Another interesting thing to point out: if over 21 million people adopt BTC, the average person can't have an entire BTC to their name  So yeah, hoarding is just an early adopter thing. The more popular BTC gets, the faster it gets popular, and the less people will bother to hoard, as there won't be much to hoard by the time it gets that popular. Of course, everyone will (hopefully) have a little bit in savings, and spend on what they want and need like they would in fiat. After all, wealth earned and not spent is wealth wasted. |

You have a point, especially considering all the coins that have been lost due to some malfunction or hacker or whatever. People who don't want to worry about wallet security (at least, security of funds over 100$) will definitely want a bank to handle their funds.
I actually use a credit union for my fiat; maybe something like that would be good for BTC?

Naw I don't think the mods need to bother with that. Unless they go rogue and start editing posts maliciously (which, if that happens, they wouldn't stay mods for long), I couldn't care less what the mods are up to. Also, keep up the great work mods  |

If BTC is an issue, XBT has my vote, or XBC is just as good.

Sad but true. I know from personal experience, you can't sell novels on Amazon without having some buddies (or using a service like this) cough up reviews for it. Nobody buys it otherwise. They don't even come close to buying without those reviews to glance over. And if nobody buys, you never get reviews--a vicious cycle of empty wallets |

Trademarks of a scammer  "QUICK GOTTA BUY FAST HURRY" and an unfounded fear of escrow. |

I'm not interested in any challenge.
... Fuck you....retards That's when your business died Also, your irrelevant spam in various topics isn't appreciated. This isn't helping. I wish you luck with your business, because you will need it. Nobody wants to buy from a hack, and nobody wants to know an abusive hack. You're not selling in BTC, you're not selling anything remotely new. You copied and pasted someone else's design (give me whatever links you please; you didn't design it, we all know it) onto a bunch of random shit and hoped to turn a buck. Stop pretending, adopt a real trade, and go away. |

XRP aren't really an altcoin But I think it's the XRP which is the most confusing aspect of Ripple. I get everything else so far, but I don't know what I'm doing with these ripples exactly--isn't that what the IOU's are for? |

I do not understand. I can send money directly to anybody in the world using Bitcoin with ZERO risk. Or using ripple? I'll give $10,000USD to my fiend, he give them to his friend (then 6 other I never saw)... and if one of them is cheater I have lost $10,000 USD. This is Ripple ? If somebody buy me a coffee I can give him $1M ?
EDIT: I'm sorry I do not have so trustworthy friend.
I believe the point is, if your buddy isn't using Bitcoin, or you're expecting payment from a person who isn't using Bitcoin, you could use Ripple with any currency |

One self-assured genius went so far as to suggest jugs of Tide were a better form of "currency" than BTC. Some of the comments are outright laughable. Some of these doomers and skipping records are convinced they're going to be standing over their gold and food preps with semi-auto rifles, trading cigarettes and pieces of silver for more ammo and food on a black market, fighting the "government" stormtroopers when their imminent fantasy Mad Max collapse happens any day now. Maybe they will be proven to be correct, who's to know? However, some of the shit people are saying is outright absurd. It really is laughable and is representative of how far the comments section has degenerated for a place that was full of intelligence and open minds not too long ago.
That's utterly ridiculous. Everyone knows we're going to be trading bottle caps by the time that happens. |

90% of the contempt towards bitcoin come from the precious metal stackers on zerohedge.
You would expect PM stackers to "get" Bitcoin faster than the average person. I suppose most of them get stuck on "tangibility" and a misunderstanding of "intrinsic value". Their heads are too far up their asses to care about stuff like that Gold's worked since it was blasted out of a sun and into Earth, so why use anything else? My iRock can't make calls, either, but I can still chuck it at a guy's head--they'll get my message Nah but really, they're dinosaurs wearing blinders. They got their formula--no thinking required. |

...it just seems like a waste of time.
This is my biggest issue with most jobs. If all I'm doing is pushing a corporation forward to fulfill the desires of a man I care nothing about, my time is wasted, and I will never make it back. But apparently my time is only worth 9$ an hour anyway, so I don't know what I'm complaining about. Ain't corporations great |

Okay I think I got it.
Bitcoin works like gold, where the more of it you have, the richer you are.
Ripple works like fiat, where the more of it you're owed, the richer you are.
Ripple only works with Bitcoin if you're literally expecting to be owed in Bitcoin. Otherwise, they can work perfectly separate from each other, and you can still expect dollars or baht or pounds or SteveCoins, whatever your preference is. Is this the point of Ripple? To unify all the world's fiat currencies, whatever they may be, into one gigantic system of IOU?
Oh god please say yes
