There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

Same, but he really seems like a smart guy and is a bit of a renegade. Read this great article for a bit more insight on him: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=459203.0

+1.  QFT.

If the "market cap" remains around $10 billion, bitcoin will not have succeeded. Back when the "market cap" was "only" in the tens of millions, people were saying the same thing.  Thinking it could go to $100 million seemed like a fantasy.  :-)

Either bitcoin will continue to grow tremendously from here or it will fail.

Wow  Shocked

He said this:

“I don’t think we ever got out of the recession. We’ve been reinflating the bubble and calling it recovery.”

I've been thinking that since about 2010  Cheesy

Never heard anyone say this in a public forum!!!!!

He's smarter than I gave him credit for  Cheesy 

We do need more folks like him...not just in Bitcoin,but in politics!!!!!!!  Cool

If Overstock decides to sell their Overstock of BTC, then we have a problem.
Glad to see he is sold on keeping BTC as a long-term investment.

Overstock is not holding BTC, he personally does. Someone selling a few million dollars worth of BTC does not mean "we have a problem".
