But what decides the haircut to token exchange rate? That's the point. Money is just another something to exchange, not something special in and of itself.
As a Bitcoin advocate, I think it's more likely that people fear what they don't understand. There's this new thing out so people (news services) are looking for the scary stories. Criminal activity in Bitcoin usage is dwarfed by that in the USD, even proportionally
By default, most people will make large purchases with money they got straight from an ATM (or teller).
I don't think they're doing this by any stretch but I'm not sure they're not and given the way things are moving, it can only be a matter of time, I suspect.
Once you have bitcoins, it's not hard to transfer them to another address. Who owns that address? Consider also coin tumblers and similar schemes. This is what laundering is about after all. Moving money around to disguise its provenance.
Still, who would use Bitcoin when you can just launder your money through a large bank who will only receive a slap on the wrist when caught?
I moved from DSL to cable because Netflix was spending too long buffering. Supposed to be about 10x faster on the downstream but still that little spinning circle is a way-too-frequent experience. Keeping the cable though as it help with the "fallback" viewing method.

Which is why Bitcoin is modeled more after bit-torrent than Napster.
I stopped after ep 2. If nothing else, it looked like cancel-fodder.
It comes pre-green-markered.
Connectbot suffers from a lack of landscape mode. There are a few other things that would make it more usable also. It's free though.
I believe that would make you a grammar Nazi, not troll.
Pair that with openid so that you don't have to do this for *every* site and you might be getting somewhere.
Obvious troll is obvious.
Ah yes, I remember also when those evil Republicans devastated the used car market with that "cash for clunkers" programme.
Oh, wait...

Now we have Beta shills? ;)

Except that they like to inflate the currency to extract value from holders and to keep an eye on transactions, particularly those exceeding $10,000.
Though if you think of cash as a commodity used in barter, a whole lot of things suddenly make sense.

This is interesting. Might be a good idea to start saving bills made from change. Still not completely foolproof but at least one level removed.

Nah, it's based on "Kimba, the White Lion". I thought everybody knew that by now.
Don't worry, it's not the real Olympics anyway.
So if it was worth less than $10B and it went crashing down, what is it now worth that is not less than $10B?
You would thing that if you were to look at things superficially. But who is to say that a torrent has lower priority than voice?
The better way to do it is to allow the end-user to set priority with safeguards to prevent abuse.

To all those not in this jurisdiction, you simply don't exist and are only a figment of your imagination.
Not that I agree with what he said but the left's willingness to lie and distort is shameless.
Faux outrage at words that clearly had a different meaning than what was claimed.
It's pronounced "Parté"
