Title: Bitcoin will fail, here's why
Post by: theconnellschicken on March 26, 2015, 09:11:04 PM
Tomorrow an astroid by the name ov: 2014-YB35 will hit the earth and all life as we know it will be obliterated.

It travels at 23,000 mph and the energy release is equivalent to 1500mt 30x more powerful than the tsar bomba hydrogen bomb.

You must prepare now.  Do wot ever it is you do and protect yourself if you can.

Why are you wasting your last hours of life on Bitcointalk, a forum of a dead coin? You should be drinking, having sex, praying, or something.
Now run dear chicken, if your prophecy is true tomorrow you'll be a fried chicken.  :)

Tomorrow an astroid by the name ov: 2014-YB35 will hit the earth and all life as we know it will be obliterated.

Now I predict tomorrow this thread will either be deleted or in off-topic. Want to bet which of us is right?

Funnily enough, such an scenario is literally the only one that can prevent Bitcoin from being a worldwide success, so I hope you are wrong.

@ConnellChicken Shouldnt the astroid at least be named 2015-YB35?

@Snipe85 Agree on the drinking and having sex, but since you are in the mood of making bets, im willing to make you a bet that praying doesnt help anything.  ;D

I survived Y2K and 2012, so I think this one will be quickly put in the rear view mirror.
Thanks for reminding me to party like there is no tomorrow.  :D

The name is based on when it is discovered.

This asteroid is no threat.  Just a rumor.

You have saved me a search and probably would have found nothing but doom, i can now read what you have linked and more than likely get the truth or as close to. That sounds stupidly far but in space terms it is actually quite close but yes nothing to worry about this time around. Thanks for the link.

If you guys need underground bunker to stay at during the asteroid, send me 10 btc and I will mail you a key and the location written on a map for you to find. You will be safe I promise. Just ask and I will supply the btc address!

 If said natural disaster had a widespread effect on the internet or the power supply for the internet then there would not be a bitcoin economy until it were restored.However I would venture to say that any such widespread natural disaster that were to take down the internet or powergrid would mean that the last thing on anyones mind would be how the BTC price is doing....

Has Satoshi been quietly spending coins on a wonderful space ark filled with presents and kittens to spirit us away? I guess all will be revealed very shortly. Good luck, everyone.

People profit from bad things all the time. If a significant portion of the network were to have addresses and keys that were in-effect put into indefinite storage, lost, destroyed, etc, and the internet were still accessible, would that cause a significant valuation against whatever fiat currency were the most affected negatively by a near end-of-the-world event?  :D

Actually I've missed one of these threads. It has been a while since I've seen one. This asteroid is going to skim the Earth's atmosphere, it's not going at us directly. Even if it was going at us directly, it would destroy about a single country. This is why decentralization rocks and survives this.
Such an event is not dangerous for Bitcoin as long as the asteroid doesn't wipe almost everyone on the planet, but then it won't matter anyway.

This asteroid is coming no where near Earth - it's closest approach is 11x the distance to the moon.

In that scenario even nobody would want gold lying on the floor so why blame it on bitcoin for that matter. I imagine it would be chaotic and In that last final moment people would be thinking of doing other important things than checking their wealth.

So I guess the media has done it again. I can't believe it. While I was prepping early in the morning I quickly searched the internet for the article. Turns out that I've encountered fake news.
So we're completely safe after all.

 I can get away with it Im a newb....lol

 Anyway referring to the above.
 I suppose if all the pieces fell into place you could see an increase of use/valuation over said fiat.I don't think it would be likely to happen at this time.

 I would point out the number of BTC holders who would stand to gain in such a scenario that were actually in the position to capitalize on said Fiat's demise.And also the per capita of BTC holders in said region would need to be high.Perhaps there are a significant number of holders in the US for example,however I know absolutely no one personally that currently holds or intends to hold BTC,most of the fellow Americans I meet don't even know what BTC is.And with that statement most Americans I have met would rather grab their bullets than their computer or harddrives if/when the dollar does collapse. ???
