Imagine having 10,000 bitcoin’s these days, Jeez!
I’d possibly kill to even have 1,000 bitcoin’s.

Meh, I kinda cringe when I see that quote. Not because the guy would've been rich, but because : 1. Steve Jobs and others would have diluted the fuck out of that guy's shares, leaving him with a pittance left in stake. (Of course he could have sued all Eduardo Saverin style, but still) 2. He probably wouldn't have held all of his stake until now. Not even close. He likely would have dumped his remaining shares during the late 90's when Apple was about to go completely bankrupt from incompetence.

Truth be told if he hadn't spent those bitcoins on a pizza, and if CNN hadn't picked it up as a "story" then Bitcoin would have gone the way of flooz and all the other weird payment methods. It was that event IMO that got bitcoin something more than "stupid idea" into "hey, someone will actually pay for this stuff".
Laszlo died for your sins....
Pretty much agree with that, its only the usage which will prove any value eventually and BTC is fast, global and cheap. If its not capable of those things, another product will beat it fairly sure. Not using it ever seems a fail and the super obvious thing is there is no reason after spending the BTC he cant get more. Using the BTC created demand If he could use his GPU then great, why wouldn't he use it then or even if he had to rebuy the BTC it was still useful at that moment to be able to use them. Really it was just a demo anyway. The guy who sold his house for BTC was probably a bigger deal and that thread was updated by that house seller over years but the thread got locked because too many people were commentating on the thread which is unfortunate. The secure token for 'internet money' idea goes back 25 years at least and its a reality now, I just think its a shame if its only held not used. Before BTC alot of monetisation came in via advertising and before that I just remember alot of home built web pages made in notepad and not alot of organisation as it was not as business orientated or motivated. Low monetary velocity, the tech boom was stocks large companies perhaps not especially at ground level and I count the ground up as the most genuine long lasting economic growth. If BTC moved like stocks inflating and deflating, its not as important as actual usage and some of tech boom stocks blew up and never came back which is how many view BTC just a name not a new use BTC is useful for pushing useful exchange to areas of the world and population that otherwise are chaotic and not effectively monetised, stuck in bargaining maybe. There is a kind of elitism behind the Global reserve system of money, presently tied to Dollar it revolves around politics but I believe every human born has the capability to be a genius who changes the world but that wont happen if they are born into the wrong country or situation. Enabling those people is growth productive and more then justifies BTC existence and ongoing operation, I hope it can be something for the smallest people and the most growth That exponential picture of the Turkish Lira decline back there, as well a set of numbers it represents paupers being created, whole sections of society who will struggle just to exist and very unlikely to be a productive situation. Ditto Venezuela and anywhere else, eventually I expect similar in the west even BTC price is sideways out of a negative channel which could prove positive if it closed daily above 6400 or so

Good time to go to Turkey on holiday, cheap as fuck, been twice. Food is a bit shit but weather is great & beaches are nice. Been planning to get my teeth done there next year by a well known company out there, full set of pearly white veneer’s, very cheap when compared to UK/US prices for similar work.

Care to tell what the price is? I am OK, but relative recently did such job somehere in europe, so I am curious. His cost was about $15000 ($10K+$5K) for a full set. I am not sure how much it is in US, but probably much more and not covered by insurance. I had a single implant done-it cost thousands, don't remember how much out of the pocket.

Dental Centre Turkey www.dentalcentreturkey.com They’re based in Antalya but have a few clinics across Turkey. Looking at about 3000 GBP for 8 top & 8 bottom so around 4500 GBP for a full set if you wanted that. Loads of UK celebs have used them (I’m not into that scene but great teeth are important, no?) They want your English or American fiat, they don’t want their currency. You pay a deposit & then the rest in cash when you get there.

Normally yes, but in the current heatwave the temperatures there are probably approaching 50 degrees!

I did a week at an all inclusive resort in Antalya a few years back. Turkey is like the Mexico of Europe in that regard. Everything was as a 5 star resort should be. Except the dominance of Russians who would wake up at 6AM to put their towel on the open chairs by the pool. My capitalist ass didn't have a chance against the former communists who knew best how to take advantage of limited free resources.

Aggressive bastards who don’t know what a queue at the bar is.

I guess with so many people they needed to figure out how to push their way forward in very limited space. At the immigration line in Thailand me and another large westerner had to play defense against these people trying to sneak past. It was futile.

My worst experience in recent memory was the underground/metro system in the Ukraine. I went in May to watch my team (Liverpool) sadly lose in the Champions League Final. I’m never going back there though, the people are cold, man. No emotion, nothing. None of them smile.

cheap as fuck
The only good thing left in Turkey. I am Turkish and I'm going to Barcelona this month for vacation. I took very serious kicks with the recent collapse of Turkish Lira but I don't give a fuck. This is my fucking vacation after working 1 fucking year. Can't fucking cancel it. Fuck it. Good thing is I'm buying BTC with all my monthly income since March. See you in 2022 at the 5btc party.

I never understood wtf is so attractive having a vacation in a 5 star hotel where you don't see anything but the hotel and the sea. Yes food is free, drinks are free, most stuff are free and it is cheap but where is the fun? Maybe it is just me, I like to explore the city which I am visiting. Maybe it is because I am single and no kids. Drinking jack&coke all day under the sun and sleeping whole day this ain't a vacation I can't believe how many tourists come to Antalya for that crap. No wonder most of them are (broke) Russians I guess.

Proof of 5 BTC ownership is going to be tough for the masses in 2022. Looking forward to it, and I am thinking that I will be in that club, too, as long as I don't fuck things up for myself by getting greedy and trying to short or some other such rash act.
