So I was thinking this morning. And I realized one way to boost the price of bitcoin is to increase overall demand in the general populace. Then it hit me:
How about offering a service where when a loved one dies you can buy a bitcoin for the ferryman across the river Styx? The bitcoin is purchased, then on the day of the funeral the key for the bitcoin is burned, thus sending it to the afterlife.
Hey, it's like being buried with your grave goods and it increases the value of remaining bitcoins.

I am a little afraid to say this, but I have a 401k plan that has a really decent amount of money in it and more than 15 years of building; however, in early 2017, my BTC investment was on parity with it and even surpassed it and even now is getting to be like 4x the value of my 401k plan with way less amount of money placed into bitcoin over a much shorter period of time.
https://www.broadfinancial.com/self-directed/bitcoin-ira/#justsayin' Thanks for the link. I was just comparing performance of my traditional investments, such as a big one that I already established many years ago (hahahaha established close to 17 years, ago) to my BTC investment - but I am not really interested, at the moment, in diversifying any of my current assets into such a self-directed Bitcoin IRA - even though it would likely be appealing to some thread readers. |

do we keep an eye on the price movement chart
we are observe wall  Now, THAT is a beautiful wall, though your english isn`t as beautiful. I like the brick in the lower left, he`s holding it all together. Löl. Did you know that '≠`? And that a brick is actually neuter, not male? And that English is spelled with an upper case "E"? People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones...  Exactly ! |

I can barely imagine how much cream would've poured out of everyone's knickers if that was posted in any year other than this one. As it stands, it's a little silly that a completely logical stance is lauded, but that goes to show the calibre of the average detractor. |

Hey - who here remembers Goat's Lambo?
Less than four years ago. It's hard to imagine where bitcoin will be in another 4 years. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=378936.0USD 191,000 BTC 216.8 Same priced car can now be bought with about 27 BTC. Or on the flip side, that 216.8 BTC is now worth a cool 1.5 million USD. This poser thinks he was the first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY86vH7z9qA |

you guys really think that this will go on forever? What when the whole US population has a wallet on Coinbase? IMO what is happening is just because almost no alts can be bought for fiat, so bitcoin is a forced step both to get in and out of alts. That's why it's pumping for the double effect of fiat inflow and alt dumping.
At some point some alts might well get traction. Just a matter of time.

The 2013 spikes were caused by a Mt Gox bot, it had nothing to do with supply and demand.

I got a PM from him. He decided to confide in me, since we get along so well. He told me that he has been thinking a lot, and mostly coming back to roach with all of his waking thoughts. Therefore, he decided to go on a gold and silver buying spree.. in other words, he's hanging out with the roachster, and hating the rest of us fucks.  |
