Chuck Norris can make the price go to $100,000 with the stroke of his beard.

One thing I've thought of in relation to in-game radio stations in general is the potential on Steam for someone to develop DLC-like radio stations not just for GTA, but for other games such as Saints Row and so forth, particularly given the support for music playback in Steam itself. That way, if you're not happy with the standard offerings, you can buy and download your own radio stations to add into games that would support them. Could even turn into a small business for some DJs to mix together some underground tracks for certain genres like breaks and minimal techno that normally wouldn't get a look-in for in-game music.

Clear my existing debts and reinvest the remainder.

$5k is a tad optimistic, but stranger things have happened in Bitcoinland. Not sure if I'm willing to place a bet on it happening, though.

$250 by the end of the month, I reckon.

I'm expecting the price to remain around this level for about another week or two. The outcome of the Ross Ulbricht trial might cause a bit of movement, though I'm not sure in which direction.

Wish I had a bit more fiat to buy with, but alas, not in my current situation.

Was expecting it to dip below $300, to be honest. Might start slowing down around the $250 mark.

Hopefully it won't be too long until cold-minting is implemented. Won't need to run my laptop overnight to keep it minting and cut my energy use in the process.

That said, I might end up getting a second Raspberry Pi to create a Peerbox.

Don't know about using a Bitcoin-sidechain, but a similar process using Blockchain technology with a faster time of 15 seconds per block would be more workable. The other thing that would need to be taken into consideration would be compatibility with the different networks that the SIMs would've used (i.e. for some phones, you'd need different SIMs to access 3G compared to a 4G service).

Another thing I wouldn't mind is the ability to buy tunes from sites like Beatport or Trackitdown using BTC or a similar cryptocurrency optimised for music sites. Digital goods are ideally suited to cryptocurrencies, the more I think about it.

US, Canada, China, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Netherlands. Already been to the UK, Singapore, Malaysia, Bali and Japan, but would like to explore Hokkaido and Okinawa as I didn't get to do so when I was in Japan a few years ago.

Heh, ended up tripling my AMHASH1 shares by trading for Petahash shares while they were low, offloaded them once they rose back up a bit and got lucky with the flash price suppression.

Property. One of the reasons I ended up looking into Bitcoin in the first place is that property prices in Perth are approaching levels akin to extortion. Even a simple apartment in the inner CBD or decent-sized property in a nearby country town would suit me.

Given what seems to happen to people like Charlie Shrem, I don't think it's particularly wise for someone to try and out Satoshi, even if someone like Tatsuaki Okamoto might well be him. If the guy wants to be anonymous, then leave him be.

I reckon between the middle to the end of the month that things will start to pick up a bit. Christmas and New Year would've dampened things a bit, so the effect of both will ease off around then.

Combination of a sig campaign and dividends from mining shares on Havelock. Was using Bitcoin Tapper for a while, but the returns for effort aren't really worth the time any more.

Mt.Gox and China would be the main reasons, IMO. The former was probably the one that caused the most damage and eroded a fair bit of faith in BTC to people looking in from the outside.
