Business tip only for my HA friends - buY bitcoins

[GroobySteven]

I sold 1 of mine, which covered approx. 6 times more than what I got them for - and will sit on the rest for a punt.

around 2013, i bought my mom $100 of bitcoin. she had a hard time understanding the blockchain and didn't like the instability of the currency so a few months later she wanted to sell her coins. i decided to buy them back. this was right before the mtgox fiasco happened. anyone remember that?

over the years i sold a couple, mined a couple, then kept the rest in cold storage and now sitting on what has become, a pretty sweet sum of dough. what i don't really like though is the fork that happened in august (i'm already at 15GB just keeping up with todays block) and the next hardfork is going up in november 13th.

and is anyone trading? because if you are, i'm sure you noticed the company that just traded 1000BTC on bitfinex this morning. that was (to put it mildly) a clinic in money making. i think even fan bao was blushing when he saw that go down

Just bought Naga coin which is being offered in an IPO.
Might want to look into it - pre-booking now, they have a lot of backing.

Use my code :-p

you would cash them out on an exchange. Usually for BTC or ETH pairing. The exchange is unknown until ICO is complete.

The latest on moves in the UK and Europe to begin controlling aspects of the BITcoin scam-
The UK and other EU governments are planning a crackdown on bitcoin amid growing concerns that the digital currency is being used for money laundering and tax evasion.

The Treasury plans to regulate bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to bring them in line with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financial legislation. Traders will be forced to disclose their identities, ending the anonymity that has made the currency attractive for drug dealing and other illegal activities.

Under the EU-wide plan, online platforms where bitcoins are traded will be required to carry out due diligence on customers and report suspicious transactions.
The new rules are expected to come into effect next year.

"BITcoin scam"

What scam?

[Stavros]

Bitcoin may not be illegal, but it is used for illegal transactions, and is thus morally a scam. It is debatable as to how much Bitcoin is used in genuine transactions and how much is used to speculate, or to launder money, or to pay for illegal goods. Either way its days are numbered.
