If Mega has some sort of service that is payable in Bitcoin, this may be huge.
Being one of the biggest file sharing companies, they would definitely influence a lot of people to adopt the technology.
This could cause a big increase in price.
Only time will tell.
I'm sure Kimdotcom is being careful, but you know several governments are watching him and will arrest him again if they can find any reason to.

however, one could assume that Bitcache is a network where users can pay for files using Bitcoin.
This would make sense and is what i was thinking, there must be some need for the Bitcache wallets mentioned.Whatever happens it sounds like an interesting project Kim is working on and i can't wait to see it go live.

“Nobody will upload to any other cloud after Megaupload’s Bitcache goes live. 100 million Bitcache wallets,” he said this morning.
What is Bitcache wallet? I haven't heard before about this term and maybe lots of us don't know what is and what are the differences from a normal bitcoin wallet.
The news about Megaupload to be alive again on the scene is good and really want to see whats innovative this time and how bitcoin can be used there.
Right now there is already a project bitcache the link to that is in the article I posted, but is not what he is talking about, he is just unaware that someone else is already using that name.
And in this moment we don't have any details about what Kim is talking about but I guess he wants to make something like counterparty http://counterparty.io
So yeah, we just have to wait and see what he will do!
Not sure if megauplaod will be something like counterparty!
however, one could assume that Bitcache is a network where users can pay for files using Bitcoin.
Then the price of files would depend from its size?
I don't think this could make bitcoin price go to moon!
This can be something like paying the uploaders for upload their files and based on the number of downloads!

Maybe he is right, if he will create a demand for Bitcoin it might shoot up to $2000 once his project is live. This is a good initiative of Kimdotcom that other developers missed, they keep on creating Altcoins but who will use it, where can they use it. With Kimdotcom's project, one will be obliged to buy Bitcoins so they can use his site.

If indeed there is "currency changing hands for people sharing files" the next level "decentralization, anonymity & encryption" will be a must. And if indeed it is using bitcoin, his hyperbole will be completely justified.
Between the halving having been shaken out for 6 months by then, COIN, use cases like this, seg wit deploying, and perhaps sidechains, 2017 could be a banner year.

“Megaupload 2.0 takes decentralization, anonymity & encryption to the next level. A nightmare for those who want to mass surveil & censor,” Dotcom concludes.
Anyone here so bullish to say that BTC will be 2000$ in jan 2017 like Kim is saying?
If Kim implements the new Megaupload as a distributed storage system, then the strong rhetoric in the quote above will be entirely justified. We will see.
