$50 is the cost for me to have a verified and registered paypal account or plastic master/visa cards, if I can't pay with bitcoin I'll have to pay $50 because I have no other options, however if I want to buy something in my country all I need is to spend 5 minutes to convert bitcoin to my currency automatically and receive in my bank account within 30 minutes.

I think OP just got franked ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) when will people start using green energy, solar energy? when fossil energy resources diminish and technology needed is not so expensive and is mass produced. When did computers, smart phones become mainstream? when companies started to manufacture micro processors and chips and when it was convenient for people because they had the potentials of making their lives much better and easier. From more than 7B people if 200M decide to test bitcoin for a while to see if they like it or not, what happens if every second 20k transactions broadcast into the network? I know the network get jammed. What happens if hashrate multiplies 3 times in matter of a week? do you think price has the flexibility to follow or market just cripples itself? Do you think someone with $400M will ever take the risk even if it's 1% drop in value which would be $4M loss to him? while we've had 20% decrease of value and even greater %s.

Using government's delivery system? what do you mean by tagging our items? you realize things like this has no credibility in courts of law right? You can't prove ownership of property by providing evidence from a decentralized source. in case if you missed the memo, peer to peer and decentralized systems are not working under any law but the law of code and protocols.

Just few minutes ago I read a thread here that blockchain faced another hacking attack. this is not first time I am reading that. blockchain hacked several times in future. it is really not 100% secure. but yes. as you said most people still love to use blockchain as this is easy to use and sending and receiving funds is very easy with that. but I suggest you one thing. use blockchain only for receiving and sending small amounts.. for storing big amount use a cold wallet.
Why do you spread false information? they have never been hacked, clients info is not saved on their databases and they let you have private keys of addresses, I have never lost my bitcoin balance there, have you? blockchain.info is one of the first and for me the best web wallet, I wouldn't suggest other services as long as this one is working perfectly.

Then I think we're moving towards no micro transactions network is that right? if adoption takes off as it is more traffic but less small transactions= more serious value transferring, and a healthy incentive for running full nodes. Personally I wouldn't mind to pay from 15 up to 50 cents for sending and receiving in under 1 hour.

More than 270 pages to reach the conclusion which is more dopamine and more adrenaline= more gambling. Why the light from sun is warm? I expect 100 pages to get my answer. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

Yes, holding for a long term is a great idea but I don't think that you hold all your earnings, there are lot of opportunities awaiting out there and don't depend all in bitcoin. Yes, bitcoin can change our life but I am not advising that you just depend on bitcoin, explore don't just wait and hold. You can use bitcoin in other ways like opening a new business etc.
Why to simply hold them for a long term when we have an choice to grow them in trading and I will never keep my coins idle in wallet without using it anywhere as it will make bitcoins a weaker currency in future so I will prefer to invest them in trading and try to multiply them and I am sure the number of coins will be much higher in future in compare to only holding them. From a year ago until now the bitcoin price doubled, so if someone could buy 5000 BTC in a month and hold for 11 months he would've owned $4.5m by selling them right now considering the price at the time of buying $450. show me any safe trading or investing method like that. Next year price will be around twice as it is right now and people will doubt it yet again.

This is all the banks doings, tell me something, what happens if network could handle 400 transactions per second? who really gets hurt? I know the answer: banks. our masters are controlling and limiting bitcoin as well, satoshi failed big time.

When I find out that the games I've played were all rigged and there is nothing that I could do about it other than leaving that casino and never go back. losing in gambling isn't a worst thing that could happen because you are entering with the expectation of loss.

What did they decide to do about it? people should realize something about bitcoin, it's like IPv4 and IPv6 while banks and traditional banking system is more like IPv4 while bitcoin is like IPv6. if you know about internet protocols you'd know what I'm talking about.

Reason right? show me a real legit, stable, supported by hundreds of thousands in community alternative, this is really simple Satoshi didn't want a quick cash grab, he did it with love and idealism intentions. though BTC is the best until it's not. other devs act like they own the coin lol.

Cryptocurrencies are more like a private and non financial assets, governments consider them as online toys more of a private club thing. Only bitcoin is a serious matter for them, no government can expect taxes from people not using any national resources, you need to understand why are they taking money as taxes first and see if being involved in crypto could be considered tax-worthy or not? are they providing you with their services while you are doing trades in crypto? if yes then they have the rights to charge taxes.

Problem with open source communities, you asked some questions and answered them yourself, you need to see the successful businesses to follow their example, see how banks are good with earning a high percentage on their money? it's because they lend money with a decent interest rate. If people stop being greedy and enter lending area with low interest expectation they'd earn much more than just holding coins.

Advantages over what exactly? if you think bitcoin at current state has any significant advantage if adopted and used other than mere profit in trading better think again. you could really convince someone a decade from now when people are more open to internet in general.
Tell him this: 6 months ago bitcoin price was under $500 but now is above $900 good luck.

Listen my boy, don't do this because prizolovovovo is a poor old granny she deserves better not to mention lozeykukuku is unable to perform for a week now. Did you understand what I'd just said? if not, welcome to my world. Rolled on my room's floor laughing and waking my cat. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgsafe.org%2Fd62e8177ec.jpg&t=663&c=y_jswcnpdCZYkw)

There is too much laughter in this thread's title, wtf do you think bitcoin is, a sheriff maybe? or did you think an experimental software could take the justice in it's hands? judge Dredd and stuff lol. now answer my question: Could bitcoin prevent global warming or maybe abortions while you are at it. I also need a house and a car please tell bitcoins and friends to provide them for me ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) .

I think this is really a serious problem because no matter how many nodes and miners we have every 10 minutes for blocks with this small size is just pure trouble, I don't know though what exactly is the problem if we had bigger block size?

Don't let me talk about real casinos because it will be a long talk, whatever you try to do in there you'll either end up losing or they will say that you were cheating, counting cards etc. all the slots are rigged only black jack and rolling dice by hands is somewhat legit. Even in online casinos they can easily manipulate the odds and results but still they're the best options if you'd ask me and you could earn a better profit or at least have a real chance in winning.
