a guy on another bitcoin forum just told me, he wish osama bin laden will soon detonate a dirty nuke in nyc or china will go to war with japan from their recent air defense zone spat.

he explains to me in the following chaos and disasters, people will lose their life savings and governments will impose capital control and seize citizens’s property, thus causing people to pile their money into bitcoins, so that he can get rich.

do you all share his sentiment?

my limited discussions with anarchists leads me to believe this is true.. i had one guy tell me that, during the dorner case they "spend $20 million trying to capture the guy" which was "more of a tragedy than the innocent people that dorner killed."

i have a feeling that those people would think differently if it were the hammer dropping on them.

The beauty of bitcoin is, instead of waiting for the current ailing financial system to collapse, we can simply start building a better future now.

If done well, the switch will be seamless.

Anyone who wishes destruction so they can get rich is a short sighted fool who may just end up losing everything in the process.

Peace.

This. Bitcoin is a silent revolution. Yes it takes a bit longer but we avoid a lot of bloodshed.

Plus celebrating many small victories seems more rewarding than one huge victory.

most bitcoin people may not say it in public, but they wish it in their hearts.

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending

Quote from: LiteCoinGuy on November 30, 2013, 09:29:23 AM

I think most fiat currencys will inflate like hell and alot of people will lose their work and get very poor. I guess that will happen. I dont want that, but i cant change that. I have to be prepared for that case. If others are to lazy and only watch football and silly Tv shows, thats their problem. Time will tell but so far, iam pretty satisfied with the solutions i made.

You forgot to mention playing with their xBox games they got at a discount at Walmart on Black Thursday/Friday. Next year, they'll be able to purchase same during Grey Wednesday or Tan Tuesday. I think we're still a few years out of having a Maroon Monday.

only sickos wish for tragedies to occur simply so the value of their assets rise ...

Op, maybe you could buy some shares in arms firms or profit from economic unstainability in war-torn third world countries Cool

I can't wait for the value of the dollar to go down so much that I can wallpaper my house with benjamins.

In reality, Bitcoin will do better with a good economy which will promote advances in technology which will make Bitcoin a more viable currency to use on a day to day basis.

lol the china vrs japan thing?

China wants to legitimize current/even more military spending and so they do this to keep masses in line , Japan wants reasons to justify bulking up military , in fact Japan wants to spend as much as possible and create massive inflation (abenomics) so the leaders both agree to this long beforehand, and laugh all the way to the bank at people's expense. This is just a bad movie....

Is this a joke? If the major world economies collapse and we enter the apocalypse, bitcoin will be useless as well. The economy is the most important aspect of a functioning country. If the dollar suddenly went to 0 overnight, nothing would function and you certainly wouldn't be "rich."

Assuming you're talking about a less severe attack similar to the theory behind that Pelham 123 movie (spoiler: bad guy buys gold, then commits act of terrorism, causing dollar to decrease and gold to increase in value), then that still wouldn't have much of an effect on bitcoin since the majority of the general public doesn't even know what bitcoin is. Gold would go up, bitcoin wouldn't.

Pretty sure I'm replying to a troll thread but whatever.

you should get our more, enjoy the world, and stop chatting with pyschos - I don't think the end of civilisation would be particularly beneficial to anyone.

Careful what you wish for.
Not much good being rich if the world is unfit for human habitation.

we're not all psychopaths. if the dollar collapses overnight it will be devastating.

if it continues to slide over the long term, it won't be as jarring.

Hoping the current financial system collapses sooner rather than later is the same as hoping the inevitable negative consequences are smaller than they would be otherwise.
