The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

" The dollar is working fine, and there’s no reason to think people want to switch to an exotic digital currency."

Way to make it easy to see how the only counter argument to not getting bitcoin in this article is inherently flawed, ergo buy bitcoin!

Even if you think USD is working, bitcoin will be there for when you change your mind!

Hence, Cyprus.  And if we believe what Max Kaiser has to say, these types of occurences may be the norm for the rest of this decade and possibly the next one, too!
Coinbase for selling BTCs
Fold for spending BTCs
PM me with any questions on these sites/apps!  http://www.montybitcoin.com


or Vircurex for trading alt cryptocurrencies like DOGEs
CoinNinja for exploring the blockchain.

What people tend to forget is that Bitcoin is more than just a currency.

It's not just unique; it’s punk rock...
