    The USD will hurt itself but when we consider the WWL can be used as currency itself then many ppl will stop using usd and just use "bitcoin"

    Don't stuff your dollars in the mattress and you will be alright. Stocks and bonds with dividends reinvested wins

    Over 1000 posts. Such a blessing to have birthed this thread into existence.
    I would like to thank God and Ganjarocket, for without them, none of this would be possible.

    which i never followed through with, left both within a wk or two of starting.. do you lack reading comprehension skills?

    ppl will pick and choose what they want to hear and then screw themselves and others in the process.. a BBS is no different than real life it seems

    That's no reply at all, but I guess you know I said the truth. You have no historic argument for Bitcoin and it's long-term value, so stop acting like it's the definite future and only stable currency.

    How about you donate some bitcoins to Clutch so you can edit posts instead of double and triple posting everywhere?

    The ultimate security/privacy wallet that is easy to use for anyone?

    Running this for transactional purposes and having a trezor kept in a safe with the seed key geolocated separately could be a fool proof way to get into bitcoin for anyone with significant incentive to secure their savings otherwise left to cash

    I think it's a great payment system but no way I use it for all my savings. That's as nuts as putting your savings in gold or apple stock.

    If something like that happens in America, than that means the global economic system just completely collapsed. Good luck trying to use Bitcoin in that situation and good luck hoping that Bitcoin will retain its value in that kind of situation.
