We really shouldn't be name calling.

INTRADE just banned the Americans due to the gov't regs.
Bitcoins mayhap could let all Yanks bet on the Dublin site!!!
Like bittorrent, gambling sites that accept bitcoin will exist somewhere in the world always and can't be stopped.
Bitcoin is a one world currency...but instead of asshole Bilderberg's in control, the people are. It is an escape for anyone in the world wanting to get away from their central bank.
Both are representatives of legal tender.Originally Posted by hazek
Freedom is a state of mind. Nobody can take that from you unless you let them.
Not if I say it isn't. Or you say it isn't. Or Hazek says it isn't. There is a large swath of the population that flatly reject bitcoins as tender. A poker chip belonging to a certain casino, on the other hand, isn't rejected.
That's the point. They're not synonymous. Not anymore than my hair clippings are representative of legal tender should people use them to trade for dollars. It's asinine to even pretend bitcoins have any degree of parity with a poker chip.

Some monkeys might, actually.
"We do have some differences and our approaches will be different, but that makes him his own person. I mean why should he [Rand] be a clone and do everything and think just exactly as I have. I think it's an opportunity to be independent minded. We are about 99% [the same on issues]." Ron Paul
There are more people interested in bitcoin globally than a poker chip that is only accepted at the casino it came from.
Maybe I missed your point?
Interest != Representative of Legal Tender
Ah, alright. Yeah that wasn't really an argument I cared about. I just care about what has value.
If I cared about what government considered legal tender, well, then we wouldn't get involved with half the things we do that aren't USD. I just like this story because it defies the will of governments and there isn't much that can be done about it.
If people want to continue arguing over petty stuff instead of trying to make some money for themselves, then I guess that is their business and I'll stay out of it.
You're right, I can definitely see how my post may have insulted some monkeys.
