If you spending 40k on porn, then there's a bridge I got to sell you. :troll:





But I don't think you can buy much with bitcoin. Just gotta sell it back for dollars. It's like a stock.

Well, the reason I ask is because when I see people argue the legitimacy of BTC one of the things they highlight is that more and more retailers are taking it as a form of payment. But is anyone spending BTC at this point? And most of the alt coins don't seem to have any mainstream penetration as far as currency use is concerned. So now my question is two fold; the value of BTC as a currency compared to speculative tool (buying an iPhone X, for example, with BTC would be a fraction of a bitcoin I assume but that fraction changes everyday) and given that the other coins can't be used as currency (at this time anyway) what is backing their value besides BTC being the current viable and valued cryptocurrency?

Yeah it sounds difficult to analyze. Who knows what their planning with this? I imagine it's kind of like gold and silver. Not really official currency but still holds value. Don't know what these other coins are about or even what the future holds. It's a volatile market. I'm guessing that the people is what's backing their value.

Man WTF is wrong with Coinbase Identity verification! I take pictures of my photo ID and it just says uploading! I'm missing out man
If you're still having problems try sending them an email. I was trying to get verified for 3 days with no luck but some hours after I sent the email I got verified.

just learned what a pump and dump was, but fukk it. if that's what they did I can't even hate. it's not illegal at this point so they took advantage:ehh:.....gotta make money any way you can in this country. shyt, if we were high rolling like that i'd be willing to organize something like that so we all could eat :yeshrug:......i'm just more curious as to how this will effect the real value of the coin. or if this was only one wave and another is coming.
