If you only risk what you have in the worst case scenario you will have less but you won't collapse and others won't either.
I guess one argument which can be done against it is that the supposed advantage of lower transaction fees isn't really working currently since people will exchange other currencies to bitcoins at a cost, because in the end people want something else than bitcoins (including items and services.)

As far as transaction costs goes I suppose banks could try to compete in that area if they wanted to. Guess nothing say it should be super expensive (relative) with other kinds of money, then again I don't see how they would want to lower prices at the moment.

Slashdot Mirror
Betting on the latest started up one because "Bitcoins have become so expensive already! This one is cheap!" seem like a worse idea.
That's what all the cars are for.

Nah that's humans using it more than necessary on themselves and even worse food stock.
What now atheists? You better hope it doesn't flood again.
Your god is such a bastard.
What about nibbling some of it all away the whole time it's stored? As tax of wealth?
But then it may be hard to convince people to use it.

The name make sense.
Jolla is created by former Nokia employe(s) and Sailfish is a continuation of MeeGo which was a Nokia OS.
When Stephen Elop had had become CEO of Nokia and revealed the future direction about how they would ditch Symbian, just relase one MeeGo phone and switch over to Windows Phone he compared the situation to a burning oil platform where you may not want to jump into the cold water but ..
And if you look back at that and where Nokia went it isn't all that weird that someone took their little boat http://www.trabatsakuten.nu/batbilder/jollar_roddbatar/images/Jolle2.jpg and row away with MeeGo and see where that would take them :)
... faster than light!

They answered that themselves:

So something like "not much, but at least we're trying."
.. with more or less everything else broken into how secure should I really feel using it?
Damnit. Wish I had typed it five times in a row then. Guess prior work for part of the process isn't enough :(
Bwah.
Great depression was out of greed where people bought for possible higher gain with loaned money without being able to handle the risk / losses.

Imagine a beowulf cluster of imagined beowulf clusters!
Wish I had mod points.
Sure he post it in the style of a flame-bait but it's still insightful :)
What if I watch /b/?
Yeah, maybe, see yelling rape after Assange. (Not saying that isn't true, I don't know the details or reality.)
Sure they are.
As for the later how many do you think got a million+ dollar in bitcoins? Is there even 100 people who have that?
I guess one argument which can be done against it is that the supposed advantage of lower transaction fees isn't really working currently since people will exchange other currencies to bitcoins at a cost, because in the end people want something else than bitcoins (including items and services.)

Why would one lose ones credibility because of that?
If anything I wouldn't trust someone who doesn't watch porn..
They may have been right, in some time frame. (or they wasn't.)
lol @ 5 insightful.

Video games isn't "videos", they are "games", as such they require your participation.
Doesn't take a genius to stack Lego bricks.
Also one very popular game is more or less playing with Lego bricks but in a grander scale and less tactile. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHH0y5aPqDI
