BITCOIN IS AT $72.
I told you guys. I told you to buy in!
I didn't say mine, I didn't say beg, I said put down your worthless american dollars and BUY BITCOINS.
And if you listened, you're now fucking RICH.
If you didn't, it's NOT TOO LATE.
http://falkvinge.net/2013/03/06/the -target-value-for-bitcoin-is-not-so me-50-or-100-it-is-100000-to-100000 0/
Now this guy might be crazy, but he does have a point, doesn't he? I can easily imagine the value reaching at least $150 safely. $1000 is a bit.... Well, I like to be realistic.
Anyways, the more bitcoin you buy and the more people you tell, the more it's worth, so buy in EARLY and profit BIG.
Good luck.

It's not going to appreciate forever. You sound like the idiots that got their house appraised for $250,000 when it was worth $100,000 and then were fucking floored when the market fixed itself. Yes, some of you have made money, that doesn't mean that it will crash and there is going to be a lot of people hit hard. Sure, some people make bank, but that's how it always works. The ones that really made bank were the ones that mine 15,000 BTC back when it was worth $0.02/BTC.

>Buy low, sell high.
The hard part is knowing when "low" and "high" is. People buying now most likely think that it will continue to rise up to several hundreds of dollars per coin, but like someone else said it will be very hard to sell at that price.
Chances are, this is the "high", so if you buy now you might be "buying high, selling low". Encouraging people to buy is exactly what someone who think the bubble will pop soon would say.
And I've followed bitcoins in the past, and with such an unstable currency it might lose 90% if not more, of its value overnight.
If you got let's say 1000 dollars invested right now, they might only be worth 100 tomorrow.

Indeed.
ATTENTION RETARDS:
The only people urging you to buy bitcoin are the people already invested. You buying more pushes up the price, earning them more money. Look at this graph. This is a bad idea. Nothing can maintain that sort of growth. It's going to crash and crash hard. There's no question.
Bitcoin has been a series of games where only the very early adopters benefit and everyone else gets absolutely fucking screwed when the various bubbles burst. And now it's hitting the mainstream and is getting ready for the biggest pop yet. If you're not already in deep enough to have covered your initial investment, it's too late. Just stay out of it for your own fucking good.
Maybe someday it will stabilize before the big players are scared off for good. But even if that happens, it's a fool's game. The early adopters already have majority stakes. They control vast portions of the possible bitcoins. Bitcoin succeeding would mean nothing to most people other than a new currency, but it would mean incredible wealth for those few. A new breed of 1% bullshit. And they're desperately pushing bitcoin PR to make it happen.
Fuck that.

Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer, decentralized form of money; as durable as the Internet itself. Remember, the Internet or DARPA as it was originally called, was created as a fail-safe, global network with no 'single point of failure.' If one part goes down, data takes another route and nothing is lost. So on this point the answer is "Yes," Bitcoin is durable.

Bitcoin is probably the most portable money in the history of the world. I can download any amount onto a thumb drive and walk across any border without any problems. Or, I could commit to memory a line of code that I can then input into the network and save or spend Bitcoins. So on the point of portability, Bitcoin gets an Aristotelian "Yes."

Bitcoin is probably the most fungible currency ever created. You can break it down by 10,000 decimal places and trade it just as easily without it changing in value so on this point the answer is also "Yes."

This is probably the characteristic that most people find difficult to comprehend. The intrinsic value of Bitcoin is very 21st century. If you think about it, what's the one thing that has become extremely scarce over the past thirty years that has grown in desirability? Privacy.
Privacy is an age of universal email collection and spying, with millions of CCTV camera's, and warrantless spying pervasive; privacy has become virtually non existent and therefore extremely scarce and desirable. Bitcoin can be a completely anonymous transaction that maintains the user's privacy beyond the reach of any authority. So on this point too, the answer is "Yes," Bitcoin fulfills Aristotle's need for having intrinsic value. Privacy is a desirable human right and people would want it even if it wasn't encoded as Bitcoins.
In conclusion, using Aristotle's four characteristics of money, Bitcoin fulfills all four. So then according to an Aristotelian definition, the answer is 'Yes.' Bitcoin is money.

