The problem with bitcoin.... or A problem, is you have to be interested in it to use it. I saw a shirt for sale and was quite willing to buy it but they only took bitcoin and I don't know how to convert dollars to bitcoin and the shirt wasn't worth finding out. If people want to use them, they have to tell people how when they are selling something, imho.

Nothing to see here folks. Please continue using your evaporating FRN's and everything will be OK!!
bitcoins and FRNs are about as reliable as the other if there are ways to exchange the same
I tried using linux (Xandros) for a while, but concluded that it required me to be a little more of a computer geek than I am interested in being, so I quit using it.
Likewise, but even moreso, it is unlikely that I'll ever become a bitcoin user. I'm not interested in having to fool around with learning how to even use it.
I have too many other things to learn that I AM interested in; don't have (want to make) the time to mess with bitcoins.
Thankfully Bitcoin is backed by Gold and Silver.... or not.Quote:

The reason you cannot just enter your credit card information is because Bitcoin is real money. You could possibly buy a bunch of BTC with your credit card, spend the BTC then just report that your card had been stolen or that the transation was made in error. The credit card company would likely side with you and the guy who sold you his real money would be the one holding the bag.

I used to be skeptical about bitcoins, thinking it was a silly idea; but after seeing its usage increase, I'm now thinking that it just might prevail. Just like other things involving technology or familiarization with a process, such as how to get onto the internet, getting an email account, using a smartphone, how to open and use a credit union account, how to pay online bills, how to take a commercial airline flight, how to drive, how to dial a number, etc., people will eventually figure out how to use bitcoin if it does indeed prevail in the long run.Quote:

I thought maybe we ought to come up with a competitor version of a virtual currency to bitcoins, Googled "paulcoin", and sure enough, someone else thought of this idea long ago LOL: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=41764.0

I wish I had gotten in the BTC game already.. how much is one running these days? Last I checked it was $11+
The going rate on Darkweb a couple of days ago was $8.50, IIRC.Quote:
