I don't see anything wrong to use mBTC instead of BTC, it's practical, nobody likes to use fractions.
You can think about this from a different angle: inflation vs deflation
Some time ago the UK govt talked about withdraw 1 penny coins from circulation (I think Canada already did?) You can't really buy anything with a penny, so why keep using it?
With bitcoin is the opposite, because the unit gains value over time due to it's nature (deflation)

I doubt Max Keiser invented bitcoin, he looks too narcissistic to stay anonymous for that long Attention-seeking extroverts don't match the cautious technologist profile that Satoshi is. Also, can we knock off the "who is satoshi" game? Its completely idiotic. The guy went anonymous for a reason, can't we respect that?
Agree but what about satoshi's coins? that's my main concern

I think you're assuming on-blockchain transactions with bitcoin fees - which they definitely wouldn't be doing (except for transfers in/out of the Paypal system) Then who will use them? If they are going to charge people 4% for BTC transactions, hardly anyone would chose Paypal. buyers will use paypal if they add services to bitcoin, like money back guaranteed and "approved" marchants, don't you think?

Barclays closed mtgox account long time ago, it's a shit bank (I am a customer, unfortunately). I think they also blocked deposit to other exchanges but I am now 100% sure about this. What the UK needs is a trading platform with the exchange,surely some guys must be trying to get one going
closest thing you can get now is bittylicious.com

this article is really stupid, I don't even understand how people can write shit like this. Bitcoin, the virtual currency you can theoretically use to buy things online. >> you can already buy things, not only online. But prices aren't set in terms of Bitcoin. They're set in terms of dollars. >> service aren't, good are because they seller use FIAT to buy them I guess Why spend bitcoins today when they might be worth much more tomorrow? The only reason would be to buy or do things online that you can't buy or do with dollars (or euros or yuan)—something illegal. >> they guy is a genius, I think this is the first time I read this.. What Bitcoin really needs is a central bank to stabilize its value. When the demand for Bitcoin goes up, they need to print more to keep it from skyrocketing. That is, they need to decide whether they want Bitcoin to be a Ponzi scheme for techno-libertarians or an actual medium of exchange.
seriously?

localbitcoin is the only place I know you can get mtgox price or above really. where are you located?
|
|

Stupid question but can't you buy BTC and transfer somewhere else? Price might be lower but at least you will be able to have your money back..

As of this morning all of my Cryptsy issues are solved. Thank you Cryptsy.
As above. OP, Until you post proofs you should be considered just a troll. Criptsy please put your shit together or you will lose most of your customers

Ok. This is cheap retarded FUD. What China really did was to finally decentralise mtgox price influence. People are not looking at mighty mtgox like they did before ( April crash anybody?) and that's why I believe BTC is NOT crashing but slowly going down.

I just withdrew some bitcoins from cryptsy - no issue whatsoever. I hope losing coins is just a rare occurrence.
ROFL, withdrawals are suspended. Who are you uhm? I'd say it's not. I hear all these horror stories on the forum, try to withdraw some coins myself, and what do you know? No withdrawal. Confirmation through email went through fine, but it's not showing up in my wallet, and it's also no longer in my account.
Same here, you should be able to see it in Balances > Show all Withdrawals

Litecoin ASIC's came out recently in China, imagine how easily they could 51% attack Litecoin with a few of those at this point if they wanted to just end it. Likely they're just milking it for profit but it just goes to show the potential instability.
source please? It's the first time that I see such a statement

watch the whole thing e521, you will get it I just did this is a kool video I am at 2009 now, it became clear!

It depends, LTC is the less risky while the others involve an higher rick. Are you planning to exchange the coins daily for BTC or keep them? It also depends what's your hash rate..

I am watching the video and trying to understand but
