As much as it's a nice gesture, 99% of people will probably just look at you like you've given them monopoly money.

Don't just write the word Bitcoin on every note.......... I'm sure that's defacing the note and is illegal.
However if you receive a note with the word Bitcoin on it, please post and tell us all.
Banks/cashiers write on them all the time. You often find bank notes with sums / totals on them. Would be cool to get given a note with Bitcoin written on it. Might start writing "Use Bitcoin" on them in small writing or something. |

Maybe Satoshi is european because the icon he used - see my avatar on the left - resembles a euro coin.
Someone from a different continent would probably not feel this connection and feel so much the bitcoin as the new Euro.
Well it more closely resembles the $, and did Satoshi come up with the symbol/logo? They might've come later. Edit: Misread your post. Yeah, it does. It also looks a bit like a UK £2 coin.   |

I am sorry but I receive the message: "The last posting from your IP was less than 360 seconds ago. Please try again later." even when it is the first time I post. Maybe my provider (Virgin in the UK) is using dynamic IP. But please consider us.  Yeah, this happened for me quite a lot when I started, but it's fine now. No post time limit either. |

Yeah, it could go to one mill. Could also go to zero. Any guesses on how much BTC is gonna be worth later today, tomorrow, a year or ten from now is pure speculation.

I've been on these forums constantly since I signed up two weeks ago, and I'm enjoying it haha. I like the idea of getting paid in BTC to post and learning / contributing to discussion along the way. I also apply for jobs, trade currencies, and write comedy whilst I blast tunes out, so I don't feel I'm wasting my time at all. I'd also enjoy it a lot more if I didn't have to smell my neighbour smoking his shitty schwag weed every 2-4 hours  . |

The interesting part comes when Satoshi starts spending the original bitcoins. Talk about a market shock.
Nothing will happen to the market, it's not like he will try to cash out 1M BTC x $1000 at once. You never know. What if Satoshi is just an epic troll or is disgusted by the beast he has created and decides to dump haha. |

...If this guy is borrowing religion for a scam...
You repeat yourself my dear. Religion is the most insidious scam of all.  My dear, you are forgetting that materialism is a religion(a.k.a. belief system), generally tending towards hedonism. What's wrong with Ethical hedonism? |

I like the idea of anything having to be verified by SMS, personally. Transactions, log-in attempts, password changes etc.

I'm excited to see where these 3D printers go. It's already pretty cool that anybody can print their own paper money with a standard printer, but it'd also be very cool to mint your own coins.

The latest attempt at trying to trick the masses into buying BTC by switching the units to mBTC reminded me of something: Bitcoin PR is pretty full of shit with the assertions it makes and as a result, the popular opinion around it. Bitcoin should have warning labels similar to cigarette packs - clearly visible on any exchange for first time 'investors': 1) WARNING: Purchasing bitcoins may allow government agencies to track your every spending 2) WARNING: Your money/BTC in exchanges can easily be stolen or frozen or hacked or not be withdrawable 3) WARNING: BTC is certainly not government-proof and can be severely hampered if wanted 4) WARNING: Bitcoin has no patents around its technology and clones can be created instantly and at no cost – the network effect primarily is what gives it a higher valuation 5) WARNING:An altcoin might gain prominence and severely impact Bitcoin value 6) WARNING: A better cryptocurrency is probably in the process of being created 7) WARNING: Your entire BTC wealth might be eradicated in case of computer problems or user error  WARNING: You are highly likely to be scammed at some point using bitcoins in cyberspace and nothing can be done about it 9) WARNING: Too large of Blockchain size/large mining pools can wreck Bitcoin integrity, quantum computers could jeopardize Bitcoin security 10) WARNING: No one knows what a bitcoin is worth and its price is purely being driven by Ponzi-natured speculation How about some warnings about the U.S. dollar: 1.) WARNING: Your dollar has a serial number which can be used to track marked bills. 2.) WARNING: Your money in exchanges, banks, annuities, etc. could be stolen or hacked or not easily withdrawable. 3.) WARNING: The U.S. dollar is not government-proof and could be easily debased by the government. It is not backed by anything. 4.) WARNING: The concept of fiat sovereign currency is not protected by any non-expired patents and can be easily imitated by any third-world banana republic. 5.) WARNING: A developing country's currency might gain prominence and severely impact the U.S. dollar's value. 6.) WARNING: A better currency has already been developed (namely, Bitcoin). 7.) WARNING: Your entire retirement savings might be eradicated in case of bank error, user error (you forget where you put it), your company going bankrupt and defaulting on its pension fund, or politicians changing the terms of your social security program. 8.) WARNING: You are highly likely to be scammed at some point using U.S. dollars in cyberspace or meatspace and often there is nothing that can be done about it. 9.) WARNING: Too-big-to-fail banks and central banks can compromise the financial system's integrity, lead to financial crises and bailouts. Quantum computers could crack systems used to secure legacy financial networks. 10.) WARNING: No one knows what the U.S. dollar is really worth since it is no longer backed by gold or anything else tangible and its price is purely being driven by Ponzi-natured speculation on the sustainability of the traditional financial/political system.  Yup, any argument against Bitcoin can usually be applied to fiat. There are plenty pluses for BTC against fiat though; can't be counterfeited, decentralised etc. |

Having a halal bitcoin lender would be amazing for those who need it, giving a billion Muslims access to btc. If this guy is borrowing religion for a scam I would be a bit upset
Welcome to bitcointalk.org. Are you interested in investing in Tom Cruise's Scientology Bank of Bitecoin? 98% legit. |

These 'hackers' are just gunning for your hero, donor, and VIP and mod and admin accounts. Everyone else is worthless. Perfect for me.  I'm not sure this is entirely the plan though, maybe they just want to harvest passwords and try link them with wallets etc. Surely somebody would spot the abuse very quickly. Hopefully those kinda peeps should be immediately alarmed when they're asked to log in again without signing out. |

I don't think he will show up at the awards ceremony.
Satoshi or Snowden? haha. Maybe Snowden is Satoshi; now that would be a twist.  |
