Whenever I see this thread it usually means the price has peaked and is on its way down.

My first sale on Bitcointalk was a 1.8Gh/s rig for about 150BTC in summer of 2012.  Grin

To think that not so long ago I was paid 50 BTC for two hours of work.

Damn that was a good gig if there ever was one.

While I share the belief that bitcoin or something very like it will play a major role in the future, I think the road there is going to be a lot rougher.

I imagine we will see a huge boom then a bust, after that those who stick around will build the meaning full economy that will allow bitcoin or its successor to dominate.

I don't care about the busts. I am riding this pig wherever it takes me. If it tanks, I'll have a helluva story to tell. I'm sick of half measures. I'm swinging for the fences and If I strike out, so be it.  I won't be some mediocre drone living a life of quiet desperation. I believe in bitcoin and I'm going for broke, knowing the risks.  

I'm with you. Want to camp together if this shit burns?

Supernode thread is addressing these same issues.

Quote
It is best to think of this as a very real instance of a Alternate Reality Live Action Role Play. Just jump in by buying bitcoins, start to act as if they had tremendous value (which will cause them to have the value) and take your role as a Nobleman or Freeman! The power is there for grabs!

The registration fee is 0.5% of your bitcoins and that already buys you many things. We literally divide the world among us. Be prepared to spend 5% of your bitcoins annually on the game - flight, hotel and restaurant expenses, general living according to your lot, meetups and other marketing. Note: You are also expected to setup bitcoin businesses and you will have the chance to make the money back with interest. If not, at least the 95% are very much more valuable because of the interest you have been keeping up with the Supernode lifestyle.


Jun 13:

Bitcoin Capability Classification (BCC) is a general scale for classifying the capability of people in the Bitcoinworld. The system is logarithmic. It encompasses the previous Supernode classification.

ULTRANODES
00-05 unestablished regal titles (one or more)
06-10 Duke (approx. min. 10,000,000mBTC and behaves like that)

HYPERNODES
11-15 Prince (approx. min. 3,000,000mBTC and behaves like that)
16-20 Marquis (approx. min. 1,000,000mBTC and behaves like that)

SUPERNODES
21-25 Earl (approx. min. 300,000mBTC and behaves like that)
26-30 Viscount (approx. min. 100,000mBTC and behaves like that)

Everything above this will collectively be called "Supernodes". Everything below this will never be called "Supernodes" so make sure to acquire and hold the 100 bitcoins required, if you want to be numbered in the Register of Supernodes! Smiley Now they are so cheap. Bitcoins, I mean.

MININODES
31-35 Baron (approx. min. 30,000mBTC and behaves like that)
36-40 Baronet (approx. min. 10,000mBTC and behaves like that)
41-45 Knight (approx. min. 3,000mBTC and behaves like that)

FREEMEN
46-50 Freeman 1st class (approx. min. 1,000mBTC)
51-55 Freeman 2nd class (approx. min. 300mBTC)
56-60 Freeman 3rd class (approx. min. 100mBTC)
61-65 Freeman 4th class (approx. min. 30mBTC)
66-70 Freeman 5th class (approx. min. 10mBTC
71-75 Freeman 6th class (approx. min. 3mBTC

These guys (above) are about 300 million in number, and hold more bitcoins than an average person in the world. More than 90% of the coins will be held by them, so the inequality of distribution of liquid wealth will stay, should minicoin reach $300 quickly.

76-80 Freeman 7th class (approx. min. 1mBTC
81-85 Freeman 8th class (approx. min. 0.3BTC
86-90 Freeman 9th class (approx. min. 0.1BTC
91-95 Freeman 10th class (less than 0.1mBTC but can take care of himself)

THE DESTITUTE
96-100 The Destitute

People who are destitute cannot take care of themselves, for which reason the other must take care of them. It depends on the climate, political system (e.g. minimum wage), relative living standard and acceptable living standard for a destitute, how many there are. It can be up to 20% but can be as few as 2% of the population, how many are destitute. Currently even "the destitute" in Finland can typically buy several hundreds or thousands mBTC with different kinds of social aid. After a few months they are very well off. But we will have another group of destitutes soon when the Government money runs out.

Since then bitcoin has gone up, now at $100 a coin. But if something like government regulation/tax comes in the value can drop down a lot.

the growth will only be fueled by the adoption of bitcoin and businesses being opened with bitcoin, so with this said, it is a community effort to get everyone involved and be a part of the economy. We need more businesses and less speculators.
We are kindling.

Eventually the spark progresses to inferno and becomes self-sustaining, grows without our active help.

We have not yet reached bitcoin's tipping point. But things will happen very fast at that point. Can't say when and how, but it will be a very interesting and unforgettable series of events, the end of fiat and the ascendancy of digital currency, the last form of currency humankind will use for the rest of time.

How much do you think that would be the amount of BTC that you should at least to hold in order to be member of this new elite in the near future? How many Bitcoins it takes to get into 1% of Bitcoiners. 100? 210? 2100?

10btc  Grin

I suppose even 1BTC could make someone rich depending on how widespread BTC becomes.  Also, the value of a BTC will vary depending on where the person is perhaps.  

And to be in the top 1% will just depend on how much coin the early adopters sell off.  If the average person only has 0.0001 BTC then 10BTC may very well put them in the top 1% at that point.

But the fact that even 10btc could make someone rich someday is why I have told a few of my friends to invest and at least buy a few.  Who knows right?  It could be worth nothing or thousands!  I think logically it will be only one of those two choices.  So many of us are here for the long term to see how this plays out.

There will be only 21*10^6 btc, world population is about 7*10^9, thus average person/organization will have no more than 0.003 btc... I am about 6 times richer with my 0.02 btc, but when I own 3 btc, I will be 1000 times richer, so I think 3 btc is definitely enough.
