I think that BTC is still a relatively young currency.  It takes time for people to collectively build up enough trust in a currency.  It probably takes about 10 or more years for this to happen.  I think that if our current global financial crisis continues to worsen, more and more people will turn to bitcoin.  As a forex trader I can attest that BTC/USD is already a viable trading option even though it is less liquid than the other currencies.  There are so many advantages of BTC over the USD that I don't see why it wouldn't continue to increase in value.

Also, even when BTC reaches its maximum volume, BTC subdivision will continue and miners will be rewarded via transaction fees in a highly competitive market.

I wish I knew but if I do happen to come across something, I'll be sure to share it on here!   

I agree with that one.  The old folks likely wont even understand it.  I'm not saying that all old people wouldn't get it, but it is highly amusing that my grandma refuses to use a computer.  What does that thing do?  (she looks at the mouse).

Hi all,

I just wanted to start off by introducing myself and saying hello.  I am relatively new to the Bitcoin scene and the whole concept of it is fascinating to me.  The idea that it is not a fiat currency that is controlled and abused by the central banks via the fractional reserve ratio, etc. is very refreshing. 

Like most people, I'm not a fan of the current 9-5 rat race and am always on the look out for a way to make six figures or more online.  I understand that there are tons of scams out there in the form of Ponzis, MLM, HYIPS (Ponzis again lol), Binary Options trading software, fake forex trading software, and other programs that intend to use and abuse poor people just looking to get ahead in life. In fact, it's because that there are so many scams out there that I'd like to learn how to make big money to replace a white collar job.  If I can accomplish that, I can in turn help others to make money online.  That is one of my dreams in life:  to enrich others, not to drain all of their financial resources.

If anyone has any suggestions as to how I can make 6 figures or more (U.S. dollars or Bitcoin) with little to no start up capital, I would highly appreciate it.  Otherwise, you are welcome to introduce yourself and just chat as I am always on the look out for friends too.  Good luck on your quest for your own personal Holy Grail
