Topic: I am pretty confident we are the new wealthy elite, gentlemen. - page 219. (Read 631963 times)
I'm not aiming to be a millionaire or even considered "wealthy" I only want to be able to help cover bills etc, hopefully in the future I might be able to help pay for my first car, who knows.
I think it's funny that this thread seems to appear when the price is either tanking or hitting new highs.
This thread doesn't work anymore.
I am pretty confident it will work again as soon as it dies and is re-discovered some months later when we hit $1000. So please let's keep it alive, who knows, maybe it's now working in the opposite direction!

Just noticed..... that's it... -_-!
Who is the necromancer here?

I would turn the Bitcoins into physical assets and buy a couple of small apartment buildings and a grocery. Retire in a very early age and work 24/7/365 till I die on making Bitcoin a better technology. Already got tons of plans and they need soul and body dedication to make them happen.
I don't want to be "rich". I just want money to not be a grave issue for me and my family. I don't want them to live on "check to check" model.

Seemed like we were due for a bump on this classic thread. Am i wrong?

Sorry.

For someone who, apart from some mental issues, seemed to be the personification of the 'Randian Hero' Atlas ended up not getting much love around here.
I thought the Randian Heros actually created something in those stories? All Atlas did was expose everyone to his diarrhea of the mouth! He was actually more like the villains who just sat around and talked.
Exactly - Atlas had all the ideas of the "Randian Hero" but he possessed absolutely zero followthrough to his ambition. Which sort of misses Rand's point. I do think that Atlas put forward some ideas and ambition that OTHERS actually wound up acting on - often with substantial changes, but he put things out there and drove the community in the early days. IE I think bitcoin's trajectory might have been quite different without Atlas for all his flaws.
I doubt it. Atlas was an idea man, for sure, but just because he thought of some things first doesn't mean that they wound't have been thought of by others in due course.

Dammit, jinxed!
This thread seems to be losing its power to jinx the rallies.Uh-oh, that re-jinxed it.

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.

Somewhat ironic, perhaps, that the author of that quote hasn't been active on here since August 24th 2011.
That was Atlas, who had many alt accounts (~23 last I heard, likely more through proxies) that he jumped on when he made an idiot of himself/got too many ignores/forgot to take his meds/whatever. He did leave 4-5 months ago though.
I've probably jinxed it by saying his name and he'll be back tomorrow.

I didn't mind him, but he was young and prone to aggravate both friend & foe alike.
