I have been trying to find a way to buy BTC but ive been on 3 sites where they want $160+
I am predicting a BTC crash, not only is it a pain in the sack to buy them you get gouged by the prices and fees
This seems to be a HUGE hurdle BTC is going to have to get over (getting USD into BTC effectively, anonymously)
it costs something like .000x BTC worth of electricity to generate 1 BTC
I can only assume the only reason BTC maintains ~$140 price is because the majority of coins are held by a few people
BTC has become what it was meant to combat
bring on the flames...
I wonder why you want to bring on the flames.
The other thing I note is that you can also get bitcoins by working for them. Not only by selling fiat. Maybe it is near 140$ because of people salaries too.
i figured most peoples views here would be in sharp contrast to mine, seems no one felt to strongly about it XD
