my agenda: i believe that sound money is important to make this world a better place for everybody.
my definition of sound money: - fixed supply / rules known by all participants - no interest - small or no inflation - unregulated cheap transactions around the world to anyone - fungibility (i think(!) this goes hand-in-hand with anonymity - but mixers seem to work well enough) - anonymous - everybody can participate - trustless (means: i only need to trust mathematics and nothing else)
^ that is what get me to btc in the first place and i still believe in it.
what's your agenda? why are you here?

An agenda tells me that you actually are in a position to make the decision and out come of something where others and yourself are discussing the future of said something, we have no sway on what happens i am afraid so therefor we cannot have an agenda as far as i know. You make a list of why you joined bitcoin and it is a cool and honest list You ask a legit question at the end. Why am i here, i am here because this opportunity is here i mean i dislike everything about the banks and their monopoly/control they have over average joe, so in short i am here to take this chance at becoming my own bank for myself and my family with a chance of financial freedom..

it seems you are in the same boat as me if only person wants to be his own bank: it cant work. but bitcoin gives this power to many people.

I am sure most of us are here for this reason, we obviously have the guys that just want to make money and hold no ideals but i believe the vast majority are here for similar reasons to us which is really good. There is a hiccup though us guys are not long term traders and we do not like losing value so we need to adapt to not caring for the value of the coin because if we can't adapt we end up angry with the coin and forget the amazing opportunity it gives us, and this will all because of manipulators who care not of the benefits but just the money it can make them. Lets go sailing my friend

You would say I am lying if I told you I was here from the start just because I like the technology behind Bitcoin

why should i? the tech caught my first... it took a few months to realize the consequences. since then i love the tech and the potential consequences for society (though the latter is more important to me). but... the tech gets slowly boring as i understand more and more of it... the current fork discussion is sth interesting again

I am here mainly because of the knowledge that I may gain. As I seek for knowledge, I've learned to embrace the different aspects that bitcoin offers: anonymity, low fees, freedom from financial institutions and a lot more.

Bitcoin is neither fungible, nor anonymous, so I suggest you keep looking.

People aren't accustomed on using tech to pay for everything they need. Give bitcoin some time and we'll soon get to it.

Im here to make as much Bitcoin as possible hoping that the price stays low as long as possible.

I am here because Bitcoin is an exciting free market project, "the money part" is just an added bonus.

Simple, i want to make more money. BTC is a traders best friend with the high volatility. Holding for the big gains once every few years is not that tempting. Considerably more profit can be had by simply trading conservatively.

I am not actually to far from you lol and you may well get a pm from me in the summer

"i only need to trust mathematics"
Gold standard is the wrong mathematics. The right mathematics is: Big velocity of money=less money supply, small velocity of money=more money supply.

For me, what is important is preservation of value. It's not the ideal thing for fiat because the number of items I can buy with the fiat I have today will not get me the same few years down the road. No thanks to how central banks can actually manipulate the system and work their way out with printing more money. The fixed supply of bitcoin is what I like the most.

The most important thing in an economy, is the velocity of money, so, an automatic fiat system, without human intervention, is very good idea.
