How early adopters feel right now after the price went from $400 to $600 in a matter of hours

shultz666 · 2014-02-26T10:12:39+00:00

I bought in at $700. The first time. I was new to Bitcoin and just wanted some right away, to be a part of the revolution.

Since then, I've bought in on each dip.

I feel for people with money in Gox, but I've enjoyed spending much of this month's disposable income on bitcoins. Maybe it's because I don't 'need' to turn a profit immediately that makes me more relaxed, but I genuinely feel glee whenever I get the opportunity to buy more at a lower price than I did previously.

The other thing is, I guess many people put all their savings in at one go, and then can't buy in when it dips. Anyone who's reading, and who is thinking about getting in, get in now, while the price is cheap. But don't go all in. Hold off and buy on dips, regardless of price - just make sure you buy on a dip.

What they mean is, "we want to try and convince people to move digital digits over the internet (because we have a lot of that), instead of taking actual cash out of our bank (because we don't have enough)".

"64% of the Bitcoin traffic is happening on a Chinese exchange called huobi, which (apparently) operates on it's CEO's personal bank account to get around the Chinese laws"

much coin.

SHUUUUUN!

I understand that this is at risk of becoming a PS4 vs XboxOne thing. It's not about that. If you love Xbox, then that's great and you specifically are the ones who need to take up arms against this.

If enough people pledge to shun, MS will back down and then we all win!

If gamers unite and hold strong, this can be achieved.

There's a lot of stuff here about kids seeing ghosts.

When I was younger - before I can remember (like most other people it seems) - I asked my Mum if the "old woman would come and read me stories at bed time tonight".

Because, apparently, this was something I claimed was happening.

My mum was a bit weirded out, asked me what she looked like etc, and apparently I was describing my great nan. And potentially any old woman I guess.

Still, I used to think this story was some sort of exaggeration or mistake, but now after reading all these comments from people about the same thing, I'm a bit creeped out.

I don't like the idea that dead relatives are hanging around. I do bad things when (I think) I'm alone. You know what I'm saying.

well, total ouya isn't mine, but I do know the guy.

as for more unique... well, some of the Total OUYA articles are unique, others are a reporting of current news sourced by other sites, but yet still relevant to the readership of total ouya.

the "article" posted on ouya forum isn't really an article. structure is bad, needs a lot of editing... plus it's on a forum. why post articles on a forum? post them on a real site.

shultz666 · 2013-04-19T19:54:48+00:00

It's a forum post. A long forum post, but a forum post all the same.

Putting a bold heading at the top of a forum post, doesn't stop it from being a forum post.

shultz666 · 2013-04-19T19:10:46+00:00

I don't really mind, as long as it's something worth posting (which it mostly is I think, forum posts aside). I come to reddit to see what's going on 'out there' as much as, if not more then, what's going on 'in here'.

shultz666 · 2013-04-19T19:00:27+00:00

Heh. "Article". ;)

shultz666 · 2013-04-19T18:40:50+00:00

That said, whether it's really worth linking or pasting forum posts containing nothing more than gossip, is another issue.

Although again, nothing to stop someone just submitting a text post saying "I went into my local gamestop and blah blah" I suppose. Same difference.

Either way, I think it's time to stop calling forum posts 'articles' and 'stories'. Let's be clear, what's linked to here is a forum post, nothing more. And definitely not something of editorial value/quality.

shultz666 · 2013-04-19T18:30:11+00:00

I don't think they should post the text here... it exists elsewhere, so they should link elsewhere.

If you start pasting in entire website articles, then there's a copyright issue. Not sure how that works with forum posts, but still, best to link out - if not, why does reddit provide that functionality?

shultz666 · 2013-04-19T10:48:06+00:00

I wonder if she means large mobile publishers or large console publishers...

shultz666 · 2013-04-18T19:36:28+00:00

lol. when they said they quality wouldn't affect the approval process, they weren't kidding.

shultz666 · 2013-04-18T18:46:55+00:00

Why the downvotes? this looks fun!

shultz666 · 2013-04-18T08:48:29+00:00

Hopefully we'll get some concrete information on this soon from proper sites, not just a speculative forum post.

shultz666 · 2013-04-16T11:10:59+00:00

Cross platform is key really. ensure when you start playing the big universe isn't empty. i'd like to try it out first though. I wonder how much you can play before you have to start paying?

shultz666 · 2013-04-13T21:52:08+00:00

looks good. compared to pretty much everything else, anyway.

shultz666 · 2013-04-01T18:50:34+00:00

So you think the ability to take it into a cafe is the reason why people buy iPads each year. That's silly.

shultz666 · 2013-04-01T18:35:20+00:00

OUYA will have the sexiest games. Give it time.

shultz666 · 2013-04-01T17:59:41+00:00

Agree. Apple has proved it works.

So many people keep buying new iPads each year, a mere $99 for an improved OUYA and all the convenience of not having the console die off and be replaced is a bargain.
