I sold an extra guitar for Bitcoin. The lady met me at a grocery store. After strumming a few tunes to feel its sound, she pulled out her phone and sent me BTC.

Living the dream, Elwar. I agree that Bitcoin is much more practical than gold for international travelers. I think that the type of person who hoards gold bars is also the type who would buy a house in Iowa. From the show:
"Even the people in Bitcoin aren't going to say it's better than gold"
I travel a lot, move a lot and consider myself more of a global citizen where I do not plan on living in one place for too long. So I live in a temporary apartment, I can fit everything I own in a carry on and backpack.
If I had as much gold as I do in Bitcoin I would have so much difficulty doing anything. This past summer I traveled with all of my belongings from Afghanistan to Dubai to the US then Turkey and finally settling in Germany. I carried everything I own to each location. I could not imagine going through so many airports with over 100 oz of gold. The weight alone would have been difficult, going through security would be crazy and the customs would be tedious. I would worry about someone at every border taking my gold, staying in hotels I would be paranoid about leaving the room (they could steal my laptop with my private keys but they would need 5 different difficult passwords to get to my bitcoins so that getting stolen would only inconvenience me).
I'm in an apartment where the landlord comes in and cleans once a week. I can't imagine hiding a bunch of gold in here. Or going into the woods and burying it. I have no idea how to get a German safety deposit box if I wanted to go that route.
I like gold but there is no way I can buy any. Sure, it is useful in computers until they figure out something cheaper.
I spend my bitcoins. I get paid in dollars but spend euros so being able to use bitwage.co to get paid in bitcoins and spend it for anything online and sell it for euros locally is much better than somehow getting paid in dollars then buying gold then looking for a way to sell gold locally or somehow spend it online.
I can pool my bitcoins with other people and vote anonymously, securely and transparently using the blockchain. To do that with gold would require some sort of gathering in a room, maybe some blindfolds and secret marks on each coin...I don't know how it could be done with gold.
I never thought gold was very fashionably pretty, I just think of a 70s pimp or Mr. T when I think of it as jewelry. I much prefer the look of silver.
So...
tl;dr "Bitcoin is better than gold." -Elwar

... How is it failing? I'm not seeing any evidence suggesting that it is. how come a perfect ponzi scheme like bitcoin can fail ? It's mathematically infallible and exponential growth is guaranteed !!!
i'm lost here !

On first glance it looks like it would sound like "money-roll" with the l's dropped like a gangsta. |

Conflict sells papers. Nothing like that daily outrage to get the morning started. I think that exchange went live in the US because it's a Winklevoss twin production. #nameRecognition #geneticNovelty The press only writes about things that sell - that are interesting. And all those incredible turns and events in Bitcoin do sell well, I guess. After the Gox failure, the almost Stamp failure, it is pretty impressive that regulated exchange goes live - in the US.

Yes, do elaborate. I, personally, think it will go to $1000 again, and most likely also above that even. But it may take some time. I really believe we may look back at this point as a good buying opportunity just like July 2013!
Seriously, what makes you think that? There's basically no news that can save the price now, ETF won't do anything, ATM's won't do anything, merchant acceptance may grow but only pushes the price down... More exchanges won't make a difference... Add to that the fundamentals are messed up beyond repair... How is that going to go up in value... please explain... |

Good question. 0.4? What are the chances mathematically to win such amount of BTC in the faucet? they must be ridiculously low??

lol cue epic photoshop battle How am I going to tell the wife my 10 satoshi didn't turn into 1 million bitcoins
It's going to be a dry night
Ahhh lol, your crazy bitpop  Damn. The Bitcoin dildo gets another workout.  wow all jokes aside this is some real nice work is this real? if so i know what i am getting wife for birthday, here she wont be able to say the digital crypto never brought her any joy  Just be advised that this dildo was made by an idiot scammer called "Wood Collector" who likes to pretend he knows about wood (I actually DO know a lot about wood). The Effing moron made bongs and a dildo out of Cocobolo, which is an extremely toxic wood that causes severe rashes (think poison ivy) and respiratory ailments. In other words this dildo that will likely give a raging cunt rash should have a Paycoin symbol laser burned into the handle... On top of that.. imagine if it started to splinter... oi. Fascinating..

Intoxicants may have been a factor here. But the zip ties make it sound premeditated. Holy shit, this is insane: http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20150113/long-island-city/bitcoin-trader-accused-of-murder-was-tied-up-coerced-sell-stocks-daKEW GARDENS — A Bitcoin trader charged with murder Tuesday beat his roommate to death with a hammer after being tied up and forced to liquidate his stocks, he told police.
Quentin Capobianco, 18, told police that his lawyer roommate, Jesse Smith, 29, had tied him up with duct tape and zip ties in their upscale Astoria apartment on Monday, and ordered him at gunpoint to sell his assets.
Capobianco told police at least one other person besides Smith was involved in the act.
The Queens District Attorney's office believes Capobianco's account but still hopes to convict him of murder because he escaped his bindings and went to another room where he snatched a hammer and clobbered Smith, his captor and business partner.
“I grabbed the hammer from the kitchen and hit Jessie three or four times until he was unconscious,” Capobianco told the police.
Capobianco and Smith ran a currency exchange business centered around Bitcoin, an online currency, according to government records and Bitcoin sites.
Sources told DNAinfo New York that Smith had argued with the young trader over damage done to the apartment in the Exo building at 26-28 21st St. about 3:30 p.m. Monday before tying him up.
Capobianco's lawyer Ronald Bekoff said it was too early to comment further on his client’s case, although he confirmed that the 18-year-old had a black eye — though he couldn't say how he got it.
Capobianco was charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon at Queens Criminal Court in Kew Gardens. Judge Elisa Koenderman ordered him held on $250,000 bond. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=889040.0Up to 20btc available as of writing.
