As mentioned above, some regulations already apply. Such as tax obligations.

I hear what your saying and you may be right. But if one factors in the complexity of setting up an bank account and getting it linked to a credit card, then bitcoin may compare more favorably. Once your client is up and running, pulling he trigger on a purchase is easy.
When it comes to international sales I think bitcoin is even more powerful. I bought a food recipe from a student in China once. Can you imagine how difficult that would have been without bitcoin?

// Welcome program

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
  cout << "Hello fellow peer!";
  return 0;
}

Utility. It is the safest, simplest way to buy anything from anyone in the world. 

Got a somewhat neutral reply from wikimedia.

Rodeox, Nov 29 06:49 (PST): As a fan of wikipedia's knobble contribution to the Internet and
humanity, I would like to thank you and offer some support. I know that
the need to raise money is a constant struggle and that every bit helps.
However I have not found a way to safely and privately donate to
Wikipedia, I would urge you to consider accepting donations denominated
in Bitcoin.
Bitcoin offers you the opportunity to receive help without sharing part
of the donation with PayPal or credit card companies. Many of us will
simply never use such options for donation. Your money is ready to be
transmitted and would be in your wallet in seconds, if only you had a
bitcoin wallet.
Fellow knowledge seeker,

You got me thinking. I'm pretty sure I have never seen a news article accurately describe what bitcoin is. Has anyone in the press ever gotten this right?

Nice bug report exxe! Thank you.

Huh?? 

Don't tie that nut to me! lol

But seriously, your partner is one of the few things up there not bolted down. You would want to clip into the structure. Kinda like grabbing the rope while rock climbing. It feels natural, but the rope moves around while the rock is solidly in place.

Tell her. You have nothing to loose. Just tell her "I like you, and I'm going to try to impress you." Tell her your going to try for a month, then move on if it does not work out. If you follow through with that plan then you can't loose.

The most likely outcome may be that she marries the guy but remembers you for years. Then when she is old, fat and preggo she will call you one night. lol

Based on nothing, by the way. 

Why would one jump to the least likely explanation for a weird sound?

I want to be bad Jesus! That would be more fun. 

I led mountaineering trips for years and never got over my fear of height. I just got better at trusting my gear. But this, NO F#<king WAY!

This theory has been shown to be a math trick. It was applied to Moby Dick, the dictionary and other works, which also showed these coded "predictions". It is not about the bible, rather a formula to create patterns. There is nothing magical about the bible. It is typical of ancient writings.

A few posts down. Maybe he is not too far from you?

Banks already have such a currency. It's called money. Right?

Whenever I'm in Germany, your my new cab driver. License or not.   

This is a crazy conspiracy theory that turned out to be true.

They can't charge too much in tax or it will just go back underground. Besides, there should be enough for a high tax and some real profits; and it could still be cheaper.
