Mq keeping you ahead of the game, way back in June 2008 Subject 57500 [though mine was not called bitcoin which came on the scene a year later in 2009 - maybe I'm Satoshi and maybe I'm not]. You were quoted: Message 26175012 I ran out of steam to keep it up to date and did not wish to attract an NSA-powered, CIA-inspired, incoming Predator drone. Bitcoin here: Subject 59235 started in July with no posts so there's not a lot of bubblemania there. That's the Winkelvoss Trust for bitcoin. Here is the one started by Jorj in April, but there is no enthusiasm there, let along mania. Subject 59173
As a thermometer measuring the temperature of the panic crowd of preppers and public, bitcoin is doing a reasonable job. It's making headway.
The Henry Ford Model T was a mere contraption to replace the reliable, age-old, self-fueling horse, I note that the Model A soon displaced the T and my life started out roaming the country in a Model A. Now, cars vary from black to all colours including pure gold and from Hyundais and Volkswagen to the Lexus, Aston Martin, Lamborghini and the Bugatti Veyron which has a lot of horse power. Perhaps bitcoin is a contraption like the Model T. Or maybe it's a contraption like the english language.
Perhaps bitcoin is a contraption. But maybe it's going to become displaced as the Model T was and might perform a great service to humanity, namely remove money from the clutches of political people who do not understand the application of Virtuous Victorian Values which included gold as money, with the issuing bank promising to pay on demand the sum of ten shillings, or one pound, ten pounds or even 20 pounds. A 20 pound note in my childhood was a serious piece of monetary value. Ten shillings became $1 [during metrication in 1967] which was later reduced to a coin, which is now becoming a replacement for 1c due to dilution. The shilling became our 10c piece which is now brown like an old halfpenny and heading for obsolescence. A shilling was once a serious piece of money - I am sad about shillings which played such a large part in my childhood. englishhistoryauthors.blogspot.co.nz
The loss of trust and faith due to the destruction of the shilling by the political people was a crime against humanity.
