Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Does the exchange rate at the time of the transaction matter in this? As far as purchases I now regret ... I still have unspent a Starbux $10 gift card that I purchased with bitcoins, paying 50 BTC for it (back when they were trading at under $0.25 per BTC). There are a few people who paid for ASIC hardware back when BTC/USD was about $6 and are still waiting, with regrets. |

Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable. I never believe them. If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins. I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion. Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice. Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.

Wow congrats casascius, you deserve it. I like to think I helped pay for a little tiny bit of that... |

It was not me, but 10 000 BTC pizza sounds rather expensive.

Yeah, that's the one I remembered. I think the epic pizza request thread is still on this site somewhere. That's like a $300,000 pizza now.... *nice*! |

I guess the most expensive single item Ive purchased was a SSD harddrive 12btc (~200$ at the time), other things I've spent on are bitcoin t-shirts, gambling sites, hosting and casascius coins.

An imaginary TouchPad from a scammer. Better to learn the lesson earlier than later I suppose (this was probably a year ago).
