We will see. Maybe pizza became much more expensive than it is now. For example, you would be able to buy only 10 000 pizzas but you will still have one bitcoin that has a value of 150 K+ dollars ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) My lowest was 160 pizzas and about that estimation... One is sure, it would be fantastic for all of us that have any amount of bitcoin on saving.

Nothing specific stays in this article, no solid explanation why his prediction can come true. Million dollar for bitcoin is such a SF scenario, especially taking in consider the date that he took for his prediction. I don`t think that anyone take this kind of predictions for serious.

I understand why merit system has been implemented, something just need to be done to reduce great number of new participants on this forum. Maybe there is no better way to do that but I think that this system is not that good. To became a senior member now is almost impossible, not to talk about heroes and legends. Even quality posts doesn't get merits often. There is also possible 'I will merit u, you merit me or my friend' system that people are surely using... But ok. It definitely works the job that they are created for. Many non quality posters and new arrivals are limited. About noticing the signatures... I do notice all of those because I do like to see what is behind that signature. Don't need merited post so I could pay bigger attention on the project. People that are interested in crypto and its projects are going to see and those who are here for some other reason will pass it anyway,merited or not merited...

This is my second bounty campaign. For the first one I haven't get any tokens, that project failed. I really hope that this one is not going to end up like the previous. Not getting satisfaction in income will definitely effect on me. I might become one of those 25%. On the other hand, it is not such a complicated activity, being a part of bounty campaign. Doesn't require to much time for that. You have minimum of target to achieve, ten to fifteen posts per week and there is still possibility to earn something. At the same time, you can gather information and getting known with the experiences of the the people here. And that counts too.

I have to say that it looks and I feel happy to see that growth from yesterday. Looks promising, although It kinda stopped on 3900-3950 range. I hope that those four thousand wasn't pick of some small wave.

We can not know that, it can only stay in domain of speculation. There is also another question that is in coloration... Will it get back to its ATH. Anything is possible and as much as we believe we have to be ready for all the scenarios. Looking bitcoins complete chart we can see that there was ups and downs, one year its going down, next he is recovering completely. I hope history will repeat once again and that this year we will see bitcoins ATH comeback.

I like your analogy about whales and small fishes. That same thing came on my mind yesterday, when I saw rising trend in the crypto market. Any side income can improve life of an individual, if there is enough space, free time to enjoy yourself. And I see bitcoin(trading, bounty campaigns etc) as one of the greatest tools to achieve that goal.

I'm afraid that they won't allow for something to change in current currency system. As you said those organizations are powerful. Have enough power to prevent that kind of event. To big stake is in the game.

There is no much places where you can use bitcoin. People should first buy and than use it for purchasing everyday life needs, which is bit complicated. If people would receive salary in bitcoin then they could use it without any additional moves. Majority as you noticed is not to much interested in using bitcoin as a currency because they don't want to think to much about paying service, they just want to get it done. And with bitcoin it still isn't possible.

I don`t know what is better, to know what would be reward for your work or not and get surprised, pleasant or unpleasant. Personally, I love to know what would be amount that I deserved for my participation in some work or project than to think about it constantly what will be the result, how much I will receive. That way I could manage the potential profit. On the other hand, it`s always better to get more than less xexe, but the uncertainty really goes on my nerve ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Kids between what age? Because for me from the age 1-10yrs old is still the developing process and they have to enjoy that childhood because they will never become child again. I mean they don’t need to take life seriously at that age, they can save money instead and when the right age comes like 12-18yrs old they can now start to learn about investing not just on cryptocurrency but also in other way.
Good point. Maybe boundary could be moved a bit lower than 18 years, kids these days are becoming mature earlier than couple of decades ago. Especially when technology is involved. Also, young people because of lack of experience, are suitable to be tricked or seduced on some way. Boundaries are not there for no reason, they should serve as protection for kids. And again, OP has a point too. Just because he is not 18, young man shouldn`t be restricted from making and doing something that he likes and is talented for..

Spread your assets on few sides. Give chance to some coin that you believe in, that has small value in price and has a potential to grow in the future. Participate with smaller amount of cash on that. Rest of the money put in bitcoin and ethereum investment, also spread the investment on 40/60, 70/30 or something like that. Personally I would invest more in btc than on eth but both are good choices, final decisions would be up to you.

