The price is too low.

Like this lady's lips:

I guess not so much better as the second half of the 80s the economy did fairly well. His first years brought on a lot of economic insanity and I believe a lot of it has to do with trying to get the dollar back after the Carter years. I am not a big fan of Reagan's huge deficit spending though.

I spend bitcoins all the time, it's like pulling out a credit card by now. The first thing after my last paycheck was probably a plane ticket to London for the London expo using cheapair.com

It is very fast. My company sends out the payroll on Thursday and I usually get paid on Friday, but looking at my e-mail, the first check showed going through on Friday my second check showed it going through on Thursday. Some of my co-workers use USAA so they get paid on Thursday, most regular banks have always given me a delay.

If you are looking for a better estimate I will pay closer attention to the time next paycheck.

Updated the chart.

Looks like we were close to the linear price (between halvings) until the BitStamp crash.

I am confident it will return eventually.

Is this the address?
117 Wallis Road, Hackney Wick, Hackney, London E9 5LN

It is different from the location I saw on one of the maps for conferences.

I would rather get a hotel near the expo.

The only way it is proven a failure is if it is not accepted and not mined.

No matter the price, I still get paid in bitcoins and can spend it for flights, hotels, Amazon purchases, I can trade for euros via localbitcoins to pay my rent and for food.

I will not worry until those things start to go away.

I think MtGox was still up when they were doing that, you just couldn't get your coins or cash out. They were using MtGox points/rewards/whichever to transfer the funds.

I think with Pirate he had a thread like so many you see "I have a way to make you money, give me your bitcoins". The only people who made any money on that were taking such a huge risk by being the initial people to give him bitcoins. Then as they started getting returns they verified that it was "legitimate" and others started sending him their bitcoins. Those first people are probably the only ones that didn't lose their shirts. By the time it seemed "safe" (because of so many claiming they were getting what they were promised) the money was gone.

I almost jumped on that, the return was very tempting. I think like 10:1

Yet another thread where someone asks a question. The question is answered in the first page, the OP is never heard from again.

Exact same thing happened in the US from 2005 to 2009. Prices did not continue to go up.

How many years have Canada's housing boom been going on?

I recall a similar debate when Bittorrent got started.

There were several people who would not use it because it was being used to send child porn.

Bittorrent is still going so I guess it was not boycotted by everyone.

Nah, just another weak hand that when his investment goes up to $120k and starts to fall he drops Bitcoin and goes back to his notes.

That is not of any use to Bitcoin.

If he has 100k and he does not want to lose his money when the dollar crashes or if he is tired of supporting wars and violence, then I would say convert it all to bitcoins and never look back. But the 6 to 12 month thing kinda gave him away.

Profit in what? If you want more fiat out of Bitcoin then you may want to just stick with fiat instead.

If you get a leader in there that wants to bring value back to the CAD, they will raise interest rates.

Reagan did this in the early 80s raising interest to almost 20%. It brought a shock to the economy at first but ended with a better economy overall.

Yes, as long as I follow the same process of FIFO or LIFO.  I think LIFO makes it easier for keeping close to the price I paid when I spend.
