Still with 7 transactions per second being the hard cap limit, I will always have a big bear in me telling me this will never grow out to compete with credit card companies. And also this issue can't be fixed.

You're wrong on more than one point. But I understand you're probably just trying to talk the price down, so cheers!

This!

Well, the Subways news are HUGE! This is the BIGGEST fast food company in the world (based on the number of restaurants world wide)!

Baidu news was nothing compared to this!

What news?

Subway retweeted a news story that 1 store accepts bitcoin. Not all stores.

Still good progress and a catalyst for more stores.

My view on the current market: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__VQX2Xn7tI

The Chinese are such insatiable beasts I LOVE THOSE GUYS!
They did $82e6 in a single day at the peak, now they are doing almost $52e6.


The chinese are scared shitless. they want more regulation:

Every country that tries to break from the petro dollar immediately becomes the enemy of the US....then they get a healthy dose of "democracy freedom".

Nice comments from Hughes, neat that her dad was a cryptographer in WWII. She emphasized the importance of digital currencies as groundbreaking.

Yeah, she's old yet she seems to 'grok' Bitcoin. I'm hopeful for the future. People seem very open-minded.

There is too much risk associated in trading right now that Bitcoin price is so high, one bad trade and you can lost thousands of dollars, that hurts a lot.

This is not the same as when Bitcoin was worth 10 dollars, so people trend to trade less and less, at least common people.

I personally don't give a shit about volatility, dips or corrections, and unless the uptrend is clearly broken i will not sell one single satoshi.

I think most people feels the same.


Price is high? What do you say at 1,000? 10,000?

People always can buy 0.1 bitcoin. Price is still below $50.

Quote from that reddit thread:

Bitcoins should not be assessed according to where they have been. That would ruin their fungibility and require coin blacklists that would create a central authority.

This post on Reddit explains how in 1749, a court sided with the Royal Bank of Scotland in its legal challenge to a request for such a blacklist. The court ruled that making money responsible for the acts of its previous holders would "render the Notes absolutely useless":

For people who only read this thread, this story has the potential to have long term consequences: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1qk8yl/bitcoinism_is_it_time_to_boycott_all_us_bitcoin/

For fucks sake  Undecided
How in the world is this even remotely being considered? This is a terrible idea.
