It's really hard to peg, as you said; there's just no way to really know.  For informational purposes, we can assume wallets which havn't activity for years are lost, but that says nothing of wallets lost recently...

I'm guessing it's a big number, tho.  It's just never going to be 21,000,000.

Likely; there's a whole lot of Atlas Shrugged fans here.  I haven't read it yet but it seems like something I'd enjoy.

Yeah, it's my favorite novel!

Care to tell me about it?  Grin  Or specifically, her philosophy.

Not a currency?

GUFFAW.

A business blatantly lying to ensure profits?

Well, sarcasm aside, I'm serious; this is the most blatant lie I've heard in at least a few months.  I haven't watched Fox news in a while so that time frame is longer than usual.
2888  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are you guys down about? The future of Bitcoin never looked so bright! on: April 12, 2013, 02:37:27 AM
If Bitcoin survives this (and it will, believe me,) then it's definitely going to be here forever.

And I'll say that again when it crashes again from $1000 to $300 Tongue

You can buy anything online using bitcoin.

Can I buy happiness yet?
Check Silk Road.

You really can buy anything online with Bitcoin!  Grin

You guys it's still worth $1,000,000/BTC in the long-run gosh golly gee wiz

2891  Economy / Economics / Re: Price stability is price control on: April 12, 2013, 02:32:29 AM
Prices change because of supply and demand. No one can directly control demand, so the only tool a central authority can use to control price is to change the supply of money.

In order to increase the supply they counterfeit.
In order to reduce the supply they steal it.

That's what price stability means: theft and counterfeiting.
Funnily enough, the gold standard is price control. Only fiat currencies, which are not subject to central banking, are truly free market.

Fiat seems to be in pretty strict control in how much it's worth (that is, less and less based on how much exists.)

Finally, we need more people/businesses/services to accept BTC.

You can buy anything online using bitcoin.

Well written OP, thanks for this Grin

I'm completely on-board with what you're saying; I wonder how the statist feels, though.

Remember the first time you got on a bicycle without training wheels? How scared you were you were that you were going to break your face? Yeah, like that.

I actually fell off a few times myself ha ha Grin

Now I can ride my bike with no handle bars, no handle bars, no handle bars...
2894  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Holy Shit! Bitcoin is tanking! on: April 12, 2013, 02:21:25 AM
People would be crazy to sell BTC at $15.  It costs more to mine the fucking things.
2895  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Holy Shit! Bitcoin is tanking! on: April 12, 2013, 02:15:10 AM
Bitcoin's been tanking for a while Tongue

I think the OP is attempting to form a union.

YOU GO OP!  FIGHT THE SYSTEM!
What do unions have to do with fighting the system? Unions ARE the system. Sad

Well, they're not supposed to be Sad

We need a new name for unions.
2897  Economy / Economics / Re: IRS to come after people for selling Bitcoins on: April 12, 2013, 02:03:30 AM
No, do NOT ask the IRS directly.  They will generally tend to give a self-serving answer and not one that is necessarily the law.

For emphasis Wink

The IRS is interested in the IRS.  If they were interested in anything else, such as human evolution, or the well being of society, they would cease to exist.
2898  Other / Meta / Re: is it just me, or is this forum pain-in-the-ass slow? on: April 12, 2013, 02:01:52 AM
question in the subject.

This means MtGox is working on it, if I remember correctly bitcointalk is hosted on their servers.

Actually I'm pretty sure the forum moved to another server, but it used to be on Gox servers.  I'm not entirely sure, however.

Hosting provided by Private Internet Access, a Bitcoin-accepting VPN.

Hmm I'm still not too sure Grin

Am I the only one here that doesn't have any funds at Mt Gox, opting to store every satoshi I used to own in InstaWallet?

What idiots!

Dude, doesn't instawallet hold your privkeys?  No password.  Scary as Fuck.  What u got a 386 or something?  Buy a fast flash sdxc (45 mb/sec) and install linux on it and the bitcoin client.  Boot off it and only run FF with noscript disabling unknown scripts and java turned off.
