If you just wanted to look at it, you can have a decent artist paint you a good replica for a small fraction of the price. You can't do that with bitcoin.
Well, I could sell you one Dogecoin for one Bitcoin. They're not the same, but it's a pretty good replica since they're both crypto-currencies based on blockchain technologies.
You know, "Hey, Joe... can I have a slice of pizza for a bitcoin?"
For the first ever so-called official transaction, 10K Bitcoins were exchanged for two pizzas.
So even if Bitcoin goes down to the value of a slice of pizza, assuming eight slices per pizza, that still means Bitcoin would be worth 625 times as much as the first transaction.
Probably not in a single transaction, but if you look at the "Canadian Bitcoin Index you'll see there's between 500 and 900 Bitcoins worth of transaction every day, for those four exchanges alone.
Let's say 500 Bitcoins with a value of 12K$CAD each, that's 6 million Canadian dollars per day.
Even if you limit yourself to selling one Bitcoin per hour, that's not even 5% of the total daily exchanges happening in the country.
Now imagine exchanges in other countries which have a lot more transactions happening every day, you could probably sell 10 or 20 Bitcoins per hour without making a blip on the overall market.
If we were able to really know the currency usage for all black markets worldwide, I'm pretty sure the U.S. dollar would be at the top of the charts, maybe followed by the Euro, etc. Bitcoin would be near the bottom of that list.
Using Bitcoin for anything illegal is stupid because as soon as you connect a transaction to a person or account, you can trace ALL transactions on that Bitcoin wallet address.
In order to test the memory when it was constructed, Kilburn and Tootill designed an elementary computer, officially known as the Small-Scale Experimental Machine, but better known as “Baby”. The computer could store just 32 instructions or numbers using a single cathode ray tube. The machine first worked in June 1948, taking 52 minutes to find the highest factor of 2, involving about 3.5m arithmetic operations.
Dear Martin Campbell-Kelly, can you please explain what the fuck is 3.5 metres arithmetic operations?
Blackberry's ad to mock Motorola's ad that mocks the Samsung ad that's mocking Apple.
Alternative post: “Yo Dawg, I herd you like mocking, so I put a mock in your ad so you can mock while you mock.” Or something. Sorry if I didn't do it right, I'm not black.
The only purpose-built movie prop to have ever sold for more is Marilyn Monroe's "subway dress" from The Seven Year Itch (1955) which was sold by Profiles in History for $5,520,000 (including buyers premium) in 2011.
Bitcoin is currently worth 9269.00 U.S. dollars. Dogecoin is currently worth 0.0020 U.S. dollar. If Dogecoin goes up to 1.00 U.S. dollar, that means it increased in value by 500 times. For Bitcoin to go up in value 500 times it would have to be worth 4.634 million U.S. dollars.
Now, which do you think will happen first?
Buy $20 worth of Dogecoins today (10K coins) and maybe your $20 will be worth $10K one day. And if it crashes, then you only lost $20.

Bitcoin is not so new anymore.
I think it's going to die the same way BSD and Apple have been dying for decades now.
Watch the ads as if they're really short movies, to be entertained instead of learning something.
It's worth watching the Samsung had if only for the haircut of the guy waiting in line for the iPhone X. I found that very funny.
And it's worth watching the Motorola ad, just because AFAIK it's the first time a sequel for an ad was made by a competitor. Also funny.
Depends on how they do it.

There. Happy now?
That was 20 years ago. Today we don't get those kinds of performance leaps anymore.
This happens so often that I think we need a new mod:

As long as this feature doesn't add bloat and doesn't slow down Firefox, there's no harm done.
Wouldn't hurt to buy $20 worth of Dogecoins.

The world's largest futures exchange, CME, is planning to list bitcoin futures in the second week of December.
There you go.
Buy Dogecoins NOW! One day, its value may go up to one dollar per coin!
Move to Canada! Bitcoin has been over $10K for a over a week and it's now over $11K!
The same thing happened in King's Quest II and I'm pretty sure all the zones were flat.
