Thank you so much for the updates on this case. So apparently the fact that people gave money to a child have less culpability than the folks that tried to clean up the child's mess. Personally, I would be ashamed to go to court to sue a child, but that's just me. I am only a parent. If I missed any major points to this, please point me to the wiki or FAQ.
Irrespective of the motive or the outcome of this decision, it will be advertising for Bitcoin paid for by the plaintiffs.

PLN ? Seriously, they keep buying Formula-1 engines in their race to bottom with debt from EU. It's one of the most inflationary currencies on earth. Inflation in december alone was 2.4%. It looks like they joined the currency war late in the game. I wonder how it's working out for them? |

This is the end of Star Trek vs Star Wars with J.J. Abrams directing both. Is that why he blew up planet Vulcan? Will Spock become the next Jedi Master at Fringe Division? His Star Trek 90210 single-handedly ended the ST franchise forever. Will he do the same to SW? What's next, will he direct The Simarillion as an alien invasion? Somehow J.J. Abrams will find the perfect movie formula that numbs every human mind into the green goo that Seth McFarlane craves and there will finally be world peace.

The pic was the ten year chart of USD to PHP which shows a trend of dropping from 55 to 39. I did not notice the currency war thread. I probably need to post it there. What I am seeing is that large countries with sovereign currencies tend to float and deflate, while larger countries tend to peg to USD and inflate. I just think the smaller countries would benefit from Bitcoin to attract commerce since their exchange rates are undesireable.

Bitcointalk is a fickle forum full of scammers. Some they will throw money at, others will be drawn and quartered. Bruce Wagner was someone that had a history before Bitcoin and because he did not disclose it, he was ostracized by bitcoiners. What he did to promote Bitcoin was arguably more than anyone else since.

I was thinking of a tee with a QR to a blockchain.info address and the text "Steal this Wallet" with small text "good luck with that" underneath.

BTCelieving is why we're here. This poll is to express how we cope while watching this angst-ridden child grow.

It would be fun to see an historical chart with Bitcoin vs real things rather than just other money.

[apology mode] It's not really worth starting a new thread to state what I think is now obvious. Instead, I am going to blatantly ignore the OP to state that I do not believe we will ever see single digit USD prices again. [/end apology mode] Bitcoin is Sixteen, going on 17 |

Proudhon is one of the most sensible posters on this forum.
I appreciate him for his fidelity. He is not just another lemming waiting for an eagle to get him off the ground.  And I think a lot of people with similar sentiment are out there (not only Bitcoin, but other places where people try to store value). Keep in mind the time of this original post was right after the huge crash in 2011 where everyone was saying Bitcoin was done for. It echoes the sentiment of the time.
The only people who thought bitcoin was done for, were those only in it for the profit and not informed enough to understand bitcoin's significance. The price of bitcoins does not matter for bitcoin the protocol. I remember those "dark months" after the bubble, where nearly everyone on the forum was spouting the most negative crap. I think people who didn't understand this thing lost a lot of money, and wanted to make the community feel bad about it. Those of us who stuck through it were the ones who took their profit. From weak hands to strong. This capital is too important to be in the hands of those who don't understand the potential of this system. So alot of PR work still needs to be done, no wait I mean time will tell. Isn't it just normal that people lose their faith after catastrophic incidents like in June'11? You can't expect people to use or trust Bitcoin if it changes conditions like a student in Hogwarts on crack. The protocol doesn't care about the price, but why was it created for again? I don't consider Bitcoins usage too geeky, but for the most people it definitively still is something magical they don't even bother trying to understand at its core. So many contrasts in this community, I can only honor. PR work? While I admire the businesses out there proselytizing the virtues of Bitcoin, ultimately it will be the success of businesses that draws public interest. The incident in 2011 was a paradigm shift for the folks that don't understand Bitcoin, it was one of many to come. As far as lemmings and eagles go, I think one of them nearly did go extinct. Honor if a fine sentiment, but it must be earned. |

I'm thinking of using OKPay as it seems to have the only debit card available that is loadable by BTC.

I initially bought in at $14 after the high (i didn't understand the idea of correction at that point, but from the start I understood the fundamental idea of Bitcoin and stayed with it) - I sold out at about $7 due to cowardice, but I still believed and waited for some positive signs and bought back in more substantially at around $3. I suspect every newbie goes through this at the price point they first buy into - belief, hope, despair, hope, belief. Bitcoin is a baptism of fire. At least we've put the despair part behind us. |

I am waiting for Islamic Evolutionary Biologists to revolutionize genetic engineering in stem-cell research.
Why not petition your own government to legalize this? Banning scientific research for purposes of religion is absurd. Stem cell research is legal in the US. These are exciting times. |

I think the $1 Trillion coin is more of a bargaining chip at this point. Or, perhaps more accurately, a threat. "Work with me or I swear to God I'll mint this coin!"
I think it's more desperation, they're basically running out of ideas, I'm looking forward to this year for sure, there will be only one thing they can do soon enough. I think the coin is more of an intervention in a suicide attempt by a Congress with a 9% approval rating. I say let them jump. Huh? I thought the coin is a suicide threat. Kind of like: I think the $1 Trillion coin is more of a bargaining chip at this point. Or, perhaps more accurately, a threat. "Work with me or I swear to God I'll mint this coin!"
Or: "Hey Russians/Germans/whoever, you know how we owe you a ton of goods and services for those paper dollars you've saved over the years? Well if you don't do what we tell you to do, we'll commit economic suicide by triggering domestic hyperinflation, and then we won't owe you anything because your dollars will be worthless bahahahahaha!" Institutional psychosis. Kinda like "Hey World, the Euro means a bunch of smaller countries can play the same currency manipulation games as the big countries." In fact, all central bank backed currencies play these games without frontiers. |
