7. They will end the government's control of the money supply.

1.  They allow anyone to have a "bank" account that CAN NOT be seized by the IRS.
2. If you are careful,  the IRS can't even know how much money you have in your account,  or that you even have an account at all!
3. They allow you to do business with whoever you want,  anywhere in the world, with complete privacy.
4. No one can block or seize your payments,  in fact,  you can even make your payments secret from everyone else in the world.
5. If you set it up properly,  no one can even track how much money you have earned, so potentially, you could report as much, or as little of it as you choose.
6. Bitcoins can not be counterfeited or inflated.
7. We hope,They will end the government's control of the money supply.

In the United States, is Bitcoin constitutionally protected from the federal government by The First Amendment? Couldn't the transfer of information through the blockchain be considered speech?

Does the federal government even have the constitutional authority to regulate something such as Bitcoin?

Hmmm, as it stands, I believe I win. I predicted the exact high and low, 25 minutes before the end. Because it's 25 minutes, my error is divided by a small number, which would normally make it rather large (lower score = better), but zero divided by a small number is zero.
If this is run again, I suggest people are only allowed to vote up to 2 hours in  

As for who made the best graph, I'll leave that up to ineededausername.

What disadvantage would that be? Seems to me it is a pretty big advantage since you could tell what the previous highs and lows were.

You are correct, sir.

I don't have to dump anything.  I can crash the entire market by pure force of will.  People are understandably skeptical, so my offer includes a 100% money-back guarantee if I fail.

25BTC with a warranty from me, or 200BTC and no assurances at all from some guy named bitcon.  Choose wisely, people.

Do you know what would be a good way to crash the price of Bitcoins on MTGox? Get a whole bunch of coins from a bunch of idiots and then sell them all on MTGox. It's pretty damn obvious.

Not seeing this at all so Im assuiming its your submission for the chart.

as a wise man once said... "suckers.. we need more suckers."

So if the trend persists how long before BTC goes sub-zero?

[sinking with the ship bought at 19$]

I think there are some sites that will already place an order for you on Amazon if you send them the BTC for your order.

This idea has a different emphasis - It's difficult for new users to acquire bitcoin.  This idea is about making it easy for people to sell their old items, thus gaining some BTC.

Thanks for the info - should have read further back.

So they can only do this if they are somewhat certain that Bitcoin was in fact covered by existing legislation. I could imagine there's a good chance of successfully disputing this interpretation of the laws, considering the unique nature of Bitcoin.

Guess we'll have to wait and see... any day now...
