mtgox just pooped on your triangles and bollinger bands.

mtgox could not successfully liquidate all accounts with a margin call in a bursting of even a small bubble at 3:2 margining. one should place heavy default premium on mtgox trades (and consider trying to force a default) if he started margining this early in the game.

In an effort to measure the purchasing power of bitcoin, I suggest bitcoin community members make an effort to exchange bitcoins for big macs on at least a monthly basis. We will then have early data when The Economist invites bitcoin to join their "Big Mac Index". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Mac_Index |

Addressing points 1 and 2, bitcoins are scarce and infinitely divisible. These are strengths of bitcoins as stores of value. Exactly what problems did bitcoins help you solve if you identify these features as weaknesses? and don't worry about lost bitcoins. they make every remaining bitcoin worth that much more. like if you lost a dime, i would be slightly richer and guard my dime just a bit harder.
3, just wait
4, i am a late adopter to gold (i never mined any, but lots of others have). i'm fine with that
5, sell some stuff for bitcoins, people might buy it from you
6, don't get frauded

the most evil thing I've seen bitcoin do thus far is draw far too much of my attention to the bitcoin forum.

Freemoney's distinction is arbitrary only if you grant that your original post is vacuous. It's no fair to say that "*money as a form of positive social order* are just simply unquestioned" if the minute someone questions the very statement he is dismissed. An individual's choice to accept a bitcoin in exchange for a good or service relies only on the "core assumption" that he gains value in doing so. maybe change your inner-asteriskism to *money as a store of value* and you're correct-- but only tautologically.

There's a small divide growing in the bitcoin community between the group of skilled developers who generate the majority of the coins and the rest of the users (like me). I notice there's lots of talk about Tahoe-LAFS, but I'll be the first to admit I don't know what's really happening or how it might affect the future of bitcoin. Anyone out there want to go over the latest in bitcoin tech talk but do it in simple language?

and for users who don't want to send or receive cash through mail?

without even mentioning the rate of default on bitcoins on kiva (try to explain LiqPay to a Haitian), i think you might have trouble stirring up demand for bitcoin-denominated loans. "Here's 200 bitcoins. Go buy yourself a goat."

What you agreed to with Paypal is to deposit your money into your account at mtgox. if i'm not mistaken, mtgox has the right to do whatever he wants with your dollars. caveat emptor, no?

BTC is not a safe investment.
Asking Bitcoin Forum > Bitcoin > Bitcoin Discussion whether or not Bitcoins are safe may not get you the best answer, either.

I bet that nobody wants that less than MtGox owners themselves... relax, they'll do whatever they need/can.
I don't think the owners of Mtgox have much invested in the exchange. They run it on donations, they do it in their spare time and I have the hunch they might one day just retreat back into online gaming. The site wasn't even originally designed for the exchange of bitcoins, you know. |

with mtgox having paypal issues, i think we should turn our focus away from their dollar value (what good is $1.00 on mtgox without faster withdrawal capabilities? how much would you be willing to have mtgox take from your $1.00 if you could withdrawal dollars today?). let's get back to April, May and June discussions of "how much is a pizza worth in bitcoins?" without having to convert into dollars to answer the question.
with all the exchanges facing chargeback issues, shouldn't this be the best time to focus on exchanging goods and services for bitcoins? go to biddingpond if you want to buy bitcoins. offer some tennis balls, offer a delicious pizza, offer something of value and someone will pay you bitcoins for it! promise!
