It's very possible. Only time will tell.
Food for thought: Bitcoin is extremely scarce with a hard cap. It is infinitely divisible, extremely mobile, cost nothing to "transport" and takes up almost no physical space (other than the device used to send/receive).
There will ever only be 21 million bitcoins. There is over 50 million troy ounces of gold mined each year (current estimates are about 80 million troy ounces per year).
Essentially no store/merchant accepts gold coins/bars in exchange for goods. The number of places accepting bitcoin in exchange for goods/services has gone up dramatically over the past few years.
In 10 years I give Bitcoin a 20%+ chance of truly being a Gold 2.0.
In 20 years I give Bitcoin a 50%+ chance of being the new global reserve currency.
Most people cant grasp that the above two statements in bold completely contradict each other. If there was only 1 bitcoin in existence but it is infinitely divisible it is not scarce. Essentially no store/merchant accepts gold coins/bars in exchange for goods. The number of places accepting bitcoin in exchange for goods/services has gone up dramatically over the past few years.
Maybe not directly but I bet I could take a gold coin/bar to any country in the world and pretty quickly convert it to the local currency as needed to buy goods and services, try that with BTCThe fact that these BTC v gold threads keep popping up just goes to show its hard wired into people for some unknown reason that gold is special and the ultimate store of wealth. Gold market cap roughly - $6,843,058,204,925 BTC market cap roughly - $......3,373,831,169 ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FNhDaANk.png&t=663&c=OMYH8XePoJF_qg) Bitcoin has its place and will evolve over time but it will never surpass gold as a store of wealth.

I don't think the OP quite understands how the trust system works.
I wouldn't put it past the OP to withhold funds if he was sent funds first in a trade. However I don't think KoS is dumb enough to send first to the OP.
The correct reaction to receiving frivolous negative trust is obviously not to send negative trust in return.
For once I'd agree. The OP did scam me but thats another story but after seeing how this guy posts, hes obviously not even 21 years old and if he is then he has a ton of maturing to do. If the op did scam you for 10 BTC then please post proof.

I think he will pay up in a few days with a poor excuse. Think of it as an interest free loan for a few days until he gets paid ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

The fact you accept escrow is irrelevant you retard, its what you are selling that makes you a scammer.

Since i have contacted the site support with no response about the security bug and there was no answer, i'm willing to sell it Bug affects the main site and the support domain main site ( code execution bug ) Bid starts at : 0.5 BTC Pm if intersted ( Only serious buyers ) Accept Escrow
So I assume you contacted site support demanding money for the bug fix and when they wouldn't play ball you thought you would try and sell the info here. p.s. if this bug allows you obtain BTC by deception why not just use it yourself rather than sell the info ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

Want to sell 2 BTC from my Wallet for Paypal or Bank Transfer EUR.
ONLY Europe Buyers pls.
contact icq: 662428561
or send me a private message or comment the Thread, thanks.
best regards.
May worth mentioning you accept escrow, as a newbie looking to do a large transaction it carries significant risk to the buyer.

This is the reason I only ever buy my gold from reputable dealers, so many chinese copies. I understand why people buy fake gold (even though they are wasting their money as its worthless) but buying fake silver 1oz pamps seems stupid as anyone can afford to buy the real bars unless you are buying with the hope of scamming people. If you cant afford $29 for a real pamp you have big issues - http://www.apmex.com/product/62075/1-oz-silver-bar-pamp-suisse-fortuna-6-3

You are not able to see the picture??? Took some time to open the picture due to connection issues. But your picture has not your name and date on it I dont think there are any trust issues with Blazedout419.

Hi Have you ever been make deposit at the site name earn tomorrow? i just get upset about lost my BTC on that site. ![Angry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/angry.gif) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FNm0e2yo.png&t=663&c=UmuOcr5RRRJojg) 10% daily earnings for life ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Consider it a lesson not to be greedy. If it seems too good to be true it usually is.

Quoted as form of security.
Quickseller, what the hell? Why did give a loan without a valid collateral? 0.15 btc is not an 'high' sum and I am sure you thought "it was a Sr. member, why not" ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) . I hope he will repay you as soon as possible and I have also left him a negative trust. He was on default trust at the time and had a history of successful loans along with positive trust. Sorry for your loss. Never issue unsecured loans. Always use trusted escrow. Don't confuse forum rank or default trust membership for trustworthiness. I hope you've learned a valuable lesson from all of this. Cheers! A very strange 1st post sweetiebot, another alt account of someone no doubt???

Romanko, you made yourself guilty with your actions (you broke a couple of laws). I am not sure if you are aware of this. Just to be prepared.
Even if you have been scammed, you are no better in my eyes. There is always a correct way to handle things like that by just contacting a lawyer and ask for advice. If I was EvBitcoinFan and my account was hacked (which we still don't know), I would sue the shit out of you. Even if I was a scammer, I could still sue you...
Hope you learned 2 things out of it: - Use Escrow - Stay calm, going crazy might cause yourself big trouble
Romanko, is in the Ukraine. There's really no worth in suing him for extortion. The Ukraine is in shambles and they live in a culture of war, bribery, kidnapping. Not new either, just now the world is getting involved. You consider him trying to retrieve the money you stole from him as extortion. Just like most Christians you are deluded, where are your morals on stealing, lying etc. Or is it a case of do as I say not do as I do? p.s. I would love to see the I.P log of your account after the long distance cross country trip. Bet the I.P hasnt changed, may be worth dropping admin a pm to check ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Good quote, didn't know that one yet.
I just want you to know that I didn't say that he is no scammer, I don't know. I just wanted to say, that you are breaking the law, too and that you should talk to a lawyer if you don't get that money back, instead of threatening and so on.
Thanks supertee, but really not worth the trouble. But I really doubt right now in Ukraine the way to go about things is lawyers. Extortion is more their business. Dont think you are in a position to judge anyone. Most forum members currently view you as a thief.

My approach would be fuck him. If he scammed me I would post all the info I had. If he wants to run to the police and explain the scam etc. then let him.

Guys, I would cancel your bids now because this guy will be killed before he has a chance to ship your coin and thus you will be scammed as you sent BTC and he won't be alive to ship your coin.

Let me just say that this all look too convenient. Couple of deals here and there, everything smooth, and then on a big order, boom. Then, at the same time, you are on a cross country road trip .. while logged into bitcointalk .. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.meme.am%2Finstances%2F500x%2F54468167.jpg&t=663&c=TcAzqQq23UkMYg) Im interested in what other people will think about this, but i dont buy it for a second. Sounds like bullshit to me. Sounds like he's sweating a little as his personal and family details have been discovered so sticking to the "hacked" cover story. Just pass all the gathered info over to the police anti fraud department and let then decide if he was really hacked or just scamming.
