Bitcoin price increases are just getting started

Wow. I just read this thread (because of your siggy).

Nice discussion. Wow, you sure "talk" a lot with your friend there. How fast do you type that your friend doesn't have time to respond to each "send" ?   lol

He was on a smartphone, and I was on a keyboard

Nice.  Not fair, but nice.

Post #1 has been updated to include a link to this thread which is my current best guess on how commodity speculation will happen using bitcoin: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=31032.0

I may have missed part of the conversation, but it seems like you guys are making this too complicated. All you need to use BTC to make stock trades (or any securities for that matter_) is a bank that accepts BTC, offers numbered accounts, and will let you trade securities on any exchange. Once the BTC are in the account, you're off to the races. You don't need to worry about counter-parties -- the BTC would be converted to the local currency, and then you go long or short at will.

I think the complicated part is do it without the need of that bank or any centralized third party.

Did everyone hop aboard the crazy train before it departed?!!?

I made an extra 0.1 BTC out of the whole craziness.  Ok.. so in USD terms I'm down - but I'm just after any little increase I can get in my share of the BTC pie.
Hey.. it's a trivial amount - but for me it was faster (though more stressful!) than mining that 0.1

I don't have the stomach for profiting on day trading I think. On the few occasions I feel confident enough in my predictions of a fall and get out of a few BTC .. I panic and get back in too soon.

impatiently waiting for billions of something to move into bitcoin

hahaha. Made me laugh because of the recognition of familiarity.

Bitcoin cleared $100 yesterday, and I'm reviving this thread in which in 2011 I predicted wild growth ahead before even the first bitcoin bubble. Note that the arguments in the OP are no less valid today!

[Wekkel]

If BTC retains its unique properties, $100 will only be a blimp on the historical radar.