Well, the market started to increase because a bunch of conservatives were in an uproar about Cyprus getting an immediate 10% bank tax, so they started funneling their money into bitcoins.

So what happens when quantum computers start to become practical (even if just for big players)?
Does bitcoin become worthless? Easily manipulated? Easily hoarded by those with such machines?
I'm kicking myself for not taking it more seriously a few years ago, but I still think technology is still progressing too quickly to think you can predict what the market will look like for this sort of thing even two years out.
And what about those early investors? Is there any information about how bitcoins are distributed?
And what happens if the wild days of the internet suddenly end, even temporarily? Eventually governments are going to have to try and take it over in some form. It's just too unpredictable for them to resist asserting control.

I think the concern with quantum computing is more about cracking bitcoin, not mining. The second you can't trust a transaction 100%, the whole system crumbles to dust.

If I knew that I wouldn't tell anyone.
That's the whole thing about stock (and Bitcoins) you want to be one step ahead of everyone else. If anything, you should tell people the exact opposite of what you think "yeah it's a good idea to buy now!" because that's when you will benefit the most.

It's hard to tell where threshold really lies this time.
We predicted the threshold for this bubble at 30$ first, then 50$, then 75$. 100$ might be next, but it could be very well before it.
Considering you could only make 33% profit with your example, it seems like a very risky investment with little payoff.

You're not gonna profit like you once could've, but if you put in $2000 or so RIGHT NOW, like THIS WEEK, and sold before they crash, say, buy at $72, sell at $85 or $90, you WILL profit, to some degree.

Why did you say that? Just to fear monger?
They're not going to drop until $90.
$70 isn't right yet. It's going to be $90 MINIMUM. But it could go higher. And also, a crash can NEVER be as bad as it once was, due to how deep bitcoin is. You could sell off 500 bitcoins ($40,000) and the market would NOT crash. It would move a little, perhaps down $5 or so, but it won't crash it.

The government can't indirectly tax you by printing more money at their leisure. Nobody can force your money out of your wallet. Only the person with the wallet file (which you can keep encrypted or even in a safe place offline) can give away the bitcoins in the wallet.
>this can't be taxed?
Anything can be taxed. Right now it isn't. If the US government decides that its citizens need to pay a bitcoin tax, then it wouldn't be much more difficult than enforcing the current tax scheme. Obviously the penalties would only be apparent once you're caught not paying it and end up in rape-prison.

Why the fuck would you invest lots of money in a currency that's worth a gram of gold per unit one day and a zimbabwe dollar the next
Fucking idiots

Seriously, no one has any clue just how far this rabbit hole goes. There's a reason I have 6 monitors. Not even kidding. The average joe will spend 1.5 years learning before pulling a profit IF and I mean IF he has the fucking balls to stay with it that long. This isn't a free ride. Doctors need to go to school, Lawyers need to go to school and, well, so do traders.
You don't just "get rich". You put more value on the money than your life. That's how you get there.

It's a fucking scam and bitcoins, despite whatever their imagined exchange rate might be, have no purchasing power and cannot become real money by any stretch of the imagination.
The whole thing is built kind of like a ponzi scheme and everyone who's bought into this thing is an idiot.

I don't really see why you would consider a dollar backed by nothing better than a bitcoin backed by nothing. At least the latter can't have its value annihilated by printing too much of it.

So in other words, ignore the shit out of this and get a 100% ROI on the REGULATED OTC (penny stock) market...
Sounds good.

Why do conspiratards buy Bitcoin? If the government is going to go full-tyranny as they say, why would their wealth on there being an open internet for their currency to function? Seems pretty fucking stupid to me.

A group of people at the top is making a shitload of money from all you people. If you're smart enough you can grab a few of dem dollas floating down. This won't last for long, though.
