in china big cities including shanghai, foreigners cannot by real estate period. citizens can only buy 1 property to be used as primary residence, no investment / 2nd home can be purchased. Mortgage is 25% down payment minimum. and the real estate market is still red hot even with those...

wow just hit cnbc, mtgox and dwolla(money transfer service for mtgox) raided by the feds, account seized by dhs. Hope noone left anything in mtgox, think i have a few cents in there :p

yes they are, those guys are out of their depth and dont have the intellect to hire a real team to build the platform. When mtgox first started it was using mostly javascripts and form submits as a trading system, absolute joke. Said this many times, if we have a stable well executed...

lol yeah pretty much, like buying virtual goods in those mmorpg(online games). That was a very old quote right around the time mtgox got going, it's the reason i built my own hardware to mine instead of buying from the market- because there was no place to transact and i wanted to own some btc...

Check bitcointalk.org forum, but you are way too late to the game. -------------- The good news from all this chaos is it looks like there are a few serious attempts to build a stable exchange in the works, to replace the joke that is mtgox.

hits $250+ then hits ~$100...in 1 day. :eek: total volume dollar wise is still minuscule at ~$20m, wonder if mtgox itself is manipulating their own exchange. wild west x 100

lol never thought i would see the day atticus buys some bitcoins. Yeah i never leave anything in mtgox, always transfer out asap. That shop is(was?) just a bunch of kids in the basement, their site got killed/hacked so many times in the past, you have no recourse if they take or lose your...

atticus i cant tell if you are being sarcastic or serious, did you really put some money into bitcoin? at what $ level if dont mind.

1.5 billion is still very impressive for essentially a few bits of data not backed by government, military, gold, or anything...

speechless, just hit $140... wish there is a reliable way to short this without unrealistic counterparty risk, but then if i shorted it at $100 would got my *** handed to me. holy cow...who on earth is buying this at $140?

It's peer to peer, noone can shut it down. Also the US govt can make it illegal for us-based companies to accept it as currency but it will be very difficult to make it illegal to transact bitcoin. It would be the same as making collecting bottle caps or stamps illegal, as there is no copyright...

bitcoin close to $90, better backup my usb dongle, this thing is worth some good cash now. I admit never imagined it will hit $90 this fast, nuts. Kicking myself for selling a large chunk at $15 just 6 months back. http://www.cnbc.com/id/100597242

will it play angry bird?

loaded about $60k worth of aapl in my ira at around $425. long 100x shares + 1x 2015 270C

bitcoin is at $40+ now, all doubters suck it :p the downside is my miner's coin generation rate has slowed significantly, as everyone and their mothers jump in the mining game making the hashrate to uncover 1 bitcoin much higher than before. https://mtgox.com

Nope, android and its eco system is a gigantic pile of mess. agreed apple map suck but google map is back on iphone.

You are missing the software - ios is exclusive to apple/iphone and plays a significant part. No matter how cheap & nicer the competition hardware is, they are still limited by android, nothing else can run ios.... rimm did not die because of price, they died because of software & poor ui...

<0.01% excluding the military. Even cops do not carry guns unless responding to a special situation. ----------- The simple fact is a knife is much less efficient than guns to kill people given the same condition & situation, that is undebatable. The tragedy in china is one of many examples...

one of my tenant works there, hope he can still pay the rent, **** software bugs happen, i just dont get how they dont have a separate monitoring process in place to trigger the killswitch, especially since it's part of your core business. If you need to wait until the exchange to tells you...

haha nice.... i would never buy bitcoins, it's just a cool experiment. My mining rig been running great after i switched to linux last year havent even looked at it since. Whenever it mines a bitcoin it just sends it to my digital wallet. I will just let it run until it dies. So far...
