I want one but I don't have any BTC. Do you accept fiat?

Indeed, the emails were spammed. Silly me, never thought to check.

So, in effect, they are the same thing, only notify sends email and watch keeps notifications on-site... right?

Furthermore, i'm not getting any notification emails, even though I've selected that I want to be notified when I reply.
Plus, I've made sure that I've "watched" and "notified" the thread.

What's the difference?
I've read the newbies faq, i've read the help section, but I still can't quite figure out the difference.

One dollar has still the same approximate value. With 1.30 usd you could buy 1 euro.
But between now and 3 months earlier, the value of bitcoins changed a lot

That's the result of the government controlling the liquidity though.

Assume the value of crude oil sky-rockets, and you want to buy it.
When there are not enough bitcoins to match the demand, it's value goes up, because everyone wants more bitcoins so that they won't get cold.
When there are not enough dollars to match the demand, the government doesn't want you to get cold, so it generates more dollars. To you, your dollars seem stable, but in reality they are devalued a little.

BitCoin is NOT a currency. Any business is rolling the dice accepting BitCoin with how volatile the price is. With how rapid the price swings (mostly down), no logical business would/should accept BitCoin. No different than gambling. To my knowledge my dollar last week is still a dollar today, not true with BitCoin, you would have taken a hefty loss this week only!

Actually, if you put it simply, BTC is more like stocks than money. The price fluctuates and your assets may lose value. It's price is driven by demand, like stocks.

Only, there isn't a company behind it...

And you can buy stuff. So it kinda reminds of money. What if you had Apple stocks, and you could buy a Mac with 0.5 of your MacCoins? Wouldn't that be money?

Oh, and your dollar isn't really a dollar... sure, the note/coin is the same, but it won't buy you the same amount of oil/gas/eggs/Euros this week and the next.

So, I guess dollars (and money in general) are kinda like stocks... right? Isn't that why you'd invest in a foreign currency?

Anyway, I don't really get the whole economy stuff, but I'm more interested in buying BTC than FaceBook stocks.

Hope my little brainstorming helps.
