Obviously there isn't a need. But trying to spread understanding and such can't be seen as a bad thing, right?

Hi all,

Just last month I went to a site which was selling some tickets and they accepted both bitcoins and fiat currency . In this case, of course I choose to pay via fiat currency because I didnt want to spend my bitcoins. Within a week, bitcoin value went up by 15% !!

My point is , due to deflation, why would people  spend bitcoin instead of fiat currency to buy regular items like electronics, shoes, groceries etc. I see lots of these sites coming up, but I am not sure what is the volume of business these sites are doing. Of course bitcoin is the currency of choice to buy stuff like drugs and in a decentralized fashion. Would it still make sense for businesses like Amazon (that anyway ask you to enter personal details) to accept bitcoins, seeing that fact the so much hoarding is going on.

I want to know what is general thoughts of the community on this.

For Silver due to VAT you are best off getting it from abroad. 
In Germany VAT is 7% of silver coins until the end of 2013, after that it goes up to 20%.

I don't understand how this isn't bigger news on this site.  Amazing.

The choice is yours,
