I just booked 2 nights for the drive to and from my vacation in August. I sent a corresponding purchase through coinbase to replenish my bit coin of course.
that's nice and all, but it probably costs more having to exchange your fiat into btc to get your room.

maybe psychiatry kills, but so do the people who need meds but don't take them. you know, one of those psychos who end up shooting massive amounts of people in public.

this was on reddit once.. a guy tried to eat the whole gummy bear once, and he started peeing out whatever color the gummy bear was. he didn't feel very well for a while. i'd say it's probably a bad idea to do that.

ha, part of me thinks this whole game is interesting.. and another part of me thinks that it doesn't even matter what happens, we're still all fucked basically the same we were even if cantor weren't unseated.
it's kind of like taking down a drug cartel boss, only to have another one pop up. same bloodshed, same sadistic wacko.

i don't mind doing it.. i installed my aunt's desktop yesterday. when i was removing the old computer, she asked me if i needed to transfer the email from the old computer to the new one it can be a hassle to take care of shit for my uncle, but he's helped me so much that i do it without complaining. LOL...I've learned how to keep a straight face for that kinda people and do my laughing later. My grandmother could never figure out why her task bar keeps bouncing between the bottom and side of her computer screen even though I've shown her about a dozen times how to put it back the way it was. i must have told them at least 10 times throughout to stop using internet explorer, but every time i'm over there.. they click on that little blue e icon.. i've already told them that it's not only slower, but will likely end up causing more problems with your computer.. yet they stick with what they are comfortable with.

Man, we have it even worse in Canada. Some facts - "According to the CIRA 2013 Factbook, Canadians spend more time online than anyone else in the world—an average of 45 hours a month...According to Harvard researchers, Canada has some of the lowest internet standards among OECD countries, as a result of high costs and slow internet speeds."
yeah seems like you guys are under the influence of an oligopoly in canada, and to make matters worse.. there's not a whole lot to do in the inclement colder seasons.

"I actually have a deal with my parents that if I make a million dollars before I turn 18, I don't have to go to college," he said. "I’m going to do it or die trying." LOL this kid don't want to go to college )) I hope he changes his mind if he makes that million! there are lots of kids who forego college and get on the fast-track in computer technology though. you don't need to go to school if you're a really bright kid, which this kid may or may not be.

my lord, you expect me to live for 1 month without the internets? if i were a heroin addict, i would rather give that up. Your other option is to lose it forever.... if you really cant manage tether to your mobile for a month. 200 mb is not enough to last me for even a day. besides, i can't make everyone else in my house sacrifice for something that i believe in.

from most of the stories i hear about people losing a lot of money with bitcoin, it can usually be singled out to buying after a large run-up, and it never makes sense for me. you're late to the party, so you try to overcompensate by buying bitcoin at an ATH.. only to find out that it's heading down. i sure as hell wouldn't have bought bitcoin when it was $1100.. after jumping from $110 within a 6 week window.
