very good sign IMO.

Edit : this thread is an extension of this beast:

Gold: I Smell a Trap

What gold an Bitcoin have in common is that they are both inherent storages of value, and have two fold purpose: both can be used as an investment and as a form of currency.

MalboroMan

absolutely. i've avoided the word "investment" in deference to SOV but i kinda view them the same. clearly, i bought BTC in expectation that it would go UP in value, not just stay flat. hence, the title of this thread. the upside potential is enormous IF we can keep these apparatchiks from changing the source code which will screw up Bitcoin as Sound Money and change it into a WoW trading platform. keeping Bitcoin as Money will allow us to consume the fiat Forex markets and gold itself. we are on our way but just at the beginning. the apparatchiks will become rich if they jump on board even now. in the end, we want to force all outsiders to have to "buy in" to the BTC currency unit on the main blockchain which will send us to the Moon and provide badly needed revenue to our security providers, the miners.

Says the guy who wants to change the source to increase block size.

i don't want to do anything. but i will go along with whatever Gavin and the others decide together. if they decide to leave it, fine.

at least it will be done on mainchain and doesn't involve breaking Bitcoins sound money function.
