I'd like to see how well one asshat with a pile of guns and ammo would fare against a swat team... :P oh right, we do see that every day. Title: Re: bitcoin article on yahoo Post by: Melbustus on March 29, 2013, 08:15:29 PM Yeah, the comments on that one reminded me of articles written in late 2011. The level of ignorance is astounding, even considering it's Yahoo/CNBC!
The article itself wasn't *that* bad, though the "digital dollars" in the title makes me squirm a little.

But you're welcome to hit ignore, if it bugs you so. That's all on you, and has nothing to do with anybody else.
