I am a little bit disappointed that there still isn't anything I can really *buy* at this conference. It seems like it would have been the perfect place to sell ASIC's, or specialized Bitcoin hardware (BFL has a hardware wallet on display) or any sort of Bitcoin stuff (I wanted to buy the ATM on the spot). I know I wasn't prepared with our Laser Engraved Diamonds, so I'm thinking making next conference we might see some real commerce going on.

Is there any boxes of fans

I'm still here at least, though my only real success was getting A1BITCOINPOOL to pay up the 40 or so BTC he owed and tracking down the guy behind "HomelessJackie". I haven't been as active as I used to be. I do intend to start skiptracing regularly once I am financially-independent, which I hope is sometime shortly after my Avalons are delivered.

Who is "the community"?

I am not talking about the best time to cash out. My point is that some anonymous entity controls significant part of Bitcoin supply. Is it really more trustworthy than Federal Reserve? If it moves a single satoshi from the first few blocks, you'll probably see panic selling on the markets.

So I suggest that that entity decides whether it plans to spend bitcoins, or not. If it plans to spend them - then it should announce it in advance and do it at predictible rate, otherwise it would be a pure market manipulation and a nightmare for all bitcoiners.

If it doesn't plan to spend them, then it should destroy them.
