Am I the only one that finds this brief period of stability surprising?

I'm trying to go longer than a 50 year old Burmese python, but having to bleed a BTC here and there for the bills. But it's great not to have to bleed too many for the required fiat.

I got a few ASICMINER shares for that reason... so that I don't feel like I am losing bitcoins overtime. (it's a pretty small income though)

I suspect for noobs, $200 sounds a lot for 1 of anything especially if you don't really know what that thing is,  oh and then you hear they cost $13 in January.

Of course this is not the point and when new use cases arise, next week, next month, next year the number won't matter.

That's why if we would switch from 1.00000000 BTC to 1,000,000.00 XBT that would be beneficial for all because it is more human friendly and easier to use. Also you would be exchanging $1 for 10,000.00 XBT which feels like you have a lot of something.

Well as long as you didn't buy at 4.5 I sold my partials right there. Been looking at buying in again, but seems like a bit of a "Hail Mary" that Friedcat pulls something out now. Looking for somewhere to park a few coins that I don't have to babysit 24/7 though.
