Title: Are Bitcoin Transactions Included In Consumer Spending Index?
Post by: Mikerogers on May 30, 2014, 09:06:22 PM
Today the consumer spending numbers came out, and they were actually negative by .1%. I'm just curious if anyone knows, are bitcoins and other digital currencies included in this gauge or is it just tracking spending via US dollar?

if you realised how they got the numbers, you'd realise that bitcoins doesnt matter. neither does apples or banana's
