I'm sure he's pushing MS to get their own altcoin out there.  Given their penchant for ambiguous names that co-opt standard definitions, they'll probably name it something like MSbitcoin, bitcoin.dollars, or MSBucks.

MS altcoin. Oh dear. Bet it would be proprietary closed source.

Bill Gates will convert 50% of his wealth into bitcoins soon. What price should we expect?

$3125 (injecting that amount of $$ into the Bitcoin market would result in this price)

Right now, someone with about $10 million could push the price above $1000 on Mtgox.

Yea right - someone in other thread just calculated with $8M we went up $40 or so. And your math is from Mars?


Read the post above mine first. Reality is smth different.

Ah, rat poison...

Interesting quote,"I think Bitcoin is Rat Poison".

I agree. The banks are the Rats.

This is it.. Like this short intro about BTC in this program, with those guys sitting there !


On second read I understand what you say. Good idea.

Maybe first in the video introduce bankers rat-like behaviour ("have you ever felt like you'd been robbed of your purchasing power?") and depict them as rats (image of rat with tie or something), then THE QUOTE: "I think bitcoin is Rat Poison"

History is being played out and it seems that the US, China, Bafin and most other regulators are choosing the path of regeneration instead of repression (only the Canadians it seems). It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
It looks like Canada is allowing for economic regeneration, so long as you register as a money transmitter as is the case with www.cavirtex.com. Looking at the latest actions of the US regulators it seems to be leaning towards repression.

so if bill gates went into bitcoins in a big way he could, with his fortune alone, drive the price to 10,000 per coin.  Tongue

He would have to sell everything he has to do so. Rich people might own lots of land, businesses, condos but... liquidity is the secret.

still, i think you get my point  Tongue
