    A mash-up of components without software and without online services would be as useful as a rock.

    What about all the services included with the iPhone? Email account, iMessages, Facetime, iCloud, App store (some applications are free but Apple still has to run all the backend even if you never buy anything there).

    There's also all the engineers to pay for designing the hardware, all the software developers to pay for writing iOS and all the included programs.

    Would you leave your money at a currency exchange counter? No. Those guys could be gone next week.
    Would you leave your money on the street? No. Someone would pick it up and run away.
    Would you tell strangers your bank account password? No. They would hack into your bank account.

    There, simple.

    It's not about Helvetica working or not working.

    Apple has its fonts. Microsoft has its fonts. Adobe has its fonts. It's about IBM having it's own font, too.

    How is Bitcoin "prone to theft"? Don't leave your coins on any exchange, don't use an online wallet, don't tell your secret key to anyone.

    It's not that hard.

    He could still invest $70 and own 1% of a Bitcoin. There's currently 8 decimal places to divide a Bitcoin so even 1% is still a lot.

    There's not going to be enough Bitcoins that each millionaire on the planet could ever own 1 Bitcoin each. I'd say owning 1% of a Bitcoin is still a lot better than none at all. And he already owns 30% of one. If he can afford to buy 50 dollars' worth of Bitcoin each week, let him do it.

    I'm still kicking myself for not buying Bitcoins when I first heard about them right here on Slashdot. And I'm still kicking myself for not buying Dash, Litecoin and Monero when they were below $2 each.

    Even if Bitcoin falls, there's dozens of other cryptos already lined up to take its place.

    Ethereum keeps having problems so I'm writing it off, Litecoin should be the logical choice since AFAIK it's existed the longest after Bitcoin. Next up could be Dogecoin, Monero, Vertcoin, etc.

    Any takers for Flappycoins, though? I got about 7.75 million of those for sale. Any takers at 10 satoshi each?
