A friendly reminder about why it's worth the effort to continue the Bitcoin experiment.

Sometimes i feel sorry for you americans 
But as long as we're supporting BTC, people will have an alternative.

Would be good to check out BitSpend and BitcoinRunner.

Only problem is that it looks like the banks are planning to abolish paper money in the future.

Well not really, it's true for the basics we still have to use paper money and they can do things like trace that through the exchanges, but as as been talked about many times, the amount of trouble it would cause them to go and catch all the Bitcoin users out there would be ridiculous, when we see farmers and real estate agents etc. openly accepting Bitcoin that's when things are going to get nasty.

I have never "cashed out" and never will. My coins are for spending not selling. I don't understand why so many peers work their ass of to get BTC , then sell for a thee dollar profit. Why not just spend the coins?

Bad thing about buying stuff with bitcoins is your location.
In america their are a lot more traders that accept the amazing bitcoins.
But in euro it is hard to buy with it since either we have to pay tax on anything that gets imported or the price of shipping is a massive joke.
