Just saying. The guys on bloomberg didnt just randomly happen to get rich. And i have a feeling they are about to get richer.
Yeah, they may be rich, but they can't buy a supersized Coke where they live, so the jokes on them.  Can you buy a supersized Coke with bitcoin yet? As long as someone wants to sell a supersized Coke for Bitcoin, sure. |

There two things couldn't possibly have anything to do with each other; and I doubt (as in, completely disbelieve) Satoshi has anything to do with any government entity. If it did, it wouldn't have any of the properties it has now; Bitcoin would've been inflationary, with an always increasing supply, and sending Bitcoins would not only be expensive, but it would take only slightly less time than anything else. Oh, and it would be backed by the heart-warming smiles of politicians and advertised to death on every public news network as "the most revolutionary, 100% legit alternative to the dollar, which has never been used to traffic drugs and if you use Bitcoin, you will be fighting terrorism." And besides, the last thing anyone wants to do is ween you off the dollar. You might start thinking crazy things, like, "Why is my money so worthless?"

This man is great. He does something I couldn't do; if it were me on that show, the first thing I'd want to do is punch her in the face through the screen. The only points she brings up are how she can run it through the ground--presumably, because she's being paid to discredit Bitcoin, because the dollar is just oh so superior to anything and everything, right? "Oh, it's virtual, but don't worry that most money in circulation is also virtual, I just want to point out that Bitcoin isn't real and doesn't exist in real life." Yeah, okay.
Hats off to him, anyway. He's calm and concise, and that's the perfect image for a user of Bitcoin.

This video needs a hundred million views, and should be studied thoroughly until it clicks. The carpet's being pulled right from beneath our feet and nobody seems to realize it.
I wonder how Bitcoin can play into this scheme? Could it be the single currency that will finally liberate us from this systematic depreciation of life, not just now, but in the future as well?

Haw I wish. I'd scoop up as many as financially possible. Since everyone is thinking this, the price will never drop that low.

I read it a few years ago - its about 1000 pages too long!  So it was a bad book? I never read it myself, nor do I have any interest to. As Roger Ebert said, no good movie is too long, and no bad movie is too short. Therefore, if you thought it was too long, then it was a bad book. Fiction is to enjoy. If you think the book was too long, then you didn't enjoy it, clearly. Which begs the question, why did you bother finishing it? Life is short. Spend it on books you might enjoy. I despise the idiot movie critics (or book critics) who claim a movie or book needed editing - i.e needed to be trimmed, cut, etc. Such individuals are not writers or filmmakers. What they mean to say, is not that the movie or book was too long, but that it was simply bad and unenjoyable. For if you were enjoying a book or movie, why would you not want it to continue? I've always found this funny myself. I believe people force themselves to finish any given movie or novel just to see how the ending goes; only then can they make a valid conclusion whether or not it was good or bad, by looking at the matter as a whole, completed piece. But this seems like behaviour reserved for professional reviewers; one reason why I never finish the books I start. If I'm not enjoying myself, there's not a lot of point. It ceases to be entertainment and becomes a chore--which is funny, because people are so accustomed to chore, so I suppose it's not surprising, knowing this, that people reason to finish books they're not enjoying. Or maybe they're criticising it through the eyes of a writer, which would be a valid criticism; some books have too much filler. By assuming different roles, is it possible to enjoy a novel as a reader, yet as a writer, believe it did not meet the punch in a timely manner? |

That's neat. I never read this novel; is it a good'n?

Must be a glitch. Also, it looks suspiciously like a date... OTOH, someone might've fucked up. |

didn't the opposition propose taking from low income earners instead?
whatever, I've never put anything extra into my super - I never expected it to be there if I ever reached retirement age.
I think the most worrying thing is that Australia is doing this when they were among the least affected by the GFC - imagine whats coming for the rest of the world.
A gigantic axe. The rich are now attacking the poor directly, and transforming the mystic middle class into lower-classmen. All aboard the Bitcoin train!  Choo-choo, mother fucker! Knock knock Who's there?  A mother-fucking TRAIN |

What we really need is a coin which mines blocks every second, and rewards miners with cents. We could call it Alumicoin: the aluminum to Minconi's bronze to Litecoin's silver to Bitcoin's gold.
C'mon u guise we'll be rich!

At least the majority of commenters are pointing out Heidi's a hack. If everyone was screaming in agreement, I'd be a saaaad panda.  |

Dollars are backed by gold, we sell dollars, governments want their money, they get our gold.
Not my fault they abandoned the gold standard; I wasn't even a twinkle in my father's eye. Today, by using Bitcoin, I am giving the government their well-deserved spanking. I will give them another tomorrow. When they're ready to grow up and learn from the mistake they've made every day for the last few decades, they can go ahead and setup a national BTC wallet to squash this hole they've pulled us into. |

If Bitcoin outperforms the dollar, then the nation's debt can go poof--that is, if the gov wants to ditch the central bank and take on Bitcoin. As we all know, they're off their leash and bound at the hands of another entity, so it's now a game of currencies. I believe there was someone recently who mentioned currency wars... Bitcoin stands the greatest chance against destroying the dollar. Some people don't want this to happen. But some people don't understand the predicament we're in.
