Guys, store is offline. What's up?

I am not advising a change in your strategy, however, you may want to think a little more carefully about this bit.

If it's going to the stars, a few percent ends up being HUGE. If it doesn't go up much, -then- a few percent won't be a significant amount of actual value.

This is the first time I've heard the term "cold-bloodedly" used in a positive way.

Traditional wisdom will say to diversify, however, he has a solid point. If everything else is losing value, it's pretty tempting to go all in with Bitcoin.

I hope he truly understands the fundamentals.

Erik please tell me you have some more backstory on this! Was he up all night? He seems like he is a little out of it. 

I've watched this segment 4 times today, and I love it. Other people are going to think he's nuts but I'm thrilled to see Max happy for a change.

Double thumbs up!

No reason to start another thread on this, especially when you haven't read the ones before it.
Your premise is clearly contradicted by Satoshi's emails/posts.

How are they supposed to fix the problems with their site if they are busy adding 500,000 listings to Bitmit? Who is going to handle the checkout process? And who is going to pay Bitmit's fees?

If you know people shopping on Bitmit that aren't aware of the BitcoinStore - maybe refer them. I don't think what you're suggesting is remotely feasible.

Worked for me. One successful order down, will place another one tonight.

It may not be perfect, but having this huge selection available is great for us. A friend of mine saw my shirt today and said (rather arrogantly, I thought) "I looked into Bitcoin, but I don't think it will work out. You can't buy anything with it."

Last year I would have had to say "Of course you can, drugs, online poker chips, and vpn services!" Today I said "Good sir, you can buy hundreds of thousands of consumer electronics, computers/components, etc. Kindly check yourself."

We need to support these guys while they work on their site. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Well, that was epic.

You'd think that for that .6% 1.2% of millions of dollars, they'd get their software and servers up to snuff.

This is ridiculous.

Yeah, of course. Make 100 calls, you'll get a few right. Their batting average is still ridiculously poor.

flaab, since you're so sure of your amazing insight about how we should be at 15-20, you won't be buying in again until we get that low, right?

LOL.

Bitfloor's trading engine is amazing.

The way to get help is NOT to slander services you don't understand.

And there's absolutely no reason to spam the board with thread after thread of the same topic.

You're not off to a very good start here.

The terms of the loan weren't "I send you BTC, you send me back horseshit." Have a little shame and keep your mouth shut until you can pay him back.

The 3 addresses are listed. Did any of the transfers from those 3 addresses go out to the donators?

The price on the site is stuck at 40.03 - it stayed there as the price dipped down close to 39 and now it's near 40.60. Something's wrong.

I'm sure they will improve the site as fast as possible. Please don't give up - if there's something on another site, post a link, ask for help.

This store is a huge step towards not having to cash out into fiat. Let's support it as strongly as possible!

The site doesn't seem to be updating the price for the last 2 hours or so. Stuck at 40.03.

BTC are ~$40. They were only ~$38 for a few minutes.  Don't expect to get an exchange price unless you go through all the hassle and delays involved with using an exchange.

However, you may be able to do better than 50$ each on localbitcoins.com, have you checked it?
