Isn't it time for satoshi to come back and bring some consensus?
That's the problem, he would have too much power. I think that would only cause more problems. He's long gone, we will have to sort it out ourselves. Sometimes communities need a genius leader to re-order it and put some common sense on it. Im pretty sure Satoshi's words would be common sense.

No one knows for sure if Btc is going to fade into nothingness or if this is yet another cycle. Same with all other alts. This assumption that the pattern repeats itself works with lots of things like oil, gold, fiat, corn, pork bellies etc but with vaporware it could all come to an abrupt halt, with the 99%+ of the pop saying "I knew it, just a ponzie scheme." Now, if the op wasn't a dbag know it all, I would have advised him to check out Sapience a couple days ago. Even though I think the name is stupid and I don't like the looks of the fat dude on the ann page, a pump was looking pretty obvious. Instead I'll watch him fumble around with shit like foldingcoin.
99% of altcoins are potential toxic assets, a pump happening is just luck unless you have insider information.

If we can make it at least until april above 100 it would mean there is a solid barrier and we can be almost sure we will not see 100.

Isn't this the whole point of colored coins?

1. Decentralized
Although its true, there is still people that thinks that its bad since no one can "protect" the market value of bitcoin. It atracts the attention of diferent people when compared to centralized solutions. Decentralization is the future, might as well deal with it. The next step is decentralizing the internet itself.

From all the people i've talked to proposing getting paid in BTC instead of fiat monthly they dont like the idea because when they think bitcoin they think "80% devaulation" so they are scared of it. Unfortunately they arent very bright long term thinkers.

I'm happy if we make it past April.
Really? What do you mean past April? Are you saying that by April, there's a possibility that Bitcoin would drop rock bottom? Not totally crash but go below 100? easily.. so i hope Andreas is right.

I've used btc a lot to buy steam games in the past. Not have had too much to do with them here in europe yet. Wish more stores would start accepting them here.
I've spent a lot recently in steam keys myself, its a nice way of getting cheaper games from 3rd party websites.

Greece says if they leave then expect Italy will soon follow due to their own debt situation.
I'm not clear on the EU economic bonds versus their political bonds. Say Greece pulls out then Italy, will border crossing posts requiring passports go up along the Italian border?
More of Bitcoin owner concern, will Greek and Italian banks halt withdrawals? Will Bitcoin benefit or has its devaluation since December 2013 precluded it as a 'safer' haven than Greek or Italian banks?
Italian minister has already said that greece is pulling shit out of their ass when they say Italy will leave if Greece leaves. Greece is alone in this... unless they dont change their opinion before 28th its game over for them.

at least 100, with a value of 10k each
Agree. I would go for 100 BTC if you want to live comfortably. I would take about 1 to 3 years to get that amount. Anyone can do it. Not anyone. There's no fucking way 99% of joes out there can risk 21850 USD in hopes bitcoin reaches 10K...

Will they need their own blockchain? Where do you send the fiat to? Who keeps the coins?
I aint got no idea how decentralized exchanges work, so im also interested. I add to the question: How do you know you aren't buying from the feds? (honeypot). It kinda defeats the purpose.

its not a scam i have paidd out severall times
Perhaps you don't understand what is a ponzi scheme. A ponzi scheme is a operation that pays you with the next person's deposit. They will pay you till people stop depositing and they can run away with your money or just don't pay you. Either way, you lose money. This. First they build trust, then they pull the trigger. Thats what Karpeles and every other exchange did.

why a bounty...there's a trial going on
Not for his TRUE crimes, and justice will not be served...the force is strong with Darth Karp. But perhaps stronger with me........Darth Dickus how do you know the judges are not doing their work? i have faith in Japanese Jurisdiction. The judges dont give a shit about bitcoin crimes... mainly because they dont even know what the hell bitcoin is. They are so out of the loop with technology. Plus bitcoin wasnt even regulated at any level back then. This. Without regulation there is a setback... the forces of order aren't forced to go after bitcoin thefts AFAIK.

You can mine a shit(alt)coin, hold and hope there is a pump and sell for BTC. Luck required tho.

Works just OK for me, using FF.

There was a guy yesterday over here saying he would give 10 btc for free if you sent him an email.. ofc i didnt sent him an email. Probably trying to collect emails from btc users to do phishing.

I think banks may be doing this to prevent money laundering rather than just to cause war against bitcoin. Though I can certainly see why the banks would oppose bitcoin as it could threaten their bottom line.
if they have the idea that BTC = money laundering, then they want war against BTC. and the banks banning btc = people going to other banks. if BTC goes to moon they won't want lose so many costumers. The problem is if they ban every single bank accepting BTC and make withdrawing BTC to USD/or any fiat a crime. The solution should be that we do not need to convert BTC into fiat because BTC by itself should be a currency.
