Well, I have a real job, along with the usual bank and cards. I don't speculate on money markets. Nor do I want to pay an assassin to off someone through the TOR network's version of Craigslist. I'm not currently importing opium, sex slaves or uranium. I don't plan on building a hideout in a inactive volcano.

Why would I bother with bitcoin at all now the easy time to mine them has long passed?

Said one of them.
I thought it will be interesting for the people here to see some quite alternative (to us) points of view.


here is the full thread with the poll

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

Couldn't agree more. IMHO, the nature of the coin is just perfect Cheesy

On the "less than 7% gamblers have gambled bitcoin," I think this is still very acceptable. CMIIW, but world's bitcoin penetration even still below 1% (http://thegenesisblock.com/mapping-bitcoin-adoption-a-global-perspective/).

Very interesting analysis
so in the developed countries adoption have been 0.5% a year ago.
And thats just the bitcoin-qt downloads. When we add the web wallets and the others I think it's safe to tripple that. So, we've got 1.5% one year ago, won't be surprise if it doubled since than to 3%.
That's percent just for the developed countries though. Worldwide would be much less.
Still higher than I thought Smiley
