Title: Notoriety of bitcoin Post by: grondilu on December 13, 2010, 02:46:41 AM Yeah I know it's a stupid poll, since nobody could guess that.
But I'd be curious to have an idea of how quick bitcoin users think this money could get famous. PS. I voted 2013 Title: Re: Notoriety of bitcoin Post by: chaord on December 13, 2010, 02:52:52 AM I think this is a great poll!
Title: Re: Notoriety of bitcoin Post by: FatherMcGruder on December 13, 2010, 04:01:14 AM Between 2013 and 2020, but that's me being really optimistic. Not because I think the black helicopters will come and shut Bitcoin down, but because I think that a lot of people will continue to support government backed currency. Old habits die hard.

It would be funny if he did so while sitting in judgement of the Fed as chairman. Title: Re: Notoriety of bitcoin Post by: MoonShadow on December 13, 2010, 05:01:23 AM Never. In order for the President of the United States to mention "bitcoin" before 2020, there must be a United States. When empires collapse, they also break apart. This grows more likely the older I get.

Because if he mentions bitcoin in 2011, and gets elected as PotUS in 2012, then technically the correct answer will be 2011, right ?

A mere 30 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union? Interesting. I'm not the first to suggest such a possibility, and this is a long time coming. Also, there is no evidence in the historical record that suggests that a nation as large as the US is long-term sustainable, anyway. Texas even reserves the right to secede in their statehood documents, explicitly. California is still a larger economy than Texas, but based on land mass, population or/and economic size; Texas would be at least as qualified to be a nation unto itself as half of the nations of Europe. |
