I made two transactions one & half hours ago, but it still gets no confirmation. 

My Client says that the 210934 blocks already downloaded was from 54 minetes ago. Why? Is this normal? Thanks.

in December 2012 is most unlikely. My vote is in 4th quarter.

It seems most probably to my finger's bone that Bitcoin may break its all time high of $31 in 2013, but don't know in which quarter. Any input and vote shall be greatly appreciated.

Is it something like a legal tender? 

I just cannot figure out how to make a brianwallet with a phrase. Anybody provide me with a simple procedure or just a clue? Thanks!
I also noticed the wallet.dat can be recorded on a paper. But I dont know how to.

I'm a veteran silver stacker and a newbie bitcoin speculator. What I'm concerning most now is that in the near or intermediary period which one shall go to da moon first? Siver or bitcoin?
FYI: my DCA of bitcoin is only a little bit under the present day price.

If bitcoin went to da moon tomorrow, those who heavily in BTC would become as rich as the Tsar.

Everytime it took me 40 hours to download the entire blockchain to my destop pc. It's very boring.

Thanks a lot for all your replies upstairs. I'm also a PM stacker and my portfolio roughly includes 10% in gold and 40% in silver - all of them in physical bullions - as well as 25% or so in realties and 15% in numerous investments like antique items and the Paper Silver (which is most liquid) etc., with the remainder 5% in Bitcoin. Now I am considering whether or not I should sell part of my Paper Silver (a trading protocol sponsered by a big bank to closely following the silver price) position and then use the money to add more bitcoins to my present holdings. What's your opinion? Your comments shall be greatly appreciated.

问楼主两个问题：
1）删了Wallet.dat后，客户端还能用吗？
2）加密了Wallet.dat后，客户端还能用吗？是不是解密了以后才能用？
谢谢！

I'm a newcomer and it's my first post here.

I'm a newbie in this BTC thing, and till now I've put 1/20th of my disposable money (for investment purpose) in Bitcoin. To be exact, I bought them directly from a BTC exchange - BtcChina, instead of mining hard all day long with the sophisticated equipments. Yes, your guessing is right, I'm a Chinese people buying BTC with the local currency CNY.

My question now is that how many % of your disposable money have you already in BTC? Is 1/20th too small? thanks.

Can I?

1000美元的话，总市值只有也210亿美元。有一篇老外的文章说，世界主要经济体国家中非法外逃的灰色资金高达21万亿美元，超过美国和日本外债的总和。如果这些资金中有1%选择比特币的话，就高达2100亿美元，十倍于1000美元时的比特币的总市值。

You can sell your BTC to me. 

不晓得！

嗯，是这样。
