You guys consider Myspace dead by now? Well it's still active. For me dead it's when it doesn't exist anymore, so dunno. I wish Twitter fucking dissapeared.

There are people making decent amounts of money offering services that are basically "we pay us and we make your own shitcoin". It has turned into a whole market moving big amounts of money. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

LTC most likely will be replaced with XMR in the future, for now it will just try to fight a certain down trend.

Its good to see this is still functional. I remember when this had like 20 available coins. Just lol at how the coins dont stop growing. How many coins can the app support before it self destroys? ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

So you say Satoshi Nakamoto is the NSA? What is your proof? Until proof is presented, then Satoshi Nakamoto is a japanese guy.

Just get a Trezor. Does it get any better than this for offline hard storage?

There was never legit Popularity. Popularity = Justin Bieber tier of awareness. When people know what Bitcoin is to the level people know who Obama is, then, then maybe we are talking about real popularity. Until then, we still at baby stages. Enjoy and dont forget to buy your cheap ass BTC before it hits 6 figures.

Even the most efficient ASIC has no ROI for the average miner.
Unless you do ASIC design and fabrication and manage to be able to beat the delivery time before network difficulty goes too high, which many companies failed to do so, you will lose money being a miner.
Yeah but someone has to do the mining or otherwise BTC is legit DEAD.

It's simple, trustness (or lack of it) and lack of information. Most people is too computer illiterate to get BTC and even if they knew what they are doing, it doesnt matter because most people dont trust it and most people don't have enough FIAT to risk into something they cannot trust.
We'll need major moves like eBay accepting BTC for us to see a legit mainstream adoptance.

He can get an Android phone or even better a Trezor wallet so you dont have to get your phone in front of people everytime, I would be worried they would steal it or something.

That Inked Emma girl is legit gorgeous. I wish I was BTC rich so she would be attracted to me, or just a good face would do. If you have a good face, you can work in McDonalds and still get top tier. Too bad im broke and average at best. Fml ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

I think there is a legit mental illness for this. It's like the chicken experiment where the chicken doesn't stop looking through a hole to see if there is any new food. They develop a tick. This is the same, you check all the time to release dopamine in hopes of finding new gains. This would be cool if we weren on this fucking downtrend from hell. I wish I had the courage to not look ever again until 1 year to find out i've made some decent gains at last.

Facebook is already lossing steam, most people are getting bored with it and moved into "cooler" things like Instagram and Twitter. All of this shit is only useful to get laid if you have a good face anyway.

FIAT poor people are poor due to lack of education and lack of desire to work. thus they dont improve their life to get better jobs.. (no aspirations)..
this is the most hilarious i heard of poor people, looks like you never seen the world outside your neighborhood, you really have no respect for lots of people that are forced in certain poor situations, even nowadays.. even in western countries.. you know the world is not made only of spoiled middle class kids (the only one that fit your description) anyway.. i believe the only way to achieve global and common wealth is to remove any currency, bitcoin included. there would not be anymore rich and poor but a collaborative world based on other kind of units/scales. i see in bitcoin a step forward that direction. Thats more like it, but society is not ready for such a revolution. We need thousands of years of evolution so the brain goes past the ape-like state we are still in.

It is my understanding that bitcoin was not designed to solve the wealth distribution problem. It is designed to take governments and banks out of the monetary system. So with bitcoin, you would still have a "rich and poor division", just no one can move your bitcoin except you. (Providing you are the sole owner of your keys)
This division is worse with bitcoin then it is with other measures of wealth. A very small percentage of bitcoin users hold a large percentage of the total bitcoin in circulation. This makes the price very sensitive to sales by these large holders. FIAT poor people are poor due to lack of education and lack of desire to work. thus they dont improve their life to get better jobs.. (no aspirations).. with bitcoins, the bitcoin protocol does not care about your family history, it does not check your resume/CV for experience of which school you went to, bitcoin is not choosy.. AT ALL bitcoin is open to anyone to improve their lives. if they aspire to do so.. all of these basement dwelling cry babies, that want free money without lifting a finger, will always cry that other people have more than them. they will always cry,, i repeat, always dont blame bitcoin, blame yourselves, dont blame greed blame yourslves. everyone is greedy in one way or another but unless you do something about it, you will still be crying next year. do not blame it on mining power.. i have loads of bitcoins and i probably only mined 1% or less of my hoard. i got mine from legitimate work and trade. so dont think the only way to get bitcoins is from mining. mining is a suckers game, instead learn to trade, learn to be a retailer, a sole trader, a contractor, the world is your oyster and you dont really need a resume/CV to start working.. so basement dwellers, go forth and prosper or sit there making excuses.. if you reply with excuses then you wont prosper.. your just wasting your own time sitting there thinking up reasons why you CANT work, rather then finding something you CAN do They cant blame themselves, there is no free will and if they are lazy it's just a combination of genetics and environmental factors that lead them to be that way. Henceforth, no one is to blame for anything, free will is an ilusion and you are just discovering how your life is, that's it. Deal with it. BTC is great, yes, but it does not solve inequality, that's a much deeper issue. You don't solve this with a new currency. Also lol at everyone saying mining it's a suckers game and all that. If there wasn't miners, your precious Bitcoins would be rendered useless.

Oh, no doubt my life was ruined after I realized I could have been a millonaire if I bought BTC back in the time when I heard about it in 2009. Now im forever traumatized for life. Thanks BTC ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) Now i'll have to wait 10 years to make some decent gains, oh well.

What about Sim City? I remember playing it as a kid and it seemed like a legit way to control price and resources. I dont remember if there was a legitimate economic model tho.
Also look for Star Citizen.

I have a feeling we're going to see a surge of gold bugs get into crypto when they see us starting getting closer to $1000 again If you listen near the end of this talk Rubino starts talking about BTC as being complementary to gold as a wealth transfer system. (Keep in mind these are gold bugs who admittedly are still suspicious of Bitcoin yet are still willing to support it) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6-4uSJYneMThere's alot more money waiting on the sidelines than we think ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) Yup, 1K is the magic moment of trust solidification. People will realize no matter how bad things may seem, the big picture is UP and they will all rush to get in before it goes higher. The Wall Street and big Gold holders will get in sky rocketing the price, then the boat missers (mainstream) will try to get in in smaller amounts as well.
