90% of the worlds energy is used to mine Bitcoin and it ends up destroying us as we start over in the dark ages again.

or bitcoin is long forgotten and grand children come to see their delusional grandpas in the mad asylum ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) You mean youre going to live to 130?, sorry to rain on parade but everyone alive today will be long dead in 2140. you've been to 2140 have you? ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) You're saying it's likely that people will live to at least 130 years by 2140? no, what i was implying was that it is not unlikely. the amount of problems humans have fixed in the past 20 years is absolutely insane, how could you possible predict what problems we would have fixed in over 120.

When 21M Bitcoins are mined. Our (grand)children are among the richest people on the planet.

127 years later? We'd be dead. Even with biological/medical advancements I doubt people here would live to 145+. Average life expectancy at the moment is <80 years.

Parazyd no doubt in the bright future of bitcoins. For sure are grandchildren shall be richest if today we start accumulating bitcoins. In past decade gold made people rich but now finally gold has felt hence it’s time for bitcoin to rally not just for 13 years but much more then that so get ready for a ride.

http://www.theguardian.com/science/2013/dec/20/anti-ageing-human-trialsThe way I see it is that governments, with all their regluations, patenting, and monopolies on things like medicine, are holding back science like this incredibly. The news above in a stateless society would be cause for excitement; we'd finally defeat aging, (not just mortality, but the act of growing old itself!) Hooray! Sadly, I know in this government-haunted world, we are not going to be allowed to access this kind of tech. It's for our masters, not for us. How do I know this? Because I've seen stories exactly like this one put out on a daily basis since the 1970s, when I started reading, that's why. There are always, always, always 100 breakthroughs a day that are not allowed to be realized... I remember people driving all-electric cars made by GM back in the 1980s... Which got completely recalled and scrapped months later. Fuel cells, high-efficiency solar, life-extending tech, cancer cures, it's all been solved a hundred times before but each time it gets suppressed. We're simply not allowed to have any of the good tech, fellow peons. I'm counting on the bitcoin economy to change this dynamic. If we grow the bitcoin economy to become dominant, then our masters won't have the power anymore to suppress anything. We'll finally be able to protect good tech from suppression, and long, youthful life will certainly be a part of that reward. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m99tUiSl374

Why are "the masters" suppressing all this? don't they want the cure for cancer and long life? And electric cars have been available for quite some time where I live, in fact the neighbor country to the west, Norway, have the most electric cars per capita in the world if I am not mistaken.

Why are "the masters" suppressing all this? don't they want the cure for cancer and long life? Who said they didn't get it? Also, I don't mean that it's always someone's will to have supressed it... Watch the video I linked to; there are many ways that good things get supressed just because that's the nature of society. And electric cars have been available for quite some time where I live, in fact the neighbor country to the west, Norway, have the most electric cars per capita in the world if I am not mistaken. I included that example because it was proof that something possible was supressed. Other than the GM EV-1, despite a huge outcry by environmentalists and techies for decades, you basically couldn't buy an all-electric car until the year 2010 or so. -Despite electric cars being mass produced BEFORE the ford Model-T was over a hundred years ago.

I don't think they got it because they too get cancer and don't get any older than the rest of us. And what you say about electric cars may be true in the USA, but you can't project that on the rest of the world. However I also believe that the automotive industry is in cahoots with the oil industry and that's why we don't see more electric cars than we do. But to be honest, the range of an electric car is a lot less than that of an otto or diesel engine car. Thats why I think the new BMW i3 with its range extended model with a tiny 647cc petrol generator is going to be a hit. http://www.techradar.com/news/car-tech/why-the-bmw-i3-is-the-best-electric-car-on-the-planet-1200923#null

Supporting my high hopes is the fact that the US Government pulled the funding on this research project. Google Ventures stepped right in to keep the project funded.

I don't think they got it because they too get cancer and don't get any older than the rest of us. 1. If they looked younger too, then it would be a simple matter of editing some dates on some paper somewhere. 2. Either way, they can just stay hidden and not tell anyone who they are... Hard if you're a peon, but very easy for a billionaire. And what you say about electric cars may be true in the USA, but you can't project that on the rest of the world. Europe had electric cars back before Ford popularized ICEs too. Like you said, the oil industry had a hand here, it wasn't just one government obviously. But to be honest, the range of an electric car is a lot less than that of an otto or diesel engine car. Could you imagine if electric car technology was never suppressed? If they'd have been researching more range for the last 100 years nonstop?
