USD = Destined to fail..  Unfortunatly until mtgox can stop people from flooding their system and causing huge bubbles to burst and then slowly rebuild to make profit it will always be an unstable form of currency.  People are greedy and rightfully so.  People have been held back by the american "False" Economy that they have no choice but to do what they can to earn more USD.  Bitcoin makes it easy for them 

When I wanted to invest in bitcoin. It was at 27$ per coin.  I had 5000$ I was ready to invest and my girlfriend was all like....I don't trust it.  So here I sit, seeing it at over 200$ for a short time and thinking wow,  160 bitcoins each going up 170$ a piece...THATS A NICE CHUNK OF CHANGE!

Whats with the crazy bitcoin price changes?  I need to get my head on straight with this one....

I really want to buy some coin, as in bitcoin.  I have 1000$ ready to throw into this awesome new currency.  I do though HATE the runaround it takes to buy any.  I haven't found a site yet that is easy to use at all.  Pain in the arse if I do say so myself.  I need a couple hints to make it easier so I can get started.  Any pointers?
