With a little editing, you could sell this as an e-novelette on Amazon.
However, I would suggest you remove the Ron Paul bit. No NSA/CIA involvement there. A lot of people had copies of the incriminating newsletters, and many suspect it was the Santorum camp which leaked it. Besides, it devalues the legacy of Satoshi to be likened to a politician.
That aside, if you like, I could place a link to this thread in my sig for a week.
Thanks. A sig link would be cool. Ron Paul was an example, if I knew more about Martin Luther King I might've gone into that or any other figures throughout history who's ideas were right but their human nature past was used against them to attack the idea. I just happened to know the most from the Ron Paul camp, seeing from the inside a very well coordinated attack. |

Why would anyone give money to Google? Ya, nobody gives money to google. They give away all of their services for free. |

Merchant adoption, even if they convert from bitcoins to dollars is all about the amount of time Bitcoin is held thanks to them accepting bitcoins.
If 365 people use one bitcoin that goes from dollars to bitcoin back to dollars over the course of one day, that is the equivalent of one person holding 1 bitcoin for the whole year.
The longer the period, the more people, the less bitcoins available for people on the exchange, the higher the price.
When there was only one option...a pizza, it was such a small portion of the whole bitcoin supply that 10,000 bitcoins were required for the transaction. If there are a large amount of merchants accepting and requiring bitcoin to be held for slightly longer amounts of time, the less the supply for people who want to buy.

I have 30 bitcoins. Should I sell or keep?
Keep 21 for long term so that you can say that you have 1 millionth of all bitcoins. Spend/invest/use the rest. Work on getting to 1 100,000th. |

I think the Great Wall of China is the first known example of flag semafore?
Could be, I didn't know they had that set up. They could have had bitcoins back then. |

I agree with this. A lot of people go around, recording cops and purposely irritating them. It's hard to work under pressure especially when people keep on pushing and pushing you. There are already video recorders and cameras in the cars of many cops so if people have complaints they can always get a judge to allow access to the videos in order to make a claim. People who record cops usually do it because they are pretentious douche bags... just saying.
This. If someone who was practicing their freedom was rude it is best to end that freedom for everyone. Wouldn't want to hurt any more police officers feelings or make them uncomfortable. That's the most important thing after all. |

Another permabull, checking in. Still entirely in bitcoin, still living almost exclusively on it since June of 2013, still using it to buy all my groceries and stuff, and still converting all the cash I get into bitcoin. Bitcoin fundamentals haven't changed. It's still better, faster, and more convenient than dollars or credit cards. Dollar, Euro, and Yuan fundamentals, on the other hand, are continuing to change, for the worse. So  Not at the moment, hopefully that will change over the next few years Have you ever paid for something in person with bitcoins? Sooo easy |

- Telephone
- Radio (including hobbyists)
- Television
- Carrier Pigeon
- Flag Semafore
- Probably other communication systems I haven't thought of
True, Andreas spoke about this on the Joe Rogan show. Talking about how people in isolated countries would take their short wave radio and go to the train track to hook up to it as an antenna, send their message then unhook and retreat to where they were before. Flag semafore could send a message long distance over several hops faster than the earlier Internet connections.  |

Where is the risk in getting bitcoins?
You get the bitcoins...they can't be taken back.

Heh, though I bet if you even had a thousand coins on one drive, you could get a "no win, no fee" contingency deal with a forensic recovery specialist.
If you can find his hard drive, they're yours:  |

Reading the MaidSafe forum, someone asked how its network would cope if a government or other entity effectively and quietly cut off communications between countries or continents and so created two or more unlinked networks.
So applying the question to Bitcoin, when eventually reconnected, how would these networks join back together and reconcile transactions with one another?
quietly? like nobody would notice? Didn't broadcast or forewarn of their intention to do it. A mass uprising by the people. The difficulty to get a block would likely be too high for the cut off country and it would likely take weeks for them to process a single block. Would the Bitcoin network still function normaly within that country? Assuming that it did and was without connection to the larger network long enough for some transactions to occur and be confirmed before joining back, then is that a scenario allowed for in the protocol? Any transaction made in the smaller network would be ignored when joining back in because the blocks found would be after the blocks found on the larger network. |

so what we do on this thread is discuss BTC price movement all day long
This. Price on Bitstamp is down $1. |
|
|
|
|
So, in summary:
Bitcoin is going to $1000!!!
|
|
|
|
|
I can taste the despair right now but I prefer to buy during panic...I will hold off a little longer.
|
|
|

no idea or leak on what it was per BTC yet? (looked thru above thread maybe I missed it?) it's not known...we still don't know the price Tim Draper paid back in July |
|
|
|
|
I will still be buying when the price is 1000+
Buying with dollars and selling with euros because it is the cheapest way to move money from my US bank to my german bank.

BitPools has blockchain voting.
Your eyes have been opened by Bitcoin...why try to upgrade a legacy system?
Satoshi did not say "let's replace the Federal Reserve with a decentralized fiat system". He said, let's revolutionize the way we use money.
So why focus on replacing a voting system for a legacy concept such as voting for people to decide what to do with your money?
What is the point of government? Everyone "gives" them money and they implement large projects supposedly in the interest of those that gave them the money.
Why do we need government to do this for us? Why not pool our money voluntarily for projects that we support?
Look beyond upgrading an old system. Look toward a new system that fulfills the need of the old system.

The question is...could you fry chicken from the heat put off by an ASIC miner?
I think that is a question we all had on our minds.
