We want everyone in America to own bitcoin as they do dollars, so we're talking to people who don't own bitcoin now but want it. There are millions of people who read about this, think this is very innovative, but there's no one that holds their hand to help them do this.

Bitcoin is the first monetary system to credibly offer perfect information to all economic participants.

the day the EU market slips, there will be no mercy. robots just dont do mercy.

I think the bigger problem is now that every time the robots figure out that it is time the market crashed then the humans panic and turn the robots off, reset and claim 'fat finger' foul or otherwise ... and this gives rise to those crazy spikes and flash crashes, etc.

Then there are the robots doing the work for the Fed and Treasury (ESF) that are more like closed-loop control algorithms working large multi-variate arrays of pricing to 'stabilise' the whole system using cash as a control input, priming humans expectations of pricing and thus financial incentive structures ... which all seems to work fine on 'normal' days but start demanding massive cash inputs on panic days (like 'hey the system just disappeared $700 billion, how did that happen? start bailing and pumping or this thing is gonna lock up')

I have found a new hobby, I'm trying to mine Bitcoin on waste heat from a candle and another is to height water from the waste heat from mining.

But on the upside I see Bitcoin is coming into view of the public eye.

Google search terms for 2014 tell an interesting story.

    1. Tinder
    2. Neknominate
    3. Goat Simulator
    4. Ello
    5. Bitcoin
    6. Doge
    7. Pixelmon
    8. Vines
    9. Dogecoin
    10.Flipagram

First I spent a lot of time with blinkers on, apart from the goat simulator I was ignorant of every top search term except for the cryptos.

And gold, just didn't cut it again this year.

Thank me in Bits 12MwnzxtprG2mHm3rKdgi7NmJKCypsMMQw

+420 on the Dow.  wow, somebody's happy about something!

i'm staying clear of that thing.

Most people made a bundle from the Fortune 50 this year, including myself. Bitcoin was my worse performer, however I believe now is the absolutely best time to invest in crypto.  Bitcoin tends to dwell in the doldrums for a while, shaking people's beliefs and weeding out the weak, then skyrocket. 

yes, they are called cycles.  and the Dow and Bitcoin stand at opposite ends of their cycles.
Lol money is made last 1% of the cycle. It is lost 99% rest mostly... as i said so many times euphoria hadnt happened with dow and it is a long way up before the "cycle" is done.. better place to park money imo today

Perhaps, but it is way overdue for a correction. The herd is being led to a slaughter and it's going to be ugly.

You are either an idiot before the crash or after. Timing the crash is impossible. So the only thing left is to make a decent guess of the increase left in this bubble. I understand the danger of picking up nickels in front of a steam roller. Let me be the idiot before. I will remain stubborn longer than the market can stay irrational.

listening to johoe is inspiring.  but it appears to me that even if you're using a BIP32 wallet, you'll still be exposed to a hack from address reuse if you choose to accept multiple payments to a single address.  for instance, if you accept 5 payments of 1BTC each to a single address, you will create 5 UTXO's of 1BTC each.  if you then only spend 1BTC from that address, you will leave the other 4 UTXO's behind on that address which will force you to reuse that address later on when you decide to make another payment.  so in that sense, HD wallets (BIP32) are still exposed if you're not careful and don't always force all tx's to empty an address.  i understand that this is not directly related to the reuse of the r value that johoe talks about in this episode, but it's concerning to me nonetheless unless i have something wrong:

I thought that it was just a limited screw-up by blockchain.info. So the affair is growing bigger (?)

i didn't imply that it's growing bigger.  i'm just saying that it appears to me (and i could be wrong) that if, as a merchant, if you're accepting multiple payments for a monthly service to a single address even tho it's generated by an HD wallet, you may be setting yourself up for reuse of that address depending on how much you decide to spend from that address later on as in the example i gave above.  you never want to reuse an address given what has happened.

I'd be interested to know how real of a danger this is. You should bring it up in the johoe thread and let people have at it

Forgive my petulance and oft-times, I fear, ill-founded criticisms, and forgive me that I have, by this time, made your eyes and head ache with my long letter. But I cannot forgo hastily the pleasure and pride of thus conversing with you.
