R u trolling me? nao I madzz

Does 30 pages count as a book?

Could BitCoin ever be backed by Gold or some other commodity in the following fashion? And would it be desirable to do this?
Assume for the sake of argument that all 21 million coins were in circulation as of just today.  Suppose some rich reputable entity (Bill Gates or the Pope) bought up all bitcoins at market price (29 cents) for $6,090,000.   Some amount of gold is purchased, placed in a vault in Switzerland, and the coins are sold back to the public for some amount of money which the market will bear in such a manner that Bill or the Pope take no loss or gain.  Does that back the currency so that it is tied to the price of gold, similar to the way that everyone seems to want the US to have stayed on the gold standard?

Clearly I have not thought this through, but is there way to later back a fiat currency, or must it be done from the outset?  Further, is it desirable to do this?

I also started a thread for Beginners in the Mining forum feel free to drop by

This forum is for people who *want* btc and have something to offer in exchange.

What I can do is fix a price with you now, to be filled in a week or two when you get money into Dwolla or Mt Gox. That way you won't be trampled by more price increases. But I'm not really interested in selling at the current price, so there'll be a markup.

For $100 I will sell you, eternalcold, 5.264 bitcoins. That comes out to about $19.00
each. You have until 22:00 UTC to accept this deal, at which point I'll put the bitcoins in escrow at ClearCoin. You'll then have until June 18 to make payment via Dwolla, Mt Gox, or BitcoinMarket.

If you miss the deadline for acceptance, I may make another one depending on the state of the market at that point.

If you accept this offer, PM me.

I am willing to pay 5 2.5 1 BTC for anybody who would write an article and authorized me to publish it under the public domain. Pitch an idea to me and I will think about it. If I like your idea, you will get a 4 days deadline to write your article and 3 days deadline to finish your final draft.

I am one of the most reliable employer on the market. As of May 24th, 2011,  22 articles out of 29 articles on BitcoinWeekly were somebody's writing or drawings that I paid for. The rest were written by me.

See http://bitcoinweekly.com for all the articles that been published on the site.

At the moment, I am looking for articles dealing with:

1. Cryptography
2. Bitcoin economics
3. Stories. Especially business stories detailing your exploit and your failure in the bitcoin economy.
4. Technologies.
5. History.

So, as you can see, I like all things to be related to bitcoin. It's not a full fledge magazine in technology or whatever.

If you like the magazine, don't forget to donate bitcoin to me at the address I listed on Bitcoin Weekly website. Those donations help pay for the magazine's very existence.

WHY?

Why Chinese? Why Chinese students? Is this kinda strange taste of the administrator?

I am just surprised. It just make no sense.

Consider the scenario where Bitcoin fails to get any sort of traction in the real world, its value ultimately implodes, and it ends up failing as either an alternative currency or as a store of value.  Moreover, this scenario occurs purely due to market forces, ie, there is no government crack down or any action against Bitcoin by The Powers That Be™.  Perhaps it simply happens that tomorrow someone starts Inflato-coin, a digital P2P currency based on Bitcoin but with the "tiny" difference that instead of a hard-cap on the total number of coins, Inflato-coin has an inflation rate that asymptotically approaches 1% or 0% or whatever small number without ever actually being 0%.  And it just so happens that Inflato-coin manages to overtake and eclipse Bitcoin.

There's no shortage of people warning on this forum and on the wider blogosphere that Bitcoin's builtin deflation may lead to the above scenario and thus ultimately to its demise. And I know there's a fair amount of Austrian School apologists in this forum who simply dismiss these warnings without further ado.  But would the realisation of this scenario lead Austrians to reconsider their views on Economic theory?

(Obviously the dual scenario also applies.  Should deflation turn out not to be a problem for Bitcoin's success, then inflationistas (me included) may need to revise their assumptions.)
