"Using Bitcoin does to the big banks what e-mail does to the Postal Service."

http://m.ibtimes.com/u-s-postal-service-first-class-mail-donahoe-congress-214545.html

"We simply need fewer facilities to process less mail," Megan Brennan, said chief operating officer of the Postal Service.
 
The postal service has experienced fast decline in First Class mail due to the Internet, as more people use e-mail and online bill pay instead. In the last five years, for example, First Class mail volume has dropped 25 percent. Single-piece first class mail -- letters and such sent with a stamp -- has declined 50 percent in the past decade.

I seem to encounter a lot of really profoundly nontechnical people (which is odd, since I live in the Bay area and am a professional geek but I just don't cultivate a ton of geek social connections for whatever reason). I tell lay people:

"these days the biggest supercomputer in the world is Bitcoin"

whenever I do this I always feel guilty for not saying

"these days the distributed computer system with the most processing power is Bitcoin."

but if I said that they would hear: (in a nasal, condescending tone)

"it's common knowledge that today the most powerful discombobulated hyper-processing aparatus in terms of decagigadefenestrations is, of course, the P9783.419 Microsupergigaperambulator which as everybody knows is being offered by Confusosoft as a metahypomux of the ultracombowhatsit.'"

Don't know about the "average person", but "work" is a physics term that measures energy consumed in Joules. One Joule is equal to a watt.second. Finding the "magic number" proves that on average, you expended a certain ammount of energy (given reasonable assumptions about your mining setup).

So I used this one line twice today not because I was planning on it but it just came out of my mouth.  It was VERY effective.  I had a whole conversation about 5 min with one person.  For the second person they asked for more information and I gave them three websites which I wrote down on a receipt for him.  The second person was a cashier and he saw my "bitbill".  I started explaining to him and what hooked him in was this line:

"Bitcoin is going to end all wars."

Yep, I know it's a shocker line but I believe in it and it just makes people curious about what it was.  Once he was hooked the final push was me mentioning how "bitcoin is controlled by the power of mathematics."

My one liner...



The line being the price chart one that goes from Christmas & New Years 2011 when I reminded my good friends that I celebrated it with that the coins I'd bought the month before at under $3 were already showing a healthy profit & that they should get in to some, same friends that I recommended gold to in March 2007 when it was $666 per Oz & they said Oh No,no,no - by then it had made about 300% in under 4 years - anyway they've had updates when bitcoin doubled to $6, then redoubled to $12, yet again to $24 & recently to $48 plus & they still haven't been persuaded that it is even worth a look at, other friends I've also tried to interest have been equally unreceptive, one of the more investment minded & entrepreneurial I printed out this chart when visiting for lunch recently highlighting 2012 summer's $6 price when I emailed him re looking in to this & the price when we met up last month, $24 = a fourfold increase, he did start to pay some attention & said he'd get back to me - expect that he may be a little shocked that $24 is ancient history now already.

This is how I was assuming Bitcoin still worked. Moving forward we have to be careful as even the tiniest fees can be debilitating to those processing a large volume of micro-transactions.

Ok, more informative guys please correct me if I got this wrong. If you go to any "new" transaction on blockchain.info you will see an estimation for the first confirmation. The position in the queue to be confirmed is determined (or estimated) by how big the transaction is (Size wise and not amount wise). considering how large the fees included are, plus both how old is this transaction and how much the included fees are.

This means even though a transaction was made before another, The older transaction might be pushed back in the queue because it has no fees included or low fees. This queuing mechanism is not infinite and on the times where alot of people are making transactions a no fee transaction might take a very long time and sometimes (Yes it happened alot and to me personally a few times) this transaction might not happen at ALL, Especially if that transaction was big (Size wise and not amount wise).

The day where you simply cannot make a free transaction or a very low fee transaction is getting closer and closer but really don't sweat it Bitcoin is still light years away from being "Expensive" way to send money. (Please don't start the micro transaction cost guys, That is a VERY different story).

I hope this shed some light and please tell me if I am mistaken about something.

[PeptoMax]

Bitcoin: You can’t counterfeit the Bit; you don’t want to deal with common capers and the lawless. Don’t throw a fit, Obama just wants a peek inside your paper wallets. No one need fear, because Satoshi is here! Oh Nakamoto, you’re quite the hero. Mark Karpelès walked around downtown Tokyo[Toe-Key—OH-O]. What did he hope to find, what did he hope to find, while searching around outside? He walked over to ol’ Mt. Gox and pocketed 850,000 crypto-coins… B-I-T-C-OIN, B-I-T-C-OIN.

AND BITCOIN WAS ITS NAME-O.

But that’s not the end of our story, nope, not today, no. What happened to our old friend Mark Karpelès? Oh…

Mark Karpelès! Watch as he plays a game called “How To Snare a Bitmillionaire.” Yet from here, he declares and swears, that he was merely caught unawares, of just what was going on downstairs, to his wares. No, he was too busy pocketing his shares. Mt. Gox is worse than all the cartels—thanks a lot, Markie Mark. Ready your prayers and your affairs, Mister Mark Karpelès, because I’m meeting you at the thoroughfares, while I'm out there. I set off the flares; make sure your glares aren’t causing you to become even more impaired.

