I don't think he is going to use them. The system is not anonymous enough and he has too many to use a mixer effectively.
Maybe if Tor wasn't under suspicion of being compromised he could use his coins to run an anonymous mixer (coins come in, get mixed around with his) providing him with some anonymity but that also would draw legal attention for laundering.
I think it will be his next of kin that ultimately benefit.
it's not like he has to mix them all. he can just cash out a million or two. but i don't know if it's going to happen either way. safest way to go about is maybe donate the coins to a charitable organization.. he can't be caught doing that. |

i don't really know. i just hope satoshi isn't a greedy guy and doesn't care about the money.. and decided to see what his donating money for certain causes would or could change the world.

Damn he's good. I was thinking Audrey Hepburn and he guessed it, but it took him about 20 questions.
but what if you don't know all of the details and end up giving a few wrong answers? |

you know what would be a good idea? creating a bitcoin sticker with a QR code that opens up your webpage to explain what it is to curious people.

why it's that hard to conceive? fyi, south korea is the same. anyway, it's because there's so much heat around israel, north africa, and the rest of the middle east. you have hamas, iran and other groups that want to take out israel, so they have to defend themselves somehow.

i agree they are out of control, and it's sometimes hard to figure out how bad the US is compared to russians.
At the least Russians are honest, they want to take over someone they do it. They don't play proxy influence wars. Or murder people on other side of the world... i call bullshit. i wouldn't say russians are more honest than the americans, it's just that they don't have the infrastructure to circumvent shit with a pseudo-democracy. you do know that russians were highly involved in southeast asia, china, afghanistan, and probably many other countries, right? they were part of the proxy wars too. I would argue that most modern wars are some form of proxy wars. With the advent of nuclear weapons two countries with nuclear bombs do not want to fight eachother as they would both likely lose (nuclear war). yes, that's why i said in the "are we going to see WW3 soon?" that it is not likely. no one wants to fight with another developed nation, or one that has nuclear weapons. they'll just do what has been happening - gain resources, make your enemy rely on it, and if they mess with you, sanction their ass. and then fund proxy wars. one could even make the argument that nuclear weapons has improved world peace for this very reason yeah, until entire continents get blown up. peace and prosperity for 100 years, and then world annihlation.. is not worth it to me. |

bitcoin is fading for the guys who are here to get rich quick.. as a cryptocurrency, it's still growing.. just not in the way that people expect (in price).

oh lord, when dank teams up with you.. you know you are fucked. btw, just looked at all his neg ratings.. they are quite comical, especially the one where he was asking for a $10 million loan, and it appeared to be serious. i wouldn't be surprised if he went out asking to borrow $20 billion next week so that he can build his own country/kingdom  |

Why do people focus on the mosquito and not the swamp?
Obama is one person, with significantly less power than people give him credit for...
The entire political system in the US is broken.
The immigration issue is something that needs to be addressed, but its a major issue and neither party has the courage to deal with it.
Politicians are too busy trying to raise money for 1st terms or re-elections. They waste a majority of their time on that instead of actually fixing issues.
At the end of the day, Washington will NOT change, unless we make them.
Unfortunately, most Americans are too pacified with TV and iPhones to really do anything.
US politics is run by bussinessman. You can simply buy your way to power  What would you want Americans to do?If people think there are no jobs now, i wonder what they will be saying in 10yrs. Your bolded question, is the million dollar question. Im not honestly sure what would motivate the US population to actually start taking the power back... I mean, gas is $4 a gallon. The economy is in the toilet. College tuition is rising at the same time degrees are becoming worthless. We live in a system that promotes 99% debt 1% savings. National debt is 17.6 trillion while the US continues fighting/funding multiple wars. National borders are being flooded at a record rate. and the list goes on and on... As an educated, tax paying American in my 30's, im ashamed. My generation has let younger generations down. I wish i had multiple answers to your bolded question my friend, but i dont. I think Elvis said it best- "A little less conversation, a little more action" it's not a generation's fault really. it's what government and corporations are doing, playing welfare with the wealthy. if anything, this generation is getting royally screwed over by the outrageous spending and corruption.. it's not the cause of it. and illegal immigration has actually fallen. it's just the media that is pumping up this "eminent threat of illegals." |

Guess what? IF the bitcoin will ever reach $3 million +, your $3 million will be worth nothing.
Wrong ! Inflation is irrelevant. Let assume that you have found the biggest diamond on the world. The ultimate diamond, the most expensive. That means the diamonds market will crash ? i'd think that under inflation, bitcoin would still be the inflation % of the USD.. mainly because people holding cash would want to put it somewhere in an asset that won't lose value.. so currency inflation is good for bitcoin, just like it is for gold and other commodities. |

google trends is not necessarily the best indicator on this kind of info.. it's not necessarily about how much people google up bitcoin, but more about how much money they put into it. if the ETF came out, for example, billions of dollars would be coming in but that doesn't necessarily mean that a whole lot more eyes will hear about bitcoin.

that's just capitalism for you. everybody wants to protect their assets. if saving $10 means it'll cost other people $1,000 more, then why not?

well in that case, bush should have been impeached as well.. but i guess there weren't enough lefty extremists at the time.
maybe it is for fundraising, but at least it was said.. trying to impeach obama might make republicans look bad to independent voters, but i guess that's not their main focus right now.

Amazon isn't a thousand times bigger. And you cant link the price lowering to Dell. It's not as simple as that.
I don't think Dell announcing acceptance of BTC has affected the price positively or negatively yet at this point. I think we will reap the benefits if other major companies follow suit. I do believe that Amazon would actually help the price go up... i don't know how though.. the question is, who will put more money into bitcoin with the news? doesn't seem like the whales or potential new players were affected by newegg or dell. It wouldn't necessarily mean that each person is putting more money into BTC, there would just be more people in general putting money into BTC. well yeah, that's why i said whales or potential new players. and i still don't many people will say "well, i need to get some bitcoins so i can buy something from dell." |

The US economy would collapse almost overnight without illigal workers doing jobs nobody else would take. In fact VICE just released a short documentary on this exact topic a few days ago.
I have a hard time understanding how you could be so ignorant of fundamental things happening right in your own back yard.
shh, they are all republicans here. probably just looking for things to be angry about.. fucking obama! |

I've been saying this since I signed up. The more merchants which accept BTC the more the price will go way down. The merchants fire sell at the lowest prices to pay their employees, cover their overhead expenses and/or pay taxes.
Meanwhile while Bitcoin gets stuck in that limbo some coin with limited or no merchant adoption (like LTC or some other alternate) will eclipse Bitcoin.
that's nonsense. there is no real reason for the need of another cryptocoin.. so who would invest all that money into it? |

Even if we spent less on welfare we'd just spend more on warfare.
yeah, this is how i feel too. warfare is basically welfare for the wealthy who have businesses related to international security, construction, and oil producers. and like others have said, warfare and secret CIA operations lead to fucked up countries where people don't feel safe (look at honduras). warfare protects everyone in the country from external threats, and tends to benefit the lower class the most as most people in the lower ranks of the military are from less wealthy families and they will receive additional pay during times of war (hazard pay, ect). it is hilarious that people actually think this. the people who say this kind of shit are the ones who watch cable news networks, and are fed what to believe based on talking points. warfare could actually make us less safe. you probably think terrorists hate us just because they are crazy, but it's not that simple. |
