It's been 8 years of false predictions, so at some point, people are just going to have to accept the fact hthere's a new and more modern way to conduct financial transactions. It's obviously working, and working well.
Is bitcoin due for a price correction? I personally think so, but I was just recently proven quite wrong, so so much for predictions. I was personally freaking out when it hit 360,000 baht, and it now seems to be holding steady at around 520,000, so obviously I was wrong.
I can easily see a price correction in the future, but bitcoin isn't going anywhere, nor is it going to drop back down to like 2000 baht again. I know many like to compare it to tulip mania, but that's simply not accurate. That's dismissing the literally millions of man hours and countless amounts of money that have went into turning bitcoin into what it is today. It's here to stay.
I know scotty disapproves asking for Matt's medical records; I certainly don't need his psychiatric records

Re: Sex drugs and Bitcoin
What's so crazy about what I said, exactly? Just because it doesn't fit your personal world view doesn't make it crazy.
Again,it's been 8 years, and bitcoin has come out on top each time. At some point, you're going to need to accept bitcoin as a new medium to conduct financial transactions. It's happening with or without you, so you might as well just get on board, or be left behind. Up to you.

No prizes for figuring out that we are not talking about 3 separate entities here.
So who are you accusing of not being a separate entity here and thereby questioning his "actual existence"?

Re: Sex drugs and Bitcoin
heh, even Brad decided to chime in.
Remember a447, you even picked a fight with Brad before? He's one of the most upstanding members of this forum, so to be able to get into a fight with him is quite remarkable, but you managed to figure it out somehow.

Re: Sex drugs and Bitcoin
The question has always been whether the KK Tales were fiction or fact. So in the minds of the still-doubtful, the question remains whether the contents of the KK Tales match the real life of the writer.
Having seen the Matt/Leo photo, I am prepared to accept what Matt has written over the years. As hard as I try, however, I am not prepared to comprehend Matt's thought processes. But that's just me. No reason why Matt or anyone else should live in a way that I think makes sense.

Right, 8 years that you've been banging on about Bitcoin and how you only ever get paid that way etc. etc. so logic suggests you have to have well into the double figures of the buggers - especially as at one point you told us you were going to spend 500K THB for yourself and another 500K THB for your catamite getting a Thailand Elite visa
So here's a thought. Do let us know if you don't have the 33 Bitcoin you could use to bid for this Miami penthouse - https://www.marketwatch.com/story/mi...ted-2017-12-13. Miami is known for two things:
* it's the cocaine importing capital of the USA, so Bitcoin is a logical store of value
* it's the retirement capital of the USA, where the hookers all wear pacemakers

With bitcoin, you never have to worry about any of that.
What makes you so sure?
I assume that all electrical/digital/cashless payment methods can fail at any time (either a technical failure or on purpose by government or criminals or terrorists), and keep enough cash to get over a month.

christian, a couple of great videos. Thanks.

Re: Sex drugs and Bitcoin
Yes Christian good reminder not to be so easily fooled by beggars. Same as the guy who crawls up and down Silom at night on his chest, dragging himself along. Although I've heard both stories one that he's a fake and gets up and goes to a car later in the evening and the other that he's genuine, I'm not sure which.
But either way I think just for deciding to "work" at dragging himself along through the shitty dirty streets of Silom, complete with rats aplenty everywhere and people tripping over him the guy definitely earns his money no matter whether he's genuinely disabled or not !

No, because there is no single point of failure within the bitcoin network. The processing network is distributed across tens of thousands of computers / servers across the world.
The only real worry is that it's not backed by a government, hence isn't considered legal tender anywhere. The only reason bitcoin currently has value is because people have decided it has value. It's not backed by any land, natural resources, military, and so on though. That's bitcoin's largest vulnerability.

Re: Sex drugs and Bitcoin
Serious question Matt - so from the little I know ( almost nothing) about Bitcoin I think I read that you ( anyone) stores their bitcoin in a basically a online folder ( wallet) but for security reasons the smart thing to do is to save the separately offline on say a portable hard drive etc. So, does one then have an online bitcoin "account" with a user name and password etc, where you then log on, connect that hard drive and buy or trade your bitcoin then ? Is that roughly how that works ? And if so, my question then, what if that off line stand alone hard drive that you saved your bitcoin too juts simply fails ( as hard drives are known to do from time to time) - do you / can you have a back up copy or is there some form or written down numbers somewhere that you would print off in case of such an emergency that would allow you still to trade and ensure you haven't lost all your bitcoin etc ??

Re: Sex drugs and Bitcoin
Bitcoin is one of two subjects I regularly try to fully understand but can't. The other is Chinese history from 1937 to 1949. Simply too complex.

Re: Sex drugs and Bitcoin
@NIrish -- If you're thinking of getting into bitcoin, by no means use an online web wallet. Download for example Electrum, and create your own wallet. Electrum will give you a private key that looks something like:
------
xprv9uLTx27spgZJdqXogmUiHUm4XgWFxcc2zRki9A9aWur8vB 5hj3micsEd4VvJM4G3jsGPMRbi9HGJHs5mXE6crtGd25xGDP28 XjyuXjS96YD
------
Think of that as basically the PIN code to your bank card. That's all you need, and you will always have full access to your funds. However, it's your responsibility to keep it secure and protected, as if you lose it, there is no bank to call. You just simply lose the money.
As long as you keep that private key, then that money is probably far more secure than in a traditional bank account. Nobody can touch it -- not any bank, government, nothing. It's yours.

His "poly-amorous" relations with men in New York were laughable. When he tried to replicate that in Thailand, it was positively inhumane, as he attracted and then discarded several young men before planning to bring a Burmese youth to the US as his fiance. For the boy's sake I hope that never happened. I'm sure the required marriage within 90 days of arrival in the US would never have materialized and the youth would be left floundering with no legal means to remain in America. Hopefully, bruce is now spending his time as a fugitive of some sort.

I guess if the police did that to me, they'd also have access to my funds too. If the police ever decided it was best to raid me in a coffee shop though, then I think my bitcoin holdings would be the least of my worries.

I was rather thinking of a failure of communication or electricity network. A simple power outage, and you can't access your funds, be it online banking or bitcoin! I would not put or keep all my money in bitcoin, I spread it over several banks (through work and holiday even in several countries) and keep a lot of cash.
General note: is there anything man-made that never failed? Ships sink, aircraft crash, programs malfunction, nuclear power stations get out of control, and so on. Do you remember the Titanic? Unsinkable! The Enigma code? Unbreakable!

I would not rely on that. Even the Swiss were forced to stop anonymous bank accounts [citation needed].

Re: Sex drugs and Bitcoin
If I ever end up living somewhere without electricty / internet for a prolonged period, then gaining access to my bitcoin will probably be the least of my worries. Same as how do you pull out cash from a ATM if there's no electricity?
And there's no central authority who regulates bitcoin, hence no one to complain to or pressure to "open the books" like they did Swiss accounts. Years ago nearly every government in the world setup a committee to investigate how to regulate bitcoin, and they all came to the same conclusion -- they can't. Nobody even knows who invented bitcoin, but there's theories abound. Personally, I'm going with the NSA, but who knows.
Besides, the books are open. For example, http://blockchain.info/ -- every transaction ever made is there for your viewing pleasure.

No, bruce_nyc was banned because of the bitcoin thing.Once you have a community of people together and someone infects them with an idea to make money, that actually turns into losing money...that just smelled of liability. Of course, had we taken his advice back then...
Having said that, I see he's still a member now that this current software reactivated him when we upgraded a while back.
