'I want to link my Bitcointalk name with BTCJam's. Verification code: 117a3420-f7ad-44d4-bb3b-43d8c57de161'

Very Nice site!  We added it to our Sites We Use.  Great Work!  http://glcbitcoin.com/sites-we-use

Great Post @twiifm & I agree with what you are saying!

In looking at the free trial I think it has de minimis functionality as a pro trading platform. However, the easy user interface, the news aggregation component, and the security of the wallet all combined lead me to one conclusion. They endeavor to be THE goto MOBILE trading & security platform.

I'm very sorry for your loss.  Putting all your trust in MTGox.  That's just not thinking, or being lazy.

Specifically good resources about trading BTC or XBT?  Versus the $.

There is a Meetup at:

Atlas Brewing Company
2747 North Lincoln Avenue, Chicago, IL


Atlas Brewing Company in Chicago's Lincoln Park Neighborhood has agreed to accept Bitcoin on a trial basis on the evening of Tuesday January 7th, 2014.
Bring your coins to show your support for this local merchant to accept Bitcoin!
You will be able to pay for your food and beverages with Bitcoin.
Contact jonathan@chicagomint.com for more info!

Starts at 7pm.  This is the 1st bar/restaurant that I know of to start accepting BTC. 

Does anyone else know of a bar/restaurant in the Chicago area that accepts BTC? 
I'd love to know if there is!

This Meetup is is sponsored by "The Chicago Bitcoin Meetup" group at meetup.com

I have bought my Bitcoins on Coinbase.  Today I caught an article about the BTC-e founders contacting Coindesk and they won't reveal their true identity.  That's a little sinister, don't ya think?

The government wants to tax it and try to keep the consumer safe.  Good luck with all that.
