Ripple do that

That wouldn't happen, anyone who has millions in the BTC bank is going to want to spend some of it, better holidays, a better car or house, even if they are extremely frugal, they will spend some of it so I think this brings us back to the idea that a deflationary currency like Bitcoin doesn't encourage extreme hoarding but frugality.

Re: Is Bitcoin just a stepping stone to something better?


 Bitcoin is the real deal.

 Bitcoin is Gold 2.0

 Bitcoin is Freedom.

 Bitcoin is light-years ahead of all the competition combined.

 It's already an unstoppable force.

 Bitcoin is the new King of Currencies the world over.

 Bitcoin frees both society at large and their governments from their indebted slavery to their hidden masters at the worlds Central Banks.

 Watch with awe as the Banksters continue scream and pout at Bitcoin and it's users through the media and with their other shills, not to mention at their banks.

 And all while society and the worlds more decent governments learn that Bitcoin offers everyone long term freedom and an enormous magnitude of greater society wide prosperity that the world has never before known.

 Bitcoin frees us all from the Banksters debt based fiat currencies loaned to our governments and all of us at ruinous rates of usury interest. We will all be much more prosperous without the enslavement of debt based fiat currencies, and so will our governments. This changes everything. Bitcoin is The SOLUTION.

 Nothing is going to stop this Decentralized Monetary Revolution. And nothing is going to be apt to dethrone Bitcoin for many decades or centuries to come.



 Like I coined elsewhere before:  Bitcoin is Freedom.



 Bitcoin is the real deal.

 And nothing is stopping this Global Revolution!

Correct. That is why Bitcoin is not fit to be an every day internet currency. What it does best is perform the store of value function. As for exchange for goods and services I think Dogecoin has a good chance to become that every day internet currency for circulation.

Why spend it in 2 years when you can wait 2 more years for price to go up even more?  In fact just never spend it and when you die pass it on to your kids.  In theory price will rise to infinity no?

the next big jump in this zone is recognition of the world market and broad demand.
we are not in the end or the beginning, we are in a middle of process that could bring us to something better and its the target.

It doesn't matter if there are only 21 Million coins because they are divisible.
Bitcoin doesn't encourage hoarding, it encourages sensible spending.
Our current financial model is.....I want that Aston Martin today....I dont have the money, I'll get a loan

With Bitcoin the model is, I have the money today  or If I just wait two years, the Price will go up and
I'll be able to buy the car AND have some bitcoin left.

Bitcoin, being deflationary Encourages sensible spending, rather than hoarding.
I imagine everyone on here has bought stuff with Bitcoin.

more and more bitcoin exchange plateforme are adopting it.

The next one this year will be kraken and Itbit and this is for good reason too. Even if you don't get it yet.

It's open source, that's true. The other points are not true (it can't technically be created at will - but there are so many unissued XRP owned by it's creators so that this limitation is entirely meaningless). It's not decentralized like Bitcoin. So overall your statement is not true.

I've already tested Ripple and rejected it for good reason. XRP is a very bad investment. As a payment network alone it has some use but will be useless once bitcoin reaches mainstream adoption.

I think that non-cash payments and internet access at any time have become a stepping stone to Bitcoin

remind me please what was a stepping stone to bitcoins?

We need something extremely fast (60 seconds or less) and with very low transaction fees.

Goldcoin has a plan. It will begin testing this month a new client that will support multiple currencies and is a complete rewrite of the Satoshi code using a more robust multi-threaded code base. Our supply is also by design roughly 3X that of Bitcoin. In addition, Goldcoin is a name that is preferred in consumer testing over any other coin including Bitcoin.

Watch this video in its entirety and you'll swear by the end he's talking about Goldcoin (GLD).

my bet.    bit(ch)coin will rute the internetz!

Where is the lie ? are you kidding me ? Saying it's a lie based on your belief that anything except bitcoin is an illuminati conspiracy doesn't make your statement more credible.

Ripple is open source => https://github.com/ripple
Decentralized => see the wiki

And XRP can not be created at will (no more than bitcoin).

Educate yourself instead of bitching around.

That's an outright lie. Using uppercase won't make it more credible...

Are you paid to post these lies or are you just too heavily invested in XRP?

BTC is the coin of the future and in some years, he will replace the dollar.

Bitcoin might be a stepping stone but only if something comes along that improves on it.

People are so ignorant about ripple =D Soon ripple will be the #1 crypto. This is certain
