I believe in a few coins like NXT, Bitcoin etc but One coin I see as a Dark horse (no pun intended) is Darkcoin. No bullshit, this is a coin that is only CPU/GPU minable has only 84million (relatively small these days) and has the killer feature that everyone wants. Namely complete anonymous transactions. Its now only $0.35

No BS, why wouldn't it skyrocket???

This is worse than a ponzi. Not even forest gump would fall for this.

We are still early adapters of bitcoins, most people here doesn't think about it but we are all owners of a big potential richness.
There will be more 4-5 bubbles before the value will reach its place in my opinion.

The idea that the dollar is going to collapse because of all the debt doesn't make much sense. At most, there might be some inflation, but 10% of inflation will be enough to destroy major part of the debt in 10 years, even with higher interest rates.

Anyway, no society collapses because of the collapse of its currency. Any people comparing this to the collapse of the Roman Western Empire is misleading the Op. The Roman currency was seriously debased, but it wasn't this kind of problems that took Rome down, but the sword.

Who knows.

Maybe a bunch of people mining 0.0001 BTC will be sitting on $100 from that one day.

If we truly believe BTC is going to the moon - then technically - these are a great deal for Walmart buyers.

Fast forward 10 years where you hear a dude say:  "Man they were selling those 10G miners at Walmart back in 2014 - i SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT ONE!"

I wonder why they chose BFL. My guess is that they got a great deal or something. I wonder if they would consider selling cointerra 1.6-2 Th or knc jupiters

I hear some of those Islands are pretty beautiful, sounds like a decent place to part with some coins.

any stats how many users are affected by this

Strange that development just ended due to "support for XP ending".  The explanation ignores the fact that people would want to use TrueCrypt on Linux, OSX, and later versions of Windows.  I wonder if a three letter agency coerced the development team into integrating backdoors and rather than do that they just ended development?

PoS coins cannot be decentralized. Early investors/exchanges who sold can always produce an alternate chain with their sold stake and reverse the chain. PoS cannot be decentralized. Dont get caught by hype. Qora is the new hype now.. Wonder when it will stop...

What would be a realistic price for a 1 TH/s miner at the moment?

yea after numerous unsuccessful attempts, 9.11 happened. And even though it was the action of a terrorist group, rather than the actions of a government, the US used that excuse as a justification to topple down a whole government and execute its then prime minister, Saddam Hussein. The reasoning was that some spies of theirs found 'alleged communication' between Iraqi gov officials and Al-Queda.
