I am pretty confident we are the new wealthy elite, gentlemen.

I agree, bitcoin is on a major rise now ..

Tell that to the guys who purchsed Bitcoin when the exchange rate was going at $1,200 per coin. Bitcoin has lost 80% of its value, from its peak, which was reached in December 2013. No fiat currency has suffered such a crash. The worst performing fiat currency is the Ukrainian Hryvnia, which has seen its value dropping by 60%.

*ahem* Deutchmark under the Weimar republic. Venezuelan dollar in 2005. Zimbabwean dollar around the same time... I can come up with others. Where BTC did better, is that it did bounce back.

does anybody really feel that it will go back to 1200$ (practically)

If it doesn't go astronomically past that point, it is a fail that will just disappear.  

This is correct. Longterm, the price per coin and market cap must continue increasing with difficulty or the incentive system would fall apart because btc wouldn't be profitable to mine.

I think bitcoin will sail past 12,000 United States promissory bancnotes. Transparent decentralized mathematics vs. The full faith and credit of a military empire currently sliding into collapse and economic ruin...

This isn't that hard to predict. No hegemony in history lasts forever.

If BTC becomes unprofitable to mine, then people will stop mining it. Then difficulty will plummet. Then it becomes profitable to mine again. The system is not so fragile.

Probably heard that a few times before it hit $1200 the first time. No one see's the future, but if it happened once it is, in fact, possible.

I hope that thing will be happened too. But now we must think realistic and see market chart. Now market price stuck at $240, it's still too far from $1200. But i really hope it will be happened again

It may also be instructive to point out that the most successful fiat currency of all time -- the USD -- has lost 97% of its value since its inception.

It's kinda fun looking at these threads, like a blast from the past. These people who were here this early surely got some cheap coins. Many must've become millionaire's if they held them long enough.

Fiat is built to be inflationary.  Over an aggregate time period it is designed to grow at 2-3% per year.  So, sadly, it is working as intended.

Bitcoin can be reduced to decimals far past $0.01.  So while I think Bitcoin is a very breakthrough and revolutionary means of payment, it does not mean I should be ignorant to the qualifications or achievements that 'paper' has almost magically accomplished.

Avoid putting on blinders.  We have a better chance of making Bitcoin mainstream if we think before we speak.

Aye. The US dollar is probably the most successful long term scam in history. It has retained it's exchangeability through inflation that SHOULD HAVE killed it. Actual inflation, based on purchasing power only, has been very high at many times. True inflation is even higher than that, following the Austrian postion that inflation actually only has one definition: Adding to the supply. Looking at it from that point of view, and for the moment ignoring the legerdemain of the Federal Reserve and Treasury Department, the actual inflation from 2008 to present (as far as we can determine) was nearer to 80%. We're talking Weimar levels here, and yet the PR army manages to hold the lid on it. For now. I would not have thought it could last as long as it has, let alone be 2014's best investment. But it did. It seems that people prefer a comforting lie to the stark, ugly truth.

Yet it cannot be sustained. The money will either have to be revalued and reissued with a planned default, or there will be the unplanned one when merchants simply won't take the paper anymore.

At the moment, BTC is inflationary, as was gold in the early days of mining, but that will pass. It will become more valuable over time, if it gains wider adoption.

I personally think that BTC is just the beginning. I think the concept sound, but the inital currency deeply flawed on multiple levels. But that first mover advantage will keep it on top for some time to come.

I was talking about the situation since 2013. Out of the 200 or so different fiat currencies (plus BTC) in existence, Bitcoin is the worst performing currency against the US Dollar since December 2013. Historically, currencies such as the Deutchmark and the Venezuelan dollar have suffered even worse crashes. But they occurred years, if not decades ago.

After reading this, the scale of black market and digital economies and the effect Bitcoin will have on them I am pretty certain we are going to be very wealthy men -- even with a sum as small as 10 Bitcoins. It's just so hard to believe. We are only in the beginning storms with these significant rallies from 10 to 20 dollars. I will not be surprised to see prices from hundreds to thousands in the coming months.

The world just isn't going to be the same and we have been blessed as the pioneers.

What are you going to do with your Bitcoin wealth once your coins hit upwards of $10,000 a pop?

When measured in terms of implied value against the US dollar rather than the artificial "official" value, the Venezuelan bolivar has actually performed worse (60 VEF to 1 USD on December 2013 to 430 VEF to 1 USD on May 2015):

You're quoting a post from 2011. It's fairly common for links posted many years ago to no longer work. A copy of the article can be found here:

http://themonetaryfuture.blogspot.com/2011/06/bitcoin-is-economic-singularity.html

The author seems to have entered the Bitcoin world during the June 2011 bubble when prices were skyrocketing and "mainstream" people were beginning to hear about it for the first time. In the article, he predicts that the value of Bitcoin will explode tremendously in the next three years (a prediction which later turned out to be mostly correct) and also recommends putting nearly all of your assets into BTC.

According to a block explorer, that account has     0.6198463 BTC in it, from four transactions. No outputs. So it would appear that your coins are not lost. Do you have a backup of the wallet? It sounds to me like something got corrupted. You may need to resync the blockchain. However, if it is in sync (equal to the block explorers, there are a couple of options to try. First, of course, make at least one backup of wallet.dat in a SAFE place (not the VPS). I use Bitvise myself, if I'm forced to use Windows, but that's neither here nor there. Once you have wallet.dat backed up, try starting the client with -repairwallet and see if that recovers your coins.

Afaik there are no risks in using VPS , Tor or any other proxies, as long as you control the private keys it should't matter. He probably had a keylogger or something.

Probably not soon though I'd prefer a gradual increase in btc price over a few years than the massive fluctuations like we saw in the last few rallies (up t0 $1200).
Not only that, I want to buy more at the current price

[Acidyo]

Does anyone think the price of bitcoin will ever go below $100 again? The reason I ask is because that is the way things are looking before a real run up.
