I'm with OROBTC on this one. Definately not a bit-bug as I don't believe in a full financial collapse of the world.

I do believe in bitcoin and that it will see tremendous growth ahead still. I've made sure to have a solid foot in bitcoin concerning its current price and my current income.

Regarding gold and selling 1000 times the existing gold to depress the price, it is highly unlikely that something like this happened. Would also be severly hitting their own gold worth hard this way. Also, the current price is already the result of massive hoarding instead of circulating that gold. As long as we can get by with the amount that is in circulation, the price will likely not explode.

I believe in freedom and it is one of the many properties of bitcoins... I am not a fan of financial collapse as many people (usually the poorer ones) will suffer as a consequence of that.

I believe bitcoin-effect is a gradual one which has the potential of giving freedom back to people.

The physical gold is about 2000 tons in the world, but open glod future contract is about 60000. This is gold bugs reason believing in manipulation.
The lesson learned is that we should boycott Bitcoin future, if major bank would to create one.

I don't think #2 is necessary to be called a bitcoin bug, in-fact most won't prefer to called that at all even if they're and the world financial system doesn't have to collapse, but as with every system, it needs an update to new technology to work more efficiently and bitcoin is the answer for that, like email was the update for traditional mailing system and fax.

the term is bitcoiner

Call me a DoomBug or whatever you want to call me, but some things are just common knowledge. We all know this debt driven economy cannot last forever and something that goes up, must come down. I do not believe the banks or the governments for that matter, have our best interest at heart, because they are either money or power driven.

Some big correction in the economy is coming and the longer things goes on like this, the bigger the collapse will be.

DoomBug signing off. ^Bleeeeeep^

No I am not a radical Bitcoin supporter who thinks everything else like fiat is pure evil and needs to be eradicated from the face of the Earth. I am just a liberal guy who just tries to balance the advantages and disadvantages of every currency be it digital or not.

The fact that dollar will collapse in the future is just that, a fact... this is not a discussion, it's just a matter of time. So anyone that is paying attention to what's actually up, must have important amounts of money in metals and Bitcoin. If you are a goldbug that only pays attention to metals and ignores Bitcoin, you are an idiot. If you only pay attention to Bitcoin and ignore metal, you are also an idiot.

If anyone follows world news. it is no secret that major countries are devalue their currencies. I don't think a complete wipe out will happen, but inflation will kick in someday violently. If bitcoin can live to that day, probably less than 3 year, btc should go up dramatically, in sync with gold. Of course,i am afraid governments will try to depress gold, maybe at the same time, bitcoins.
