DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Hell I checked what 1 bitcoin was going for the same day and it was like 9500 bucks its now up to 10600 something.

 

Yep, saw that too!

Yea, it is kinda weird, but it works.

Was like 7k last week or so...

 

how much did you buy?

 

Not a lot with it being so much now, but enough to feel comfortable with.

Thinking about buying a Litecoin though and holding it for a while.

 

So people just keep creating new stuff and calling it "valuable"?

Essentially, new forms of gold?

 

Digital currency has taken off recently due to all the variations of ransomware, which is also why there are variations of digital currency also. Bitcoin used to be anonymous but now it can be tracked, so people came up with another form that can not be tracked...

 

Basically but it does has my interest, think of it this way you are basically giving someone 100 bucks for them to hand you back .01 bitcoin.

 

Take a look at Etherum. That really the next best to bitcoin.

Also take a look at dogecoin
http://dogecoin.com/

 

I dont really care about bitcoin so lets not

 

Essentially, but is something that constantly changes.

Also this, but when Amazon is even considering accept BTC as a form of Payment... it becomes pretty interesting.

Yes, and that .01 BTC could be sold 6 months later for $400 instead of $100

If you want to get into BTC and use Coinbase, here is a link to use to sign up, after you purchase $100 of coin, it will give you another $10 worth, so basically makes your first trade fee free, and also gives me $10 of BTC as well.

Yea, thought about Etherum, but was thinking Litecoin as I could buy a single coin of it for sub $100 and just hold onto it for a while.

Dogecoin, that is the very first thing I remember hearing about it honestly waaaaaay back then.

I should have gotten into BTC back then man...

 

Is this going to turn into a RC thing as well?

Meeeeeh

 

Uh oh, we're almost to a third page about cryptocurrency. Careful, people don't like looking at 3 pages of the same subject....

Anyone interested in going to the Boardwalk Ferrari Toy Run before the meet next week?

ha, this guy... jokes!

 

@Crash721 @Beef Nachos

Just come to that thread if you want to talk more about it.

 

In all honesty its a solid tech. The concept of the blockchain is great. If using it for currency then it allows for a currency thats not based on any one country. Also that its the first digital exchange that doesnt rely on a central authority. Meaning I can give you a BTC with out (over simplification) anyone knowing that we made the transaction and it keeps from people duping records. (i.e. I give you a BTC, but I hack it show I still show I kept the BTC). More complicated that that but its a very high level approach. As long as people deem it valuable its as good as the dollar. The problem at this point, is that banks and other countries forms of currency don't want to see that happen, which is why its so unstable at the moment.

 

For all you 2nd gen guys, Looks like you may get an option for tuning the engine soon

 

Ill be there

 

I've been following that thread. Still really waiting to see some results after the tune. I would have to see a big improvement for me to consider buying it. I can understand on the 3rd gens, because i just did not care for the powerband and auto trans shifting.

 

And since when did a B.S. thread get locked down to any one subject. Im not into RC but I dont care if you guys talk about it. Pretty sure we all should be able to talk about what ever we want be it RC's, Bitcoin, rubber dicks with googly eyes or what ever floats your boat.
