Name is Juan.
Happened upon this forum cause found something in the marketplace that I am interested in.
Doing my homework on bitcoin and must say still a little bit of a hard sell for me, though the concept is interesting.

Seems that this issue of trust (read as paranoia) is the biggest issue which is holding back bitcoins from growing by leaps and bounds and replacing more currencies as a way of doing business. The reality is that sooner or later bitcoins will have to go the way of all other forms of exchange just due to the simple fact that the concept is hard to come to grasps with. Someone has to be making money in the business of making money to be able to provide that level of security, name recognition, and/or insurance.
Yeah, Paypal sucks in terms of how it makes money, especially via ebay, but they do have an option of sending via Personal with no fees for either side, but you get stuck with not knowing if the other person(s) you are dealing with are legit.

I'm sure someone else has replied on this post similarly, but didn't want to spend forever reading through 14 pages worth of replies.
Just my 2 cents (not sure what that would be in bitcoins).

Sure this has been asked a bunch of times and I'm sure it's similar to other sites, but how do I post a reply to postings?
Thanks.
