I will never convert btc to fiat. I am more interested in the philosophical ideas behind it than as a speculative asset so if the good ship BTC goes down I will be on the deck as it slips beneath the waves.

Ok, let's assume that the following scenario is actually possible, I would like to know how you feel when all these thing happen at the same time:

Bitcoin is under a 66% attack (double spends are happening)
Is also banned by the US, Russian, EU and China government by threat of 30 years jail time.
The real satoshi (proven by something) is found dead, killed.




Uh, you mean 51% attack?
No actually 66,6% attack

Whats the difference between a 51% attack and 66.6% attack?

15,6%

 Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

I would just hold cause what I've invested into BTC is what I could afford to loose Smiley

I don't like the fact that there's no middle ground. I personally spend just enough as to make the economy healthy.

If the top two things happened at the same time, I think it would be safe to say that it is time to sell lol.   No matter how much you want to support BTC, it is parachute time if you are heavily invested...

I will sell most of my bitcoins before your stated scenario happens. I
am not a die hard fan, do not flame me for it  Cheesy

I see bitcoin as a payment system, like my credit card. If the credit
card company is closing down. What will you do with the cashback money
on the card? Spend it surely.

i see it as the same. people who think btc will replace currency are
just crazy. as of now, i see bitcoin, at least for me, as a lottery
ticket. if i win, i win big.. if i lose, then i just lose.

To me bitcoin is more of a powerful network and payment protocol rather
that a currency. It a long way to come until there is technology in
place to help it replace FIAT

Need some help. How does a person respond to these polls? I'd like to participate but am missing something. Help please.

Newbies can't vote in polls. You need at least Jr. Member status to vote in polls. Jr Members status requires 30 activity. You can check activity levels here : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1861412

Your handle gives me the strangest boner, no homo.

I immediately want to hit the office bathroom stall with my smartphone for some reason... Embarrassed

Fuck your theism-endorsing poll, no gods no masters. And frankly I don't give a fuck about who made Bitcoin.

I care that crypto is objectively, vastly superior to fiat money in ever conceivable way.

Nation-state government-backed currency is a dying animal, like polar bears. Crypto is lighting a fire under the ass of the finance world.

A pure mathematics-based digital currency is so obviously the way of the future, it honestly blows my mind that so few people so this inevitable reality for what it is.

Enjoy the Bitcoin rush while you still can.  Fiat will live forever.

Then again I feel the same about atheism, anarchism, anti-capitalism, so...

The only reasonable explanation I can come up with is the typical historical amnesia of the masses, but that's really limited to Americans so... Like half of americans still believe in angels so there's not really much hope there.

The real satoshi (proven by something) is found dead, killed.

The real question is how those came to be. From what we've seen pools getting 50% or more get severe community backlash - meaning that most of the miners switch pools to reduce the size of that pool. The second option is a possibility minus the jail time (how is it illegal to accept something else as a form of payment - it's just the barter system). I'm not even going to bother with the last.

Now to answer your hypothetical - if all three happened, I'd probably just hold on to what I have and see where it goes (not much value in divesting in something that will have already hit rock bottom thanks to those factors). Bitcoins are an experiment, I'm keeping some in case - but if they become worthless overnight I won't be too greatly affected.

Why does it matter if Satoshi dies? The inventor of fiat ain't exactly alive and well.
I just tried to make a horrible scenario for anyone to panic sell.
The outcome is surprising, BTC is very resilient
