But... there are infinite precious metals in the universe and bacteria can make it from their anus..  Excellent point: Why are bacteria not being used to mine bitcoins? |

I guess history is destined to repeat. Over and over again. The first company I witnessed to basically pre-mine all their coins, crowdsale the majority (~80%) of their coins to a select few investors (in return for btc I might add), and allow the remaining tiny float to be bid up quickly by Average Joe retail buyers was Nxt. Nxt had a single developer who basically controlled everything. The source was closed, at least in the beginning. And we can see from history how that all turned out. (Of course Nxt is getting pumped again now like every other shitcoin). And Nxt arguably had an actual working wallet before they even did their crowdsale, and was working on an integrated marketplace. These Eth ICOs have nothing but slick marketing and over promises. Someone correct me if I got the facts wrong. ICO´s are scams. a few minutes to gain $ 50 million for a small software project?? my ass. isn´t it ironic that bitcoiners who get labeled by outsiders as delusional greedy fuckers see THE REAL GREED, see people on the verge of ruining themselves, and are all of a sudden conservative, sane investors... ?! lawmakers will outlaw all alts and recognize bitcoin only. Far more likely that lawmakers all the ones that the government can't exercise control over surely. They'll be a few asset seizures and some scammers will go to jail - but the big downside will be the regulatory oversight off the whole crypto universe. ICO's need regulating just like IPOs to protect ordinary greedy folk from themselves. |

Excellent point: Why are bacteria not being used to mine bitcoins? well, in the reality, you can supply a digital clock with potatoes ... so, yes, you can mine bitcoins with ... a thousand potatos for UPS. i prefer solar panel ... more reliable over 25 years.  |

I am thining about launching my own ICO. I will name it ScamICO (SICO) and I am sure it will be a fucking disaste, because, unlike the rest, I will be the only one delivering exactly as promised. Mmhhhh, on second second I wouldn't be surprised if some people handed me a few millions without even reading the name. Maybe I should do it... Anyone on board?  You need escrow that specializes in ICO? Multi-signature if you want, with another guy I know. |

In the future we will be sucking our entire sun energy to mine a tiny fraction of the already existing 21 mill of bitcoins, while a fleet of mining space ships will be dumping tons of fresh infinite precious metals in the market.  |

I picture a mesh network of solar-powered, low earth orbit satellite miners all beaming back bitcoin directly to the exchanges. Someone should go crowdfund that. |

Good morning Bitcoinland. Taking a little breather on the way back up after yesterday's correction/profit-taking. About halfway back...$2740USD (Bitcoinaverage). That's OK. We still have 5 days to turn the weekly candle green. Yep. It's those damned masons. Nobody knows how to lay the stones any more... except maybe Margaret Trudeau.  Oops, I'm showing my age again.  |

That's OK. We still have 5 days to turn the weekly candle green.
imo it will have pretty hard time to get past resistances @around 2800 and 2900 (finex,stamp) |

Quite. Block chaining all the things has gone to that other level of the game.

North Korea benefited very nicely from unleashing that ransomware recently so I'm sure there'll be a North Korean ICBM ICO soon. Token holders don't get aimed at. I get the impression that Mr. Rodman is rather suggestible and would probably turn up to meet the Dear/Great/Eternal leader dressed as a fairy cake if you asked nicely. |

That is the very first time in history that tulips have been brought up when it comes to cryptocurrency. First time ever. Is the writer a genius? Amazing that he could find such an event in history and then correlate it to modern technology. Wow. Absolute genius. Hahahahaha.. Never thought about it like this. |

I don't think he has a leather-clad grip on reality. But there's a lot of that going around, and it seems to be paying dividends. |

The most realistic near future scenario I've seen was in an anime called Gundam Zero, where 300 years into the future, the planet is powered by solar energy harvested from panels in low earth orbit, connected to three orbital elevators. Poor countries had to buy power by setting up microwave antennas. The robots (or mobile suits) were just for fun I guess, hehehe.
That's kinda still ... 300 years from now. I imagine just a few decades to maybe a couple hundred years, someone will just make giant floating solar panel arrays in the equator (in international waters)
