Simple answer: NO, or not yet The year 2015 has been very rough for bitcoins. From a price of $314 per coin on New Year’s Day it slumped 43 per cent to a low of $177. Mt. Gox, the world's largest bitcoin exchange, suddenly announced that hundreds of millions of dollars worth of bitcoins were stolen last month. This isn't the only one. But I believe in the future bitcoin and other cryptocurrency will still have a prominence and potential to "rebound" back into the economy.
I believe gox trading soon back online and price going up again

The Seven Stages of Civilization (C A R R O L L Q U I G L E Y)
4. Age of ConflictAs noted earlier, eventually all instruments become institutions. Once this process has occurred to a substantial degree to a civilization's instrument of expansion, the civilization enters an age of conflict. This period is marked by four trends: a decline in the rate of expansion an increase in class conflicts, especially in the core an increase in imperialistic wars an increase in irrationality and general pessimism As the instrument of expansion becomes an institution in order to preserve the privileges of the elite, the civilization--particularly in the core--becomes more static, bureaucratized and legalistic. This tends to punish innovation instead of rewarding it, and progress in the accumulation of surplus is slowed as a result of the decline in inventiveness. This does not go unnoticed by a civilization's members. Although it is a decline in the rate of expansion, not an actual decline in expansion (that is, a contraction), an advanced civilization is so accustomed to expansion that it cannot not expand. To put it another way, survival requires accelerating growth, and once such growth has begun, it must continue. (This is one of the primary criticisms against "progress" from both the environmentalist Left and the culturalist Right. Both have a point, but both also fail to realize that the only real-world alternative is no civilization at all.) The declining rate of expansion pits the entrenched elite against the great mass of the people. When resources are perceived as being limited, competition between classes ensues. "The rich" hang on to their wealth and prerogatives, but, realizing that they are in the minority, divert the attention of the increasingly resentful masses with entertainment, and appease them with token gestures of wealth redistribution. Meanwhile, resentment at not enjoying the same increase in the standard of living as their parents leads the masses to feel insecure, and this feeling manifests as social disruption and other irrational behavior. As Quigley describes it: "This is generally a period of gambling, use of narcotics or intoxicants, obsession with sex (frequently as perversion), increasing crime, growing numbers of neurotics and psychotics, growing obsession with death and with the Hereafter." Most prominently, wars of imperialism begin. These are attempts to impose a single political structure on the entire civilization, to achieve economic expansion by political means. These conflicts usually occur from the outside in. That is, wars of imperialism are generally waged by the political entities on the periphery of a civilization against the core. As the core succumbs first to a declining rate of expansion, and as unrest peaks there first, the more dynamic peripheral states conclude (not unreasonably, from their perspective) that "the center is hollow, it cannot stand." Rather than expanding outward, the smaller boundary states first consume each other, then they turn their attention inward, fighting over the remains of the core until one state (usually one of the most peripheral) has imposed its political structure over the entire civilization. http://www.draftymanor.com/bart/h_quigl3.htm

Thank god its finally confirmed, i never understood the need to make 999 selfies where ever you go. I get the feeling that people are not even enjoying the moments they live, its much more important for them to document it and share with others, instead of living their life for thir own enjoyment. Tech created a lot of dumb people , thats for sure.
cheers
excactly, they are basically NSA zombie slaves

I just saw a PBS show about emotional health that claims "social connections" are required for happiness. Do you believe this is true? ...or Perhaps it is propaganda to undermine the happiness of independent people who don't always require the "emotional support" of others?
What do you think? Is it true that strong "social connections" are required for happiness?
Sex is way more important!

Of the John Woo films I saw, 'The Replacement Killers' and 'Bulletproof Monk' were pretty good, both of which starred Chow Yun‑Fat who I really like. A couple more great Chow Yun‑Fat films I would recommend watching are 'The Corruptor' and 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'. ( There's more, but I don't want to make this post all about him.) Regarding the other Woo films I saw, 'Broken Arrow' was alright, but I didn't really care for 'Hard Target', 'Paycheck', 'Face/Off' or 'Mission Impossible II'. Although the original 'Mission Impossible', directed by Brian De Palma, was great. Thanks man!

To me it seems that Bitcoin remains the no. 1 crypto currency "type of system", at least in the near future. But there's upcoming big players in the alt / asset world, and in this topic we put together and compare (not bash!) new groundbreaking tech and possible consequences ( to society, economy, internet...) of those potential future currencies / assets / projects. Ethereum MaidSafeCoin SuperNET InstantDEX etc This topic is not about coming here and post an ad of your upcoming P&D coin X or "your project and tech sucks, this X coin is better (because I own X coin)".Let's discuss

Mark Cuban is the type of guy that should be legit on this whole heap of cards. Can I get some help?
Mark Cuban is the type of guy who ignors bitcoin #1 and waits to invest in its competitor. Hope he didnt buy litecoins @ $50. Litecoin never went to $50, it's peak was @ $48
