i wish they would make the battery life last longer.. that's what people truly want. and a way of doing that is to get the CPUs to not run so hot.
It is expected that intense usage of a powerful phone will deplete the battery as fast as it heats up. It is inevitable that at some point better cooling technology will be required so that the phones remain usable for those who choose to use it intensively. In the meantime we can simply choose to use our device less, and dare I say maybe even switch it off from time-to-time. the current issue with smartphones is the battery life drain from using data.. it drops so fast, and you can tell by how hot the phone feels. |

OP says bitcoin is a currency and not an investment, and he's completely wrong. bitcoin is both a currency an investment. why do you think there are so many johns here who stalk the price? because they put in "x" amount and expect to cash out or spend their coins at a higher rate.

Not going to happen. As bitcoin gets more expensive, altcoins will provide the supply needed for the utility of bitcoin (doing business) which will reduce the demand and thus price of bitcoin.
Newcomers to crypto-currency aren't going to want to be part of a system where a select few have incredible wealth, hence why they will opt for altcoins instead of bitcoin.
They said Bitcoin would never get paid or into the $100s soon past that then people saying never get past $500 but happened and then went to 1k area but soon went poof all way down but expected to go up by end of the year. saying that bitcoin went to 1k despite what people said, and equating it to bitcoin being able to take over as a world currency.. is just kind of stretching it, don't you think? |

what a waste of space.. looks like OP is generating his own news.

you might need to clarify the question a bit more, because there are two different goals with bitcoin. one is to make the price go higher, and the other is to get as many people to adopt it.

Good question.... Draper (winner of the Silk Road auction) said he was going to bring BTC liquidity to Countries like Argentina (and he might have mentioned them by name) in the form of exchanges I believe. Get a mivin Mr. Draper... Glad to see BTC adoption starting to really move, but we have to get it where it is really needed. wouldn't argentina be vehemently against this? wouldn't they want to force people to hold on to paper notes? draper would need cooperation with the argentine government. |

it's more stable.. so if it's harder to crash, doesn't that imply that it's harder to hit the moon? i think the next bull run, if there is one, it won't multiply by 1500% like the last few runs.

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. |

i'm a little bit bearish now. even with the acceptance of newegg and dell, the price hasn't gone up. so we know retailer adoption is nice for bitcoin's future and stability, but in the short term it doesn't appear to do much.

if bitcoin were to overtake paper money, i'd say that there would be no government left and hell would break loose. sorry, ancaps.

dell is now accepting bitcoins, but taht's not what determines the price. it's about how many new people put money into bitcoin, or how much existing users invest in it. giant retailers accepting bitcoin does not lead to people buying more bitcoin, at least not enough to push it ahead. though i do think it should, since you can take advantage of 10% discounts. you'll probably end up saving something like 5% anyway though.
from what i can see, i think only 2 things can drive up bitcoin's price.. either a failing economy ridden with hyperinflation, or an ETF.. those are the ways you bring new money into the field.

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). |

maybe they can make a kiosk where you can buy vouchers to all the stores. i doubt that will happen though.

i agree they are out of control, and it's sometimes hard to figure out how bad the US is compared to russians.

2008 hot 18 year old chicks would ask me what's your FB
2011 hot 18 year old chicks would ask me what's your twitter
2014 hot 18 year old chicks ask me what's my Instagram
ALL THE GROWTH IN FB IS BROKE ASS 3rd WORLD NATIONS
No one with a brain uses it IMO
k u done fellating yourself? Bitcoin integrated on FB would be nice for all those games and for donating to pages and causes on there. Definitely some potential, although I don't think facebook will add bitcoin anytime soon.
i don't think they will incorporate it.. having bitcoin for games and donating is nice, but how does that help out facebook? that's probably all they are concerned with. |

So this week.....
AlienWare accepts bitcoin.
Baltic Air accepts bitcoin.
Dell accepts bitcoin.
Bitcoin drops around $30 for NO FUCKING REASON WHAT SO EVER.
Maybe everyone dumped their BTC and bought Ether for some stupid reason.
It just makes no damn sense what so ever.
Oh yah, there is a reason, all the idiot sheep lemming traders who trade BTC for no other
reason than its trendy.
I keep seeing articles about the biggest threat to bitcoin...
The biggest threat to bitcoin are this idiot sheep lemming traders who run down the price
on their own panics.
The general public is NEVER going to put large amounts of money into bitcoin
when they see articles about bitcoin dropping 10% overnight for no reason other
than the idiot sheep lemming traders panic or some moron hits the wrong button
and sells 2 million in bitcoin by mistake.
The idiots trading just to trade are going to run bitcoin into the ground and drive away
the general public who we need accepting it when they manage to drop the price 10%
overnight and cause panics.
you sound like a $ crazed bitcoin evangelist. you're angry because bitcoin price is not higher; nevermind the adoption rate or any other progress. meanwhile, you are calling them idiots for selling their bitcoins... because that brings the price down. |

Bitcoin will not change shit. I thought it would long ago until I awakened to the realization that it is still a currency, it operates off greed. The few will continue to own vast amounts more than others and it provides no incentive for people to do anything to help others - the essence of a spiritual revolution - it provides incentive for people to be even.greedier with the grand delusion that their coins will spawn some magnificent wealth that can change something.
As your wealth rises, the wealth of the elite bitcoiners rises and the same pyramid repeats.
If you want a spiritual revolution and not take the path off enslavement, WWIII and extinction, you'll open your mind to what I have to say and leave your prejudice behind.
The only way to peace is to be a family. To share, to nurture, to love. So long as we use money, we will not find peace, for money will always hold power to corrupt minds of individuals - until we become aware of it's nature and abstain completely.
wait, you are complaining about greed yet you're the guy known for.. scamming people? the pot is black, but so is the kettle. |

even if we get a bull-run towards $1,500, the gains would be the worst ever.. at least year-to-year. at least in terms of price.
but so far we've seen a lot of stability and merchant adoption rate.
Exactly. I'm totally happy if bitcoin valuation takes it slow and we see it more and more used a currency. Let it gain ground as a medium of exchange. I personally find the huge bull runs scary because I'm worried about the collapse that happens when the dumping starts. I honestly wish I could pay more of my bills in bitcoins and get more of my income in bitcoins. I'd like to see more movement of bitcoins between parties involved in economic exchange, not just currency trading and whatnot. if you hold throughout the bull-run, then what is there to worry about? everytime we have a meteoric bull run, it ends up higher than where it started (at least in the past few years). if you ended up selling during a bull run, there's a good chance you can buy back at a lower price. |

We are always in the down trend of $1200 to $0 which started from last year, $6xx is already the top bubble we can reach after all these Dead Cat Bounces
The "downtrend to $0" is impossible, if the price will fall to $100 there will be so many buyers that the value will be raised to the current levels. not true, because if there were a crash, you wouldn't know the details about it. it could be something that crumbles the whole bitcoin network. |
