Video Games, clothing, hardware, software

All of those classes of products are available via Bitcoin.

Let's make this realistic.

I'd like to buy one of the new AM3+ Asus Sabertooth mainboards, along with a befitting black edition Phenom and 1833 CL7 RAM with at least 5 year warranty, preferably from the same merchant, shipped to Germany speedily at competitive prices.

Can Bitcoin do that right now? I doubt it. There are a few dealers who can fulfill my request, but none accepts BTC! I would have to use some middle man magic, and nobody feels like doing that.

That's the thing. It's like saying Android has a good security model -- it's all good in theory, but the reality is: there's still a lot to do.

That's exactly the problem.

I don't think it's a troll, look at his post count.

It has nothing to do with economics.  Huge spreads happen with low volume.  The more volume the market has, the tighter the spread.

Volume looks high to me.

I don't trust Mt.Gox's volume, pricing, market depth, or any other data as far as I can throw it... and I can't throw it anywhere.
