Most people don't buy and hold?

I thought there were far more bitcoins being hoarded than circulated.

I considered it but I find this buffoon's ridiculous trolling humorous.

In a forum where many people can be serious, he provides comic relief.

Me too. Probably will for a few more years.

At this point it's lots of fun just panic observing.

I missed the excitement a couple of hours ago because I was watching the baseball game, but it makes me think about the similarities between this forum and many baseball forums. The self-styled "knowledgeable baseball people" all look down their noses at "casual bandwagon fans" and go out of their way to show everybody that they're not "homers". The self-styled "real fans" are appalled that anyone could have the audacity to diss their beloved home team on their own board, even when they've just played a horrible game.

Human nature I suppose.

Obviously anyone wanting the price of bitcoins to fall is a speculator and not a Bitcoin person.

In fact from what I've seen, both sides tend to look down at each other. Bitcoiners look down on speculators as moron gamblers, while speculators look down on Bitcoiners as cultists.

This being the speculation folder in a Bitcoin forum, there's an inherent conflict of interest present.

Don't worry. Once the speculators have re-bought, they'll be more pro-Bitcoin than the most rabid Libertarian or crypto-geek.

In the meanwhile, every day more businesses start accepting bitcoins and Bitcoin-related startups get closer to opening for business. When was the last time any merchant announced that they were discontinuing accepting bitcoins?

LOL

Euros, Yuan, gold, rubles?

I think the OP was referring to an increase in Bitcoin's value, not the dollar's collapse, although both are probably inevitable to some degree.

Kinda like 10,000BTC pizzas?

20 cents =  approximately 200,000 satoshis at the moment. I thought micropayments were one of Bitcoin's strengths.

Coffee worth 20 cents? Where do you live? Here in Toronto it's hard to find a coffee for under a buck. 

That clarifies it a little. I've always felt that collectivists were the problem, whether they were corporations, unions, motorcycle gangs, or governments.

Here in Canada there is a strong tradition of individual rights. Most people considered Pierre Trudeau to be a socialist, but when he created the Canadian Constitution and Charter of Rights, he stated that collective rights should never have precedence over individual rights. I guess that made him a bit of a Libertarian.

I thought the whole idea of Libertarianism was less taxation (and hence government). Aren't they the opposite of socialists, closer idealogically to Republicans than Democrats in the American political scale?

Yes, several dozen terabytes, about half as backup.

I do not have internal HDDs in any of my systems, just SSDs. and my main desktop PCs/workstations boot from PCIe SSDs for better performance.

USB3.0 really made larger external HDDs practical. Not a lot of machines have multiple eSATA ports and USB2  is just too slow. It used to take days to copy a multi-terabyte HDD through USB2. With USB3 it takes hours.

I live downtown, so I don't drive.

I'll wear the t-shirt on stage though. That's gotta count for something.

I also like to use the word "satoshi" in reference to a small amount of money. People ask "what's a satoshi?" and then get educated, but that's just one at a time plus eavesdroppers.

Slightly up ($120-$160) as more of the start-ups following May's conference become operational.

Demand should come from both the businesses themselves and from their customers.

Anywhere outside the USA would probably be a good start.

here we go again
