tjo warum wohl  die gold- und silverbugs claimen immer dass ihre kurse so manipuliert sind... stimmt ja womöglich auch. allerdings sind solche wertgegenstände, wenn zu viele da reingehen, nach dem kollaps auf jeden fall überbewertet, weil es dann wieder bessere anlagen gibt, und es kommt der große sell-off. bitcoin hingegen hat selbst dann noch ein großes wachstumspotential, weil bitcoins einfach anteile sind in einem freien globalen zahlungssystem sind und damit eine echte leistung darstellen. |

Money itself is merely information.
Only the medium that carries this information and/or the authority that controls this information may change over the time.

I've traded other currency markets over the past 7 years, and this would certainly be a bubble in any classic currency pair. In fact, this just never happens in any other currency pair, unless one of the currencies is spiraling out of control. But in this case the currency that would be spiraling out of control would be the USD, and that is not happening (yet).
The difference is that BTC is not a fiat currency. It's not precious metal that's been around for thousands of years. It is a new idea. It has the essence of a revolution who's potential benefits are becoming realized at an increasingly rapid pace. I don't believe this is a bubble. I believe this is people waking up to a better vision of payment processing and alternative stores of value. This is likely still the beginning. I'm holding for the longest time.
so the Apple Stock was a bubble too?  Indeed Bitcoin *is* more an asset than a currency, at least now; it's a share in a global value transfer system. Also it was born on the internet, and I guess you're familiar with the term "viral". |

money has to be plentiful... yep right.  helicopter bill money will always become scarce because weak hands and strong hands and all... money printing doesn't solve this issue, but rather perpetuates it even more. The rich can also flee into hard assets from inflating money supply. i think what people like Keynes and Bill Still are really looking for with "plentiful" is this: even if a fixed monetary supply like a gold backed currency or Bitcoin causes liquidity shortages and crises, the solution is not to print money and pour it into wall street hoping it would trickle down. The correct solution is to let people create ad-hoc liquidity from the bottom up, i.e. let them print their own money, issue their own promises. Good tools for that like Ripple exist already as well. |

now if we can also get rid of the false dichotomy public vs private, we're almost there.  |

I hope I'm more lucky with this one than with the Bitcoin gem. |

where's the "somewhere inbetween" answer?
We currently may be indeed overvalued, i.e. above expected rate of growth, but that doesn't mean the value will ever go much lower than it is now. It may move sideways and consolidate for a while and then move upwards at a slower pace again.

7. Eventually (this might take 20-30 years), Fiat will just fade away. Future generations won't understand why we even needed so many currencies to begin with. Bitcoin will become the global currency.
"So many currencies" (i.e. complementary regional currencies) do make sense, even in a Bitcoin world. See Prof Bernard Lietaer's work about it. |

http://www.ripoffreport.com/ripple/computer-fraud/ripple-com-internet-7cea0.htmComplaint Review: Ripple
Ripple located at Ripple.org is the relaunch of a notorious internet scam known as Bitcoin. Ripple also known as BitCoin and BitCoin 2.0 was developed and distributed by an anonymous hacker group lead by the collaborative persona known as "Vinnie" with known origins in the former Soviet Bloc country of Moldova.
The Ripple client is well developed and installs easily on most Windows platforms, Linux Distros and Mac. The basic premise is that Ripple is a peer to peer money transfer system that works much like Bittorrent. It claims to be unstoppable, irreversible and can operate outside of any government control. The true nature of Ripple is botnet control, personal information and identity theft. It will also harvest Paypal and bank account information.
Ripple can be acquired by two methods, purchased with a credit card at the Ripple exchange or created using the CPU power of the host machine. The client is configured so than any one machine will never be profitable and "Ripples" must be purchased or traded for.
The whole money system is rouse to steal credit card and identity information as well make the host machine a zombie in a botnet. The client machine runs services background that monitor and record the user's activity and reports them back to a central server optimizing the time in which the host machine can be "enslaved".
Bitcoin relaunched as Ripple after coming under scrutiny of InterPol, Germany's Bundespolizei (BPOL) and the US DOJ. While funds can in fact be stored and transferred using Ripple, the risk for identity theft and fraud are high as well as unknowingly taking part in criminal enterprise.
Ripple embeds deeply within the host operating making complete removal nearly impossible. Most machines infected with Ripple require a complete operating system reinstall losing most files from the previous state. Since Ripple doesn't deploy stealth methods or malware to install it is excluded from most malware and antivirus definitions. A user must install Ripple to be infected.

I think the American position of libertarianism is more market-oriented simply because they have much more land available and this was never really an issue, while Europe practically still lives in post-feudalism. Historically, land was under control by church and the kings and emperors because "by Grace of God".
