Quite clever to make sure that if Bitcoin hits $1 million before 31 December 2020 that would also fulfil his prediction no matter what exact price is at that day. #smartAfee
I have no idea what will be price of bitcoins in the next five years but saying a millions seems too much for me honestly speaking. I am fine if everyone disagree with it though. I don't even think I will ever see $1 million per BTC in my lifetime. Also would like to be proved wrong. For me, $100K (in ten years) is enough of a utopian dream.

^^Might get one on principle. Samsung supporting the cause for mainstream adoption gets my attention. Go bitcoin go But, but.... 0.3BTC?!?! And it's not even an iPhone! No, really, I appreciate they being innovators at including that feature for mainstream adoption. Every *Android* user that can afford to get one, should. I don't know: I remember spending .3btc on a bunch of towels. As for Apple, why would I ever trust anything to a closed source system like that? You should not because you cannot trust closed source period You should not even trust open source.

Yeah, ok, but .3 then is not the same as .3 now About the second question.... because the ball (and responsibility), would be in their field instead of mine for once. Anyway, my preference for iOS as a smartphone OS doesn't make me not appreciate the innovation Samsung is doing there. My kudos to them.

^ If you can afford a $1K phone you sure can store on it $1K. If the cloud was hacked you would probably be compensated. It would be shitshow not only for Samsung but for us. That being said, the wallet probably has additional encryption layers so even if you get access to the backup you still can't access the plaintext of it. And even if they don't have that right now (remember they are innovating here) that's something that could be added later.
I would not store my whole stash there. Same as I wouldn't go to the bank withdraw all my fiat and carry it on my pocket wallet.
I don't see any problem in storing any amount between $50 to $1K, depending on your needs. Maybe even way more if you are fucking rich. Just an amount you could afford to lose without jumping off a bridge.
It's great news no matter what. An amazing milestone for mainstream adoption.

Exactly I hate the IPhone/apple dumbed down products Mainstream adoption will boost the BTC price and we all profit Yup, I fully agree even if we have different preferences/tastes.

Still struggling to break through $4,000. I was expecting a concerted effort by major players to get us past $4,000 this weekend. I guess there’s still time but it really is acting as a strong resistance.
There's no point in concerting an effort to break $4k when the hardest resistance is a bit higher (4.3). One step at a time. Fair point. Maybe I’m just seeing 4k as a psychological barrier. Would be nice to get above 4k & not drop below it again. Thanks for the response. Please take into account this are just my speculations, that might be perfectly wrong. Sometimes I post as if I knew anything, when I don't. And yes, $4k is for sure a psychological resistance, but one that we have crossed a few times just to cross it back lower. 4.3K would probably be different, or at least, would establish $4K as lowest dip before rebounding. Again, I am just speculating. I don't even know if we are gonna cross $4K anytime soon, even if it seems the most probable outcome.

Indeed. I have instructed everyone I know (and care) to never ever open the door to police. Two reasons: 1- How do you know they aren't faking it? No amount of paperwork, badges or whatever can prove shit. 2- If they really ARE... for sure they are not coming to your fucking house for anything good. (of course you refer them to point 1, not 2, don't wanna make them angrier). If you allow it, do not say the amount of BTC accumulated, neither in the forums nor in the social networks, woman, GF, friends. I am poor. Everyone knows that. I don't even have a proper job right now. Considering my options... maybe I should apply to one of those social rents or whatever it is named (if you can't fight them, join them).

Bitcoin.org co-owner calls out Jack Dorsey, predicts CashApp will push censorship. An important principle that contributed to the emergence and growth of the cryptocurrency market was its accessibility and the lack of a “bar on entry.” The absence of censorship and central authority attracted proponents to make the coin a mainstay in several Libertarian campaigns.This principle was defended by Cobra, the co-owner of Bitcoin.org and Bitcointalk.org in his latest jibe at Jack Dorsey and Twitter via his latest tweet.https://ohiobitcoin.com/bitcoin-org-co-owner-calls-out-jack-dorsey-predicts-cashapp-will-push-censorship-2/Cobra is a poor communicator in general, but despite his overreaction here, he makes a vital point. @jack has a battle on his hands I wouldn't say he is a poor communicator but the problem is that he looks to be almost randomly switching sides all the time. It is always a surprise which foot he is gonna wake up each day/week before twitting. I have suspected for long that he simply likes to troll. Not saying most of his arguments are wrong but he lacks coherence in his positions.
