Are u suggesting that bitcoin users are growing at that rate, or that some people like to have alot of different wallets ? To me it doesn't prove anything actually, because the whole point of bitcoin is not to use same wallet/address each time. cheers first of all i am not suggesting anything, i just saw this increased number and wanted to share it with the community to hear their thoughts. secondly the chart is about number of "wallets" or unique users not number of "addresses"

~~ Be careful who you deal with. There are scammers out there. There are also people who just wanna see you crash and burn. They will egg you on and put you down. ~~
it is worth mentioning that this forum has a Trust section under every user's name and in profile which you can always see in profile and under the name (in posts) in sections like lending, trading and such. this helps noticing if someone is legit or scammer and something that i found out yesterday was this section of forum: https://bitcointalk.org/seclog.phpyou can see if someone's password was reset recently to recognize hacked or sold accounts

wow this topic has gone wild since last night i posted it. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) i've read some interesting stuff by CIYAM and the following arguments by other users which made me look into it a little more. I don't understand how having the option to pay in bitcoin will do them any harm. Sometimes when I pay for things I see plenty of methods to choose from which I've never heard of but usually just go for the PayPal option (uggh). I would love to pay with bitcoin but PP is the easiest thing currently but now people wont even have the option to pay in btc and will likely lose them business from bitcoiners.
It is simple psychology - if you have 100 options for a meal then the average person is going to take a longer longer to decide then if you have say 2 options. Each second of indecision is likely to be a "lost sale" (i.e. moved on to another website). i felt like sharing my findings with anyone interested in this matter. OverchoiceHaving more choices, on the surface, appears to be a positive development; however it hides an underlying problem: faced with too many choices, consumers have trouble making optimal choices, and thus as a result can be indecisive, unhappy, and even refrain from making the choice (purchase) at all if anyone is interested in scientific facts, you can find a nice article on "How extensive number of options lower satisfaction with one's choice and may also lead into not choosing at all" in Journal of Experimental Social Psychology 2011 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S002210311100028X

I have done loads of transactions and all my unconfirmed transactions have been confirmed and bitcoin credited
Some merchants will ask customers to wait for the confirmations but what is the actual risk? and what could happen other than the transaction being confimed?
i think the biggest risk and what is most probable is the double spend. as long as the transaction is not yet confirmed the coins are not spent so they can be sent to another address

i don't know if i can call it a company but if something like amazon starts accepting bitcoin as an alternative for payment that would be Huge.

Check the story below: NYC Firefighter, Mugged And Stabbed For BitcoinWhat does this mean for bitcoin? Do you think Bitcoin has reached so far that one have to steal the cryptocurrency physically? Do you think Bitcoin is nearing the mainstream acceptance? this doesn't mean anything for bitcoin, if anything (as dany mentioned) it proves it is valuable. besides it is as the result of people being lets say careless [or stupid]

if i wanted to stop bitcoin i would go on bitcointalk forum and create a topic asking people for ideas, you know like a brainstorming and use them to crash bitcoin ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) The most important part of your plan is having a shit ton of money to execute it. No matter how much brainstorming you do, without the massive resources it would all be to no avail. well honestly i don't understand why someone would want to stop bitcoin! but yes if you want to stop something big, you have to be big with deep pockets

i don't see the difference between trading bitcoin and trading any other stuff, if you sell any kind of stuff to a shady person in a non-public place you are gonna get mugged and you deserve it for not using your brain!

i don't think giving people money will ever solve any problem it never will. in this case handing people bitcoin will just cause a surge of sell in the market
