I have a lot of rats in my area so I got a cat last year. He's managed to kill over 2 dozen rats so far, so I'd say he's pretty useful. The last rat he killed was really big, I shocked that he could kill it, since he's not a very big cat. Never have to walk him and he poos outside so no litter box too, he just digs a hole and buries it.

Hello, I recently heard about bitcoin (11/29/13) and I did a little chart viewing on the past years. It might be likely that new people coming into bitcoin might not witness such huge rises (compared to the older members here) (1,000-1,00000% etc).
Do you all believe it is just a matter of time before people in 2020 say, "Dang I wish I was in @2014 when I heard about that M.I.T student thing." (meaning price would be multiplied many times the current sub 450 by 2015-2020 ish)
or are new people (like me) too late to see any similar rises?
you are not too late (still early). lots of people predict the next rally to 5k-10k. Lots of people are usually way off in their predictions. I remember a thread from over a year ago asking about the price of btc at the end of 2013 and nearly all of the predictions were way too generous except for maybe one or two. While it's very possible that we'll see another rally before the year is over, there's no telling if we'll break the ATH or even see 4-figure btc this year. |

They actually have a very interested and active dev community...hype from the crypto side won't happen until this community starts understanding DACS and Smart Properties...which has already begun to an extent. POS is already a thing of the past...kind of...  Link? The fact that these guys collected $3Mil and don't have a working product is absolutely beyond me. You will never attract a strong dev community without an inexpensive entry point. With any large IPO, you will have the crypto dev team, and a bunch of sock puppet cheerleaders, not much else. If I'm a dev, and buy Maidsafe at a $100Mil marketcap, I expect all development to be completed by the core team. With that said, I hope Maidsafe is successful because the idea alone is good for all crytpo. They have more discussions at maidsafe.org. Like I mentioned earlier, the devs are very ambitious and reading some of the threads there, it does seem like there are many kinks to be worked out. |

While they do appear to be a maidsafe competitor, there's absolutely no indication that they'll have a working product in the next 6 months. In fact, they're actually asking for 250 btc to use for living expenses for the next year so they can work on their project. So where is maidsafe development standing at the moment ? Are they able to outperform Ethereum ? I'm not too sure about how far ethereum has come along. Even maidsafe seems to be quite far from having a product released. They seem to be very ambitious with their perception of what the SAFE network will be capable of, but I think if they focus on several smaller goals, they should have a product available for testing in a few months possibly. |

I take it that this is only for residents of the U.S.?

It's the calm before the storm. We'll be seeing some high volume trades soon enough, the question is whether it'll go up or down.

Satoshi announcing himself to the world  If I see indicators that fresh investors are flocking in to buy BTC I'd turn bullish. Not the same hodlers crying that BTC is cheap and to get in before it's too late type of investors. I mean new people who read about it and decide to invest a little. I remember in early 2013 there were lots of new users here asking how to buy some btc and investment strategies. It does seem that trend has slowed down significantly in 2014 after our meteoric rise from $85. |

You know why I think bitcoin will be valuable and coveted in the future beyond any other cryptocurrency, even if arguably better ones come along? Simply because it is the first, the original, the pure source. Rare, uncorruptable, untaintable. A special place in history as the one that started it all. First mover advantage. It will be like the Holy Grail, the Model T Ford, the Mona Lisa of all cryptocurrencies, and everyone will want to own some just because of this one special attribute. Especially the rich. Just look at BRK-A stock, the rich want some of it just because the "commoners" can't afford it (yes I know BTC can pretty much be owned by anyone due to near infinite divisibility, even if it attained a $1M/BTC valuation, but still).
I know, it sounds completely crazy, but I've seen crazier things in the fine art, antiques and collectibles market.
I think bitcoin might see some serious competition in the next 3 to 5 years that could eat into it's market share. It could be possible to overcome that with sidechains, but it comes down to who releases the next innovative crypto first. |

I have a bunch of different addresses too. I'd estimate that the total number of bitcoiners is below 1 million.

