I will never put money back into Bitcoin,

Wanna bet?

I'd love to, but it's open-ended. Couldn't claim my winnings till death. Grin

What makes you so certain I would? You're not going to hit me with some "one-world currency" nonsense, are you?

Nope I am not. But I am suggesting that bitcoin's growth is explosive and pervasive, and ultimately you will be using it because there won't be anything else you can use...it's a platform. As a currency, its adoption mainstream inevitably devalues the state's currency and that currency will fail...and bitcoin or any of its evolutions or iterations will be the last currency standing by choice of the user.

Bitcoin's not going anywhere...not as a platform...and the currency will only evolve and grow. The probability you will be using it again and putting your money into it again is as certain as it is you will use the internet again, whether you put money into it directly or indirectly via other products or services that do.

So, actually you did just hit me with one-world currency nonsense. "...there won't be anything else you can use..." Come on man. I don't see how anyone can look around the crypto-space and actually say that with a straight face. Grin

Bitcoin is not the internet and doesn't scale well enough to be on such a level of global penetration. There is and will continue to be, many forms of cryptocurrency. Not to mention, fiat and an infinite number of things people can deem as valuable. This of course is why I love Ripple. Many currencies and many things of value, is the present and the future. Not a one-world currency.

I repeat, I will never put money back into Bitcoin, on pure principle and I won't miss it for a second. However, if I break that commitment, I will find this thread and update it. I'm a man of my word.
