That is a very interesting way to look at it. And I totally agree.

But what does this have to do with mining and confirmations?

I suspect if bitcoin's market gets that high it is because Big Banks market cap is falling. So for bitcoin to get half of big banks, with coin growing and banks declining? 3-4 years.

Please lawd let it fall to $100, I will line my wallets full of bitcoin at that price.

Its just one more step they have to take to troll. Hopefully some just don't know how or will give up after being IP banned.

I suspect it a group that is getting paid to troll, to get people to eventually sell.

A good majority of Ruble holders do not even know what Bitcoin is

This better be a mini bounce. I was promised $270 coins

Let me know when the top search is "where to buy bitcoin"

What exactly does Time Inc. sell for bitcoins? Just magazines? Online subscriptions maybe?

I thought it was 2138 or 2139 since it is suppose to take 140 years from jan 2009

Not everyone has fiat at exchanges to buy coins at the drop of a hat when news like this hits. It will take time for people who have never bought before to learn through this new medium and actually set up an account and buy coins.

I wish there was some kind of informational pamphlet I could just leave near some ATMs. That would solve both the pinwhole sticker and atm business problems.

If only they talked about bitcoin in a good way.

Trezor. And I love it.

If Casascius coins are too expensive for you, you couldn't always get some of those bitcards, they have much smaller denominations.

So who "runs" the Federal Reserve and do they have a twitter?   

Does anyone know how much the date can change? I thought each difficulty change would put us back on track for the normal date of halving. So when we got closer wouldn't the difficulty adjust accordingly and put us closer to the exact date?

I would say fiverr, but I think they charge like 5% or 10% for bitcoin. Seems like it would be a discount and not a charge 

What meaning are you going for? Vision of the moon?

That is an interesting find. Nick has been theorized to be Satoshi for some time now.
