I'm fairly new to the Bitcoin world, but it seems to me that ultimately (in 10 years or so) one of two things will happen:

1) Bitcoin will gain large-scale adoption. As a result, the value of Bitcoins will greatly increase from what it is today.

2) Bitcoin will fail due to government regulations, better alternatives, or other unforeseen reasons. As a result, Bitcoins will become effectively worthless.

Am I oversimplifying so far? If I'm not, then it seems like investing substantially in Bitcoins (purchasing coins) now will either make me very rich in 10 years, or I'll lose my initial investment.

By the same logic, if I earn coins by mining now and hold them, I will either be rich in 10 years, or I'll lose my mining investments.

I'm not interested in diving into mining to earn a quick 10-20k while the market fluctuates, so as a long term strategy it sounds like investing is the more sensible and less time consuming option. Thoughts?

I'm as upset as most people on here about the NSA's actions, but this is just foolish.

To Congress members, this is going to feel like an attack and a threat. People are going to want repercussions for those responsible, and now there is fresh fuel for any proponents of PRISM-like monitoring.

You could drive for Sidecar or Lyft. From what I've heard, it works pretty well for networking too.

This is very helpful feedback to hear - thank you.

roughly 2000 were in the beta

Yes - the original post was titled, "Stop building apps no one wants": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4876680

My team uses IFTTT for daily standup emails, and it's really been a huge help for us. Here's the recipe if anyone else wants to use it: https://ifttt.com/recipes/86294

Thanks and good eye (before 'e' except after 'c') - that was a slightly outdated version :)

Thanks for the tip. I don't have case studies or even testimonials yet, so that may be hurting me. This is what my sales page looks like: http://cl.ly/image/1a21191A2U16

Here's my situation: I have a product that I know 6% of 2000 users who have given me their email address will take for "free," though it requires 15-20 minutes of work for them to participate (so they must see some value here).

I originally priced it at $99, but I haven't been able to get anyone to pay that amount or $19. Do I just keep dropping prices until I can get someone to pay? Is it a fair test to email out varying "discounts" to groups of users to determine a price?

When I clicked through (excitedly) to see more details about who was visiting us from the International Space Station, I noticed that the top traffic source was a search for "April Fools." Google, you got me on this one.

We are launching the beta next week. Really glad to hear you have been spreading the word!

I like the idea and the design. This has some overlap with Launchsky (including a similar UI): http://launchsky.com

The main difference is that we're a platform for sharing ideas, and you're sharing projects that already exist. In any case, good luck with this!

Thanks! We plan to go live with our beta in 3-4 weeks, and we're already accepting pitches from our beta list. Email me at [email protected] and I'll send you a beta invite.

I would try it out. I'm also going to take this opportunity to make a shameless plug: answering the question, "Should I build this?" is precisely the goal of LaunchSky.com.

Sure, just email me.

looks like this was an accident to me.
