bit¢oin$

unless of course they're planning on co-opting/charging all of the bitcoin exchanges based on the strength of their patent

Also looks like Chase is just developing their own proprietary bitcoin

yeah i mean they had a meeting and a guy was like maybe one day we want to build our own bitcoin or sue bitcoin or something and another guy was like sure ok send it over to legal

u never bitcoin

Bitcoin back up to $1000, dump and pump in full effect.

that chase thing makes me thing of labels fucking about with bittorrent distribution and not doing anything with it

lord help

I hope this turns out like early-mid-stage internet, where every company will suddenly have consultants telling them they need "bitcoin presence" and they'll come up with all these pointless uses of bitcoin-like technologies. Like Kellogs will come out with FrostedCoins where you get like .25-cent value secure virtual coupons for more frosted flakes that you have to go through an arduous process to redeem.

(Vague uniformed speculation:)

Well Facebook just killed their own currency (Credits), which was basically that idea, trying to trap more cash within the platform (equivalent of gift cards, most of which are never redeemed, hence they keep the money).

Afaik the JPM/Chase scheme is intended as a payment system to compete with Visa et al, applicable to the real world and not just discounts within a closed trade loop. Duplicate a currently open-source thing, build out an infrastructure for it, take ownership of it (a la Microsoft or any number of tech giants), presto - they are the new Visa/Paypal/Western Union. Could see savings accounts at Chase offering higher rates in that currency, etc as an initial incentive to get people in door (like offering $500 for opening an account today). They might even push it as an investment/speculation vehicle in itself. Unlike Bitcoin Chase exists in the material world and has offices, advertising, etc, so can push it hard if need be. Big challenge with Bitcoin as it stands is converting back into $ - not as much of a problem given a vast chain of brick and mortar banks

thx for the bitcoin how do I cash it?

3 reasons bitcoins aren't in your wallet yet

hit me up on powwow for bc2$

first thing if i understand correctly you have to build a wallet out of an old computer or something then you print them out and put them in there or something

basically make a new desktop folder, double-click on the folder name and type 'wallet'. insert the spinning bitcoin .gif into the wallet. happy mining!

Thanks am0n, just made my first bitcoin

http://media02.hongkiat.com/bitcoin-questions/bitcoin-miner.jpg

no no no. a bit coin is a long string of letters, numbers and symbols. just start typing randomly and break the resulting strings into longish pieces, then copy those into the folder named 'wallet'. as simple as that.

theres many alternate mining methods, like this one:

http://siliconangle.com/files/2013/01/bitcoin-hand-drop.jpg

that's risky though because each bitcoin has a unique id, so you risk typing a string someone else has already typed. To avoid that, use http://www.bitcoinstringchecker.com

If the bitcoin string is already taken, e.g. "1-2-3-STEVE-O!" it will even suggest other, non-taken strings, e.g. 1-2-3-STEVE-O!7826r*n&llp1

this has potential for IRE

Just made another bitcoin. Up to 1.5 now

what makes bitcoin so secure is that it's like way too many letters and numbers for anyone to remember in their head, or even to write down without messing up!

+/u/bitcointip 1 btc verify

They tried to get that upper hand, but instead, it looks like Mickey Mouse making a Pluto shadow.

To the poster known as "乒乓",

I am a professional investor in the United States interested in adding bitcoin currency to my portfolio. If you ever become interested in selling your bitcoins (I understand you have 1.5 as of December 10, 2013) please contact me at bitcoinbu✧✧✧@ya✧✧✧.c✧✧

Thank you.

927 People Own Half Of All Bitcoins

http://static3.businessinsider.com/image/52a74254eab8eacb2266bfa7-828-454/bitcoin%20pie%20ownershp.png

And here's what that means in terms of ownership: those same 47 people each own at least $10 million-worth of Bitcoins. The mean net worth may be much higher. Another 880 individuals each own at least $1 million-worth of Bitcoin. About a million people own $10,000 or less worth.

Bitcoin is anonymous, so we don't know who all the 47 individuals are — though some, like the Winklevoss twins and Roger Ver, have publicly identified themselves.

Bottom line: Bitcoin has made a fraction of people very rich. And then there's the rest of us.
