So, OP tell us the truth. As of today 2013-04-05 BTC1 = $140. Did the things get interesting for you?   Grin

hoho! Nice! I got in a bit late, but way before all this bitcoin rush. Also, you can buy a motorcycle right in bitcoins too. The guy who sold porsche for bitcoins, still has motorcycle for sale.
This is my dream to buy everything right in bitcoins and just don't bother with fiat

Give it a shot. I'm interested to hear what your argument on why no one should pay taxes.

I recall an interview with Bill Still where he said that we needn't pay taxes - money would just be created by the government for roads, infrastructure etc as required.

Seems almost as dangerous as our current system to me but he didn't go into much detail, might have to look into it some more.

There are quite a few countries with no income tax though and I can imagine that governments could easily not only be self sustaining but generate surplus without tax.

Once we past 200$, likely today it is even more interesting.

I guess what will happen when we reach $1000

I can foresee some pumping&dumping coming, let's be prepared to take some cheap coins from weak hands!

Yes, basically, I will be able to pay my mortgage fully with my initial investment in bitcoin $8k That's how interesting things will get once we past $200
And this is why the rich will get richer, and the poor get poorer.  Because all of us poor folk are doing responsible things like paying off loans, losing our investment in BTC while selling it to those with millions.  Cheesy

hahaha yeah... but wait a minute. the fact that I will be ableto pay off my mortgage doesn't mean that I will actually do it.
Why would I sell my BTC investment with insane returns to pay off a 4.5% APR loan?
I'll keep my BTC for now... but eventually I will reduce my BTC investment in half.
Cool.  Wink

Hey deathcode, how will be things getting once we past $1,000?

let me check... mmmm

have you seen boiler room? the speech from Ben Affleck?

Well, I'll resume it for you:

"I'm a fucking millionaire" Smiley Smiley Smiley


reality check: I don't think it will happen this year.

Do you realize how many fucking millionaires there would be in this forum if (or I should say when?) we hit $1,000?

reality check: It may happen this year, but I hope things calm down a bit.

Considering how excited was the OP during the run up to $266 and how calm and cautious he became after the April crash and the subsequent run up to $1000, id bet he sold most of his coins during the bear market and before the run up to $1000.

Ouch.
