The problem is not cutting a switchback in a mountain side, but building superhighways or roads through properties belonging to people who don't want those roads built. Things don't always scale up easily.
They would scale up, literally.   |

Satoshi "just" brought already existing ideas together in a clever way. It's believable imho that he is just one person, and not a zillion dollar funded government agency.
Regarding conspiracy theorists that are often unfamiliar with open source and large community-driven projects and can't believe how such a thing can come out of the blue, I often point them to MAME. I don't know how many thousands of man-centuries have been put into it, it emulates thousands of arcade games almost "too perfectly", is driven by passion alone and surely has no government agency or corporation behind it.

hab ich mir auch schon gedacht, wenn's so billiges Negativzinsgeld gibt heutzutage, dann geb ich meine kostbaren Bitcoins nich her, wenn ich mir 'ne Insel kaufen will.  |

Tante Edit: ok, gibt's anscheinend schon.

+1, count me in.
And agree, Berlin is way cooler than Frankfurt.
Which is perhaps reason why we should reserve Berlin for the $2500 party (i.e. next summer).
That'd be just about a week later then... don't stress me out dude. |

Ich denk, viele cashen aus, kurz bevor der Kurs 1000 erreicht, weil sie denken, das viele auscashen, wenn der Kurs bei genau 1000 ist. Das weiß ich, weil das war auch mal mein Plan. Aber ich glaub ich wart noch.  |

Bitcoin In Context, A Brief Cultural History Of Money - Lui Smythhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFum6M7p-dQLui Smyth vs Adam Smith Myth, always good to see this old story debunked, should happen more often in the Bitcoin community or among US Libertarians in general.

Anyway, I know at least one person that has a double digit number of bitcoins, yet is homeless. Another is surviving off of food stamps and sub-minimum wage jobs. All are hanging on to their bitcoins for dear life.
They could trade them back and forth on localbitcoins.com easily with a premium of 5-10% each trade. |

Bitcoins are not currency yet. Bitcoins are the limited, unforgeable digital coupons in a global decentralized value transfer system. As soon as this system has gained sufficient adoption and occupied its full market share potential, Ludwig von Mises' regression theorem will apply and it will be a currency having been born in and grown out of the digital realm.

The world is seeing the introduction of a new currency. To understand what this can do, it is useful to look at the 'ad absurdum' argument of radically changing the currency asset.
Imagine a pretty island economy. Everyone goes about their business as usual. For as long as people remember they have been using black shells as their currency. Some people that have worked hard and done well have hoarded socks full of the black shells. They feel pretty secure they can live out their lives wanting for nothing.
Now shock horror! The people of our island wake up the next day and suddenly only white shells are accepted in the economy. People still working can expect to be paid in the new white shells and life will go on pretty normal for them. But those people that had hoarded the black shells can find themselves poor overnight. And other people that just happened to live on top of a pile of formerly useless white shells are the new wealthy elite.
Bitcoin has the potential to create a big change the worlds wealth distribution. Like a reshuffling of the cards. But don't expect those with a big stash of the old currency to take it lying down. Soon they will realize a switch is going on, and they will rush to get into the new wealth asset. This will be the great tipping point where the future distribution of wealth is decided.
False premise for today. The rich do not "hoard" any black shells, or fiat USD. Everything is invested somewhere. If you have stocks in Apple, and white shells become the dominant currency, Apple will switch over to the white shells as well to conduct and sustain their business. You were invested in the company Apple, not in black shells. Ideally you won't have lost anything. The same in theory if you have black shells (resp fiat USD) in your bank account. Ideally, a bank is just an intermediary between lenders and loaners, and they would conduct the transition black shells to white shells pretty seamlessly. In practice and reality of course they're gonna use that scenario to rip off the clueless big time. |