It's not going down really right now, just hold a ltitle longer. Also try doing the opposite of what you "think" you should be doing. For example if you're nervous it's going to go down, buy some. If you think it's going to the moon (see when it was $1000) then sell some.
Given that there are about 3600 new coins mined every day, you're probably correct. A lot of new money has to come into btc everyday just so the price can stay the same. |

The pseudo vegetarians probably far outnumber the real ones. All the vegetarians I know eat some form of meat, or cheat sometimes. Can't really blame them though...

Your article is kind of confusing. Are you trying to compare the current btc situation in China to ancient Chinese history? I don't think that has much correlation here.

Stop lying, those vegan dishes don't take less time to prepare and cook. I cook most of my food from scratch so I have quite a bit of experience. Cooking foods that you prepare from scratch usually takes a lot longer than eating outside or processed junk, but one must make some sacrifices to reap the benefits. You're trying to make it seem like going vegan is a smooth transition, but in reality it's a radical change in one's lifestyle where they would have to make sacrifices in order to gain perceived benefits.
Stop lying? I wouldn't lie to you man. Have you even prepared one of those dishes or not? This is from my personal experience. Cooking meat took a shitload of time, I had to let the meat thaw from the freezer, I had to cut the meat one by one, use up some oil, put it into a frying pan, let it sizzle, wait by the food, flip it over, etc, it just took a shitload of time. That vegan burger literally heats up in a minute or two no oil required. I'm not even lying or exaggerating. To prepare a salad, all you do is grab vegetables from the refrigerator, put it on a plate, add some sauce for flavor, then eat. To eat non-processed foods like fruit, all you do is grab the fruit, open it up, and eat. Where am I lying here? Try it, prepare a vegetarian or vegan food like those above, and it is basically instantaneous. I am surprised you even called me a liar. The transition to not eating meat varies from person to person. I'm not saying it will be an easy transition for everyone, it depends on how willing you are to do your own research about the subject. See, if you were interested in becoming vegetarian, you would at least look up information about it, then you would try it out. For example pretty much 99% of anything you can eat is vegetarian. Read some more tips and advice from people, apply those, and it makes the transition a lot easier. You assumed I was making it seem like an easy transition, because it is, But like I said, it just depends on how you look at it and how willing you are to apply it. Also, there aren't any sacrifices man. None. No sacrifices at all. The only thing you would gain from it are benefits and if you think about it, you know that what I'm saying is true. So for a salad you don't have to wash vegetables? Some leafy greens like parsley and cilantro have lots of dirt in them and need a very thorough wash. That sure takes time. Then the cutting board has to get pulled out; surely those vegetables don't just cut themselves. And who wants unhealthy store-bought salad dressing? Gotta make your own there too. By the way, your examples don't count because you're eating already prepared food that simply has to be cooked or is ready-to-eat, so there is very little preparation involved. If I brought you raw soybeans and asked you to make me a veggie burger, I'm sure there's going to be a lot of steps involved (soaking the dry beans overnight, then boiling them, then grinding them up with other stuff, then shaping them into patties, etc). I personally wouldn't want to be eating a meat/meatless burger regularly unless I was the one grinding it up and knowing exactly what goes into it. I guess you're a comfort-food type of person, so you don't really spend much time preparing food. Many types of meals made from scratch are time-consuming, whether they contain meat or not. Btw, eating a fruit isn't really considered a meal, more like a treat or snack. And some fruits take a bit of work, like pomegranates for example. |

Chinese banks announced the ban a few months ago. They probably haven't taken any action yet because they want to give people a chance to get their money out before they actually start cracking down. Blame the exchanges for continuing to accept back transfers even though they know it's not allowed.

Definitely not in the early adopter phase for bitcoin, perhaps for some of the new cryptos. I'd say we're at the early majority stage.

China is still very much in the game. I'd imagine we'd see a devastating drop if most of the Chinese actually sold. The price is holding up pretty good right now, given that about 3600 new coins are mined every day.

Maybe they don't plan to cash out in fiat and are confident they'll be able to withdraw their BTC from the exchanges.
