There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

I hope he tells mtgox to slow down trading. Fat chance.

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

The attention is certainly there towards Bitcoin. But our ability to keep the market running is bad bad bad.

<helo> funny that this proposal grows the maximum block size to 8GB, and is seen as a compromise
<helo> oh, you don't like a 20x increase? well how about 8192x increase?

Cramer says that he's going to send some people on Monday to the bar in NYC that accepts Bitcoins to see if they can purchase a pint there.  Let's see if he really does it.

If anyone knows of this bar, please give them a heads up.

On Sunday, EVR bar and lounge in New York will start accepting Bitcoins for drinks and food. “We have to train all the waitresses,” says Charlie Shrem, a partner at the club.

It was weird because they started by showing Cramer doing a guest appearance on some TV series where he's testi-lying in court about Bitcoin and how it's not a real currency. They return to him live in the studio and he says that Bitcoin doesn't have real value (can't remember his exact words).  Then Cramer says that on Monday 4/15/2013 he's sending some people to the bar that accepts Bitcoins (EVR Bar in Manhattan 39th Street). Then they just went off the topic.

My opinion -- Cramer is an ass-clown. A monkey has about the same success rate in picking stocks.

http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2006/03/24/sad-money-cramers-stock-picking-prowess-in-question/

Let's never forget about Jim Cramer's "Bear Sterns is fine" statements right before the imploded.

Oh yeah.  Jon Stewart took him apart into little blubbering pieces, once upon a time...

That is fine. I just use bitcoins to buy and sell stuff.

So, whatever you call something that is used as a means of exchanging goods and services...that is what Bitcoin is.

First seastead company actually selling sea homes: Ocean Builders https://ocean.builders  Of course we accept bitcoin.
