It is a fairly obvious thing to do, yes, and thanks again.
you're welcome
Does this post make me a "senior member" here? ZOMG I needs to getz a life. 
CONGRATULATIONS! Now you can post in "Topic: You really are a TRUE bitcoiner when..." (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/you-really-are-a-true-bitcoiner-when-120779) :-)
No bad news??? There re so much talks about asics, cant see another reason.
For GPU miners, indeed this is bad news.

Yea what he said.
Also I took a snap shot of this last night WTF?
Thanks for the assistance. I'm honest and so certainly won't be trying to weasel out if I lose the wager, unless I happen to have died. So it is agreed that the wager is BTC1, down from the original BTC10.
oh, I thought it was common practice for an unrelated party to quote the bet as a simple, effective and cheap measure against people deleting posts relevant for possible dispute-resolution. Now that you told me you're honest I certainly don't think it would've been necessary.
Haha, yeah I guess not too many scammers would say "I'm a crook".
Then again, if they had any brains, they wouldn't be low enough to try to scam someone out of BTC1 or even BTC10. But yes, some peeps are that low.It is a fairly obvious thing to do, yes, and thanks again.

Would you like to bet BTC10 with me? I wager BTC10 that the price will not be equal to or above USD 15 on the stroke of February 1 2013 at 00:00 UTC. If the price is below USD 15 at that point, you pay me BTC10. If the price is equal to or above USD 15, I pay you BTC10. Sound good?
That's a bit much, lets say 1 BTC and it's a deal - I'm not a (very) betting man;)Yes, still a deal. BTC1 it is then.
quoting as witness

What possible value did bitcoin provide you in "settling small everyday stuff" that couldn't have been accomplished with dollar cash? What percent of the world do you think has vaguely any interest whatsoever in participating in the economy in this "bitcoin enthusiast" fashion?
Today, less than 0.01%. Within a few years, probably 90%. In my opinion, this will be a consecuence of the collapse of the financial system based on fiat money. Panic is a powerful driver.
Second: What makes you think the majority would head to Bitcoin?
I don't know the date; I just know this is not sustainable.
If they know how to use email, they will head to Bitcoin.
Bad analogy, since Bitcoin is not a mere protocol it includes a semi-mandatory checking system.
Might the concept or even the source code play a major role in the aftermath of a fiat-system collapse, possible who knows. But the voluntary creation of a new elite? (us, the people who already own bitcoins, not a few satoshis)
Definitely not.

Definitely, Cheap bitcoins! There is strong evidence that this is last chance before halving. Look at RSI. I hnow it is just a friday. But we are getting near end.
Exactly my thoughts; I have no idea what the sellers are doing a month before a halving but I will take it - paycheck coming in in ~4 days 
I will eat my words if the price does not climb at least 50% during December/January.
I have just started using BTC instead of Western Union and its both easier and cheaper - even if the price dropped to 0.01 I would still be using this stuff. So yeah I'm not worried about BTCs value or adoption rates.
It's good to hear that use-case is developing. Hear that story about the Iranians sending 2.5kUSD using Bitcoin to their kid who studies in the states or somewhere? Cost them $20... pretty awesome: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1291361

LOL at the people saying "No bad news."
Have you been following the news in the past months? Take the rosy Bitcoin goggles OFF.

maybe if you would be more specific we could reconsider.

I lost the Bitcoin black friday... 
Hey Mr Manipulator, I wanna buy btc<10$ too
Hey Mr Manipulator, I wanna buy btc<10$ too
This is just a weak bounce on low volume. We will drop <10 again
What do you mean? We clearly went below 10 multiple times, and it lasted way longer than just a simple spike.
Interesting than, it will go lower and lower. I will wait to buy.
Here's a nice site that shows current market depth and the price action in the last 24 hours: http://mtgoxlive.com/orders?volumeon
As you can see we've been below 10 for multiple hours. It isn't that long of course, but it's hardly a sudden spike.
