Not that I have the cash to buy 50000BTC, but I'm wondering how many people there are who actually feel comfortable enough that it won't get stolen in some manner to invest those kinds of sums.  Keeping your wallet 100% safe is not a trivial task for most.

Hi Folks,

First attempt to acquire BTC by selling something.

Looking to sell some Citi Thankyou Reward Points - 2000 points for 3.1BTC.  I have more, but starting small - PM to purchase, or post with any questions.

Please read the terms and conditions if interested:
https://www.thankyou.com/transferPoints.jspx

Especially..
"6. Transferred Points received expire 90 days from the date they are received."

So only buy if you have a near term use for them:)

If I have left off any critical information please let me know!

I'm thinking if a remote community in a developing country is given access (or additional access) to Solar Power, they could probably find more economically productive uses for it than mining Bitcoins!

Thinking of selling Chase Ultimate Rewards points (and some other programs) for BTC. There a way to do that on this site?

I was wondering about this myself.
If mining becomes unprofitable, then the value of your bond would surely drop - so preservation of principal would seem to be a concern.

At least mining yourself you can sell your GPU's if they stop being useful for mining.

I must be a newbie..what is a GPG?

To me the big problem is security of the bitcoins.

I would seriously consider putting a fair chunk of change into BTC longterm (basically betting on the currency's long term success) but I am not confident in my abilities not to either have my wallet stolen, or 'lose' it.

Hello folks, trying to figure out to operate in bitcoin safely for larger amounts.  Seems like if you invest too much you make yourself a target for hackers.

Right now I have more gold coins than BTC!
