I published it at reddit  http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/18hidg/why_bitcoin_is_better_than_gold/  . It would probably look better in a blog post.

I've read this multiple times but I can't remember where. does anyone have a source for this upcoming change?

Does anyone have a link for where it is posted that some future bitcoin client will start using more user friendly public addresses for receiving funds?

no. I'm pretty sure in the span of just a half hour earlier there was over half a million usd changing hands.

If a btc exchange was richhhh..... couldn't it stabilize the price of bitcoins by buying some when there is a sudden excess of them on the market and releasing them slowly when there wasn't?

I skimmed some info about litecoins and I think it said that CPU processing power will be the dominant force rather than more parallel, GPU or asic power.

Here is my question though............ isn't a distributed program where you want to keep power into hands of many people better with the parallel way? For instance when you go to butterfly labs and look at their highest end mining asic... all it really is, is a box full of smaller asics. What that basically means is that it's very modular in the sense that even the smaller players have the same performance proportional to their investment that bigger players do. But wouldn't a CPU oriented mining system end up being dominated by people with really powerful super computers? (like the CIA and our government probably already has.. )

My thoughts exactly. The seller's plan could backfire if the price doesn't drop further after he stops selling. My guess is the plan will work though since when people come to look at the price and all the sudden it's 21 dollars they will sell reducing it even further causing the panic. I bet it will drop down to 14ish and then pop back up to 17-18 for a bit.

what's the volume today compared to other days?

dropping like crazy

Oh I see. Thanks!

Hmm i'm not sure. Usually "garner support" is used. Garner trust is sort of the same thing unless I am mistaken... it means accumulate.

I was wondering on what legal authority does the state or federal government have the power to ban a plant from being grown? Such as marijuana.

Does this mean essentially that he thinks taxes should come from collected revenue and only spent after collected basically? Therefore nothing is created or borrowed?

I was thinking about mobile apps and selling them... but I thought it might be a good idea to simply advertise bitcoin for the free version of the app. what do you guys think?

So what's to prevent a foreign company from building them?

That is seriously coollllllllll. The meeting and their office. I wish I worked for them.

I took some of your suggestions and made modifications. I think the quality of this article is improving.

Is that a preference of yours or am I making a mistake?

Your criticisms were very helpful. I have now rewritten parts of it.

I think we are in a bubble that will correct, as many do, but I also think that is an assumption. I'll call it the bubble assumption. If the price of bitcoins is going up at this rate and we think it is a bubble and it will come back down it makes the assumption that whoever is buying the bitcoins is doing so for a short term investment. Or it makes the assumption that the "correction" hasn't already happened, and yet either new investors, or the same ones simply bought their way through it. It makes the assumption that as the price rises... those who feel it is a bubble still haven't yet sold, and that money hasn't gotten into more "steady" hands.

I could go on and on but the truth is there are many possibilities and I don't think there is enough information to really know one way or another what the price of bitcoin is going to do.

I wish I was a big fish
