Strange as it may seem ... well yes, they are making more land ... 657 new Islands to be exact .... If they are in International waters then they are free game ... but be quick. http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20110419/sc_livescience/657newislandsdiscoveredworldwide Here's something you don't see every day — hundreds of new islands have been discovered around the world. The Earth has 657 more barrier islands than previously thought, according to a new global survey by researchers from Duke University and Meredith College in Raleigh, N.C. The researchers identified a total of 2,149 barrier islands worldwide using satellite images, topographical maps and navigational charts. The new total is significantly higher than the 1,492 islands identified in a 2001 survey conducted without the aid of publicly available satellite imagery. |

Spend my state sponsored currency as needed to survive. Find volunteer projects to help with. Buy things with BTC only if I need to, and wait for the price of BTC to reach 100+K.

Hookers and blow, anyone?
Haha, blow ain't my thing but hookers, weed and acid would be nice  But first of all I would do my best to become self-sufficient, so I won't have to worry about money that much in the future. |

+1 Hookers and blow What about slaves and blow? But in all seriousness, I'm ditching my body and becoming a robot. I'll have to wait for $100K/BTC for that though. |

First I'd slap myself for the hundreds (nearly thousands) of coins I sold for less than $5. Then I'd shrug it off and hope my mining pool can generate $1000/day in donations, transaction fees, and rounding . |

Anybody in their right mind would buy at that price as bitcoins are actually worth infinity dollars. You can thank me later for saving you a fortune. |

I have a background in trading speculative stocks, and I can tell you that this kind of speculative price explosion usually collapses back to nearly nothing eventually (thanks Timothy Sykes).
However, I have my own reasons for believing that bitcoins won't collapse, and may in fact reach the astronomical values people are dreaming about. I'm keeping those reasons to myself for now until I get a chance to gather more bitcoins.
$1000/bitcoin won't make me filthy rich, but I might be rich enough to quit my day job and devote the rest of my life to ministry, raising my kids (and maybe foster kids?), and developing bitcoin-powered websites.
I'm going to step out on a limb and make some predictions about bitcoin price increases:
1) A lot of kids with graphics cards are going to get a LOT of spending money just because they saved the few bitcoins they mined after reading about it in a forum somewhere
2) The term "bitcoin billionaire" is going to become somewhat commonplace, and will refer to someone who became a billionaire through bitcoin investment.
3) The world's first trillionaire (by USD valuation) will be one of the first big investors in bitcoins.
4) This will all happen WITHOUT the collapse of the US dollar, and without bitcoins becoming a commonplace way to pay at the grocery store.
I guess we'll see if I'm right.
Note for posterity: current bitcoin price is in the $5-$6 range after a big run-up.

That's sounds filthy enough.  |
Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.

I'm guessing you think that Bitcoins could become the next defacto international reserve or common trade currency. I think that the quantum leap in transaction costs versus current systems is so dramatic that most fiat currencies might not even have a reason to exist. In which case, the US FRN, the Euro, the Pound, etc don't collapse so much as fade away. |
"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."
- Carroll Quigley, CFR member, mentor to Bill Clinton, from 'Tragedy And Hope'
