This Monday, June 5, Kim Dotcom announced that the private beta version of Megaupload 2.0 and Bitcache will finally be released in August after having the release postponed in January this year.
Kim Dotcom is known for the success of its Megaupload cloud storage platform that was shut down by the US government. He promised the public, a successor to his popular service. In 2015 the entrepreneur announced that he would be using Bitcoin as an incentive layer within his next generation of Megaupload.
At the time Kim promised to officially launch Megaupload 2.0 and Bitcache until January 20 of this year. However, the release date was postponed without confirming a new date.

I think this will push price to 15.000$/BTC -20.000$/BTC at least in a near future. He said that Megaupload 2.0 will atract 50 million people just like the first Megaupload.

You think this will be price. Dream on. Price wont be effected with this megaupload 2.0 launch (if it ever happens anyway). Bitcoin price is determined with other factor not launching with megaupload 2 and bitcache. Nothing from this will influence the price.

It may boost the number of users of bitcoin and its price in the future but I don't think that much
BTW, I almost forgot this project since it isn't launched for many months, hope it will not get postponed again so we can see how much will be successful

A bit strange that the anticipated release seems to coincide with anticipated uncertainties in bitcoin that are going to fall around the same time frame... the UASF that is August 1? Coincidence? or planned?

Kim Dotcom have a reputation, he can't simply run with funds.

There is no guarantee about anything. I agree that Kim Dotcom is quite famous and he is very rich. But even then, there is a chance that he may run away with all the funds. Remember what happened to Mark Karpeles and his Mt Gox exchange? If you look at the older posts here, then you will find only praise for him by the experienced users. At that time, he was also having a "reputation".

Yes, he confirmed the "private beta" will be released in August. Now, "private beta" should mean that it won't be ready for public released yet, but for testing purposes.

Yes, it's clear that a "private" beta won't be ready for public prime time use. But at least there is some forward movement. I'm very interested to see the final product and I have a feeling it will be great.

A really interesting project TBH, and it's released by Kim dot com who's really a controversial man, it'll either attracts crypto users and ordinary people. Though, pretty curious about the current progress of the project but it seems that the time has come, August will be coming and let us see the real benefits of practical use given by this project.
Really entertained by him since then LOL.

It would be something if this happen when he sad it will be, but i dont think so thins project is more and more sinking ship and will never see light of a day.
Perhaps im wrong but this is simple my point of view on the matter to many promises and to little was offered to see.

God knows what happened to that , i remember in September or November this was legit everywhere that kim is returning and this time he is going to introduce some sort of wallet which will increase the price till 2000$ blah blah. I actually believed him and because he had a name i remember my neighbours had invested in bitcoin because of this. Luckily they did forget about this otherwise they won't curse me for the rest of my life.

I heard MegaUpload was secretly spied by NSA & FBI (for user activities and file sharing)

Mega.nz implemented good cryptography for users file sharing online but sooner or later, the NSA Cowboys would have to pay them a visit.

Why not we create our own file sharing system that may works on Blockchain network, something similar to OpenBazzar Huh

Any ideas or possibility that this idea may work?

back in 2016 i remember the hype of Megaupload 2.0 and KimDotcom saying
- it will be huge and break the internet, blah blah, revolutionize file sharing
- bitcoin will be $2000 because of it (this happened irregardless Wink

)
- start buying now

and all of it was supposed to be released in early 2017 and now we are mid way through the year and i don't see anything anywhere.
so what happened? was it postponed again or did they give up?
i think there was also a crowd funding? run away maybe?

I would expect to see this by 2018 once segwit is enable and things have settled. Right now with the storm brewing about UASF and frankensegwit fights it's just not a good idea to get too involved in bitcoin ventures, let's see how it resolves and we'll see a lot of entrepreneurship action comming to bitcoin, but not until this is resolved.

Why don't you wait to see what he's actually proposing and be able to make an informed judgement before telling people whether it's a good idea or not? Kim DotCom sounded pretty adamant that his idea was going to be a net positive for scaling. Granted he's always been a bit of a loudmouth and it could prove to be baseless hype, but given his track record, I'm curious to see what he has come up with.

Also, read the last page, private beta to go ahead in August this year.

Yep it's funny that right when OP made this thread KimDotcom tweeted this:

It's like Kim heard OP and made the tweet lol.

In any case, he has my benefit of the doubt. I never said he is a scammer, and I know he is a loudmouth and a showman but he is also pretty smart and deliver a good product. Let's hope this is a success, but it would be ideal if we had segwit and lightning network for this type of stuff, but apparently he has developed his own native solution.... lets see.

Great, since last year I am anticipating his project. I think it is with micropayments and it is timely that t is will be in demand from now on. I trust Kim for this project as I know he has the capacity to start and fund this project. Hope all lawsuits will be solved and ending soon to pursue this good project.

I guess he heard you, Kim DotCom took to Twitter and is now saying something will be happening in August. Pity he didn't go into any detail, though. Guess he's playing his cards close to his chest for now.
