1 BTC? 1000$? For one day? [You didn't write anywhere how many days the event will take, so I assume it'll be one day] In Poland I can live off that sum for three months. 1 BTC is not a play-money for me. Since I won't be a millionaire by 1000$, it's too big of a sum to loose in a single day. Count me out. My frugality says " not yet". However if there will be another party at 10k$ priced at 0.2 BTC, count me in! I don't think you're looking at this the right way. You could set aside the 1 XBT for the ticket today. Your out-of-pocket expense is then about $202 or whatever the current price is*. This could be a once-in-a-lifetime rager experience. Taking part in the most memorable party ever for $202 seems like a reasonable value to me. *I set my 2 XBT aside before the recent runup in price (2 'cause I'd bring a guest). You're right - it is not chump change, but I think it could end up being a significant value. If a more value-minded subset materializes, you could certainly organize your own downscale version of the same event. Maybe we could have several geographically dispersed, and link them together via video. I'd still want to go to the Big Show, though - and I am even usually quite frugal. |

“I would not see why we at Swift could not send transactions in bitcoin as a currency.” - SWIFT CEO Gottfried Leibbrandt, 2013 Sep 16 ps: please enlighten me about your sig. what is he talking about ?? He talks about SWIFT. And since he seems to be a pure management guy he does not understand that SWIFT may be able to transport account and money transfer information - but all that will not be necessary anymore with Bitcoin because Bitcoin can be transferred seamless without SWIFT more easily  |

Let's go! It will be very different from the Helsinki meeting, but I'm sure it will be just as cherished an experience. |
