If the same number of people on facebook (700 million) end up holding $25 worth of bitcoins each, the market cap would be $17.5 billion. That pegs bitcoins at $1750 per bitcoin if 10mil bitcoins were in circulation.

Vladimir, your derogatory remarks here don't look very nice, you know?

You clearly have a conflict of interest - you have your own forum and want people there.

Personally, I wouldn't go to a thread that announces another forum and start bashing their idea to create a separate forum.

But it's just me.

So I said investor instead of adopter. I'm such an asshole for that slip in semantics.

But you think selecting specifically for an anomalous series is accurate? It's short-sighted and basically just sounds like early-investory-i'm-jelly syndrome, which is spreading on this forum like mouth herpes at a rave.

The log chart is distorted as it includes history? C'mon, man. That is just retarded. It's relevant to users today in as much as the current price is relevant.

Do you buy stocks by only looking at today's price? Hey, XXX is trading at $23. That seems like a pretty cool number...

Of course, you're right..    Tell me o'Guru where should we go now after "cashing out" ?

You must have a better place in mind ?
US$Dollahs perhaps ?  Paypal ? LOLCoins ? Gold Certificates ?  Actual chunks of Metal ?

Oh, you dont have a better alternative that can do what Bitcoin can ? 

Then GTFO and stop crying abandon ship when your best alternative is the empty ocean.

So who's buying bargain Bitcoins this morning?

Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen...

I don't think you understand how medicine works. Doctors have to train hard to diagnose correctly and provide a solution to the diagnosis (You say misdiagnosis happens all the time but this is a fallacy. For every case of misdiagnosis that has a bad outcome such as death there are hundreds, if not not thousands, of correct diagnoses, the difference being that the incorrect diagnoses are the only ones you hear about). Your opinion that doctors have no accountability is also a complete load of bollocks. If people die, the health body will want to know why, assuming you're living in a country with even an ounce of regulation. Fuck, even if it doesn't have a regulatory body because you're living somewhere like somalia, the family of the deceased are gonna be pretty fucking pissed too.

You also don't seem to understand how the free market works. The market only works because experts in their field have the knowledge and foresight to put shit into practice and do it correctly, as well as at an effective cost or rate of return. Getting together a bunch of idiots with no information about how to do anything and then suggesting that they could somehow do the same thing is a load of bunk. It's like suggesting that you could replace one expert in rocket science with 200 farmers and expect them to be able to solve equations about throat diameter and stagnation points on rocket engines from first principles.

Your "fact" about Wikipedia is also pretty much a lie. Wikipedia at this point is considered terrible by most educational institutions, and infact several of my friends at universities have reported that even citing wikipedia as a reliable source of information is likely to get that paper failed (at my universitiy it doesn't count as a fail but they do discard the information you obtained from it). I mean fuck, this can be demonstrated quite neatly by the fact that discussion pages about anime and the colour of ball hair are more popular and longer than articles on serious subjects such as Lift, Drag and Gravity or Medical conditions (which I note, have only been discovered, named, diagnosed and figured out by experts in medicine. I mean fuck, the article on "human assholes" actually had one of the longest discussions of all times because so many people deemed it important to argue about which picture of a human butt should be used on the article.

Wow, it's getting super-critical in here, but if you believe in yourself your idea you have to go ahead anyway.

I have a plan to revolutionize the institution of bitcoin and the institution of collectible My Little Pony toys and figurines.  I'm still working out the details, but the basic idea is to establish a bitcoin exchange that will exchange not only between currency and bitcoin, but also My Little Ponies.

The ultimate goal is to use the ponies as the physical manifestation of bitcoins.  Since in person transactions are difficult in a traditional bitcoin situation, a physical token would often be more convenient.  My Little Ponies are an excellent choice because they are already valuable collectors items with intrinsic value.  Like gold, they are pretty to look at, and are often shiny and sparkly.  

There are a wide range of denominations available, from the rare and expensive flutter ponies:

or the My Little Pony McDonalds Complete G4 Set 2011

To the more common toys you can find at any store for a few bucks.  And that's the beauty of this plan, should you need to quickly convert your dollars into bitcoins there are now locations all over the world where you can do it quickly and easily with no hassle. There is no danger of the supply of ponies running out of control because each generation of ponies is always released by Hasboro on a careful, gradual schedule and only made for a limited time. This is just a general outline of my plan, but every revolution has to start somewhere.

If you would like to donate bitcoins or ponies to help me get started, feel free to send a message!

These are all some of the stupidest ideas I've ever heard. Wisdom of the crowds only works when people actually have an idea what they're talking about. It takes years of training
to become a competent doctor and suggesting that by asking 200 people how to cure a rare and relatively unknown disease the correct treatment plan will emerge is just plain lunacy.
The psuedo internet thing is dumb as fucking hell as well because it encourages website owners to make their websites as big and ineffecient as they possibly can so that more packets get sent. You can't compete against it because lawsuits against people who infringe on their IP makes them the sole provider for whatever it is they're doing. It's the stupidest fucking idea because it'd directly go against every single fucking thing the internet is designed upon.

After a monetary system I'm most interested in decentralized internet, which I think could be achieved with mesh networking, and decentralized energy with high efficiency photovoltaics or something like that.
