Bitcoin Forum

Someone should make a watch/braclet or a LCD you can hang from a chain that shows the amount of bitcoins you have.  That would be sweet.  I don't have the time to put this on kickstarter or anything, but please some do and give me a shout out.  This is great bling, without having to buy stupid diamonds or anything.  And no-one is gonna rob you at gun point with this bling.

Is it specially scented? Or bullet proof/kevlar?

Reminds me of the fill "In Time" displaying how long they have to live on their wrist. I think it's a good idea. However, I believe not many people would want to be waving that around. Firstly because it makes their home & computer a target to thieves and many people are uncomfortable showing how much money they have.

I wouldn't say criminals wouldn't point a gun at you. I'm sure they would if they knew it would get you to open your computer and give them the Bitcoin. This is a very dangerous piece of kit and could cause a lot of trouble. But, on the other hand, so is carrying cash and waving cash around. So, I don't see too much of a problem. But, you certainly aren't exempt from criminals.

I love the idea. Let me give my baseball bat a particularly good shine in anticipation.

This could cause huge problems

Same can be said of people wearing $100k earnings or other jewelry.  At the club you want people to know how rich you are.  Any amount of risk is worth picking up hot chicks.  I'd feel a lot safer with a $200 necklace showing that I have 100k bitcoins than a $100k diamond chain around my neck.  What do you think is riskier? I'm not suggesting everyone do this, but it's a great way to be a baller without having to hire extra security. 

Wow! I had no idea that such attitudes existed outside of the fantasy world of TV and movies.

I'll admit to being shallow, I have no problems with that.  I can pick up chicks with my good looks, gamerscore, and breakdancing skills, but many people pay money to look good.  Why does a handbag cost $50,000?  Why do some cars cost 10k while other a mil?  People buy expensive stuff to impress people.  I don't want to get into the moral aspects of this, but people buy stuff to show that they're richer than the next guy.

This is a great way to show that you're richer than the next guy, but you don't actually have to buy anything and it's not physically on you.  I guess bank of america could also come up with a necklace too.  It would just be a lot cooler if it were bitcoins.  Also you would have to make it so you couldn't copy the necklace and you couldn't put a fake number up, but that's a given.  All that stuff can be worked out.
