Re: Bitcoin giveaway! :)
Can you collect on unemployment if you're not laid off and aren't actively searching for work?

Yes. I'll be unemployed, but not fired and pretending to look for work. That's the exact criteria.moda0306 wrote: Can you collect on unemployment if you're not laid off and aren't actively searching for work?
You don't have to look for work. I was on unemployment when I left the Army 12 years ago. You just click a button online every two weeks saying you looked for work and they send you a check.

Well, .... so much for Bitcoin issues.
Re: Bitcoin giveaway! :)
Anything new going on with them? Price seems to be bouncing between $600-$700. I saw the alleged creator is denying that he had anything to do with them and that Bitcoin exchange CEO...umm....committed suicide. Any thoughts on any of that?HB Reader wrote: Well, .... so much for Bitcoin issues.

Yeah, the price seems to be bumping along just a little above $600.Kshartle wrote:Anything new going on with them? Price seems to be bouncing between $600-$700.

I don't think the outing of Satoshi Nakamoto (if Newsweek is indeed correct), the failure of Mt Gox, or the CEO suicide (of which I know next to nothing) will have much longer term impact one way or another on BTC. I suspect it will eventually either succeed or fail for substantive reasons that are more directly related to its viability.
As I mentioned before, why anyone would have left any large BTC balances at Mt Gox is puzzling. Some of the primary attractions of BTC are that you can transfer it quickly and easily and store it safely at home. It was clear many months ago that Mt Gox had problems.
Here is a Washington Post article on BTC from Sunday's edition:

The volatility of this "currency" is worse than that of tech stocks ...

Re: Bitcoin giveaway! :)
Has anyone been spending their bitcoins? I saw a show last night with Morgan Spurlock, called Inside Man, in which he attempts to live on bitcoins for a while. It was on Netflix, season 3.
It was surprising how many places are starting to accept bitcoins. The show got me fired up to use my bitcoins, and maybe even buy some more. Marc was so generous in giving us a little bit to try it out, thanks again!

Re: Bitcoin giveaway! :)
That really was generous of Marc, especially since he was optimistic about their rise in value.
I haven't spent mine, but I think of this thread every time the topic of bitcoins come up.
And, just least week I was going through an old folder and came upon a printout of my long password for my fraction of a bitcoin.

If you were unable to log into Bitwarden today around 3:30pm EST, you’re not alone. (May 6) That was brief, but unsettling.

Ive routinely gotten 20%+ off purchases on amazon using purse.io. Check it out.The show got me fired up to use my bitcoins, and maybe even buy some more.
Coinbase has a bitcoin debit card (Visa) that lets you spend your bitcoin pretty much anywhere. You can read more about it here https://blog.coinbase.com/2015/11/20/in ... hift-card/

Re: Bitcoin giveaway! :)
Any bitcoins left for a giveaway? Wanna try.
Re: Bitcoin giveaway! :)
ProShares has filed to offer Short Bitcoin ETF. Not sure of timing. Might be interesting to take the other side of the trade, but it could be like catching lightning in a jar.

If it is like the other derivative bitcoin products, they have daily swing limits at 20% or so and no actual bitcoin are involved.ochotona wrote:ProShares has filed to offer Short Bitcoin ETF.

Seems like it is just two guys flipping a coin to see who wins that day.
Re: Bitcoin giveaway! :)
Actually...if you can stand the boredom and stress of sitting in front of a computer screen all day, volatility like Bitcoin is exhibiting right now can be easy money (but it’s not fun money).

It’s been quite a journey. In 2015, Austin Heller asked if anyone was spending their (fractional) coin gift.
Thanks to generous help from bitcoininthevp, I was finally able to re-access mine yesterday evening after a long period of dormancy and seed words that weren’t yielding anything. Of course, it was technical glitches that kept me from cashing out when my wallet’s contents were worth a tenth of what they were last night.
I immediately ordered some (fractional) gold with a vendor that takes bitcoin just so that i know i’m not dreaming. The payment was acknowledged about a ½ hour later. I usually use a paper check, so that was good.
The whole point of Marc de Mesel’s giveaway was to spark an interest in crypto. He’s still out there doing his thing on twitter, youtube and elsewhere. BCH, read.cash and all kinds of stuff.
I haven’t really made up my mind about cryptocurrencies, but I think I’m going to hold on to the remaining coin. I’ve got a sliver of ethereum via an etf and if I buy anything else it’ll be via PayPal, which I now like. That’s enough for me.
