yocko06 sent me the satoshi sequence 20,8,1,14,11,1,1,25,15,21
The alphabet goes A=1 -> Z=26
two 1s in a row is a space, AA=28

I foresee that in the coming years of hyperinflation (FED has produced 3x times of money in a very short time, they will pour out soon), there will be more merchants claim that "we only accept bitcoin" 
Do you see it happening before 2015?
Its pretty much an inverse reaction. The more dollars get unpopular, the more bitcoin gets popular.

If we could find some good use of bitcoin even when the exchange price is 0, then it will flourish for sure
Bitcoins can be sent in very small amounts. I could send a message using bitcoin transactions.
E would be the lowest, at one satoshi, and Z would be twenty-six (based on this https://i.imgur.com/H5yqeKX.png). Spaces and punctuation could be accounted for too, but would cost extra to communicate. I could send a message in this way by a series of transactions in very small denominations. You would pay a few thousand satoshi to have a method of communication that is completely anonymous.
If the two communicating nodes had an agreed upon cipher they could encode messages in the values sent, and nobody watching would know what was being said, or who was saying it.
I would put money into Bitcoins just to be able to do that.
I would pay someone to develop an easy to use anon msg service though bitcoin. this would help bitcoin grow by huge proportions. It would need to work on mobile devices though.

"What is it good for if it is worth 0" is the same as saying "What is it good for when no one on Earth thinks it's good for anything or has any chance of being worth anything again".
You and/or your friends should instead spend time coming to grips with why people value it in order to see that they aren't all going to stop valuing it randomly at some point in the future.

Do you really want a house that has a market price of 0 by the way? A 'house' is not always a house.
If it looks like and acts like a house, then it's a house.

I don't know about the coin itself, but I imagine one could hang themselves with the cord to their mining rig...

Anyway, as long as this community is here, it won't
If this community is what gives value to bitcoin, what happens if it fails? The time is getting short for a valid explanation to be brought to light on this. I think it needs to be an open source solution.
This community stands for the spiritual support that believe in the bitcoin's long term success
And this spiritual support will not disappear as long as there are people who do not believe in today's debt based monetary system/infinite growth and do not want their financial freedom to be controlled by FED

When the dollar was worth zero, i'd probably exchange to euros instead 
February 24, 2013, 01:23:56 PM
What can you do with your fiat when the government calls a "bank holliday" and devalues your money to 0 ?
If you dont have a card and no checks that happens every Sunday in the Western World.
Cash still works.
Then the bank would not be required.
