From what I have read and if I have understood correctly, bitcoin is safe against a quantum computer attack and only those bitcoins in addresses that have never moved would be affected, in other words freshly mined coins sitting on newly generated addresses... or something like that. If you dont reuse addresses you should be ok.
I dont really know how it works exactly so I would like to know too.

There will be competing currencies against bitcoin but no other currency will be seen as solid and trusted as bitcoin simply because bitcoin is the longest surviving blockchain and no one can steal that from bitcoin unless they have a time machine to go back in time and invent another cryptocurrency before satoshi did.

Governments can't ban bitcoin, an example of government trying to ban bitcoin is Russia. Russian government has been trying to ban bitcoin for ages and trying to make people scared of using bitcoin, but if you look at the localbitcoins marketcap from the rubble to btc volume you will see that the btc volume to rubble has indeed increased in the last years, this proves scaremongering from the government doesn't work.

I like to think that satoshi was a time traveler and he bought technology from the future to the current time to take power away from the banksters. He was probably a normal guy/a group of very smart coders and hackers tho.

I would not throw my computer on the pool, I would throw myself and drown in it. Not but seriously, I would probably cry and punch the wall, then after a while I would try to move on and find whatever else is hot to invest at. The good news is Bitcoin will never die anyway.

No coin is going to replace Bitcoin. At the end of the day people will trust wahtever has the strongest network and most robust system that is as trusted as possible to stay the same for years to come. Nobody wants to use something that you can't trust the total supply will stay the same and only Bitcoin can guarantee this.

Gavin believes a lot of things.
He believed a con-man was satoshi.
He believed that Mike Hearn was a trustworthy contributor.
And now he believes some garbage about Ethereum.
I'll give him A's for being consistent, at least.... what a joke.
Gavin Andresen is a troll and a sellout, he will defend whatever is putting money on his pocket. The Ethereum Foundation, as the disgusting piece of shit mafie that it is, pays a lot of "bitcoin celebrities" to FUD Bitcoin and shill Ethereum. At the end of the day, Ethereum is a mess and Bitcoin remains the solid number 1. |

Maybe I didn't explain myself accordingly. I meant that Bitcoin must never hard fork in a stupid rushed way, a hard fork must be conservative and for real reasons, not some bullshit hack or a hypothetical apocalypse if we don't raise the blocksize by tomorrow.

Yeah, inherently zero-knowledge is superior to anything else but if you investigate Zcash its like a bitcoin sidechain with zerocoin, they even copied the bitcoin core, nothing evil about that but this means you have 2 systems: one with the trusted-setup to generate anonymous transaction (which take several minutes and need 8 GB RAM or more btw) and the transparent bitcoin system, also 20% of mining goes to the founders. I will wait for the future if some smart guy figures out how to make this without trusted setup and without the transparent bitcoin core.
 Sounds like FreeTrade + MemoryCoin  Yeah, 20% of mining for the founders... what the fuck? I mean that's ridiculous for god's sake. Why? and what's the point? Aren't they rich enough from getting in early? Im sure they will be holding decent amount of coins... this sounds worse by the second, but I still might buy to profit from a pump and dump, the problem is the coin is already near 0.1 BTC... https://www.bitmex.com/app/trade/ZECZ16it's already getting traded without a blockchain lol, but a price is set, now the question is if we will see a flash dump as soon as it gets on Poloniex. Lots of coins have a similar graph where it insta dumps as soon as it hits the exchange (ICOers and miners dumping) |

How can they trade zcash if it was not yet released?
Because if a crypto coin is essentially just a trading token between "greater fool" betters on exchanges, *you do not even need a block chain*. Only an IOU on a web site to trade it. And maybe zcash is on something here: after all, what is more anonymous than a non-existent coin  One only trades its ghost as IOU on a web site. This is the natural successor of an ICO. You offer the IOU, and you trade it. No coin, no block chain, no software, no mining, no hassle. Brilliant, no ? It's very risky... you are stuck holding the coins on the website, if the exchange closes, your money is gone forever, not even tracked inside a blockchain. Personally I still don't see the point of ZCash if you have to trust the creators in destroying the masterkey.. |

At this rate something like coinjoin + confidential transactions will be ready before any of the anonymous coins get a proper GUI. Segwit is comming soon so if the alts want to compete against bitcoin they better hurry.

Im not a Trump supporter by any means but I think people saying "Hillary Clinton obviously won" are out of their mind and in denial. The debate was mostly a tie, nothing out of ordinary was said, no one won or lost votes in my opinion, we'll see the next ones.

Some people need drugs (medication) to stop gambling anyway because the addiction is too strong. All addictions are different levels of tolerance of addictive chemicals anyway, and some are too strong and need meds.

Whales are in acumulation phase, they are getting as much cheap bitcoin as possible and nowadays 600 dollars is considered cheap. Big things are comming soon to bitcoin and they know it, so the price is going to explode.

The price is going to keep growing but nobody knows when things are going to skyrocket. Im predicting that we will soon start going towards the unavoidable new ATH when we have segwit functioning. Beyond that, sky's the limit.

Yep, it's pretty obvious we have whales at work here trying to keep the price under 600 to keep buying, they have been buying for months now and things are getting ready to explode once 0.13.1 goes live and segwit is activated, then the march towards 1000+ begins.

I definitely agree with op, there are tons of people that got left behind in the last bubbles that didnt buy in because they were scared, and now all those hands are waiting for a dip to get in, and sooner than expect we will start going to the moon and that perfect dip people are waiting for will never happen and they will not be able to buy.

So who do you think won? Apparently people think Hillary won. I think she was mediocre at best. Definitely not easy to tell who won, since Trump was not specially bright as well. I think a tie is the right analysis.
