It is so simple that it is ridiculous. How can I be a millionaire by just investing $60. Guess what? My friend had bought 0.5% of all bitcoins existing in 2010 (it cost less than $10k to do it). He told me to do likewise. I said: "Bitcoin is so small I don't care." He said: "When it is big, it just costs more to have the same number of them."
Am i the only one that is super surprised that satoshi and bitcoin made it to that list I voted but my prediction for the winner is either snowden or the pope.
Maybe Obama will win for the same reason he won the Nobel prize in 2009
For killing arabs/muslims and doing pretty much the exact opposite of everything he said he would/wouldn't do?
I was wondering if Satoshi could win something like this or Time's Person of the year award or whatnot. Didn't Anonymous win it one year?
I'd vote for Edward Snowden. I'm not sure Bitcoin has broken through enough into the mainstream yet. Maybe next year.
Exactly And i agree about voting for Snowden. There has been a lot of talk about the whole controversy for him not to win. Not to mention that technically Satoshi hasn't been directly involved in the bitcoin community for a long time.

I dunno, those drones seem like an ok idea but unusable in the real world. At least at this moment.

Windows 8 is a pain in the ass and just trendy crap.
Don't say that!
Windows 8 and 8.1 are great continuations of Windows 7! If you don't like Metro UI, just download little program called "StartIsBack" or remove registry key and have standard Windows 7, but much faster!
I don't like offtop, so: I have Win 8 now and everything works - from Bitcoin/Litecoin client, Electrum to mining on P2Pool and cgminer. 0 problems
That's the problem with Windows 8. It's a pretty good OS but it shouldn't force you to use Metro. It's just complicated and unproductive for PC. It might be good for tablets but not for PC.
