Hi all.  I've been reading posts here for about four months.  Figured I should finally get things in order so I can post.

Hello,

I am a US economist with bachelors degrees in Economics and Psychology, a Master's degree in Operations Research/Statistics, with an MBA finishing up this Spring.

I have been watching this project for some time, and I think that I can help BitCoin overcome its current and future challenges. A currency with the properties of BTC presents many excellent opportunities for new businesses, macroeconomic insights, tracing the public's adoption of a new idea, etc.

Hoping to get out of the newbies box ASAP so I can do something a little more technical...getting people around here to stop complaining about "deflation" (with a funny video or graphic or something) would be quite an accomplishment (alas, the decentralized BTC relies too much on "network externalities" for us to abandon the public education/marketing campaign any time soon).

(The way things have been going here in the states, though, people will be complaining plenty about INflation in the near future)!

: )

the current bitcoin-system ends up at 21 million BTCs in the year 2033 as predicted, so i don't think that bitcoins as we know now are gonna be a real option to leave the dollar.

This is not accurate information.  Try not to speak with authority on the matter until you actually have some, please.

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

Glad to have you.

I've had some concerns about those externalities, but they are generally minor and no one has been able to come up with a modification that doesn't either break user anonimity, create a potential network attack vector or establish a network version of a "central bank" node.  All three of which simply undermines the system.  So in the end, I have just resolved to trust that those externalites are insignificant compared to Bitcoin's other advantages.

Good luck trying to break the general view on economics, I've been trying to do exactly that for years now.  And you are certainly not the first trained economist in the mix here.

i do not believe that i'm talking with authority on any matters in the newbie's section  Roll Eyes i didn't want to be accurate within a sentence, i just wanted to express my thoughts about the official data on the possible amount of "real" bitcoins with the current software in a short term.

Well, at least I know that you're not a bot.

While the 21 million bitcoin limit is correct, it's a limit in the math sense of the word.  The total bitcoins issued will ever approach, but never reach, 21 million.  The 2030 date is misinformation that we have been trying to combat for some time.  However, each bitcoin is divisible to the eighth decimal place (in a sense, because there isn't actually an artifact that could be called a bitcoin, not even a digital one) at the present time.  So if the integer that holds the value is never increased beyond the current 64 bit (unlikley) the block reward will slip below the eighth decimal place around 2130, not 2030.

The incredible divisibilty of bitcoin insures that the 21 million bitcoin limit is irrelevent.

Hello. Once again another obstacle to acquire bit coin. If you ever wonder why there isn't a wider use rate it's because the exchanges & forums make it near impossible as a newbie to get anything done in a timely matter.

I have used bc for about 6 months now and still, as example here today can't believe how unnecessarily hard this whole process is.

How hard is to post five times and read the forums for a while? just so you know what's going on in the forum and learn to use it properly.