So, he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the fares, ye root up also the bears. Say your farewells, Mr. Mark Karpelès. You attempted repairs, and we watch while you blunder alone at home. Oh, but he yells and despairs as he's taken from there, “No! Not without my waifu’s underwear!” Anne Frankly while I did Nazi this coming, it has nonetheless brought tears to my eyes, regardless. Though many decide to acquiesce his largesse, despite the mess and less success—unless his waifu's caress makes one reassess and egress—Karpelès would repress to guess, unless success chose to transgress… he'd dress himself in none but the best and most obviously fresh, suggests his pretty pockets are filled with a certain address, loaded with all his assets, while his confidants try to annex the press. Indeed, oh yes. And to concluded this hairy-tale, as a lone sacrificial lamb of Mark's once said… “You just got Mt. Goxed, my friend.”

*** note, i had posted this as another thread but now believe it's better to post here.

I like to try to bring a smile to the face of the people with whom I am attempting to influence and I often struggle at doing so. However, there's this great tool called Open Source where the community gets together to accomplish amazing things so with that in mind... post your replies to critics and let the community have a go at building upon your witty retorts:

The three gigantic bubbles, hacks, frauds, opposition of governments, etc that you mentioned- in what time period did that happen? Two years?
Less?
Your "currency", backed by the bright eyed myopia of naiveté, is unstable and doomed to failure.
The rest of us are watching a train wreck in slow motion, but we're normally used to doing it AFTER THE FACT. That's what makes this whole thing so fascinating-- you're still selling tickets for a ride.

***[–]ponziunit 1 punto 2 minutes ago
Personally, I will welcome you when you realize that the apparent train wreck is nothing more than the bitcoin locomotive clearing the tracks with the cowcatcher and that your viewpoint is that of a friend of the herd of corruption witnessing, yet not fully understanding the chaotic sight as an honest accounting plows through fakery and deceit. You will awake from this nightmare, and let me be the first to call out - Aaaaaaaaaaall abooooooard! Peace Train!

So Jesse Eisinger a Pulitzer-winning financial reporter and I'm not going to remain silent while he tries to crack jokes about my recently adopted "lifes biggest dream" am I? Anyway, if you believe my reply was witty enough pop over to reddit and give me an upvote please. Criticism welcomed (there's always an edit button).

Also, please share your favorite bitcoin fanatic saying in this thread for collaboration and critique Smiley

*** note about my reddit /handle PonziUnit - consider the 'ponzi unit' as the most speculative debtor, borrowing against price appreciation and who suddenly loses everything when price appreciation no longer covers interest on debts - the first domino of the collapse in other words. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyman_Minsky

Q: "bitcoin is used by hackers"
A: "well if hackers can't break the code and thus they trust it... shouldnt you also realise the security of bitcoin value is impressive"

Q: "who is the bitcoin creator and why cant we speak to him directly today"
A: "who invented paper money and why cant you speak to him today. in both cases it does not matter you can easily see the history and research and speak to any current value producers. the inventor is just a name in history"

Thanks! The hackers response I've been using. I had my own twist on it, 'bitcoin was forged in the foundry of hackers, scoundrels and idealists'. I'm borrowing that inventor of money reply.

I like using sex as my analogy of choice. Remember how scary the first time was? But would you ever go back to only masturbation?

Crypto is to fiat what sex is to masturbation: better in every conceivable way.

Hell, remember the first time you masturbated and then wondered what the hell just happened? Two to three days later you were at it again with the same results. After a couple more times, you had what was going on down to a science, so you hunted down the nearest goat. Okay, maybe, just maybe, it didn't take you as long as I, but surely a goat was in the equation. Wasn't it?

"Using Bitcoin does to the big banks what e-mail does to the Postal Service."

http://m.ibtimes.com/u-s-postal-service-first-class-mail-donahoe-congress-214545.html

"We simply need fewer facilities to process less mail," Megan Brennan, said chief operating officer of the Postal Service.
 
The postal service has experienced fast decline in First Class mail due to the Internet, as more people use e-mail and online bill pay instead. In the last five years, for example, First Class mail volume has dropped 25 percent. Single-piece first class mail -- letters and such sent with a stamp -- has declined 50 percent in the past decade.

How about:

  "Bitcoin:  Better odds than playing the lottery."

That's how I thought of it 5 years ago, and still do.  At least when I think of it in terms of it's potential to fatten my wallet.  I try (with limited success) to keep my various other philosophical musings isolated from this and from one another as appropriate.

[WhatTheGox]

How about... if we'd of all sunk our life savings into bitcoins back when OP posted this we'd all be millionaires.

Without the benefit of hindsight, would that be any smarter than sinking your life savings into bitcoin right now? Now that the gateways have been built, we're just a few soft forks away from global liberation.

Oh, I remember this thread. It's like a roll call of all the old time cheerleaders. The best part of this thread is it doesn't have any of the old timers that became scammers or went to prison. Edit: oops, I just saw Andrew Bitcoiner posted so never mind, there is a scammer.

Really? You're repeating the first answer to this thread.

Some things I've read too many times here:

We've reached the bottom, it won't go any lower.

If we were to calculate the gains of all the scammers and compared them to the gains of all the buy and holders there is no doubt that in the end, the buy and holders are way ahead.  I'm sure there's the outlying scammer who is also way out in front but I don't believe I'd trade my buy and hold position for having to look over my shoulder to see who's standing there with handcuffs every time I spend a satoshi.

cryptocurrency is new era for currency/financial

I think the more world ages will be more advanced technology where we are more interested in the speed and easiness than cryptcurrency gave us what we want.
