Predictions: 16K by 2018, 100K by 2025. What do you guys think?

Well I successfully did that. But had I left my original investment in it would have nearly doubled in fiat value again. C'est la vie.
If it's any consolation, I'm going to be liquidating $2M worth of BTC middle of 2018 and retiring early.
I'm already kicking myself because I know in another 10 years, that $2M i'm going to sell will be incalculably more valuable.
Then I put things into perspective and think "Well, the rest of the ~70% of my Bitcoin stash should appreciate nicely over time..."
In theory.
My partner is going to continue working for another couple years before joining me in early retirement.
Gonna be their sexy pool boy and french maid for a couple years in the meantime...
Good for you Bob. Enjoy it while you can. You only live once!

Is there any danger in holding coins on a segwit address vs a legacy address in trezor? Say if segwit got back-peddled.
I don't think so. I can't see any scenario right now where SegWit would get deprecated, at least in the foreseeable future.

All the same, there will be a drop at some point, and it will be big. At least in dollar terms. I hope everyone has a plan prepared.

I'm sure there are people on this forum that have spent hundreds of bitcoins on things like PC graphics cards back in the day.
Personally, my goal was to one day have enough btc that I could take out my original investment +20% profit in fiat value, and still have 90% left in btc.

The way I deal with this is to understand simply that I made the best decisions at the time with the information I had at the time. No regrets dude, otherwise I would still be kicking myself for dumping all my apple stock in the early 90's when they were totally fuking stupid.

Oh Bitcoin may fall. As it's zinging through space long past the moon it might eventually hit some star somewhere and "fall"....
I'd put the odds at 50% of this happening before the heat death of the universe. We'll have to wait and see....

I think you're overestimating the density of the universe. If you put a straight line from one edge to the other, the probability that you will hit any object is minuscule.

I don't buy a lot of things on Amazon but whenever I go to my purse.io to buy something I have just about the same dollar balance that I had the last time I bought something.
I like this magic Internet money.

That's nice to hear, although you won't feel so good when you calculate how much the BTC you've spent buying Amazon stuff are now worth...
As an example, I bought my TREZOR at the end of 2016, at a price of 0.1361 BTC, which is now a whopping $1000. This has got to be one of the most expensive TREZORs ever owned.
In a way, this is Laszlo's pizza story, in a much, much smaller scale.
Moral of the story: HoDL!
Spending bitcoins just makes it so that converting my salary to bitcoins is no big deal.
If I were buying something on Amazon with fiat, I could have just as easily bought bitcoins with that fiat.
But by spending bitcoins I get a 15% discount. Plus all of that time between getting paid and spending my bitcoins my currency has gained value instead of lost value.
Of course that's true, I'm not saying you shouldn't do it. After all, it's good to use BTC in everyday life. All I'm saying is that calculating the current value of the BTC we've spent on things may leave a bittersweet taste in our mouths...

About "for every rise there is a fall", well, that was Newton. With Bitcoin we are now past Einstein and there are new laws at play. In Bitcoin mathematics, there are only the (+) and (*) operators and no negative numbers. LOL!

I told a friend about BTC a year or two ago, he has a small amount on his phone. He bought a couple of things with it, but the euro value just keeps increasing.

However if you buy Ducati motorcycles with it, that stops working, I have found.

There is no such thing as magic internet money. Amazon received the fiat from stolen credit cards and shipped you the products. simple as that.

Does that magic internet money machine work for euros, incidentally?I like this magic Internet money.
Purse.io only works in a few EU countries. I think maybe France and GB. I know of a different method for Germany.
