I was following the developments of Dark Wallet since the early days, at the beginning they were really active but it seems something went wrong in the team. If they aren't doing any progress I would like that they join team Samurai Wallet and work from there, as far as I know its a similar goal.

Why is this guy so obsessed with the idea of Craig Wright being satoshi? what do you gain out of it? it seems like you like the idea of Craig being satoshi when it has been proved a lot of the stuff doesn't add up.

I like to pay with Bitcoin when I get some Bitcoin paid like on sig campaign and when I win some at the casino, im not going to buy bitcoin just to buy something i can buy with conventional money unless i have an incentive to do so.

I am a regular visitor to India (especially to Delhi, and Kerala). Although there are not many shops which accept BTC in these regions, you can easily convert your BTC to fiat cash (INR), at low premiums. In Delhi itself, there are dozens, if not hundreds of traders who trade Bitcoins for fiat cash. Use Localbitcoins to get in touch with these guys.
Yup Even I have some colleagues who is from India, So many people not aware of bitcoins. But who are all working in bitcoin they are very clever and they are doing trading also through localbitcoins.com and btcindia. Except Amazon India and Ebay India none of the Online shops are accepting as I got info from my friend. There are many competent software programmers in India. Hotmail was originated from India. One day India will be the forefront of bitcoin related business. The question is not whether any Bitcoin related business will come up from India, but how Bitcoin adoption will be in India. You may have competent programmers, but that alone cannot take Bitcoin to the masses. There are a lot of smart people in indian doing IT and developing cool apps. Not all india is poor so there are chances that someone with enough resources will come up with a killer Bitcoin app and become rich.

by how the things are going, the first look much more probable than the latter, based on this one should invest now and not waiting when btc will skyrocket the same was true when btc was under <$100 but many have committed the same error, thinking that it was only a bubble and and it would not go much further.... As every day passes probabilities that Bitcoin is going to die are less and less. And yes, still isn't to late to get into the game and invest into this thing. The train still hasn't left the station in my opinion! The train has left each station it has been at, picking up more and more people along the way. You just have to arrive to the station to be picked up. However when speaking about the price of bitcoin, in my opinion it doesn't really matter. There's more to it than its price. Yes, I can't agree more with you! Price in my opinion, is just a drawback all this time. People are concentrating to damn much on the price, that's for sure! Price is a huge psychological factor. It shouldn't matter in an ideal world, but we don't live in an ideal world, so price matters and it matters a lot. You the price to be as high as possible, it's simple.

How can topic about Bitcoin be way to narrow? I don't get it. You can write about the blockchain technology in essence. You can write about its decentralized nature and why is it important for the world -snip-.
I gave you just some pointers, there is really so many things to write about out there. Just use your imagination and research.
I want a specific question as to which I will do my research on, most of your point here is related to Economics while I'm doing a Comp. Sc. related essay. Ok, I see, my bad! Here is a possible good one. Possible influence of quantum computers on Bitcoin in the future. Is Bitcoin secure if quantum computers do show up? Hmm, that and the earlier idea combined might just be it. Thanks for the contribution If something like quantum computers do in fact get invented, not only bitcoin but pretty much everything that is online now would not be secure. As far as I know normal currencies use some kind of SHA encryption too. Yes you are right. Banks are using similar encryptions for their cross banking services and online banking of their customers. Yet, it would be interesting to speculate on certain problems and solutions that quantum computers would bring into all of the financial sector, together with Bitcoin! Even the quantum computer problem is already solved. The fact that most people use a new bitcoin address each time would make a bitcoin quantum attack pretty much useless. In the future new addresses will be generated and used automatically.

Just more mindless speculation. I can't believe that after the big, BIG fail these guys made last time with the poor old japanese man, they are still trying to play inspector gadget. That was Newsweek, but Wired did have a massive Bitcoin-based fail in, I believe, late 2012; they branded Bitcoin "expired". The rest, as they say... Ah true, that was newseek, but anyway, almost all mainstraem media has pulled up wrong information, if it's not the "let's guess who satoshi is", then it's "CEO of Bitcoin suicided" or "CEO of Bitcoin in jail" or whatever. These guys are a joke.

