Bitcoin Tops $1,000 For the First Time
An anonymous reader writes with this bit from The Next Web "Bitcoin hit a new milestone today, passing the $1,000 mark for the first time. The virtual currency is currently trading above the four-digit figure, with its highest at $1,030 on Mt. Gox, one of the largest exchanges. Last week, Bitcoin's high for the day was $632. That means its trading value has surged 62.83 percent in a week, assuming we're looking at just its high points. That figure could of course rise even further if Bitcoin continues to push further up throughout the day."
why didn't I buy 1,000 bitcoins when they were $50 a few years ago!!!
Nonsense, it'll keep skyrocketing in perpetuity! Adios Beanie Babies, daddy found himself a new gravy train. Choo choo!
It'll keep climbing forever. Trust me.

Seriously, its your protection against money printing.
Nope, he's old school, pickax and wheelbarrow. The black lung is a bitch though.

Er, I mean... Ah... pay no attention to the man behind the curtain! Sell bad!

Selling bitcoin now isn't tempting fate so much as cutting off your nose to spite your face.
At a sudden $1000 per bitcoin, that's a really generous return on spite.
