Thank god that MS69 sold. Too much temptation 

PM's replied to. Picked up two more coins, only two more to go until I have a complete set! 

Wow, these are absolutely stunning. Now to convince the lady friend that she likes them as well 

Awesome! I'll get that tracking number PM'd out tomorrow when I drop it off at the Post Office. Thanks

PM sent 

Just received my Casascius 1BTC brass 2011 error MS65!

Beautiful coin and got here extremely fast.

Thanks miffman   

Yes it is! ~10 more hours and I should be excitedly PM'ing you 

Received my first Casascius coin yesterday, my second is scheduled to arrive today! 

Pretty exciting stuff. All PM's replied to!

Very nice bars F*D. I love the staged roll out to match that of Ethereum itself, I have been paying very close attention to its development. Unfortunate that the #4's are already claimed 

Out of all the things he would put his face on... I never thought it would be on a Bitcoin atm. Looks good though, pretty awesome!

Now that you mention it...  Does that mean I look for #744, 844, 1444...? So many options.

I just received my first Casascius coin! Thanks for getting it shipped out so quickly and being great throughout the entire process, I couldn't be happier 

Replied! I also changed my original post to reflect the fact that I'm looking for loaded Bitnickels 

All PM's replied to, happy Wednesday everyone! 

"The end of Bitcoin"

You should Google Bitcoin obituaries. Bitcoin has been extremely resilient in the face of adversity. The price may suffer in the short term but it isn't going anywhere 

Calling it a personal trojan is a little dramatic but it is an attempt to circumvent the consensus methods in place for making changes to bitcoin core because it appears that the devs are incapable of reaching consensus on this issue. In my opinion block size is not the biggest issue here, it is how the issue of reaching consensus is reached by the core devs that will have lasting ramifications.

I don't think anyone actually believes that blocks should stay 1mb forever, most devs just disagree on the right way to accomplish the block size increase. A hard fork is not a trivial thing, especially now that the Bitcoin market cap is over $3 billion, and most want a solution that will last the life of Bitcoin so that a hard fork never has to happen again. It's a difficult situation with valid arguments on both sides.

I too have a dream like that... I like to think there's a bright future and that Bitcoin is a huge part of it. Self driving cars, 100% alternative energy and Bitcoin are what I imagine. I guess we'll have to wait and see 

That just makes it easier for you to reach a whole Bitcoin! Gotta love when the market helps you out and you can buy the dip  I'm hoping that your instinct is correct, I would be pretty sad if it breaks below $200 (sustained not including the recent flash crash).
