The amount of money made till now isn't that much.
How do you mean, the amount of money made till now?That's easy: 9286150 BTC.
And it's supposed to take 100 years to reach 21 million? I don't see that happening

I'm in business form 05.2011 but and read much about it but still not convinced enough to be sure it is a real thing. The amount of money made till now isn't that much. Any Mall makes more monthly budget than those made till now.
With such metrics, you won't be convinced before it's already obvious to everyone. But then your opinion would have no value.

Hey, look, we have a BTC tag now! FTFY

Yeah, guys, i expected answers like this, because mainly my idea was to be proved wrong. I'm in business form 05.2011 but and read much about it but still not convinced enough to be sure it is a real thing. The amount of money made till now isn't that much. Any Mall makes more monthly budget than those made till now. By the way I strongly suggest you to watch Zeitgeist movies. And one russian movie called Пирамида.
I think bitcoins will succeed only till the mining process finishes. Then all the people invested in it will be the really f*gs, cos, nobody is going to buy their bitcoins and the price will stay the same forever until they quit this shit 
. That's why I sell everything i made every day. The positive side of whole sh*t is that those people that will stay at last with some numbers and many lost real money will actually help world economy by losing those dollars, euros etc.
You seem to think that Bitcoin is mostly about mining. Well, you're wrong. . That's why I sell everything i made every day. The positive side of whole sh*t is that those people that will stay at last with some numbers and many lost real money will actually help world economy by losing those dollars, euros etc.Furthermore you seem to make a distinction between Bitcoin and 'real money'. Well, you're wrong again.

The block subsidy will eventually drop to zero (sometime around the year 2140), but the block subsidy is not the only mining reward: miners also receive transaction fees, which will provide sufficient incentive for miners to continue their efforts after the block subsidy has ceased.

Btw, what does it mean when an ignore button is orange? Is that a suggestion or sth? 
The blockchain data can be easily compressed, collapsed, or otherwise stored more efficiently without any changes to the protocol. This is merely a client issue that can (and will) be improved in new client versions soon.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush...

I do now. ;-) Question is, will this happen before or after the blockchain doesn't fit on a 1TB drive anymore. Just noticed this morning the blockchain is reaching close to 2 GB. It's becoming more and more of a burden on the system partition... And when noone has a hard drive big enough to store the whole chain, what happens then?

No worries man. It'll be back at $30 soon enough. And then $40. And $50. And $100. Think of the market size and potential audience world wide for Bitcoin, versus its supply. This sh!t is gonna skyrocket.

Take a look around : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=6.0 and you'll see many proposals regarding this issue.

I'm still pissed that I missed the $30/1 BTC rate!

This sh!t is gonna skyrocket.I on the other hand, am pissed that I missed the $2 after the Mt Gox hack. I only discovered Bitcoin when it was already back up to $5. Could have purchased a lot more bitcoins if I had found out earlier. And we'll probably never see the $2 rate again
Up 35% in two weeks. I think Bitcoins are legit.

Faisal7: Why BitCoins won't succeed? ... Because no one needs me.
Your topic question might have started an interesting philosophical discussion, if only you had supported it with a valid Nihilistic argument. But your broken syllogism makes it barely worth this "get out of the newbies forum" post.
I do find it interesting that you bothered to intentionally join the BitCoin forum if you believe your own arguments about its futility.
But one thing certain: BitCoin doesn't need you.

greg35: ... ain't mined SHIT on my CPU in the last few days.
You posted that sometime in 2012, when the documented rate for a single home computer to be successful at mining to be in the 1 to 2 year range.
Be more patient. ;-D
Or get a dedicate super computer or 32 and form a pool.

flc1984: Bitcoins have only succeeded with geeks and nerds. They layperson has neither heard of nor cares about them, they will never be a mainstream currency.
So, you're saying that, even with the increasing necessity for technological savvy in the world, that "geeks and nerds" will never be "mainstream"?
What a sad thought. And one that Bill Gates, Bill Joy, Steve Wozniak, etc. might disagree with.