Anyone else catch the Blockchain discussion at TechCrunch Disrupt London today?
Apart from hearing a few bits from Vitalik Buterin (co-founder of Bitcoin Magazine), it was really a bit of a pointless talk.
I'd say only about 3% of the audience even knew what the Blockchain was and the panel made no attempt at explaining it to them.
if that is true, these people joined the wrong conference early days, early days... Im still wondering why people would go there if they don't have some basic understanding of the thing? Anyway, if Vitalik Buterin was there he was probably doing marketing for Ethereum, which is not that interesting for me.

I have nothing right now I lost it all in gambling last week. I do yolo everytime when i gamble just for fun.
Lol dude I am a big gambler myself but I always limit myself in my gambling time, If I lose more than I can make in a week then I stop gambling for the rest of the month. You don't want to lose all of your holdings or in 10 years you may regret a lot.

this is a fuckin shitpost, blacky
Well, technically it isn't, since this is the speculation section and we are free to speculate. As for your prediction blacky, 10k seems like a guaranteed goal during 2016, or maybe mid to late 2017. At some point the FOMO will kick in harder than Ronaldo's penalties and we will see everyone getting in at the same time.

to achive that goal I need around 20 bitcoins now Glad you made it into the 21 million club then. 1 million club is way harder, im also part of 21 million club, and have a long way to go until I can enter the 1 million one. I hope its not too late, because the price will start rising song im afraid.

Having the first Bitcoin Give us powerful feelings, OP i advice that you hol your coin till the next halving at least
Yes, when you see the first BTC in your wallet is something magical. Trespassing the 1.00 barrier is nice. I can't wait to reach 10, and then 21. Thats the final goal of most of us here, being realistic, anything more is too hard unless you are wealthy already.

I wish I could buy shoes, like Converse, Nikes, Vans.. a shop like Footlocker, but for BTC. I can't find any that will ship me this kind of material, most of the stuff i find is computer related.

This is why I never either buy a phone that isn't from a trusted brand and from a trusted source (a shop and not some ebay seller unless its super verified) and I don't even store any Bitcoins in my phone beyond coffee type of money.

The fact that they will not run out with the money giving some excuse such as "hacking" which basically means inside job. Unfortunately it seems the only way to achieve this is by regulating it like Gemini. I cant wait for fully functional p2p exchanges.

Anyone holding 1 in a million amount of coins in 10 years will be rich (that means 21 BTC, technically less since some coins are over forever shrinking the supply even more). Don't say you didn't read this back then.

It's good to consider that investing a large amount of Bitcoin will involve risks. It can either go up or go down in price, if you're worried about safety then you might be concern about the actual value of your 1BTC now when compared to the future. It's always smart to invest only so much amount that you're willing to lose. But yes, someday I'm sure your Bitcoins will grow in value.
I totally agree with you. The halving is coming in 30 somethign weeks LOL it's good to buy some before the halving as the price will go up soon I will share one of the traders speculation about the upcoming dip: Expect more dump this coming Christmas season as people, like always, spreading out money during this season of greetings. The effect will be lower price. So it's better to wait for about a month before doing a big buy. Like I said, it's a speculation. That's quite common for holiday seasons. But long-term that doesn't really matter. I think you should buy it after christmas a little bit just like the speculation if you want to make some more when the halving occurs During Christmas always prices falling, and not only BTC but on all markets. And this is a good time for shopping However, the price of Bitcoin around $ 300 in my opinion is good for long term investment. Let's see how Bitcoin holds during actual xmas, we are still in november, im waiting to see how the fundamentals are looking in the mid of december to take a choice. I will for granted buy more BTC if we experience a dip.

And now compare this to the number of cat videos and their views.
I bet the top viewed cat movie has more views than all bitcoin movies combined :p
There are about 41,600,000 results for "cat" from a youtube search. That indicates cat videos are about 64 times more popular than bitcoin videos if you base it on the number of videos available. However I haven't researched how many overall views cat videos get compared to bitcoin video views. Cats probably win again on the video views ratio. Obviously, cat is a very generic word, it's impossible to compete against cats. The content of volume of pics and videos of cats on the internet must be staggering at this point, so getting less traffic than "cats" is not something to be depressed about.

Looks really cute indeed. Get some good looking instagram model to wear it and you'll get thousands of views quick. I think it would fit really good on a cute girl, this is definitely not for guys tbh lol. Also she should accept BTC only when she sells it.
