I wouldn't call them a failure. I mean what kind of car are you driving? What kind of girls are you dating? How much money do you have in your bank account?

 Truth is that Winklewiis are winners in this life.

I have a huge respect for a  Mark and he is one of my heroes. And it is clear that it was Zuck's vision that made Facebook what it is today.

But you have to see both sides of the coin. If you would hire an engineer to develop your site and he would made you believe that he was working on it, but then out of blue he would publish himself website that has lot of similarities with your site. Wouldn't you be pissed off? And honestly: If that site would one day be worth of billions, wouldn't you sue him?

What's wrong about being driven in money? I am also driven by money, but that doesn't mean that I'm not interested about technology and economics behind Bitcoin.

Besides how many other multimillionaire jocks you know that are interested in Bitcoin? If they weren't interested about Bitcoin or about technology in general they could be partying around the clock. The fact that they use their time and money instead in Bitcoins shows clearly that they are interested in it.

I just don't get it. I mean, I use to think that they are total tools, but more I hear about them, more my appreciation grows for them.

Yep, after 266$ bubble things have been pretty boring excluding some nice news about VC:s etc. I think that has started a spiral: Bored people sell - more boring bear market - more selling. I hope we go back to bull market soon.

Coincidence? I think Atlas is shrugging.

This is my act of loyalty to every creator who ever lived and was made to suffer by the force responsible for the system Satoshi dynamited. To every tortured hour of loneliness, denial, frustration, abuse he was made to spend—and to the battles he won. To every creator whose name is known—and to every creator who lived, struggled and perished unrecognized before he could achieve. To every creator who was destroyed in body or in spirit. To Satoshi Nakamoto. To a man who doesn’t want to be named, but who is reading in this forum and knows that I am speaking of him.

I am not Atlas.

Barack Obama, who was the President, kept hammering his gavel for order, and we quieted down some, but not much, and you could see the whole place moving restlessly from side to side, like water in a pan that's being rocked. 'This is a crucial moment in the history of mankind!' Obama yelled through the noise. 'Remember that none of us may now leave this place, for each of us belongs to all the others by the moral law which we all accept!' 'I don't,' said one man and stood up. He was one of the young engineers. Nobody knew much about him. He'd always kept mostly by himself. When he stood up, we suddenly turned dead-still. It was the way he held his head. He was tall and slim - and I remember thinking that any two of us could have broken his neck without trouble - but what we all felt was fear. He stood like a man who knew that he was right. 'I will put an end to this, once and for all,' he said. His voice was clear and without any feeling. That was all he said and started to walk out. He walked down the length of the place, in the white light, not hurrying and not noticing any of us. Nobody moved to stop him. Obama cried suddenly after him, 'How?' He turned and answered, 'I will stop the motor of the world.' Then he walked out. We never saw him again. We never heard what became of him.

We began to think of him whenever we saw another collapse in the world, which nobody could explain, whenever we took another blow, whenever we lost another hope, whenever we felt caught in this dead, gray fog that's descending all over the earth. Perhaps people heard us crying that question and they did not know what we meant, but they knew too well the feeling that made us cry it. They, too, felt that something had gone from the world. Perhaps this was why they began to say it, whenever they felt that there was no hope. I'd like to think that I am wrong, that those words mean nothing, that there's no conscious intention and no avenger behind the ending of the human race. But when I hear them repeating that question, I feel afraid. I think of the man who said that he would stop the motor of the world. You see, his name was Satoshi Nakamoto.

Satoshi Nakamoto is Prometheus who changed his mind. After centuries of being torn by vultures in payment for having brought to men the fire of the gods, he broke his chains—and he withdrew his fire—until the day when men withdraw their vultures.

He is a man who said that he would stop the motor of the world.

And he did.

"The great achievements of civilization have not come from government bureaus. Einstein didn’t construct his theory under order from a bureaucrat. Henry Ford didn’t revolutionize the automobile industry that way." - Milton Friedman

My point is that looters won't beat Satoshi. He is the man who said that he would stop the looters of the world.

And he did.

Let's say you could become trillionaire by making your old enemies billionaires. What would you do?

How much do you think that would be the amount of BTC that you should at least to hold in order to be member of this new elite in the near future? How many Bitcoins it takes to get into 1% of Bitcoiners. 100? 210? 2100?

I couldn't care less of couple of dollars. Now I can hold my BTC for the longest time without any fear

The Price of one Bitcoin will be $ by the end of next week.

If I would be real panic seller I would have sell every BTC I have. Most of my assets are still in BTC so I would say that I am still extra-bullish.

I have already taken that into account. I am now totally debt free + I have still massive amount of BTC. Problem?
