Please speak out your thought, if any

Yeah. Don't prevarict. Speak up.

What if he had 500K of bitcoins and wanted to fiat them before resigning?

And plans to spend them in Pattaya.

I don't see how it would affect the price.

Just a few weeks ago I was reading Wikipedia articles about the papacy and thinking that I'd like to see a new pope get elected soon. The induction ceremonies might be interesting. Apparently there's some chance that the new pope will be non-white, which would be very strange/interesting.

I wonder what luke-jr thinks about the abdication.

It's a shame to hear about his health problems... I've always enjoyed his writings. I hope he enjoys a comfortable retirement.

Luke-Jr doesn't accept this pope.

[bitdragon]

it is said the next pope will be the last pope and the next few months are going to be exciting.
it's going to be a rough ride for Bitcoin too, no doubt..

[Parazyd]

What does Bitcoin have with the pope?

[goodlord666]

Poor guy.

Official explanations aside, I bet he retired out of frustration over this whole 2012-end-of-the-world-"He should be arriving any minute I swear"-debacle.
