announcement: the international "when-bitcoin-reaches 1000,- $ party"

[DavidBAL]

. Nobody is questioning the viability of having a 1000-people party with $1 Million budget!! I mean, wtf, a few months ago I did not even dream of this and still got ridiculed.

I am so much in.

I sprayed my coffee all over my lap LOL'ing, to be honest I still don't know who of you are homeless and who is 13 training on the school library's computer.  

Hey at a $1000 a bitcoin, even the homeless and 13 year olds will be flying first class to Germany for the party.

Please count on me ...

I vote for Berlin because its the city with the most Bitcoin businesses in Germany for now

What about a questionaire for the vote ??

[ninjarobot]

If Bitcoin reaches $1000 it won't be time for a party, but for a funeral.

A funeral for fiat.

[ralree]

$200 in China a few minutes ago.

$1000 here we come!

[molecular]

Maybe we can have one in Asia, one in Europe and one in America?

You;re discriminating against all the upside-down people below the equator :p

America includes South America. Africa and India have too low Bitcoin density so I didn't list them (doesn't mean they can't have a party). And yes, you're right, I'm discriminating against some dudes down under which I shouldn't do. I apologize.

Maybe they aren't upside down after all, but the ones on the northern hemisphere are?!? It all depends how you hold the camera.

Should we invite the elephant and the turtles, btw?

welcome caveden, Valerian77, ninjarobot, & ralree


@ninjarobot: bring the fiat coffin then...
@ralree: it´s only 5 -fold now. a small step for bitcoin, but a giant leap for our party ...

[smoothie]

i think it is time for the following announcement:

should bitcoin ever reach 1000,- $ it is time for an international, mind-blowing, monomentous, crazy PARTY of members of the bitcoin forum. it will take place in one of the banking highrises in frankfurt/germany and it will be huge, wild and unforgettable. we all work "very hard" while probably getting rich, or at least dreaming about it. after all this "hard work" we need some "hard" partying. the bankers need to get used to the fact that we are dancing on their roofs!

-when it reaches 1000,- $ it will only cost a bitcoin or two for anyone to pay a flight to frankfurt.

-it is time for getting to know each other in person.

-meet forum heros like smoothie, proudhon, vladimir...

-bulls and bears welcome

-some say bitcoin owners will be the new money elite- by then it is time to start behaving accordingly

edit: everyone is welcome. let´s just have a single list.

this thread is a flytrap. you post here and you will be listed.

I didn't even know I was coming.

If Bitcoin hits $1,000 I will be there.

There are only so many bitcoins...

In 2010, you could effortlessly buy BTC10,000. But only 2100 people will be able to hold it.
In 2011-2012, you could buy BTC1,000. But only 21,000 people will be able to.
In 2013, most can buy BTC100. Still, that is only 210,000 people.

There are more than a million bitcoin users now, so obviously most hold less than BTC100.

Once the bitcoin userbase grows to one billion, only 21 million at most can hold even a single bitcoin. It does not take a scientist to see that BTC1 is very valuable, and a stash of BTC100 bought in 2013 is immensely valuable.

More statistics of bitcoin ownership. Warning: simple math and advanced logic.

Situation now:

#People	#Bitcoins	#TotalBitcoins
100	BTC10k+	5.5M
900	BTC1k-10k	2.9M
5000	BTC100-1k	1.6M
31k	BTC10-100	1.0M
167k	BTC1-10	0.5M
1M	BTC0.1-1	0.3M
3M	BTC0-0.1	0.0M

Total: 11.8M bitcoins, 4.2M owners

Situation later:

#People	#Bitcoins	#TotalBitcoins
63	BTC10k+	3M
1000	BTC1k-10k	3M
10k	BTC100-1k	3M
100k	BTC10-100	3M
1M	BTC1-10	3M
10M	BTC0.1-1	3M
600M	BTC0-0.1	3M

Total: 21M bitcoins, 611M owners


Of course the numbers in ownership brackets can be off by a factor of 2, but it is mathematically impossible for them to be off by a factor of 10! Therefore we conclude that by buying and holding BTC1, you are forever guaranteed to be among the top 1 million bitcoin owners, regardless of how cheap you managed to buy it, or how valuable it gets in the nearest years.

Iirc, it takes $10M+ to get to the top 1 million in dollar wealth, so we are talking about royal money.

There are definitely 13 year olds with BTC100 or more. Since there are about 6,000 people with BTC100. I would be more wary for 17-year olds who were 13 at the time when coins could be mined 500 per day

dear smoothie,
at the beginning a had a list of celebrity forum members that we needed to invite.

& welcome  

if you/others know members that we need to have at the party - let me know!

hi guys, what is your level?

[rpietila]

@rpietila: thanks for sharing this

A "bit" off topic, forgive me for that.. But it is important info for megaparty organizer. If 1000 bitcoin richest will attend, and each pays BTC1, you will have $1M to spend. But what goes unnoticed is that according to the above info, the 1000 people will each have BTC1000, and be already quite rich even in dollar terms ($1M per person, minimum), and likely to want quality this and that.

Also the conference security needs to be in top shape. The participants have a combined net worth in $billions, which is 50% of all bitcoins. Germany has a rather dull image, but is pretty much the place where you can count on the backend to be organized properly

[The-Real-Link]

Might need to be more than $1K per but a party?   Sure I'm down.  Will just have to time my vacation out that way around the same time.

[rpietila]

I propose that single men pay double. Ladies are free. This encourages a more balanced gender distribution.

Edit: There is always room to put it nicer.

Duisburg is just 2 hours away, so no need to worry about that. I'm passing that on my way to Frankfurt, so i'll load my bus there.

You forgot to add me to your list of shiny named celebrity members.

Then I propose to make the party in Bangkok instead of Berlin. I would organize the rest.

welcome viboracecata and The-Real-Link. special hardcore welcome b!z

@molecular: yes, invide 'em all
@rpietila: gender distribution is an important issue. guess we need a "ladies-only live-btc-fountain" that night..

[ffssixtynine]

Berlin. Massive party but also donations accepted in bitcoin for a charity or charities that accepts them. Not just a woohoo we have a few bucks party.
