Mmm you guys need to check your math. OP is talking about 21 BTC, not 1 million BTC.. no one has 1 million BTC besides Satoshi I think.
If you have 21 BTC you are part of the 1 million club because only 1 million people can ever own 21 BTC thats what op is talking about, not 1 million BTC or USD..

I am in Japan so it's about 1 dollar per 0.33l can or bottle so about 325 cans of 0.33l which give us a total result of around 107 liters of coke. That is way too much coke, my stomach hurt just from thinking about drinking that much. I haven't drank coke in a lot of years, only very sporadically when I go to eat a burger (if you are going to eat fast food then why not add a coke).

Mixing services aren't a solution, they are centralized and they keep logs, plus it's annoying as it gets to have to send your funds somewhere, then get them back, then buy or pay whatever. It should be just a single click like a regular transaction, otherwise it's a waste of time. Also the interests of governments will eventually collide with Bitcoin's... governments will abolish cash in the next decades, I don't think they are going to like the fact that an alternative economy is possible outside their closed source electronic super controlled money nightmare, so you might as well go to the end and give everyone maximum anonymity as possible before it's too late. Of course the possibility to do transparent transactions must still be there because it has it's uses (for example managing money of an organization where the funds are shared, so this way you avoid corruption).

This is nonsense. You have way more chances of losing your phone as in physically losing it because of a mistake, than getting your Bitcoin hacked on a desktop given that you are taking some really basic security measures. Just download anything strange and don't visit strange webpages and that's all.

There are way more chances of us hitting 1 million dollars per coin than we have seeing Bitcoin go to 0. I would say around 80% of it going to 1MM vs 20% of it going to 0. The fact that governments may or not ban it is irrelevant... we have seen this all before. If they dont ban it then we reach mainstream status, if they ban it Bitcoin becomes an underground worldwide hit, both scenarios would make current holders rich as hell.

The fact that WU still is a leading brand out there shows how much marketing and exposure matters. If people were aware on Bitcoin absolutely no one would use WU to make international transactions, it's just a matter of comparing fees and you will see how much of a scam using WU is.

How are you doing in BTCJam? I want to get involved in delivering loans to people so I put some of my Bitcoin stack in movement but im not sure about BTCJam since i've heard way too many people getting scammed even by A+ certified borrowers.

The first reason to buy Bitcoin is because you believe it's going to be big in the future, I don't understand Bitcoin if it's not for the long term. Of course you can use it for daily stuff but right now there aren't many reasons for the people in the first world except on certain situations, but in the future it will be huge when the goverment annihilates cash.

I think reddit is still the best way to go. You get the news and then a lot of interesting comments. It's really easy to get what happened during a period of time you stop paying attention to Bitcoin for a while (sometimes I do this because I need a short vacation due stress of reading way too much stuff).

You just can't expect them to use since most don't really know it even exist. It will take some more years until we make Bitcoin more user friendly and appealing not only to girls but the common folk. I think using Bitcoin will look very different in 5 to 10 years, the addresses system is somewhat a bit odd to the outsiders. Having to generate new strings of weird characters each time to get money is not very intuitive.

If we improve Bitcoin anonymity, maybe we could have current Bitcoin whales to privately put bounties on terrorists. If they can do it anonymously, I think they would be more prone to do this, because if they do it with their real names they would get on deep trouble. Right now it wouldn't be a good idea to do this if you were a Bitcoin whale unless you really have the balls to be on the spotlight.

I think you would be part of the 210,000 group. Satoshi is part of the 21 group, because as far as I remember, he was the only person to own 1 million Bitcoin, which is pretty insane. But who knew Bitcoin would reach any value, back then you were insane to think it would reach 1 dollar, let alone 1k+.

Im not sure how many years we can keep that map looking that green. Our interests will eventually collide. You can keep pretending that Bitcoin and banks can coexist but I think eventually there will be a conflict of interests and either we make a tradeoff or they will have to, then we'll see what's really up. To get up to that point it may take a lot of years tho.

What you mean locked, encrypted? Is it a core wallet? (wallet.dat)?

Well in that case, im afraid you are out of luck. The only way to access it, you would need to know the password, there's no other way around it. Even if the passworld was weak, I don't think bruteforcing is a viable option.

It's extremely hard to predict. There are some scientists that predict singularity reached actually a lot of years before we reach that, meaning that IA will be as intelligent as us or more... im not sure about this, but in case this happened, I wonder what the repercussion would be. Would a super IA more intelligent than us be able to create a "better Bitcoin?"

I think apple has absolutely no business in trying to come up with their own currency.. I don't see them becoming pro-Bitcoin given their strong centralized and closed source policy, so what I think that will happen is they will simply try to compete against Paypal using the goverment's electronic fiat.

Then what does p2p mean to you? To me it means exactly that... peer to peer + cash, in other words, the features of a peer to peer network with the features of cash, which as gmaxwell said include not being able to trace funds and fungibility, something that Bitcoin lacks right now. Lets hope that good work keeps being made in this direction. I cant wait for the confidential transactions.. I just dont like the idea of people knowing what kind of money you move, or if you want to receive donations for your code, art, or whatever, people shouldn't know what amount of donations you are getting. This seems pretty basic to me.

China is mostly mining. I think actual usage.. im not sure. Probably Argentina, where their local currency is going down the shiter and people are finding in Bitcoin a good way to stay away from the goverment. This will go worldwide as fiats starts crumbling one after another.

Mmm.. im on my early 30's.. honestly I don't think about this sort of thing right now. I hope I don't have to think about it in a lot of years. I hope that I can be very wealthy in 10-15 years and enjoy the wealth myself. No one knows I own Bitcoin, I don't have many, but they could be very valuable in that time. I don't think my parents and family would know how to use it anyway.

I am under this impression that (you can call me conspiracy nutjob if you want) the goverment is financing those huge mines we see on documentaries and the workers are all paid by the goverment too, and meanwhile they want to stop the population from learning about Bitcoin and using it. I think they want it all for themselves and hold them because they aren't dumb and see the huge potential long term.
