Hypothetically, if a new crypto was invented today; one which offered anonymity and could only be mined by CPU, do you think there is enough time left to make a difference? Do you think that a year and a half to two years would make enough of a difference to cushion the impact of the world bearing down on us? I'm concerned that we're already out of time and can only brace for impact.

I tend to agree with just about everything I've read in this thread and I hate it because it really magnifies the scope of our situation. Bitcoin was created for a reason; a damn good reason. Be your own bank, make anonymous transactions; it's your money and nobody can tell you how to spend it, nor do they have any business knowing how much you have. Bitcoin should indeed be mined by CPU only and Bitcoin should be mined rather than purchased...

Coinbase has my info, there is no anonymity for me. When everything falls apart, they can come for me.

I don't care about the price of Bitcoin, it's nothing more than a speculative investment now. I feel despair right now because I'm living within an irrational system where the only logical outcome is complete and total collapse. I feel like every attempt to secure wealth is an act of futility. We're all just ducking and covering before the bright burning flash. I fear the new world will be unrecognizable and hostile when compared against the one before it.

I've been thinking about history, reading quotes from Russia and Germany written by some of the citizens who were taken from their homes and hauled away. I fear history will repeat itself and this time there will be no intervention. Nature will run its course. How many people will walk quietly into the night only to face their death as a prisoner? There's no room in the new world for the poor or middle class, what they're asking for is genocide...

2016 is the year, I've been saying it now for 2 years. There's no way to be ready for it, we just need to do the best we can. I hope I'm wrong...
