Kim Dotcom is full of surprises. I hope he knows what he's doing.

I trust the guy for his current reputation. With that, I believe he will prove his words aren't just words.

He has hyped bitcoin quite a lot and I don't want to see his reputation be shattered for not keeping his word. This would prove a great opportunity for bitcoin users and mega users as well although it may pose quite a problem especially when the files being uploaded/downloaded are illegal.
yeah, i hope it will not turn out to be just a lie, if it was a real thing it will attract a lot of new people to bitcoins and i hope its price will grow
grow for now and if they close the service because of illegal activity? can you imagine what will happen to the price then? 
the next spike and crash like the big one before.

I don't think the price will be affected much by his service in the first place, so the damage of his service potentially closing down due to "illegal activity" as you said, will be next to nothing. The only one going to feel that impact is Kim himself.

Speaking of reputation,guy's a convict,has court cases running on him already.He was arrested from his workspace that is,his home for a number of accusations.It's not about the rep but perspective.

This would prove a great opportunity for bitcoin users and mega users as well although it may pose quite a problem especially when the files being uploaded/downloaded are illegal.
Touche!

But in the end he's just a fat ass who once had an idea to rip people off their money

Whose money did he steal? I never heard about that story. He was (allegedly) involved in an insider trading scam, but I've never heard about him just straight taking money from people.
On his Wikipedia page it says that he has been convicted for fraud and embezzlement, isn't that kinda similar to just straight up taking away money from someone?

Ah, I thought that the insider trading was unprosecuted, i.e. allegation only. Didn't realise he was tried and convicted.

What are we talking about? Isn't Kim broke now? Kim Dotcom loses appeal to keep millions?
he's sure broke but he's now trying to gather money as you can see he's planning to make megaupload 2.0,his previous income which make him rich was from megaupload that now has been raided and been seized because he just breaking the copyright rules
such a good idea but also could break the copyright rules for the second time

Didn't he transfer ownership of his latest mega businesses to his wife? I thought he was declared bankrupt a year ago and used his wife as a front to earn money through. If this new business earns thousands of Bitcoins they will probably officially be owned by his wife, and if anything goes wrong she will probably be held responsible.

He has a big reputation and his portfolio were amazing, when he got jail all people were able to see what he had collected with the megaupload project, now i believe the new project will make a huge pression to bitcoin, i doubt old costumers wont rejoin to return the income they had sharing content.

If he can develop this thing, no doubt this will change the world, bitcoin will be widely spread. More and more people use btc, and btc has a big jump to 2000 usd.

i think what kim dotcom has said so far is mostly hype. but also i think this can be a good thing and will be so popular in the beginning at least.

and i don't get one part of it, people on megaupload and file sharing kind of systems are sharing files for free, so as long as there is Torrents and free things like that, i don't know how you can ask for payment for your files.
unless this is some sort of sharing the revenue of megaupload like it was before.

If he is caught for the second time, then he will end up just like Ross Ullbricht, and will never come out of prison alive. He was just lucky during the first time. The Hollywood mafia is very powerful, and they will make sure that this guy is gone for good.

Someone people have doubts about his solutions at the moment (I have some doubts myself as well) but I trust the guy so let's just wait and see.
What solutions are you talking about ? He is not solving shit.From what I know,he will solve bitcoin scaling problem by inventing a system called Bitcache.Yes,the file uploads will be charged with micro payments which according to him enforce the use of bitcoins and thereby sky rocket the bitcoin prices.Apparently,they would go up 2k+ after the launch of Bitcache.

Only thing I'm afraid of here is Bitcoin gaining a bad reputation from this whole deal , If Megaupload 2.0 will be successfull like Megaupload 1.0 used to be and then goes down... then a lot of people will point to Bitcoin (mostly the Media)
He is supporting the operation by solving the scalability issues as he puts it!Don't think its bad for bitcoin in any possible way that I'm aware of.You can have a look his tweet,its quite hypothical.

If Kim success, bitcoin will really reach 2K+?

Megaupload where the biggest platafform to share content, i doubt his community will left him, and i doubt people wont rejoin again to restart making easy money from it, bitcoin should be the currencie, soo no countrie can trace the coins from him, i believe the new project can impact at bitcoin bringing fresh money and making the price raise a lot.
