This might be a repost, not sure. Have you seen the front page of npr.org? "Should you bank on Bitcoin?"
How can these people be so negative? They get some law student from harvard and they say "bitcoin will not be there in x amount of years". How can anyone possibly say that?

I didn't listen to the audio, but if you read their article dated today you'll see that they had trouble buying bitcoin, eventually getting $40 worth by visiting Bruce and paying cash. They then ate lunch at Meze's Grill and succeeded in paying for it from their mybitcoin account. Later, they lost their change when mybitcoin did its thing. I can understand them not being too enamoured with bitcoin yet.

Heh... this is a repost, and the article itself is a rehash of a previous item on NPR (from well over a month ago), which makes this thread a repost about a rehash  Grin

I figured you out, Piper67. You posted on this thread, not to just comment on the reposting of the rehashing, but knowing that I will come along to not only correct you (should have been: which makes this thread a rethread of a repost about a rehash), but also to add an image. So here I is, making sure not to disappoint you. (BTW, nice post. Enjoy the image.)

It's really Sire. The e is silent (and invisible). I wasn't making fun of you, Piper. I truly enjoyed your post, hence taking time to comment on it. Perhaps this image would of made you smile:

Oh, I never took offence, no worries at all. I really am impressed that you have a picture of a re-thread, though. Now, do you happen to have one of a monkey with a ouija board lying around somewhere... because we could use that one quite a bit on the speculation board  Cheesy

The creepy part is, he did the silkscreen shown in that picture.  Shocked

You're in luck. I just happen to have one. It's been kept in a #2 mayonnaise jar under Funk and Wagnall's porch since noon today. (the ouija board is implied)
