Where we're going... we don't need oil. 
Good one. And I heard someplace that we're going to be out of oil in a few decades anyway. Which to me is a case for coming up with an alternative for gasoline for our cars, am I right?

Are you talking about solar power or nuclear power ?
Secondarily, about solar, nuclear, wind and wave power, and so on. We will run out of oil sooner or later, let the old money fight for it with their debt-based dollars, while a new generation moves on to a brighter future.

What we really ought to do is, instead of trying to get the big retailers to notice us, simply focus on using Bitcoin to buy and sell things that we already have. As they say, one man's junk is another man's treasure. In fact, I was just about to see if Wordpress has a plugin that would kinda turn my Woocommerce plugin into a kind of flea market.
no. i think its a first step.
... so 1.5 years more to come .... -> BOOOOOOOOM
tic tac ....

as said in first post
So... what u dreamt almost a year and half ago is gonna be reality ?
If you guys stop acting like evangelicals then we won't even need to say anything to get people to accept Bitcoin, taxes inflation and government debt will bring them to us...
This will happen regardless of whether or not we're "behaving like evangelicals". The two things have absolutely no connection whatsoever.The dollar was a dead thing walking long before Bitcoin came along, by the way. The dollar is the sinking Titanic on which we were all trapped. Satoshi came along with a ferry full of life rafts, the smartest people are now jumping on the rafts.
Funny thing about the Dollar-Titanic... It's so damn massive that most folks cannot even tell that it's sinking until they're off the ship, and their life raft has traveled a far enough distance to see it clearly...
Similar problem with capitalism, writ large(r).
but the really only way bring bitcoin to worldwide mainstream is to persuade (or to force) the OPEC to accept bitcoin instead of the US$ for the oil.
wait the "bank run" of your account ... and you see bitcoin in a other way (bulgaria landcast)

i think the 50 day thing refers to when the main payment processors have a released debit card system ....? allowing for easy btc/fiat conversion for merchants without having to grasp the complexities of cryptography
We have enough nightmare stories about gambling on this forum already don't make it worse lol! 
Btw: bitcoin will begin to go mainstream in 50 days from now. I will bet my money on that.
I would like to take you up on that. PM me to discuss a bet.
Somethings wrong guys. I've been repeatedly pressing F5 on mtgox since I sent them this message but the price isn't going up. Whats going on?
Fucking LOL!
You may think it's funny, but I just called the 4300 number for S & G and the lady on the other end answered with, "Hello, Bruno K........ Hope I pronounced that correctly. How can we be of assistance to you today?" Click!
Then the entity called me, but I didn't answer, so they left a message which started with, "Hello, Phinnaeus Gage. It seems we got discounted..."
The call spooked me enough that I'm goin' to purchase me one of them bags like below and start living in the woods.
Before I retire with the bears, does anybody want to buy a dozen pairs of Bitcoin orange Stilettos, size 13?

Huh? It's going mainstream since almost 4 years and will continue to do so for a long while before any serious news outlet will ask "Is BTC mainstream?".Wired begs to differ.

EXPIRED: Bitcoin
At the height of its popularity, Bitcoin was trumpeted as a viable alternative currency for the internet age, a monetary system engineered to prevent theft, gaming, and criminalization. Then came the malware, the black market, the legal ambiguities and The Man. Today, you can't even use it to buy Facebook stock.

Finite resource is finite.
Oil (like all non-renewable resources) stands no chance as a future source of energy.
Oil consumption is (nessesarily) going down, it will never be cheap again.
What will be left of the market will not be enough to give OPEC a serious means of power.
OPEC is a stupid goal for bitcoin...

Heh. You do know that cars don't operate by tipping gasoline into a black hole, right? All of the atoms are still here, so we can create as much gasoline and other hydrocarbon products as we want, at will. However, right now, it is cheaper to pump it out of the ground than it is to sieve carbon and hydrogen out of the atmosphere and crack up so they can form long chains.
Oil is totally 100% renewable. It is only "cheap oil" that is non-renewable.
This way you could say that everything is renewable. It makes the word renewable completely meaningless.
You could smash an atom and 'renew' it by fusion.
This is not what renewable means in this context tho.
I was talking about renewable energy.
The oil is just a natural carrier for sun energy.
And we use much more of this sun-energy-stored-in-oil than the sun could ever replenish.
Hence, the oil (carrying the energy) must run out.
We already used up more than half the available crude oil in about 100 years and oil consumption is still rising.
But that was also the easy-to-get part and now the rest needs to be fraked etc and is getting more and more expensive.
To make oil from it's ingredients as you suggest you need more energy (the stuff we actually want) then you would get out by burning the oil.
So we cannot make it ourself. Oil is actually countless sun-hours of energy stored in the ground.
It cannot be re-created (in fact, not even close) in the same time that we use it up and it would cost energy we don't have.
Carbon doesn't form long chains in the atmosphere. Fat chance you can fish in the air for polymers.
So really, from our perspective crude oil is a pretty much completely non-renewable resource...
Does anyone remember what Saddam announced just a few months before being invaded from the democratic USA?
They would have started to sell their oil in Euros.
(think about the power you have owning the currency that anyone wants only to buy oil)
Secondly, we don't need a super super billion dollar economy crashing in the 100M dollar economy of bitcoin, thank you.
Btw: bitcoin will begin to go mainstream in 500 days from now. I will bet my money on that.
