Next time that happens, I'll buy all your BTC @ $1/ea - PM me with details Is there anything that would make you lose faith?
The abolishment of the Federal Reserve and a return to a gold backed dollar. Anything else is a buying opportunity |

I have no faith in it to begin with.
I think it could still work as a currency, and I guess to an extent I'm grateful to the people investing in it for giving it an actual "value" people can put on it, but at the end of the day until a functioning economy is born from it that's any significant percentage of the amounts changing hands, it's all just meaningless.
As far as "faith" goes, "faith" to me implies the type of investor who thinks they can just grab a whole fuckton of them while they're cheap, and that they'll somehow magically gain value all on their own without anyone building anything from it. If you came to this conclusion on your own, you're a fool, and if you came to this conclusion because someone else implied it then you got swindled.

Nothing. Wait, the Rapture? Yes, the Rapture. I would be forced to put my faith elsewhere.

Bitcoin protocol failure. - Counterfeiting, double spending, bitcoin address match, or in another words - way to find right pairs to public key`s
That kind of stuff.

Actual bitcoin getting hacked without possibility of the hack being patch. Stuff like encryption or protocol problems that allows creating of free bitcoins or stealing other people's coins.

If no market for bitcoins develops, would you lose faith? Say the market for bitcoins continues to exist in its current state where there are limited products/services you can buy?

That would be a failure of the bitcoin movement to convince the general public, not a failure of bitcoin specifically. |

I think bitcoins represent a major turning point in economic development. If bitcoin fails it will be because humans are worthless, not because bitcoins are.

I agree with the first part; faith on my part will only exist when there is an actual economy that works in practice. Before then a number of occurences could happen that would render an actual working economy impossible, of which protocol failure and legal problems (which would target the exchanges) are two occurences that spring to mind. "The abolishment of the Federal Reserve and a return to a gold backed dollar" is a wet dream, but not even in a parallel universe is it a possibility. |
