Title: New Bitcoin Article? Post by: stsbrad on August 24, 2011, 03:08:27 PM This might be a repost, not sure. Have you seen the front page of npr.org? "Should you bank on Bitcoin?"
How can these people be so negative? They get some law student from harvard and they say "bitcoin will not be there in x amount of years". How can anyone possibly say that?

Post by: spruce on August 24, 2011, 03:19:22 PM I didn't listen to the audio, but if you read their article dated today (http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2011/08/24/138673630/what-is-bitcoin?ps=cprs) you'll see that they had trouble buying bitcoin, eventually getting $40 worth by visiting Bruce and paying cash. They then ate lunch at Meze's Grill and succeeded in paying for it from their mybitcoin account. Later, they lost their change when mybitcoin did its thing. I can understand them not being too enamoured with bitcoin yet.
