bitcoin = the future?
 

anyone following the whole bitcoin hype?
any specualtions on how it could/will change stuff?

ItalkCASH -> Bitcoin

read http://www.quora.com/Is-the-cryptocu...in-a-good-idea

No,it's a joke.

it's an interesting idea.. can't see it ending well if it does start taking off

not future

I see a bunch of people losing a bunch of money.

Then there should be someone finding it ;)

read the article i posted. pretty obvious who is going to "find" it.

I seriously doubt it...

open to competition = no value in the mined material

bitcoin.org is a weak domain, so I give it about 4% chance of becoming the new world currency, it does have a headstart.

The peer to peer is not required though, eGold.com is my bet.

Just need a few independant mirrors at eGold1.com eGold2.com ...

You can just EMAIL a token to each other.

1 EGOLD = 0000000001000000000-439857349857348957934543785346852879

---------------------^value------------------^private key

my slogan - IF YOU CAN SEND A 100 DIGIT NUMBER TO SOMEONE, YOU CAN SEND THEM eGOLD!

decentralized, non inflationary (no unlimited supply), encrypted

would be perfect for adult industry: cheap transactions and no charge-backs

cons: volatile, no corporate/enterprise solutions yet.

It will work by the few people that use it for good until they get scammed.

this never happens with any other currency

How can we get our coins anyway?

why dont we use a gold standard and go from there? Adult Gold Cash.

It has about as much chance of becoming the future as WOW gold does...

and mining is prone to botnets, large webhosting co.

don't listen that "botnets actually make it stronger by more mining"

it makes the single PC miner's coins weaker, by 1,000,000:1

-------

eGold.com (if I get it) will have mining permits for $1 per CC for verification

and a 5MZ PC will make $1 eGold every minute, probably for the first year.

but just to trade won't require membership, it's just a token currency

1 EGOLD = 0000000001000000000-439857349857348957934543785346852879

1 egold! too easy! just take it to eGold.com to 'cash in'.

Musical Chairs
 

Still kicking myself for not buying some, but I know my bad luck. This game of musical chairs would fold before I sell.
This is nothing more than a game of Pump & Dump Stock. It just lasts longer.
Can you say Tulip Bulbs???
Tell you what, sign the bills of sale across my back for a small tip. (The hunchback that did that for Tulip Bulb transactions was the only person left with money after the crash).

I'll sell you some now for $15USD a piece... :winkwink:

if the future is bizarro land :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

A year or so
 

In a year or two, you'll be begging for $.15

I have 18,000 shares of Enron I'd love to sell for just the $.07 a share I paid.

I think Bitcoin will have a good future unlike the dollar.

The fact that Bitcoins cant be made without mining with CPU-power make it pretty safe for inflation.
People have been using Liberty Reserve for a very long time and it seems to work fine.
Bitcoins popularity have just started to grow as you can see here: http://www.google.com/trends?q=bitcoin
I'm sure we'll see a lot more of it in the future when more people see it's advantages over other ecurrency.

interesting note from one of the developers about anonymity and bitcoin.

The current issue of 2600 has an article on anonymous payments. Pretty good read to see who the current players are.
