All the time I'm involved in bitcoin, I keep hearing this. We need killer app. So what is that?

I'm not talking about a single "killer app", but it's going to need a lot of apps. Without applications the blockchain is basically what TCP/IP is to the internet... it requires applications to be useful, and yes I do think these are coming over the years.


Seems to me it has already come, which is speculating and gambling. You can buy bitcoin, go to satoshi dice, and gamble it away in minutes. I suppose that's cool, but what else does it offer? You can keep saying that these applications are coming, but until then we're just riding on rainbows and happy thoughts. I could buy Solyndra stock and just keep telling myself that the day is coming when everyone will install solar panels on their rooftops and we'll live in a zero emission world of peace... but until it happens (if it ever happens) we're just hoping for an outcome and nothing more.

Satoshi dice?? No that is not a "killer app" by any means lmao

Aren't you the guy who declared 2014 would NOT be the year of bitcoin? I thought you were smarter than this. Put down the kool aid and come to your senses!

Yes I did, so you know that I know what I'm talking about  Wink
