether! "See, Bitcoin is gaining popularity, look at our best-used and most reliable exchange"... whoosh! Sometimes I worry that Bitcoin really will take off and I'll be one of the sobbing plebes who didn't get in early while the multitrillionaires build their redoubts of liberty or whatever, but then something like this happens.

Bitcoins.... when the end does come the Zombucks still work in a dark room with a match, or in the light of day with out a solar panel and massive internet infrastructure. Not like I'm an end of times hoarder, I honestly don't think it will all go to Mad Max over night but I'd much rather have something in hand than a digital representation of something that never did exist... Heck I keep 10 CENTS in my bank account and no more. Direct deposit day is direct withdraw day, the only bank I trust is "Hip Pocket National" Report this Post to the Staff
Spikey Norman Valued Member Ireland 131 Posts	Posted 02/26/2014 09:05 am I'm sure at some point digital currencies (or currency) will become the norm, pretty sure Bitcoin won't be it though as imo it will be something sanctioned and fully controlled by the powers that be. What Bitcoin is doing is highlighting to them some of the many possible flaws of such an enterprise. Will Bitcoin survive? I'm sure it will for a while yet although confidence in it must have taken a big hit over the last few weeks even for those with plenty of skin in that particular game and it's that confidence or lack thereof that in the short to medium term may well end up deciding it's fate. The most important thing Bitcoin has highlighted for me personally is how public sentiment toward the acceptance of such a digital currency is slowly changing over time. I can only hope that the pace of that acceptance remains slow so I can see out my final years without any such introduction. Norm Report this Post to the Staff

UltraRant Pillar of the Community Norway 1358 Posts	Posted 07/21/2016 10:02 am Oh, but there are many bitcoin tokens around - and possibly a few with errors too! Just look here for a few samples: https://news.bitcoin.com/three-phys...coin-tokens/ I'm not going to collect these tokens, though. I'm already having a hard time getting my current sets completed. ps. Thanks for reviving this Little Briar Rose thread. Edited by UltraRant 07/21/2016 10:05 am Report this Post to the Staff
