that seems like a pretty good scam, brb, buying a few grand in bitcoins

buy low sell high breh

then dump enough of your stock to tank the market considerably and make people rush, then buy up more of them. rinse, repeat

what could go wrong

idk, people do this in Diablo 3 all the time

yo... anybody wanna trade some bitcoins

i have a 2010 silver bitcoin stashed in case everything goes 'the road'

oh nice... i missed out on the reservation list for those... still kicking myself...

i'm trying to remember if i heard of these before today.

I've been wondering a lot whether it would be possible to create a bitcoin that didn't have a fixed supply, like that self-expanded and contracted its supply according to some kind of algorithms/data. IDK what that would be based on, production in the economy? Value of transactions in Bitcoin?

There could be a long-running thing but such algorithmic finds are hard to balance. You could make a central bank, encode arbitrary strings, and award tokens to whoever decrypts them. That is usually a product of chance rather than a known unit of work, though.

wow

this is as good as sports tbh

The most you can lose if Bitcoins go to zero is 100% of your money.

The most you can make, meanwhile ...

Well, no one knows exactly how much you can make.

But it's probably a lot more than 100%.

lol agreed. schadenfreude at its finest xp

the CEO of Business Insider

"I've always estimated the final price of a Bitcoin at between $10,000 - $1,000,000 maybe 5-10 years from now. The low end being based on the size and volume of Western Union, PayPal, Visa/MasterCard. And the high end being based on the total global gold supply."

like if the last bitcoin mined caused all the bitcoins to dissipate, and then a message flashed on everyone's computer screens, and "peace on earth" was all it said

be excellent.

and then it cuts to a man in a top hat with a twirly moustache, sitting at his computer, and steam shoots out of his ears

The price of Bitcoins has plunged more than 75% in the past two days, sparking a rush of activity that overwhelmed trading platforms and suggested the bubble in the virtual currency has burst.
Bitcoins were down to $61.11 as of 9 a.m. ET Friday. Prices reached as high as $266 per Bitcoin around 7:30 a.m. ET Wednesday. But the price started to fall through the rest of day and Thursday morning.
