Topic: xkcd's bitcoin hole - page 2. (Read 21897 times)
He was on #bitcoin-otc yesterday (I was so excited!) He said he took it down because he didn't want to endorse something purely for profit. He is still using bitcoin, though.
I was worried about that, too. But it payed out to 150 to and address and 50 to another, then misc.
Hopefully, he'll just have a nicer page for it!

I wonder if it was really a black hole, a randomly generated address that no one actually owns the private keys for...
His black hole is gone? The page is blank! http://xkcd.com/bitcoin/
Well, I guess it was really a black hole, as this guy probably lost interest in bitcoin and dropped his wallet. Too bad for him, imho.

I don't know how recent this pic is, but I've only just seen it:
it's 512 in xkcd timeline, current strip is 897. don't know how to put that exactly on a timeline, 2.5 years old (roughly) if published 3x a week.
I don't know how recent this pic is, but I've only just seen it:
If that guy didn't spend his money for a pizza, if every bitcoin holder was willing to hoard them, bitcoin would have never reached the 6 dollars mark.
... it is not that simple. Supply, demand and knowledge of future market expectations weigh heavily.
A new currency can't reach the point of being valued at $6 per coin, without passing through the intermediate point where it is valued at 10000 coins for a couple of pizzas.

It was a really smart move.
In a bizarro world maybe ... in the real world he dumped $50,000 on a couple of pizzas. Time to get real?
It's exactly like saying that you can spend now the average annual salary of your grand-grand parents for a video game. How stupid is that? And think about Satoshi himself! He could have generated the whole bitcoins alone in his basement and earn 21*6 millions of dollars! He was really stupid to not do that and to release his software before every coin was mined.

We are well off topic, I can see where you are coming from but it suffices to say, it is not that simple. Supply, demand and knowledge of future market expectations weigh heavily.

I feel bad for the guy
I don't at all.
Either he's hoarding a lot more of bitcoin and he doesn't care, either he was a fool to spend all of his bitcoin.
Also, don't forget that it is how economy works. If everybody seats on his money, the money is worthless. By buying this pizza, he increased the circulation of money, increased awareness about bitcoin. It was a really smart move.
If the two pizzas for 10,000 BTC doesn't make it into a xkcd strip it should ... I feel bad for the guy but it is funny reflection on human values system in many ways
C'mon Randall, toss us a bone, you know you want to ... geeks with outrageous computer projects ... what more material can you ask for?
Want to send 3.14 bitcoins. If only I had more money
