Bitcoin is not at all like bonds, junk or otherwise.
Bitcoin is a commodity with no counter-party risk. Bonds are debt-obligations with counter-party risk.
If one must compare Bitcoin to something already in existence, the best comparison is to gold or silver, with the primary difference being that Bitcoin is far more volatile, and has nowhere near the long proven track record of the others.
A Bitcoin is an asset - it is a thing which one possesses. It has value due to its properties which make it useful. Every Bitcoin is uniform to every other, and thus it is a commodity (call it a digital commodity if you wish) just like gold, silver, oil and rice.

Can I just say how extremely impressed I am with the entire Blockchain.info site and the new wallet and android app. It's all fucking badass and I use it every day.
Great work x100. The property is a true asset to the community today and into the future.

When introducing friends to Bitcoin on their mobile, tell them to go to instawallet.org, bookmark the URL, and also email you the URL.
Then, send all the coins you want. They won't be able to destroy the coins or lose them, because they're not on the phone.
Then, once a friend is somewhat comfortable and wants the Bitcoin 102 lesson, set them up with Bitcoin Spinner or Blockchain.info's new android app (the latter is actually better because it's not depended on the phone itself).

Yeah those are just gorgeous. I will possess one some day.

Building a free market monetary system is probably the best way to help every person in the world, in the long term.
In the short term, if that organization accepted BTC, I'll pledge a few coins.

Or is all transactions on instawallet logged?
Yes, transactions are all logged by the Bitcoin client itself. <3 The transactions to instawallet was mixed, my coins was transferred to another users account and when withdrawing I received another user's coins. I once followed the transactions of my coins stored on instawallet with blockexplorer. So chain of transactions with coins purchased with my Mt.Gox account ends up being used to pay for killer wet job instead of buying ganja on SR. And I end up buying ganja with coins that was stolen from allinvain. I'm pretty sure Instawallet is continuing to run exactly as it was, with no difference. But yeah it'd be good to get confirmation on your question. Instawallet also had the wonderful green address, so you could set up three accounts, send coins between them via green address, and if you do it in different amounts at different times, then I see no way to prove linkage. It'd also be great if Instawallet would make a policy of destroying all transaction logs after 30 days or something.

"It is to demonstrate our commitment to such developments, that we will now pay our collaborators in a mix of currencies, and part of it will be in Bitcoin. The first of the members of the P2P Foundation to be paid Bitcoin honoraries is our in-house researcher Nicolás Mendoza. This first income was payed 50% in Bitcoin, and we are committed to offer all of our cooperators the possibility to receive Bitcoin payments at their convenience." http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/why-the-p2p-foundation-is-paying-its-salaries-in-bitcoin/2012/03/28

FeedZeBirds.com is a twitter-based site which you might be interested in for this project of yours, but it has no RSS feed.

Because unlike Bitcoins, women are inflationary currency. They are worth less and less over time until the price drops to almost nothing. If you like the woman for her looks, then this is definitely true. Whereas, if you got a woman who'll stick with you through the thick and the thin (rare), this is certainly not true. I'm sure Roger's got the latter. Congrats again, Roger! The attitude I got from women: - Why are you spending all day with computer? Are you a admin on deep web forum? You work with other hackers all over the world? Who cares, I better have boyfriend who is DJ in nightclub! - What are those Bitcoins? Decentralized and anonymous payment system that is not controlled by single entity? I got it, they are exactly like PayPal, only none of my friends have heard about them! There are few women who like me, but they are too ugly. I better have paid with SolidCoins then these women as a lifetime long partners. So loving the most beautiful girl I know is the best option. Dear my friend whom I haven't gotten a chance to meet in real life. The path you chose with the bitcoin is and will not be easy,but you know that already. Just like me, I'm sure you also have made other choices in your life that is unconventional and out of ordinary, that too, is the the path you chose. After awhile you'll realized that it is very lonely on the mountain top. Just like after Neo took the red pill from Morpheus... there might not be steak and luxuries in his life, but he is not enslaved, he walks a proudly, free man. A great relationship begins before you even start one. Stay on top of your health and wealth in this game of life. Treat everyone with respect, including the ugly women. When that amazing girl walks into your life, you will just be like our bitcoin champion, Mr. Roger Ver here, putting it down for a nice rock, price doesn't matter. I wish you well, friend. You are not alone. Wow that was very nicely put.

Hi, I am a noob to all this bitcoin stuffs. It sounds like an interesting idea but before I invest too much into it I have some questions and concerns. Perhaps highest on my list of concerns is the possibility that someone will buy up all, or most, of all the bitcoins that exist.
It is practically impossible to buy up all the Bitcoins that exist. As they are purchased, the price rises exponentially. Imagine how much this mysterious buyer would need to pay for the last Bitcoin still available? Who would sell it, and at what price? If there were only a few coins left, the price would be several millions of dollars, and people would simply use the fractions of a coin in the same way they today use a full coin. Furthermore, if someone attempted to do this, it would not harm anybody, and conversely the amount of resources that would be poured into Bitcoin would be immense! Every one of us who owns any coins at all would be rich, and would have the ability to start and fund new ventures. I can think of nothing that would accelerate the strength, power, and development of Bitcoin more than "someone trying to buy all the coins." Will it be just like the existing economic system where the rich get richer on the backs of the poor? Will that not destroy the whole bitcoin project and make whatever bitcoins I happen to get myself worthless?
The rich typically "get richer" because they earn money by providing things people want. This is also how the poor "get richer." Those crooks who get richer via the coercive power of government intervention or through fraud will not be benefited by a monetary system that removes this coercive power. Wealth is necessarily MORE merit based in a Bitcoin free market than in a fiat centrally-planned and controlled market, because those avenues to achieve wealth through anything other than merit are reduced through Bitcoin. To be sure, a more merit-based system may lead to greater wealth inequality... but so what. Every man has the right to that which he earns. The "distribution" of Bitcoins is meaningless - it is the manner by which one is able to acquire them which is important. One can acquire dollars through government force. One cannot acquire Bitcoins in that same manner. This is why Bitcoin is fundamentally "fair," no matter who's rich and who's poor, and why fiat currencies like the USD inevitably lead to wealth distribution that is fundamentally "unfair."

Thanks, I understand it a little better now. But I don't understand how to factor in the graphs with the lines. On orange, you can buy 80,000BTC at $4.20?
It means if you sold 80,000 right now at market price, it will push the price down to $4.20, because you'd "eat up" all the orders of people offering to buy.

Also don't forget to emphasize the fact that the Instawallet URL is the only way to access the funds. Girls WILL forget to bookmark/write it down. Triple check this one.

why would we discourage established companies from becoming involved with bitcoin? we should support ALL bitcoin endeavors that push it to a wider audience, not just those who are part of the inner circle.

Thanks rjk - I'll check it out.
Yeah that's what I meant - there are numerous ways to accept BTC and receive USD. "Exchange rate fluctuations" is only something the ill-informed suffer from In any case, nice work on the ring! I'll be standing by with non-fiat money to make a purchase asap

I will buy one if you accept Bitcoin. I'm confused how one could go through the trouble and effort of making a physical Bitcoin ring, and not yet know how to accept Bitcoins themselves? Like knowing how to build a car from scratch but never having driven one
