Interesting quote,"I think Bitcoin is Rat Poison".
I agree. The banks are the Rats.

Does Bill Gates owns some bitcoins? I don't know about Bill but that guy Charlie Munger certainly doesn't

For those not familiar with the term
tour de force [toor duh fawrs, -fohrs; French toor duh fawrs] Show IPA noun, plural tours de force [toorz duh fawrs, -fohrs; French toor duh fawrs] Show IPA . 1. an exceptional achievement by an artist, author, or the like, that is unlikely to be equaled by that person or anyone else; stroke of genius: Herman Melville's Moby Dick was a tour de force. 2. a particularly adroit maneuver or technique in handling a difficult situation: The way the president got his bill through the Senate was a tour de force. 3. a feat requiring unusual strength, skill, or ingenuity.
That's a pretty bold statement from Bill F'ing Gates

I thought Gates came off as quite complimentary with that little statement. Pretty cool.
Edit: Shit! For some reason I thought this thread was only in "Economics" and not the spec forum. I'm outta here.

Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.

That was painful to watch. How many times has the bloke in the middle flatlined in the past year do you think?
Dinosaurs. If you've made billions on the old, corrupt financial system, why would you have anything positive to say about this "new-fangled internet money"?
Bill Gates looks (and talks) like a sprightly teenager amongst that lot!

Bwahahaha! Mungers response is maybe the best endorsement of Bitcoin I have seen this year. Gates is playing it pretty smart, he clearly recognizes the potential but does not want to make any definitive statements that he may regret someday (his 640k comment will haunt him to his death), and it does not serve him to either endorse or criticize Bitcoin.

I'm sure he's pushing MS to get their own altcoin out there. Given their penchant for ambiguous names that co-opt standard definitions, they'll probably name it something like MSbitcoin, bitcoin.dollars, or MSBucks.

Sam Spade: We were talking about a lot more money than this. Kasper Gutman: Yes, sir, we were, but this is genuine coin of the realm. With a dollar of this, you can buy ten dollars of talk.

Bill Gates will convert 50% of his wealth into bitcoins soon. What price should we expect?

That's very interesting indeed! Love it what Bill Gates said It was also my first reaction 'governments will never allow this'. But here too we must go with the facts. Governments are up until now allowing it, and as long as they do, it will grow rapidly and will change the world. (no this is not bull talk! I'm still short term bearish;) )

Not really that strange, they were both geeks, and they both offered compliments as geeks, it goes like " Very 1337 Satoshi, it's one great system you have designed."
