Does anyone here use Bitcoins?
kyrathaba:
Thanks for the link. Looks pretty cool.

It's fascinating to watch, because it's all taking place rather slowly. If I were more connected and smarter in the early days etc I "shoulda/woulda" gotten my early Bitcoins then sat on them to make a living!
"Limited number of bitcoins" - so did no one else remember the story of the Black Lotus in Magic the Gathering?

You mean that same Magic the Gathering that I paid for part of college off of my collection?
Investment = $450. Return = $6000+, plus a pretty fun game.

Sure, which means you did it right, just like any "speculation", it's always possible to do it right. But then you get late "players" (in the speculation! though I see the pun!), who having finally heard about it, then do it backwards and get hosed!

I'm a MTG oldster as well. Still have some killer decks. But nobody around my rural community, that I know of, plays the game.

Exactly, meaning the "value" is becoming erratic! And even in areas that do have players, a lot of the ones I used to go to began quietly "not holding" Type 1 tourneys, thus making all of those Super Cards "valueless", which was the point I was hoping to make.

The value is as erratic as the market in anything. There is no intrinsic value in anything, other than what the market will put on it.
