BITCOIN as an alternative to regular currency

[Dallas]

a new high

Crazy that over the weekend it lose 20% of its value and now has regained it in just as many days

[weemac]

I've read a few press stories recently of lost/thrown away/forgotten passwords which mean hundreds of millions worth of bitcoin are lost forever. One guy has used 9 of his 10 attempts to retrieve $240 million of coins. Another hid his in a fishing rod which was thrown away while he was in jail. There must be loads of folk in similar situations.

I heard that $240m one the other day (if it was the web guy paid in BC several years ago for some work), at the time he had used 8 attempts at the time.

What a sickening feeling it must be

I remember years ago signing up for some crypto currency that gave out $15 worth for signing up, can't for the life of me remember which one it was now. Got some for me and my kids, just have to hope it was one of the ones that bombed as there were loads of them around about 8 years ago.

Yes, it was him (8 out of 10 he's used). Another programmer tweeted him saying he'll unlock it for 10%. Would you trust some random on twitter??

Not when Twitter is made up of 90% nut jobs

I had an EA that was successful for a while with CMC and MT4. But nothing in the last few months.

CMC have always been good for me!

Took a look.

Most of these platforms encourage CFD's and in some cases will expect you to take a leveraged position. Fine if you're on the right side, but a bank-buster if it goes the other way, even if by a small amount.

Another one I remember a few years back.

a new high

$38k.... that's a disaster waiting to happen.

The perfect setup.

Crash Bitcoin, replace it with a centralised, global digital currency.

Controlled by the few at the expense of the many.

Replace ICX with Bitcoin...the mentality is people prefer to buy @ $5 and not 0.50c...

Could also come to this too......
