If we think about a very long term for Bitcoin. Over time, if we accumulate all the bitcoin lost by people who lost their wallet. There will be no more bitcoin in circulation. I think it would be a good idea to force people to spend their bitcoin in, let's say 25-30 years. If not spent, the bitcoins will be spread in the community. This would also prevent super maniac savers who would die with their super saving of bitcoin.
this is something alot of people have thought about, and it might just happen but i dont think we would force anyone to spend the coins, but simply move them to a new address. all coins left behind on old addresses would be made available for mining again. but this is something we can worry about in 20 years... still no... coins are divisible, no need to ever worry about lost coins, better yet they will mean your current coins are a bigger slice of the pie well mining lost coins 20 years from now could be beneficial, it would add more intensive for miners to keep the hash rate high I have a feeling this will become a hot issue and something for the community to vote on in 20-30 years |

It's a bit disheartening to see the lack of people who have recently heard about Bitcoin. The vast majority heard about it more than 1 year ago. Does that mean that Bitcoin growth is slowing?
I'd say it means most people that frequent these forms are mostly died hard fans that have been here for 1 year + would be really cool is if someone would do a cold call survey438 - 257 - 1495 ring.. ring... hello?
would you like to take a quick 5 min survey, and make some cash?
sure ok
have you heard about bitcoin
no
awww, sry you cant take this survey, thank you!
repeat! Endlessly |

I'll be using my free time to work on http://www.thebitcoinreview.com/you can expect to see a lot of new features, sites & products added to thebitcoinreview.com in the coming weeks If you want to give me a hand and earn a few coins. I'll be re-opening this thread soon : thebitcoinreview.com -Pays you bitcoins for completing tasks!it is my hope that this public announcement will provide the necessary motivation to really quit speculating, and do help thebitcoinreview.com be all it can be
Cheers, Adam thebitcoinreview.com |

lets say the people Really do start DUMPING the EUR for BTC ( call it a "bank run gone bitcoin" )
so the EUR will be dropping while the BTC rising, causing more bank runs gone bitcoin, in few weeks the EUR is worthless (or months cuz the government will only allow them to take out 300EUR a day?)
would the collapse of the EUR effect other currencies?

Would like to report that I used spendbitcoins recently for an amazon gift card purchase and it went smoothly. Total time from queueing up the order on the website to receiving the gift card was ~ 8.5 hours. I intend to use the service again. Thanks!

I also share this sentiment. These volatile price fluctuations do little to instill confidence in those that wish to use Bitcoins as a potential long term option for wealth preservation.
I don't think so, i think the bitcoin community need to expand, and last summer's price-rising helped alot. We need another one to reach the edge of "network effect". If we the community are big enough, the price will be more stable.I agree with the need for more people using bitcoin for their day to day purchasing needs. The price is never going to be stable, it doesn't matter how many merchants there are. Look at the volatile price fluctuations of gold. Not even the dollar (or goods priced in dollars) and euro are stable. well if more then 80% of coins are used to buy good / services the overall size of the bitcoin continuity doesn't grow or shrink significantly and speculators think this status quo will hold for a very long time ( and they trade adoringly ) maybe then we'll see very stable prices I think we are heading toward this, but we are not their yet.... give it 10 years Wrong, if more than 80% of coins are used, the economy would grow significantly. The more people are willing to trade something (doesn't have to be fiat, could be a Fiat car) for BTC, the higher the value of each BTC and the more the economy grows. It may get to the point where we can't assign a dollar figure to the market cap, but we would all agree that one BTC buys a Fiat... The pitfalls of thinking of an economy only in terms of currency :-) all i'm saying is these three things need to happen b4 BTC can be considered truly stable look at gold its very similar to bitcoin But people aren't about to start buying 1Gram of weed with 100th of an ounce of gold.... this would be crazy. gold is purely speculative and not useful, this is why gold prices are very unstable. ( about to crash to 500 any year now  ) But Bitcoin! Its good for for speculation like gold cuz theirs a limited amount. And it actually makes things easier... Send me some bitcoins, and ill send you one of my special cookies! 1p57SNzsMkXQXkSgoRegrm4k4mr19TrrL Bang its that easy. bottom line is if bitcoin was used MORE as a medium of exchange and not speculation, its value would be very stable. |
