some of the comments are hilarious:

So, if I understand this, companies can "earn" money, Bitcoins, by winning a puzzle game. They then expect others to accept these game guessing prizes for goods and services at increasingly inflated rates. Of course, no hacker would ever be able to break into the system and write some new coins for himself, or redistribute some others stockpiled.

How long before hackers break into the system?

you could make a lot of bitcoins making a bitcoin game that makes you bitcoins

Silicon Valley has a seemingly endless capacity to mistake social and political problems for technological ones

So true - I'm trying to think of the top 5 or 10 examples and where Bitcoin would rank amongst them

when all youve got is a compiler

No one deserves to be robbed on Christmas. Through stupidity or otherwise.

heh

its pretty funny how bitcoins lack of fraud protection/dispute resolution is pitched as a feature

credit card companies might be usurious but they do serve some purpose

its just like cash that you leave lying around on the internet!

5h I think it would attract more people if you cleaned up the btcdoubler site and maybe removed the santa/flipping off picture..
4h Any updates?

that was my favorite part

A GROUP of self-described anarchists, libertarians and Ron Paul supporters fleeing the crumbling world economic system have founded Galt's Gulch, a community in Chile inspired by Ayn Rand's “Atlas Shrugged”—and with an economy based entirely on Bitcoin. Or that's the goal, anyway.

yo rand fans really calling themselves anarchists now

lion laying down w the lamb right now

yeah 'anarcho-capitalist' has a lot of uh currency these days, whether or not they're 'really' anarchists and whether or not they should be let into various anarchist fb groups is endless lolz

there shd be a larger category thats just like "people who love meetings" or whatever

Self-described anarcho-capitalists are probably 100% committed to capitalism, but are committed to anarchy only insofar as they think it might make it easier to get sex and drugs, or possibly make them richer. I further note that the truly rich are never anarchists.

just think youd have hundreds of thousands of illiquid pretend currency now

maybe she means hundreds of thousands of dollars/pounds worth? I don't think there were enough bitcoins in circulation five years ago for that to be a very likely story

there were a lot right off the bat bc they were v easy to mine then is my understaning

https://blockchain.info/charts/total-bitcoins?timespan=all&showDataPoints=false&daysAverageString=1&show_header=true&scale=0&address=

Bitcoin's market cap is ~11 billion and a single bitcoin is worth $927 which means there are about 12.14 million bitcoins out there right now

xp!

That graph is interesting because even though more + more people are throwing money at mining bitcoins every day the number of new bitcoins created has more or less remained constant

It is interesting, that's something that I've found kind of fascinating about the design of bitcoin (I mean I think it was more or less designed to do that).

well it i guess it comes down to what she meant by like five years ago but anyway since bitcoins were worth less than a dollar then hundreds of thousands of dollars in bitcoins wouldve been more bitcoins than hundreds of thousands of bitcoins

yeah I mean hundreds of thousands worth at todays values. Or else she could have been basing that on the current denomination in 1000ths I guess.

prob someone just offered her hundreds of thousands of bitcoins

i mean didn't someone spend like 10,000 BTC on a pizza

maybe it was hundreds of thousandths of bitcoins and she thought he just had a lisp
