The first ASICs were shipped out from Avalon in early 2013, and that was one crazy year. Could it be that making mining easier with just a USB plugin led to a wider adoption and the huge price increase? Also I absolutely believed that SR had a big influence on adoption.

I just assume that Satoshi is dead and that any friends or family of his knew nothing about bitcoins at the time of his death. As such, anything that might have been a private key to any of those bitcoins is long since destroyed.
I thought he was dead as well, until he posted "I am not dorian nakamoto" last year.

Well shorts are down to 26K, an 8K drop since the ATH on April 27th. Looks like more and more traders are starting to feel that the 17 month bear market might be coming to a close.

Holy smokes, that's a pretty bullish looking count chessnut! It's nice to see someone on here that tries to take an unbiased approach and posts both bearish and bullish TA.

Was "burning" coins a thing in the early days? Maybe he destroyed the private keys or deleted his wallet on purpose instead?

Even some writing talent, alas wasted inside your corrupt mind. If only you could see yourself through others' eyes and perhaps have the tiniest bit of courage to take responsibility for the things that you post.
Tell me, does your sadism extend to real life, or just the internet?
Do you really have to ask? NO idea what that's from but this is what I perceive is happening: Brunette: "OMG, do you smell that?!" Blonde: "Ew, someone totally farted!!" Guy: *SMILES*

Using bitcoin core/qt you can send from multisig by generating a raw tx in the console. You'll need to know the transaction hash, vout and scriptPubKey of the unspent outputs you want to spend. You'll also need the private keys from the multisig address as well as the redeemScript. Be careful, if you don't spend the full amount or specify a 2nd address, the remaining will be used as a mining fee. createrawtransaction '[{"txid":"6a4c4c3acc5d535a9a...","vout":0}]' '{"1xSomeBitcoinAddress51245d":0.01}'
This will generate a hash, take that hash and plug it in the below in place of hash_from_createraw signrawtransaction 'hash_from_createraw' '[{"txid":"6a4c4c3acc5d535a9a...","vout":0,"scriptPubKey":"a91440c7dbad...","redeemScript":"52210347f3394f..."}]' '["priv_key"]'
This will generate another hash, take this and insert it below in place of hash_from_signraw signrawtransaction 'hash_from_signraw' '[{"txid":"6a4c4c3acc5d535a9a...","vout":0,"scriptPubKey":"a91440c7dbad...","redeemScript":"52210347f3394f..."}]' '["priv_key2"]'
This will generate another hash, copy this hash and paste it in place of hash_from_2nd_signraw sendrawtransaction hash_from_2nd_signraw
This will send the transaction and broadcast it to the network, all done!

This place is dead... Am I the only one with nothing to do on a Saturday?

... it seems that this guy now that you was using electrum, at least the tag indicate so, could it be that he is exploiting electrum weakness?
Wait, can I say one thing? .... and if it is only a joke by the OP (I'm only asking, but it could be possible). Why I am thinking the same thing? Sorry about your coins OP, but this is really strange TBH.

Are there any people who actually use Circle I rarely see any thread / news about Circle, is it because Circle still a new company ? I hope this time they really can increase bitcoin adaption I use circle all the time. They are my goto for buying BTC since mid last year since there is no 4 day wait like coinbase. I don't store any BTC there though. I transfer to my own address(es) right after purchase. Does Circle disallow transfers to gambling sites? Dunno, I've never tried it. I've sent from a lite wallet for game sites and when done, assuming I didn't lose it all, I'll keep it on a lite wallet and won't send it back to Circle or Coinbase.

So are we in the takeoff phase since institutional investors are about to come in?
I don't know it's hard to fit bitcoin to the bubble phases. Bitcoin has already had media attention and awareness, so I'd think we're more in the bear trap area... Or 2013 was the mania phase and now we are returning to the mean.

Wow I'm surprised how many of you are so down on the current state of bitcoin technology. I think it absolutely could go mainstream but not in the priv key wallet.dat form that most of us know. When it goes mainstream there will be many layers built on top of the existing bitcoin protocol similar to how the internet has several layers on top of it to make it usable by the mainstream. What do you imagine this would look like if it were for mainstream bitcoin? I definitely think bitcoin core would be at the bottom, with several layers on top. Circle is a nice layer that makes it usable. Onename.io was a layer but nobody really caught on to using it. Changetip with twitter integration is a layer. This IMO is how bitcoin can be used by the mainstream.

Again, choice. Anyone can choose to hold BTC if they want. And to speculate, it won't stop there. Yuan could be the next available currency then hopefully more.
I must be missing something, I don't see why having the ability to hold USD, BTC and CNY in one place is a big deal when it's do-able already with exchanges. I'm not trying to irritate you, just trying to understand your point of view on this. So then basically they will be a US based, BTC-e with smartphone apps and a better UI?

Circle's philosophy hasn't shifted. They've been focused on dollar balances using bitcoin rails since their inception. They're just now attempting to close that "circle".
What's more surprising is that Goldman Sachs is interested in the utility of an asset that has been crashing for a year and a half. Wall St. tends to stay away from such things.
I don't think that was too surprising considering Circle has Goldman alumni on their executive board.

Will this help with mainstream adoption? Allow people to use bitcoin and accept bitcoin without having to own or hold bitcoin.
Coinbase to the UK. Circle to China. Nasdaq Stockholm to trade a Bitcoin ETN. Things are getting serious.
It's not even about that. It's about having a choice. It's good that there's a service that allows you to choose. Bitcoin is known for its volatility, so Circle gives their customers a choice to avoid that. If the features only purpose was to provide a choice between BTC and USD then what's the difference than just using an exchange, except that it's FDIC insured? I think that Circle is trying to pull in more users by letting them spend bitcoin and receive it without having to hold bitcoin due to it's volatility.
