Let's see. There is less than 1% world wide BTC adoption. Maybe 10% of the nocoiners are purposefully not taking a stake into bitcoin because they are either afraid or they believe it will not succeed? I would suggest that 90% of the nocoiners do not know about bitcoin or they are superficially informed about it (which is the same as not knowing).
Most of nocoiners believe they already missed the train and it is irrational to enter now. (just like they thought in 2015 and 2013.) They are obsessed with gold and silver. Sometimes I really suspect that they are the people that Anunnaki cursed with searching gold forever. I can't find any explanation to their obsession. It is fine to own %5-10 gold but even if gold succeeds, I mean how much can it go? $5k? And if gold ever hits $5k, what usability does it offer? I'll tell you, It has none. None in this digital age. It is not mobile, it can be counterfeited, it is physical (means can be stolen and you need physical space to store them) etc... Gold is done. Sure it will always have some value but we will never go back to the medieval ages... Unless a world war comes up ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) , and even so, gold's chances of being the world currency is zero. That's because the internet will always be around. Either WWIII happens or not.

I noticed that they list authorized resellers, and even though the list is decently long, such list of authorized resellers does limit the suggested locations in order to feel a decent level of confidence in the security of the product that you get. A surprising thing about security, an attacker could wait several years before executing the attack.... I hate the fact that some products might be more expensive when they have to go through official channels, but in the cas of storing bitcoin value, it could be well worth the extra 20%... so instead of paying $100 in a more open market, you may have to pay $120 in order to go through a recommended dealer.. something like that. I actually had an incident with one of my phones that I bought used, and later, I was thinking that it just might not be worth it to get my phone through an unauthorized channel, even though I may have to pay double. Kind of sucks, but security is important in a world that hackers have such a considerably great incentive to get into your stuff and make irreversible transactions (costs of being your own bank are not low). If it is to buy, it is better to do it in the official store, even if it is more expensive, but it is safer, mainly with wallets.

Fucking hell, CW is a total & utter loser. Just for the sake of argument, assuming that: CSW does indeed own such patent; it is valid in jurisdictions where JPM wants to use their crypto thingy; he has the resources to prosecute and defend that patent against that infringement; he prevails; JPM offers gigabucks, and; CSW thumbs his nose at JPM's offer, leaving them with no recourse other than to build their thingy atop some bitcoin.... Would you still call him a loser?

I would suggest that 90% of the nocoiners do not know about bitcoin or they are superficially informed about it (which is the same as not knowing).
Most of nocoiners believe they already missed the train and it is irrational to enter now. (just like they thought in 2015 and 2013.) I agree with you that the nocoiners who know about bitcoin will frequently erroneously conclude that they already missed the boat. I would also suggest that the category of nocoiner is much broader than those who are kind of aware of bitcoin. In other words, no coiners are likely normal people, and only a few of them are nutjob advocates against bitcoin. They are obsessed with gold and silver.
I agree that those peeps happen to be vocal anti-bitcoin, but they hardly represent the world population nor the world of nocoiners more broadly who likely have little to no clue about what the fuck bitcoin is, even if they may have heard the word, "bitcoin." Sometimes I really suspect that they are the people that Anunnaki cursed with searching gold forever. I can't find any explanation to their obsession. don't let the vocal nutjobs deceive you to believe that they represent the world of nocoiners.. who are mostly a lot less vocal than the dying breed of PM bugs. It is fine to own %5-10 gold but even if gold succeeds, I mean how much can it go? $5k? And if gold ever hits $5k,
I would say 5% on the high side.. You are giving way too much benefit of the doubt to gold.. perhaps 1% would be more prudent, especially like I already mentioned if you own BTC. what usability does it offer? I'll tell you, It has none. None in this digital age. It is not mobile, it can be counterfeited, it is physical (means can be stolen and you need physical space to store them) etc...
Gold is done.
I think we agree on this point... and that is part of my reason to suggest 5% might be on the high side and even a bit overkill in terms of how much value to keep in that asset. Sure it will always have some value but we will never go back to the medieval ages...
Agree again. Unless a world war comes up ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) , and even so, gold's chances of being the world currency is zero. That's because the internet will always be around. Either WWIII happens or not. Yes, there is a bit of a small chance for pms to have value in apocalypse scenarios that have less than a 1% chance of happening... which their less than 1% chance of happening sort of justifies that you hold less than 1% of your value in preparation for such unlikely scenario...

The ICO market has lost ground, but has not died. In general, the amounts of fees due to the initial placement of tokens look like this. The record still belongs to June 2018 - then the projects received $ 5.8 billion. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FFHBpdg9%2F11111.jpg&t=665&c=qUGA8CFia5OYEg)

Fucking hell, CW is a total & utter loser. Just for the sake of argument, assuming that: CSW does indeed own such patent; it is valid in jurisdictions where JPM wants to use their crypto thingy; he has the resources to prosecute and defend that patent against that infringement; he prevails; JPM offers gigabucks, and; CSW thumbs his nose at JPM's offer, leaving them with no recourse other than to build their thingy atop some bitcoin.... Would you still call him a loser? Aren't patent trolls "losers," even if they make money? By the way, didn't you get the memo, jbreher, that there is a certain level of justified hostility against the use of patents in the open source community underlying the "real" bitcoin.. (just to be clear, the real bitcoin is just called bitcoin, it does not have any other name appended to it nor does it need such appendage of another word).

Blacks commit about six times as much violent crime as whites. Yes this is adjusted for income. Asians are less criminal than whites.
