I'm done, I can't watch bloomberg with that lag. I already lost 3x the time I spent trying to watch those videos.

Do they share the same mtgox's servers or what?

Bloomberg should halt streaming.  8)

not one of the skeptics understand what the hell they're talking about.  amusing and frustrating at the same time.

Richard is a douche-bag.

Quote
"Richard, from a security standpoint, or perhaps even a business standpoint, is there enough transparency into the world of bitcoins?"

"No, it's got law enforcement very concerned about this. ... drugs, blah blah blah, money laundering blah blah blah ..."

Way to not answer the question and to spout some FUD instead.

Can I who live in Europe buy pizza from pizzaforcoins? Also it's not practical with the skyrocket fees to buy anything from bitcoinstore so my chances of buying anything with Bitcoin are pretty slim..

Yeah still I can buy domain names from Namecheap, I can buy from wordpress although I don't need their services...
though 9flats seems interesting.

Bitcoin can't progress and do world-domination from day 1. We take it in steps...
Otherwise tell me where do I buy my food with Bitcoin in Sweden?
