A beautiful coin, but call me racist or whatever you want but I would be a bit concerned buying a gold coin from China... Racist. Well, at least you knew you were being a racist. That's something.

Suggestions welcome Drop out of college, take your student loan money, buy bitcoin with cash in person. Use a prepaid "burner" phone with a fake name on the account, pay in cash. Throw it away after the transaction is complete. Don't touch the money for at least 18 months. Never repay your debt. Your credit score will be trashed. Worry not, this will soon be irrelevant. The banks will go bust. Enjoy your future of liberty and wealth. Yours in compassion and solidarity, World Citizen Beliathon

can people stop waiting around sitting on their hands thinking about the bitcoin price magically spiking. What makes you think that's what we're doing? Spreading the truth about Bitcoin is helping Bitcoin, and the world. these people.. are not bitcoiners, they are fiat investors waiting for the day they can cash out.., Nice blanket generalization there Franky. Can't speak for anyone else, but I have no intention of ever "cashing out". Trading an appreciating asset for a depreciating one is the epitome of foolishness. Damn man, I usually like your posts. Oh well, can't win em all.

Looking at that pattern seems that we will be facing a long period of stagnation, only after that (1 year?) Perhaps, but I doubt it. The wheels in the Bitcoin world are spinning much, much faster today than they were 18 months ago.

Self similar object?
So, next spike will bring bitcoin to astronomical level?
With regards to Bitcoin, "astronomical" is always relative to where you stand in time. 600 would be astronomical to someone looking at Bitcoin 18 months ago. 60 would seem terrible to someone looking at Bitcoin today. Bitcoin is always approaching infinity relative to fiat money value. That's what happens when you put a deflationary, limited-supply form of money in the same place and time as an inflationary, unlimited-supply form of money. It's inevitable.

Actually, we are all winners. Even those with 0 BTC win by ending the dominance nation-state blood-money.

bitcoins = pokemon
Gotta catch 'em all! What would happen if somebody collected all of them and they sold 1 bitcoin for like $50000,would you move onto another coin or would you try to get the coins circulating again? By the time one person collected even 33% of all BTC, 1 Bitcoin would already be selling for well over $50,000 each. Personally, if I knew some entity was trying to get them all, I'd only sell mine for 100x curent market value, and I'd never sell more than half my BTC even at that price. Essentially, this is why it is impossible to collect them all.

Surely having to go to such lengths to protect your Bitcoin is only going to make it harder for mass adoption?
Things will change in time. Bitcoin will become easier, more user-friendly, more secure for the average joe. When that happens, you will know. Because you will be rich.

I will just cut and paste my response for you from Reddit: " Oh look, more rules and regulations for the plebians? That's cute.
You let me know when these laws against money laundering start applying to corporations and political elites and I'll start taking you seriously and maybe even consider obeying your laws. Probably not though, since they're fundamentally unenforceable.
Now if you'll kindly excuse me, I need to get back to downloading TOR, Tails, Dark Wallet, and Bitmessage, all while sharing terrabytes of free culture on the Pirate Bay and smoking weed.
TL;DR - You have no power here. Fuck your laws, fuck your corrupt oligopoly, and fuck you." This comment netted me like 200 karma and 3 months reddit gold, so it must have resonated with folks in r/bitcoin. the word regulation...
here I'll fix it for you: Bitcoin Regulation CONTROL Draft
Seriously, why would I waste my time reading this filth. Stop trying to play in their system. You will lose. Think of ways around their system.
Quoted for truth.

I am overinvested in Bitcoin. I am buying some physical gold to diversify.
Yeah, you don't want to make TOO much money...

Mostly ignorance and fear.

Atheism would be the wrong analogy, perhaps the birth of the enlightenment period would be more fitting. And of course, the enlightenment was a result of the excesses of religion, the subordination and repression of the masses. It produced an eventual positive effect on society, profoundly changing the power structures in society. Ahh yes, I stand corrected. The Renaissance would be the result. I think we are witnessing something similar now with the birth of the internet triggering a "Neo-Renaissance", the dawn of the information age. Bitcoin is part of that.

Gratitude is only appropriate if it was the banks' (CEOs, boards, shareholders) intention to create Bitcoin as a result of their cronyism. In other words: gratitude presupposes intent.
Edit: Human rationality and human morality comes from our consciousness and therefore a deed can only be moral if it is intentional, meaning that it has started in the consciousness. And since the banks did not intend to foster a good Bitcoin environment, we have nothing to thank them for.
This one speaks wisely. The banks deserve nothing but our disgust. Do you also thank organized religion for all the crusades, jihads, witch-hunts, burning at the stake, and other forms of unimaginably horrific torture throughout the ages for producing ATHEISM today? No, you don't. Fuck the gods, fuck the masters, fuck the banks, fuck the politicians and the corporate laywers, fuck the nation-state dominated world that has been governed by violence instead of reason. All of this trash should be swept into the dustbin of history with great enthusiasm.

Whats your financial goal with Bitcoin?Lets work together to realize our goals
My goal with being involved in Bitcoin is more spiritual than financial. This technology has the very real potential to make this world a better place for everyone. The end of the nation-state war machine, with it's infinitely printed murder money.

If you were into Bitcoin back in 2010-11, you didn't even NEED to buy them because they were so easy to mine. It was like, "run your computer for free money that isn't really worth anything.... yet."

Yes, I agree, it's doomed. You should sell me all your BTC, for cheap, before the crash comes! PM me, I'll give you great deal in super-trustworthy and definitely-not-going-to-crash-EVER US dollars for all your soon-to-be-worthless BTC. Hurry, before it's too late!
