Does anyone here use Bitcoins?
Renegade:
Also interesting, an article on a hitpiece on Bitcoin:
http://www.libertariannews.org/2012/11/04/bitcoin-fear-mongering-by-an-mba-school-ranking-website/
The video is just silly. Everything it describes can be said about paper money as well. Just a bunch of idiots.
Tinman57:
I'd love one of those - or two, frame them showing both sides.
I'll repeat: "where's the link?" (apparently there's been a few versions already released but I couldnt find these ones)-tomos (October 04, 2012, 03:33 PM)

I have not purchased from any of those places, so I can't vouch for them, but they all seem ok.

Darn Renegade, you missed a perfect opportunity to use:

Just to make people feel sick, if you'd have bought some bitcoins when this thread was started, you'd have 7.5x your investment.
Anyone else want to cry?
40hz:
^Out of curiosity - exactly where and how do you spend them? From what I've personally seen, there isn't much I'd be all that interested in I could use them for. At least so far. But I don't do much in the way of transactions I'd feel the need to stealth, so maybe I'm just not part of that demographic where 'buyer anonymity' seems to be the major selling point.
So I'm genuinely curious...just how usable for mainstream purposes are they as of right now?

Yup.:P How about the people who got their accounts cleaned out in any one of several net heists successfully perpetrated on various Bitcoin exchanges? News like this or compilations like this don't exactly give me warm fuzzies...
How bitcoin users seem to imagine bitcoin exchanges.
Except even better!
What a real bitcoin exchange most likely looks like.
Not that there's anything wrong with it

@Ren - sorry. Couldn't resist. :P (Definitely have way too much free time on my hands these last two days.) ;) :) :Thmbsup:

40 Hz is quotalicious, so I shall fold and spindle his post ruthlessly!
First: Are Bankers like the goblins in the Harry Potter snip?
Second: Does this describe how much time you have on your hands?

More seriously:
Bitcoins gets my vote for Top-25 most innovative / disruptive concepts this last decade. (A NEW currency!?) Yeah, I agree with the *current* flaws, but long haul, it's something that will either be standard old hat in 10 years or relegated to "only something terrorists use".
