In my honest opinion, he should accept and use that opportunity to invite them to join the open community of Bitcoin. Unconditional help is always needed.

I actually tried to install FreeBSD 10 with encrypted zfs the other day. Unfortunately I could never boot into the new system as it refuses to accept the disk password I type in during boot.
Maybe I should give it another try.

All the Scandinavian countries are slaves to their respective masters. Nobody should expect to find a safe haven there.
In a bigger perspective, the Scandinavian countries would have been better off merging into one state, but that train is long gone.
Paper shuffeling bureaucrats have made sure of that.
That said, the Scandinavian countries is using the same broken economy as all the other capitalists, and hence will take the same hit.
Agreed, on the positive note, crime is not that present as it is many other places in the world. That's true. The only question is, is it because it is so freaking cold? |

The first thing that comes to mind is that CIA created bitcoin and are the ones that harvested the "Shatoshi" coins.

Norway always rejects anything new - nothing new under the sun there. Also most people there are very upstuck and brainwashed by the establishment.
The Norwegian state has already shown their cards by declaring that bitcoin is an electronic service, and thus you have to pay VAT when you do a bitcoin transaction. And not VAT on the exchange fee, no actually they say you have to pay VAT on the entire transaction, so if you buy a bitcoin, you have to pay what it costs in local currency + 25%. According to the taxman.
In addition to VAT on the purchase of BTC, you have to pay VAT on the item itself when you buy something for BTC in a store, and if you make any money investing or trading, you're hit with a 28% fee, in addition if you hold a lot of bitcoins, 1% belong to the state as an asset tax.
In reality people ignore this of course.
Better yet, the financial department has recently issued a statement essentially telling everybody that cares to listen that bitcoin is some scary shit and should best be avoided.
It's emphasized that not having a central issuer is a big problem, because then if you lose your private key, there's no central to reissue a key for you.
Having a personal wallet also means you stand a big chance of getting hacked, and at one time there was someone losing bitcoins worth a million, with little chance of getting it back. Just to emphasize how unsecure this new technology is.
And that's just a glimpse of this hillarious piece of information they've managed to make into a press release.

I think bitcoin implies a different company model where the crowd-founders is the ones that owns the company.

Ah... we finally arrive at the point... bitcoin was invented by Edison, an American of course. What would the world be without a proper happy ending  |

"This freedom thing is awesome, except for the people who disagree with me. They shouldn't have any freedom at all."
Are you making fun of Jesus? You know, if you want freedom to be available for everyone, you can't allow a few the ability to enslave. Actually, I think he has a good point about anonymity. In these dire times anonymity is the only way to stall plutocracy |

If you can afford it, buy a little now. If it goes down you haven't wasted all that much
I'm really not Rich, but Yeah, I considered buying a small amount anyway. I expect it to increase though, but I tend to have bad Luck:p You are from Norway right?, how much do you spend on a night in town? Did you have any luck with that?  Just kidding. Its your call of course, I just thought it could be a good idea to get in if only for a small amount, considering the potential |

Strictly speaking, open source is not mutually exclusive with a private company with a $10 billion market cap and dozens of the worlds top developers.
The Linux project for instance has thousands of developers, and many of those are excellent engineers. Same with Google, Red Hat, Intel, IBM and Facebook.
That said, I'm also a bit surprised that the reference implementations doesn't have more developers by now.

For bitcoin to stay valuable I think it will need a market to back it up. Not just expectations.
And I think it will be hard to get a market going with the current price development.
People are so used to fiat, they think money is something that grows on trees.
What we need is a symbiosis between bitcoin and a market of services and goods.