In sport there is expression that 10-15% is talent and the rest is hard work. By my opinion, it can be applied in this particular case too. There are people that really have That nerve and are very successful in whatever they are doing because they were born for that, but wouldn't become successful without hard work. Talent just makes them super good.

There are people that find investing in alt very attractive from profit point of view, believing that the value of particular coin will increase so so much. It's easier to imagine that something with the price of 0.3 dollars goes on, I don't know, 500 dollars for example, than to see how bitcoin climb on fifty thousand dollars. Maybe it is the best decision to invest in bitcoin but there will always be people with different vision, especially if there is wide offer to choose.

Wall Street is such a strong institution that death of it is very hard to imagine. We will have to wait to see if this news is true or if it's just a speculation. Lots of people are hoping and are believing in blockchain as a revolution of currency system but, as I was writing about similar subject numerous of times, I don't think that it can pass by the greatest players just like that. They will find a solution to continue with the system that makes them the only side that consider about everything when money and payment system is involved...

I don't know how many bitcoins Sathoshi has but I assume and it would be logical that is in possession of great number of coins. About the address... I don't know that information and personally I don't care. Sorry. I'm just curious, why would you want to find his wallet address anyway?

I understand that Jack has four million followers on Twitter, so it should have big influence on people. What effect that could have on the market is questionable but surely is a good advertisement for bitcoin. In my opinion, it should be more safe to invest in Bitcoin than in any altcoin. It is the strongest one, the coin with greatest support of the community. They all can collapse in the future but looking from this position, alts have more chances for that than bitcoin.

I've read about death of this man few days ago. What can I say, so abstract. I believe in your study and it is most certainly like that, but speaking in my name only, I never feel 100 percent safe. I hope that you people wouldn't mind, I will make parallel analogy. Poker Stars is probably the greatest poker site in the world, having all that need to protect the assets of their users. I had situation where my money has disappeared right in front of my eyes, 200 hundred dollars. Maybe it's not the same thing, poker site and crypto wallets or exchanges but the hackers can find the way and eventually will find the way. It is something that we have to live with and hope that we are not going to be target of their activity.

Those who invested in bitcoin way back 2009 had not experienced any bull run before nor have much knowledge about the blockchain technology, yet they took the risk to invest. You and I have witnessed a bull run and heard about the numerous potentials of crypto so why do we still have to feel reluctant to invest in bitcoin. Let's be optimistic about our digital assets because its all we have.
It's an one-sided version of the story and doesn't really reflect on what the community thinks. What made you think that the people who had invested back in 2009, don't have any technical knowledge?? I would rather say, those people were actually more knowledgeable about blockchain than all newbies combined here! They are the ones who actually believed in the technology and not though much about the pricing of it. Rather, those who have invested in 2017, a majority of them are speculators who don't have any technical knowledge. Majority of them had invested in bitcoin because they wanted to make money and didn't care much about the technology. Very well said. This post should close this subject. Long story short, pretty much everything is said. Couple of merits for you sir ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I do believe in project and I do believe in its good future. I also would like to have financial benefits out of investing in bitcoin, why not. Those are my reasons for staying with it, I think that It is more than enough ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

The United States has one of the best approaches as how to treat Bitcoin from a tax perspective. The government simply views the coins as property and you pay a capital gains tax (unless you live in Puerto Rico) when you sell them. You can still get jail time if you sell them in bulk as an unregulated money exchanger but most people wouldn't fall into that category. More countries should take this simplistic view on how to tax/regulate Bitcoin and stop thinking of it as a currency. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) What is that? I think that considering bitcoin as an asset and starting to apply taxes to the owner is indeed a very good choice for a country, but in reality the owners don't want it, because basically bitcoin is money, so it must be used as a payment tool rather than storing media, if only categorized as assets, the function of bitcoin as a currency will disappear, and the era of the currency revolution will stop, and the world will remain controlled by the dollar as an international currency, and this is a monopoly currency system. I agree with both of you guys. The country will embrace bitcoin, will have nothing against and will even support it if they tax it. Everything is good as long as they have an insight on things, in this case bitcoin transactions, number of owners, pretty much everything about it. On the other side, its function as a currency as ningrumxxi said will disappear, so as the revolution, but I highly doubt that it can be different on any other way. As you said, current monopoly currency system will remain for now, developers and creators of it are so strong and surely are not willing to let it go.
