[@martinlutherkingjr.5582]

Really? So you had $1.88 million back in 2013 to throw into Bitcoin? How much are you worth now?

[@slickrick5811]

It wasn't that easy; you get tempted to take profits too early especially after recovery from a a massive crash so yeah...you make money, but not diamond hands money

[@abdul361]

You probably would have sold after it reached $1,000 or after you had experienced your first bear market thinking it was all over!

love the vision of benioff on steve. tks for that.

[@Vention1MGTOW]

The difficulty of buying my first bitcoins was vastly less than applying for my first credit card. Now that was a pain in the butt! And as bitcoins get more popular, they'll probably start taking market share away from credit cards. Some people might not even care to hold credit cards anymore.

[@iga123s]

Guys were ahead of the game! thats the difference, they were thinking outside of box

[@dylandowdy3687]

those 4 dudes all new bitcoin would either go over 1 million per coin or 0. So at that time the reward was much bigger than the risk. Even bitcoin price of $60,000 per coin . The potential reward for holding bitcoin is much bigger than the potential lose. Not holding bitcoin is almost a risk at this point.

---/--- Bitcoin will get the ETF license (and go past $1,000) and then bankers will search for a new, ETF 2.0c. IxCoin fits perfectly in this scenario. Do your own research and good luck.

You can take the ETF and shove it. An ETF is just a way to make it easier to manipulate the price of bitcoin, wall street style.

so, i do believe bit coin has a lot of potential but : my big concern are 1/ its not user-friendly ( it s not delivering in making things simpler) . 2/ its a hassle to protect from hackers that would want to steal them from u 3/ i m worried banks will have enough pressure to stop the growth ( because overall its not really good for them ) even if they change to be banks that do services in bit coin , they ll have much more competition since it would become a decentralized worldwide currency. 4/ i hope they patch it with the decentralized DNS system from Namecoin , i don't see why they couldn't implement it. 5/ lastly , it seems that only few people own almost 50% of bit coin , wich mean they have way too much control over it… a government can control the economy with only owning 4% … it seems unfair and uneconomically balanced that kick-starters/founders can just regulate the future of $$$ shared by now millions users.

[@dglass81]

Hackers that want to steal them from you? Store them offline. That's the whole point.

[@madeinfrance06]

yes but its not practical … its supposed to be a digital money , able to move around easily …

[@lhagiduty]

The frenchy I believe something of that kind is already there. But without regulations is not. I do not believe something like this cannot go without regulations tho. There should be someone responsible for it. Atleast people knew who Nikolas Tesla was lol. Right?

The interviewer is knowledgeable but she's not engaging the full panel. Requiring each of them to awkwardly do "to add to that..", "to elaborate on that ...". Lousy interviewer. Don't invite people if you don't know how to handle them. One of the winklevosses hardly had a few sentences to say in the whole interview
