there would have to be a much easier to do that if true.

given all my arguments, it is quite clear what my concerns are and that i think SC's are a bad idea.

the spvp is no where near being implemented.  much work needs to be done, afaik.

btw, i asked you before but never got an answer.  what mathematical proof is being used for the 2wp with all these federated servers you're claiming are in use?

ah, that's interesting.

it doesn't matter what i do.  i'm irrelevant, remember?

You have the rights
a) do not use it
b) troll at bitcointalk
c) ... 1 million other options :-)  .. and that is my question "what will you do then ? "

Yeah, that can probably go on for a few more decades. The youngest people who remember dollars as being tied to gold in their everyday life are probably in their 50-60s now. So another 20-30 years before those who viscerally internalize gold as money no longer run humanity to any meaningful degree. So the question for the next 20-30 years is: will economic rationality win out, or will those visceral childhood associations, and the power wielded by those who have them, be enough for a monetary resurgence of gold? I think it's a coin toss (and not a gold coin; too heavy).

Kinda doesn't matter, though, in the bitcoin vs gold discussion. Upside potential for bitcoin is considerably larger, with, in my opinion, greater probability of hitting the success case. The only spot where gold shines is if you want to be certain that your holding won't go to zero in the next 20-30 years (could still go -80%, though).

Eventually I found out somehing both you and cypher agree on :-)

It's not a sentimental thing, Gold's a little deeper than that, it does have POW behind it and a very long history of working just fine because of it.

I would argue that "youngsters" stupidly tolerate fiat, over 99% of people haven't a clue what money is. I'd take a 10 year position in gold over toilet paper any day.

Gold and Bitcoin are pretty similar economically. Fiat is our common enemy, but nobody seems to mind it too much, someone was lauding the emergence of "cryptofiat" recently, I told him it was an oxymoron.

Too many frauds and unregulated securities.

Even successful one cut investors out of the profit.

this is why Bitcoin is destined to succeed; as long as we don't screw it up as Sound Money:

“Having analyzed this malware and looked at the [previously published] Snowden documents,” Prins said, “I’m convinced Regin is used by British and American intelligence services.”

govt's worldwide are growing increasingly mistrustful of the NSA and GCHQ.  there will never be a worldwide ban on Bitcoin.

we or me?
