wow, $1000 for 1 bitcoin, must be nice to get in early,

and have a pile of coins. Nice for you if you have,

but its quite expensive for people just starting out,

don't you think?

Assuming it gets to $10k then you make 10 times whatever you put in, that's still a good return. Also, Bitcoin is not about making money, it's a currency designed for real everyday use. It just benefits early adopters more. Bitcoins are very divisible.

Yes it can because there are MUCH more than 21 million ounces of gold, and new x ounces of gold mined everyday  Smiley


One day, that 21 million ceiling is going to be forcibly broken, better not get too used to it.

Enjoy it while it lasts, but don't bet the farm on it.

 Smiley




All of the changes Bitcoin could make, changing 21 million Bitcoin cap is most unlikely. Hardly anyone would support it in hard fork

I said forcibly broken, I was not referring to anyone supporting it. Government control, corrupted bitcoin foundation, corporatisation of the network. The utopian dreams of satoshi hippies will not go on forever, it's my view that the ceiling will be removed far sooner than anyone anticipates.

Just a hunch, nothing more Wink




Don't worry, it's not possible. Smiley
It's literally not possible.
Even it raises up suddenly, the same way it will fall sharply.
The last time it fell sharply we quintupled the high later. And the time before that. And the time before that...

sold my 2.6btc  at the price of 250each n then withdraw on mtgox =_= been 3 weeks still see no money and now price at 1180 on my local market FML~
That was your mistake. Never withdraw fiat from gox.

Please tell me what "FIAT" is ? And why can't it be withdrawn ? Let's take Coinbase.. If you bought 5 coins there 6 months ago and they are just sitting there in your wallet. Should I be able to go to coinbase and sell my coin ASAP ? I ask because that is my situation. I hold less, but am curious because I bought for invesment purposes only. Thanks for your reply.


Only MtGox has huge USD delay issues, sometimes months  Smiley
You should not encounter problems on Coinbase.
Did you know when you have coins at Coinbase these are not yours at all but only Coinbase owes you something. If coinbase goes bancrupt, any coins or USD there will be used for all creditors

Please tell me what "FIAT" is ? 


Simple answer: USD
Longer answer:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_money

Fiat money has been defined variously as:

any money declared by a government to be legal tender.
state-issued money which is neither convertible by law to any other thing, nor fixed in value in terms of any objective standard.
money without intrinsic value

I doubt that you can even get your $ from Mt.Gox. They are lacking FIAT that is why the price is so high there.

I have question... I Mt.Gox is lacking fiat, should it not be the other way then? If they lower the BTC/$ then would people not sell at that exhange, but buy instead, and then would their fiat increase?

Mt.Gox dont set the price, market does.
To lower USD/BTC price, they need to own Bitcoins and selling these Bitcoins...

a few years ago, before btc was popular
people viewed gold as an alternative to paper currencies.
Now gold is being shunned by everyone.
You can't compare that with bitcoin.

Quick question guys.. Do you recommend using bitstamp or mtgox? I've noticed that mtgox has a somewhat higher exchange rate.

Sorry if this question has been asked before.
