1. sha256 gets cracked
2. satoshi dumps all his coins

what else?

3. proudhon finds this thread.

I've not stayed anonymous enough. After all, block chain is forever. Ideally I'd have bought all my coins for cash and used the internet 100% from behind a private VPN.

overregulation is my main problem, as i know it will stifle growth and centralize Bitcoin's control to a few players.

I ain't got enough of them. No doubt an oldie but a goldie.

Regulation will be a green light for a wave of money to pile in. That'll no doubt dilute the original concept but it'll be a fact of life. It's also largely in the hands of a few players right now.

NSA is behind bitcoin

Satoshi is NSA

Perhaps you are not alone in suspecting this. I notice that the two countries who can and do oppose the USA the most, are the two nations whose central banks have banned Bitcoin. I would imagine that Bitcoin could be put to great use in undermining the currencies and economic systems of other countries if it were to be an innovation of the secret services.

Bitcoin crashed big time in 2011 after Gavin visited the CIA, perhaps coins being shifted to friends. Seriously suspect.

so let's assume USA knows its economy is going to collapse. What would be the most strategic move in that situation?
--- Bring all the others down with them!

Bitcoin does it very well. Not to mention that FBI already has quite a load of bitcoins. It can even be part of the NWO. The suspicious aspect is that I don't see any bad things related to NWO coming with cryptocurrencies.

(Ok, I stole that second one from this list: http://www.dorkly.com/article/26731/the-nine-greatest-nerd-fears-today)

eh wot!?

Wot about a completely cashless society, with every transaction going on ledger, with them controlling the value of the currency and each citizen being allowed one and only one wallet which they are allocated along with their global subject ID number?

Think that Bitcoin couldn't be turned into that?

SHA256 broken??

dont act like its gonna happen

if its a time question when SHA256 gets broken then who the fuck would invest even a penny if it wasnt for profit?

Because maybe it is a time question and t = 10000 years.  Problem?

Actually I've already thought about that scenario too. Let's say Bitcoin gets approved by governments but only Bitcoin and you must verify your addresses with your ID to some government officials. If at any point money comes to your addresses from unknown sources then you must either explain where that money came from (pay taxes/go to jail) or give it away to the government. Sending money to unknown (off the legal grid) addresses also needs explanation.

Operating with off-the-legal-grid BTC addresses can then be monitored with conventional NSA methods and if they discover you doing so then you will go to jail.

1. My bike getting stolen, It would be the 6th Bike in a year, I maybe do live in the bike theft capital of the world though....
2. Sponge cake, mostly pink sponge makes me fearful though.
3. John Mongrel
4. strobe lights
5. my electric bill

Fear?
let me check the Hodls dictionary ... one second ...
nop we don't have it
 

Girls.

Never again I will ride a conventional bike... Been kickbiking for 2 years already and it's the second best thing after Bitcoin that has happened to me.

You mean to tell me you ride a child's push bike?

+ 1

you must live in eugene oregon. thats the bike stealing capital of the world, did you know that many top brand bike locks claim they will replace your bike if stolen anywhere but eugene?

edit: oh an my main fear is that ill lose the friends who i couldnt convince to buy bitcoin, i watch their bitterness grow every time we hang out =)

also i fear for the safety of my coins and my computers exploding and my bitcoins being gone forever, or my coins otherwise being stolen

I live in Amsterdam, I doubt Eugene Oregon could begin to  compare with the amount of bikes used here.


some random numbers for you:

 In 2006, there were about 1,000,000 bicycles in Amsterdam

 in 2005, about 54,000 bicycles were stolen and every year between 12,000 and 15,000 bicycles are retrieved from the canals

only faggots sit on some sharp saddle between their ass crack squashing their balls. is that what you were asking for with that question? don't be that guy who ridicules innovation, you're on a wrong forum for that. try that kickbike and then come say your opinion. I have used a bicycle a lot in past thus my opinion has value while yours is purely based on prejudice.

What do you do when you're going uphill? Or do you just wheel it up and then ride back down the other side?

ok your correct. haha but heres the best part, eugene only has 157,000 people, and they regularly make the top 10 lists for bike theft. id say on a per capita basis its nuts... i know people with attics full of stolen bikes and rooms wall to wall with stolen bikes hahahaha. im sorry ya lost so many bikes, not tryin to be a one upper or anything, i honestly thought ya lived here an i was gonna offer to take ya to a "bike store" =)

My comment was meant in Jest as is this thread(i assume) and the comments i made earlier, all in Jest.  

Now that you mention it I actually mostly cycle while standing on my pedals, I am quite tall and it is just comfier on my knees and yes it is comfier on the crotch area.  oh and i like to tower over everyone ;p

I have ridden a push bike before, as i think most people have, i may not have ridden one since i was about 4 years old but a push bike is a push bike, you can add gears to it and fancy brake pads but it is just a push bike.

Now how do you cycle up hill as someone else asked?

Also you generally don't sit on a sharp saddle when cycling a bike  ???

Nice derail, and yeah that roller sure makes you look like an idiot.

Why? It has all the disadvantages of a bike and of a roller, you can't carry it as easily and you are limited in propulsion. I would feel less stupid riding a segway than this.

This would absolutely devastate me also.


It's actually my wife's reaction when she sees the next one that has me staying up all night scared as hell. I just fired up a new scrypt miner and we live in Kalifornia with $0.34/kWh rates....

765.   That people will laugh at my off-road big-wheel scooter.

9,548.  That PRISM is a red herring, and the NSA's giant data center is actually a rainbow table for bitcoin private keys.

9,549 - 10,000. Girls.

I get charged about 0.25 euro cent per kWh, so i really do feel your pain.

I actually moved into a new place when i started mining, direct debit set up for monthly payments for normal household use.
It's basically like taking a Loan from the electric company for a year until they come take my meter reading and make me pay up.
By the time i actually have to pay hopfully BTC is worth more. All the electricity i used when mining with Avalon machines certainly does not not equate the same amount of bitcoin to pay now as it did then ;)

i lol´d.

i lol´d hard.

6. A virus getting into my computer forcing me to format and lose every single coin in there

i am concerned about the long term impact of evolution in decryption technology. i want to believe, but i cannot foresee a situation where sha 256 won't be broken at some point. all BTC mined in what, 2140, and we really think sha 256 will be around then? i dont think so.

how do we address this problem?

Why would they need to, since BTC is THEir invention? (my fear  :o)

Those are not fears that exist in every Bitcoiner's mind, but only in the mind of the paranoid schizophrenics on this forum.

Um, paper wallets?

That deflation just creates perpetual pumps and dumps and that there will never be stability enough for true merchant adoption.

That Dogecoin will surpass Bitcoin in market cap.

 :o

I cant buy BTC @ 10$ anymore!

BTC goes to $0

BTC doesn't go above $10k

Something in this thread gets confirmed.

EC getting cracked is the worst possible thing. It would be game over.

My biggest fear:

DOGEcoin and Catcoin getting featured on the Oprah Winfrey Network before Bitcoin.

Bearish for Bitcoin but

BULLISH FOR DOGE

well you can see what they are doing there - any old half whit who watches Oprah most likely has no clue of the network effect. Dogecoin is just a fun distraction. spend your money on dogecoin people, you dont want these silly bitcoins.
I hope the plan doesnt back-fire though!

It's not Dogecoin vs Catcoin, it's Kittehcoin (MEOW)
