My biggest fear:

DOGEcoin and Catcoin getting featured on the Oprah Winfrey Network before Bitcoin.

Bearish for Bitcoin but

BULLISH FOR DOGE

It's not Dogecoin vs Catcoin, it's Kittehcoin (MEOW)

well you can see what they are doing there - any old half whit who watches Oprah most likely has no clue of the network effect. Dogecoin is just a fun distraction. spend your money on dogecoin people, you dont want these silly bitcoins.
I hope the plan doesnt back-fire though!

Something in this thread gets confirmed.

EC getting cracked is the worst possible thing. It would be game over.

That deflation just creates perpetual pumps and dumps and that there will never be stability enough for true merchant adoption.

NSA is behind bitcoin

Satoshi is NSA

Those are not fears that exist in every Bitcoiner's mind, but only in the mind of the paranoid schizophrenics on this forum.

9,548. That PRISM is a red herring, and the NSA's giant data center is actually a rainbow table for bitcoin private keys.

Why would they need to, since BTC is THEir invention? (my fear Shocked

i am concerned about the long term impact of evolution in decryption technology. i want to believe, but i cannot foresee a situation where sha 256 won't be broken at some point. all BTC mined in what, 2140, and we really think sha 256 will be around then? i dont think so.

how do we address this problem?

5. my electric bill

It's actually my wife's reaction when she sees the next one that has me staying up all night scared as hell. I just fired up a new scrypt miner and we live in Kalifornia with $0.34/kWh rates....

I get charged about 0.25 euro cent per kWh, so i really do feel your pain.

I actually moved into a new place when i started mining, direct debit set up for monthly payments for normal household use.
It's basically like taking a Loan from the electric company for a year until they come take my meter reading and make me pay up.
By the time i actually have to pay hopfully BTC is worth more. All the electricity i used when mining with Avalon machines certainly does not not equate the same amount of bitcoin to pay now as it did then Wink

Nice derail, and yeah that roller sure makes you look like an idiot.

Why? It has all the disadvantages of a bike and of a roller, you can't carry it as easily and you are limited in propulsion. I would feel less stupid riding a segway than this.

You mean to tell me you ride a child's push bike?

only faggots sit on some sharp saddle between their ass crack squashing their balls. is that what you were asking for with that question? don't be that guy who ridicules innovation, you're on a wrong forum for that. try that kickbike and then come say your opinion. I have used a bicycle a lot in past thus my opinion has value while yours is purely based on prejudice.

My comment was meant in Jest as is this thread(i assume) and the comments i made earlier, all in Jest.

Now that you mention it I actually mostly cycle while standing on my pedals, I am quite tall and it is just comfier on my knees and yes it is comfier on the crotch area. oh and i like to tower over everyone ;p

I have ridden a push bike before, as i think most people have, i may not have ridden one since i was about 4 years old but a push bike is a push bike, you can add gears to it and fancy brake pads but it is just a push bike.

Now how do you cycle up hill as someone else asked?

Also you generally don't sit on a sharp saddle when cycling a bike Huh

I live in Amsterdam, I doubt Eugene Oregon could begin to compare with the amount of bikes used here.

some random numbers for you:

In 2006, there were about 1,000,000 bicycles in Amsterdam

in 2005, about 54,000 bicycles were stolen and every year between 12,000 and 15,000 bicycles are retrieved from the canals

ok your correct. haha but heres the best part, eugene only has 157,000 people, and they regularly make the top 10 lists for bike theft. id say on a per capita basis its nuts... i know people with attics full of stolen bikes and rooms wall to wall with stolen bikes hahahaha. im sorry ya lost so many bikes, not tryin to be a one upper or anything, i honestly thought ya lived here an i was gonna offer to take ya to a "bike store" =)
