Just that I don't see how the outcome should differ from last time, apart from the spike being dampened by the experience. Or not happening at all unless someone wants to keep the price hike show up.

Hush!  We're trying to set up a bubble here!  Smiley

The proposal is a Ponzi scheme if people are supposed to expect price to keep growing at current speeds on logscale.

It's not a Ponzi (centralized).  It's much closer to a pyramid scheme (decentralized).

The wildly-optimistic scenario isn't for eternal growth, but just very fast growth up to the scale of fiat money supplies, first as speculators try to get in early, later as people switch from fiat to BTC on a widespread scale.

I predict the TV show will have no further impact on bitcoin, and that after viewing it people will be complaining on this forum that 'they didn't mention bitcoin enough' and 'they didn't say how great it is'.

I agree with this. The show is a fiction drama, most viewers, 98%, won't even have the thought cross their mind that bitcoin is even real. They will think of it as fiction on a fiction show. I don't know about anyone else, but when I watch a movie or TV show I'm not instantly compelled to start googling the names of companies or technologies in the show.

The people who 'get' bitcoin or will anytime soon are mostly here. The masses are going to take 3-10 exposures to start taking it seriously. Mark one down imo.

Get ready for 123678 wft-Bitcoin-is-a-real-thing moments over the next 3 months.

I will officially go on record and say that anyone buying over 6.50 will be sorry they did.

Ok back to the show.

I find the idea to blow up price by drawing in more speculators speculatacular.

Just that I don't see how the outcome should differ from last time, apart from the spike being dampened by the experience. Or not happening at all unless someone wants to keep the price hike show up.

So, on a more serious note, I don't think this is how it should work. The proposal is a Ponzi scheme if people are supposed to expect price to keep growing at current speeds on logscale.

I'm at work so I can't really check too much, but what's changed to make you think that?  It's still at $6.80 as far as I can tell (like the last few days)...

Don't get me wrong, I hope you're right Smiley

EDIT: Just realised there might be a picture in your post that's been blocked so I can't see it (I rarely see any attachments from this forum when I'm at work) Smiley
