Yes I would be the elite if I had bought 10 000 btc at 1$, but guess what I didn't.

Skip ahead two or three years. Someone will post "Yes I would be the elite if I had bought 10 BTC at $200."  Wink

If everyone who thinks they could have bought 10 000 btc at 1$ had actually bought 10 000 btc at 1$ then none of those people would have actually been able to buy 10 000 btc at 1$.

One of the things politicians want to achieve, is to adjust salaries and entitlements downwards. If and when everything is adjusted to expected inflation, inflation will increase to something that is unexpected.

Politicians want to win elections and have power, and they'll basically do whatever it takes to get those things.

If you have skills, then in most markets your salary will roughly reflect your skills regardless of what inflation is, unless you're in some sort of hyperinflation. That's why companies adjust salaries using a 'cost of living increase' every year, usually about 2%, because inflation has been about 2% for a while. It's not a big deal.

you are focusing on the seen and missing the unseen. that 2% inflation isnt just a magical mystical change in purchasing power that leeks into our dimension from the ether, it represents the fact that someone is printing money. that is a wealth transfer from the people who save to the people who print. thats represents a new computer or used car or w/e that you dont have, and that the printer of the money now does have. Yea in a prosperous economy you could still survive just like a human can survive with a tick on it, that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to remove ticks.

A single bitcoin is going to be very valuable in the future.  I plan to have many.

That's so predictable. I know a few guiys who were kicking themselves a year ago for "not buying in when it was under $10", now they're complaining about "not buying when it was under $100". And they'll still be complaining next year for "not buying when they were under $1000".

I've been buying on a regular basis regardless of price and I'm bewildered by their thought process.

Yeah, please try again around 1000 USD/BTC price point, thank you!

Those who mined&bought BTC are already among the new wealthy elite, no need to wait for $1000 USD/BTC.

yes, the very early adopters and now devs, businessmen etc etc are already very wealthy. they will build more on top of bitcoin and make the system even better.

as more merchants accept bitcoins, the market must grow and get stronger.  Question is is the price stay leveled or as more coins are minted in the next few months with the crazy TH/S mining rate, if the mining produce more coins than it needs or the other way around.

Any Generous boy/girl, can you give me a starter BTC?  1AHNusc3BQA2QJCokySAQ1Qtymr1ZyAG6P

When the mining rate is increasing, there is not more bitcoin minted, they are just harder to mint. The max amount of bitcoin is cap at 21M https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/File:Total_bitcoins_over_time_graph.png
