    Funny how we can have such different reactions to the thread. I've read most of it (and much more elsewhere), and my optimism for Bitcoin's future has only been strengthened. It certainly has a volatile short-term future due to it's relatively small market cap and low liquidity, but over the long term I see this as having incredible potential

    In another conversation I'm having on another site about bitcoin's, someone brought up the question about the ability for someone to write a virus or worm to create a coordinated attack on the Bitcoin network.

    "If deflation ever took off such that 100 millionths was of significant value, the system could be then patched to offer infinite division; one such proposal uses Tonal bitcoin units.

    >Market cap has pased $300m, still in its infancy in those terms, so still a good buy if you are willing to risk that it has a long-term future! Gonna be one hell of a payoff if it ends up supplanting fiat currencies the world over. How is market cap being determined, kind of like a stock?

    >What does that mean? Are you saying black holes are not real? I don't know much about physics so I want to catch up.... and if they are fake or not real, why would the establishment push so hard to prove them or lie about them?

    >what about Immanuel Velikovsky's works? Can't really say, never read him. I do know he advocates Catastrophism and I'm open to the idea, but I can't say anything specific about his works. >I recommend The Relativity of Wrong by Isaac Asimov.
