Comment Re:Who would sign on? (Score 1) 157

Bitcoin doesn't need founders anymore. Yeah, the guy that has the genisis block under his control is going to be super rich. This is all the more reason to get some of the bitcoins under your control while they are still under 1k. Unless you like being a slave? Cryptocurrency has infinite upside risk. Image a future where bitcoin is the only currency accepted, one coin cost a million dollars and you don't have any because you thought it was a scam for suckers. Who is the sucker if it plays out like this?

What are we so skeptical about? Do you honestly think investors and bagholders will stop trading bitcoins for US dollars at some point in the future and all this will go away? You are the one who needs to dream on. Buy in now or cry in 10 years. You were all here. You could have all bought in for under 1k a bitcoin. Or you can all continue to believe it's a just a scam for suckers. Life is all about choices.

Get serious, bitcoin has a 10 billion dollar market cap. 28 million sold at once will drive the price down for sure, but new money will come in to buy the cheap bitcoins and the price will go back up. You can't make a bitcoin worthless unless you kill or otherwise discourage all the humans intersted in owning larger and larger amounts of them.

There is going be a lot of idiot millionaires out there. You are just jealous. Anybody that holds US dollars expecting their buying power to stay steady is an idiot. At least when you buy a bitcoin you know the value is going to go up and up beacuse the primary stakeholder will continue to pump and dump the currency for massive profit. After each pump and dump cycle the currency has a higher floor and your buying power is increased.

That's the idea. I know I'm late to the party but I'm getting on board so I can get in line to owning all you suckers that were too oblivious to buy in. Crypto favors the early adoptor. Just because you didn't want to pay off the 2009 guys, you will be paying me off in 2015 when you finally figure out what is going on. If you don't, somebody else will. Some African with an internet connection will buy my fractions of a bitcoin and other coins, and I'll be one of the richest in the world, only behind those that got in before me.

Comment What would be best for me? (Score 1) 400

I use winamp in my carputer. These days I keep a playlist of .flv music video files that I download from youtube. 7 inch screen and I have a mouse for control. I don't even know if winamp was even ever the best solutuion for me, but it seems to work OK. Should I stick with it or does anybody know something better. Running an atom 330 board btw.
